“…Therefore, to ensure ecosystem services and the sustainable use of land resources, it is recommended to strictly control the occupation of arable land for construction, ensure that high-quality arable land is not occupied, prohibit uncontrolled land reclamation, and avoid intensification of water and soil erosion (Chen et al 2021). This can be achieved by reasonably planning land resources, revitalizing unused land, and selecting appropriate areas for transformation and utilization (Lu et al 2022). High-value areas of ecosystem services should be established as ecological reserves to enhance the ecological functions of the area (Zhang et al 2018, Yuan et al 2023.…”

Disturbance from human activities has intensified the evolution of ecosystem structure in the Jianghan Plain of China, leading to intensified conflicts between ecosystem services. It is essential to clarify the trade-off synergies between ecosystem services in the Jianghan Plain of China to better coordinate the economic and social development and ecological protection of the region. Based on historical data and scenario predictions using the GeoSOS-FLUS model, the InVEST model was applied to five key ecosystem services: Carbon storage, crop production, habitat quality, soil conservation and water yield from 2000 to 2020. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the trade-off synergies between different ecosystem services in space and time. The results showed that arable land and water land areas are the most important land types in the Jianghan Plain of China. From 2000 to 2020, the increase in build-up land and water land areas was accompanied by a decrease in arable land, forest land and unused land, and an increase in forest land. The natural development scenario in 2035 continues this trend except forest land reduction, while the ecological protection scenario reverses this trend. From 2000 to 2020, crop production, water yield, and soil conservation increased in the Jianghan Plain of China, while carbon storage and habitat quality declined significantly, showing a spatial distribution pattern of higher in the northwest and lower in the southeast. The comprehensive ecosystem services simulated in 2035 showed a downward trend compared with 2020, and the ecological protection scenario has the smallest decrease. There is an overall synergistic relationship between the five ecosystem services in the Jianghan Plain of China, and the strongest synergistic relationship is between soil conservation and water yield.

“…These high‐intensity perturbations triggered a degradation trend in the ecosystem (Bongaarts, 2019), which means the long‐term reduction of the structure, function and capacity of the ecosystem (Delgado & Marín, 2020). The imbalance between human and land systems leads to increasing ecological risk (Juanita et al, 2019; Peng et al, 2020), illustrating that the well‐being of residents and ecological security of the country and the region is threatened, which will pose a significant barrier to global or regional sustainability (Lu et al, 2022). The relationships and interactions among ESs are complex at regional to global scales (Lyu et al, 2019).…”

Rapid global urbanization has perturbed ecosystem structures and functions, resulting in ecological risk and threatening sustainable human well‐being and socioeconomic development. However, scientific indicators to analyze ecosystem service (ES) risk patterns need to be explored in detail. In addition, studies on ES supply risk are stagnating on historical or status explorations, especially from the view of disturbance from land‐use changes. This study seeks to develop a framework for modeling past‐future ES supply risk pattern evaluation and probing into ES risk patterns under different future land‐use scenarios. To achieve this objective, the framework integrates the Future Land Use Simulation (FLUS) model, the Intelligent Urban Ecosystem Management System (IUEMS) model, and an established indicator system incorporating ES supply trend, hotspots and coldspots, and ES trade‐offs, and synergies. The results show that: (1) In 2050, the supply of climate regulation in the Xi'an Metropolitan Area (XMA) will increase, while that of carbon sequestration and recreation will decrease. In 2050, the supply of climate regulation is the highest under ecological protection (EP) scenario, while the supply of carbon sequestration and recreation are the highest under cropland protection (CP) scenario. (2) From 2000 to 2050, the hotspots and coldspots of climate regulation increase in both natural development (ND) scenario and CP scenario. Notably, CP scenario experiences the most significant reduction in extremely significant hotspots and coldspots of carbon sequestration. From 2000 to 2050, at the regional and pixel scales, climate regulation and carbon sequestration mainly show trade‐offs, and carbon sequestration and recreation show synergies. (3) ES supply risk in XMA is high in the center and low in the north and south. The ES supply risk from 2000 to 2050 is increasing, with expanding “extremely high risk”, “high risk”, and “extremely safe” areas. ES supply risk management should adhere to more strict land‐use policies and guidelines, management zoning for areas with different levels of ES risk, and an accurate understanding of ES trade‐offs and synergies for scientific risk management. This study could provide theoretical and technical references for ES risk assessment research and promote scientific ecological risk management.

“…However, land degradation is accelerating with the rapid expansion of degenerative land use transitions such as those from natural or semi-natural ecosystems to built-up lands and croplands (Zhang et al 2007, Liu et al 2022a, Lin and Wang 2023. This can severely damage the ecosystem (Assessment 2005, Song and Deng 2017), strengthen biological homogenization (Sahraoui et al 2021), hinder ecological processes such as the water cycle, soil accumulation, and plant photosynthesis (Mascarenhas et al 2019, Lu et al 2022, affect the geochemical cycle (Dunn et al 2012, Guan et al 2021, and cause biodiversity losses, which exacerbate regional ecological risks (Foley et al 2005, Xie et al 2020. It is expected that the impact of land degradation will intensify in the future (Chen et al 2020, Mohamed andWorku 2020), highlighting the urgent need for prevention and control measures (Zhang et al 2018).…”

“…Although Liang and Song (2022) considered potential ESs in the ecological risk assessment of LULC changes, they did not provide detailed rules and results for the simulation of the LULC, making it challenging to clarify the relationship between the two and ecological risk. Similarly, Lu et al (2022) systematically and extensively studied the risk of ES degradation in Wuhan, China, from the perspective of land development, but the issue of spatiotemporal scale effects in the study has not been adequately addressed. Moreover, current research efforts do not couple fundamental ecosystem structural and functional indicators, nor do they provide comprehensive insights into the role of land development and degradation in supporting regional ecological risk assessment (Balvanera et al 2022).…”

Land degradation poses significant threats to the sustainability of ecosystem structures, functions, and services, leading to increasing ecological risks. However, integrative assessment of the ecological risk driven by land degradation remains a challenge. In this study, we established a methodological framework for assessing regional ecological risk by integrating degenerative land use transitions with multiple ecological indicators. Specifically, eleven degradation modes of land use transitions and seven indicators on ecosystem structures, functions, and services are quantitatively integrated using remote sensing data from 2000 to 2020 in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau of China. Results revealed that the comprehensive ecological risk of the plateau is higher in the southern and northern regions. Furthermore, we found that land development from forests towards cropland and degradation towards grasslands lead to higher ecological risks than grassland development and degradation. The ecological risk tends to show a significant distance decay pattern around the patches with land degradation. Our research framework provides an efficient, explicit, and transferable means of exploring spatiotemporal changes in ecological risk caused by degenerative land use transitions at the regional scale. It presents a constructive tool for facilitating regional-scale land use and ecosystem management planning and assessment.
