“…During the study period, the wetland ESVs in the study area showed a decrease in total, consistent with the findings of previous research [55,56]. From an ESV contribution perspective, the water body was the highest contributor, followed by the wetland, together contributing nearly 90% of the ESV in the study region.…”

Land use/cover change (LUCC) can impact the provision of ecosystem service values (ESVs), particularly in wetland regions that are subject to frequent and unsustainable land conversions. Exploring the past and future trajectory of LUCC and its effects on ESV has a great significance for wetland management and habitat stability. This study tried to reveal the patterns and magnitude of LUCC on ESV under varying land development scenarios in the Yellow River Delta region, which is a typical region undergoing serious degradation in China. In this study, a combined approach utilizing equivalent coefficients of ecosystem services was employed to determine the ESV of the wetland in relation to the major land use types (LUTs). The Markov–FLUS model was then used to simulate LUTs across multiple scenarios in 2030 and to clarify the relationship of ESV between wetland and other LUTs. The results indicated that the wetland was severely degraded, with a loss in area of 6679.89 ha between 2000 and 2020. Cropland and water body were the main sources of diversion and turnover for the wetland, respectively. Despite the multiple scenario projections revealed, the wetland area exhibited a similar growth rate and a homogeneity in ESV under the natural development (ND), urban construction and development (UCD), and the ecological development (ED) scenarios. The ED scenario was deemed the optimal development strategy for the wetland ecosystem. Our research will improve the comprehension of land development decisions and promote sustainable development in estuarine wetland areas.

The Egyptian government recently undertook a large-scale national dredging project to improve the properties and productivity of the northern lakes. Manzala Lake has a distinctive ecological system that offers locals a variety of ecological services. This study was occurred using an integrating approach of remote sensing and Markov modeling to determine the land use/cover (LULC) change of Manzala Lake’s components. The physiochemical characteristics of the water were also measured. Six LULC classes namely; water, crops, vegetation, urban areas, bare lands, and, sabkha were detected in and around the lake in three different years (1998, 2010, and 2022). The LULC transition was studied and predicted using the CA-Markov model. The area of surface water, flooded vegetation, sabkha, and urban areas were increased by the year of 2022. The bare lands were declined more comparing with the past periods. The new developments in Manzala Lake made more changes in the LULC of lake ecosystems. Also, it is an indication to exploitation the bare areas around lakes into new urban areas. The obtained results were necessary for the revised management plan. It is essential for managing the lakes’ land resources, and vital to carefully consider the development strategies to determine how these projects will influence on the environment and biodiversity. In addition, to what extent this lake productivity will improve and help in the recovery of Egypt’s national income.
