The rapid economic development (ED) of the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) has had a significant negative impact on regional ecosystem services (ES). Accurately understanding and properly handling relationship between ES ED is critical to achieving coordinated YREB. Restricted by minimal number research units, traditional studies have not fully considered spatial heterogeneity influencing fa...

In this exploratory study we use existing in situ qualitative and quantitative data on biophysical and social indicators to compare two contrasting Swedish farming systems (low intensity and high intensity) with regard to ecosystem service supply and demand of a broad suite of services. We show that the value (demand) placed on a service is not necessarily connected to the quantity (supply) of ...

Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes alter the ecosystem structure and function, resulting in variations of Ecosystem Service Values (ESVs). This study investigated impacts LULC on ESVs over 37 years Cherangany Hills Water Tower (CHWT) Kenya. Landsat images from 1985 2022 were used to examine historical CHWT. Supervised classification was carried out using Random Forest (RF) classifier R-Studio w...

We have developed a social optimization model that integrates wastewater treatment cost function and ecosystem damage cost function. The social optimal abatement level of water pollution is determined by finding the tradeoff between pollution control cost and ecosystem damage. The model is applied to data from the Lake Taihu region in China to demonstrate this tradeoff. A wastewater treatment c...

This paper chose Eastern China area, Central China area, Western China area and Northeast China area as the study object and chose landuse classifications as the basic ecological system unit. It roughly estimated the regional ecological system service value. The theory of ecosystem service value, the method of ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity are applied to analyze the cros...

Currently, the internationally recognized land degradation neutrality (LDN) effort is evaluated using three indicators: use/cover, productivity, and carbon stocks. However, these indicators may not completely capture factors influencing LDN, some evaluation rules are in line with restoration goals of China. Therefore, this study introduces ecosystem service value (ESV) indicator, assesses diffe...

Advances in technology and digitalisation have changed the ways services are created and offered to users. Successful new innovative services and service value co-creation are done in collaboration with organisations and actors in contexts such as business ecosystems. The research relating to service design and open innovation in business ecosystems is cross-disciplinary, and relevant knowledge...

Ecosystem service values have rarely been incorporated in the process of planning ecological infrastructure for urban areas. Urban ecological infrastructure is a network system of natural lands and waters that provides ecosystem services. The purpose of this study was to design landscape corridors that maximize the value of ecosystem services in ecological infrastructure planning. We explored t...

The value of ecosystem services and service capabilities continue to improve, the way form a path resource industrialization development has become one important directions sustainable development. This paper mainly takes construction national parks as major opportunity explores temporal spatial changes in Qilian Mountain National Park (Gansu area) industrial system park construction. total was...
