“…Most of these material and organism flows overlap with provisioning ecosystem service flows (e.g., food, materials, fresh water, and energy; Díaz et al 2018, Schröter et al 2018. Trade-related physical flows are well covered in the metacoupling literature (Manning et al 2023) and were examined in 34% of the evaluated studies, followed by human flows (8%; including tourism, human migration, and human trafficking; Fig. 2).…”

The world has become increasingly metacoupled through flows of materials, energy, people, capital, and information within and across systems. Transboundary flows, connecting adjacent and distant systems, are deemed the most critical indicators for measuring the intensity of interactions among coupled human-natural systems. To advance metacoupling flow research and governance, we make the first attempt to develop a typology of transboundary flows using six flow attributes (i.e., type, magnitude, direction, distance, time, and mode). Furthermore, we synthesize a portfolio of quantitative and practical methods for characterizing transboundary flows. To effectively govern transboundary flows for global sustainability and resilience, we highlight the need to recognize the shared risks and goals embedded in the interlinkages, use system thinking, and enhance multilateral cooperation.

“…All spatial relationship estimation models are based on aspatial regression models that incorporate weight matrices to formulate Tobler's first law of geography into a regression framework (Manning et al, 2023;Zhu et al, 2022;Qu and Lee, 2015). Spatial regression models describe the spatial relationship between one or more variables when incrementally enlarging weight elements are multiplied by the variables as they get spatially closer to the responses (Yu and Yao, 2017).…”

The spatial relationships between predictors and responses are influenced by their frequency and spatial distribution. Ecological bias in regression models can occur due to the aggregate frequency and clustering of independent variables, leading to false, over-, or underestimations. This can be exacerbated by an increase in data resolution, complexity, and variable count, as is often the case in urban research scenarios. To address this issue, a new relationship-estimation model called the Ecologically Corrected Spatial Relationship Estimator (ECSRE) was proposed and compared to Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). The results showed that ECSRE outperformed GWR by correctly revealing pre-planned relationships in simulated data, presenting a lower influence of aggregate frequencies on the outcome, better suppression of specification errors, higher R2 scores, and better randomness of residuals.

“…Ecosystem services research provides an effective framework for addressing complex issues related to human economic and social development and sustainable resource utilization by integrating various factors such as ecology, economy, and society (Fu et al, 2015; Lv et al, 2018; Manning et al, 2023). However, certain ecosystem services (e.g., food supply, water provisioning) may experience temporal delays and spatial mismatches between their supply and demand (Goldenberg et al, 2017; Gounand et al, 2018; Huang et al, 2022; Xiang et al, 2022), leading to inaccurate assessments of regional ecosystem services when only considering supply–demand balance (Burkhard et al, 2012; Garau et al, 2021).…”

The ecological shelter serves a dual purpose of protecting the target ecosystem from damage and benefitting surrounding ecosystems. One important ecosystem service provided by such areas is water provisioning service, which has significant impacts on the surrounding ecosystems due to its flow characteristics. This study aimed to simulate water resources in Inner Mongolia and its surrounding watersheds in 2010 and 2015 using a simplified service path attribution networks (SPANs) model. The InVEST software was utilized to simulate water provisions, and five types of water consumption were used to calculate the total water consumption. Probability statistics with BBNs were utilized to classify variables influencing water provisioning services and calculate state probabilities under different levels of water provisioning services. The results indicated that the remaining water resources in Inner Mongolia were 3.85 × 1010 m3 in 2010 and 1.92 × 1010 m3 in 2015. Additionally, the total net outflow from Inner Mongolia was 2.37 × 1010 m3 in 2010 and 1.58 × 1010 m3 in 2015. Inner Mongolia not only supplies water resources for its own needs but also supports the surrounding areas. Key variables influencing the amount of water‐provisioning services include precipitation, level of economic development, topography, and land use. This research highlights the considerable regional and transregional effects of water provisioning services provided by Inner Mongolia's ecological shelters by delineating the “supply‐flow‐demand” pathway, addressing the spatial correlation deficiency between supply and demand in the field of ecosystem service flow research. The findings of this study, focusing on a typical ecological shelter, can serve as a reference for future research in other similar shelters.
