“…Following 2010, as social and economic levels improved and urban development accelerated, construction land for residences, industrial parks, and public service facilities increased significantly, while grassland and cultivated land decreased, resulting in a decrease in ESV. The findings of the study agree with those of 28 .…”

The value of ecosystem services, as well as their temporal and spatial characteristics, can be used to help areas develop focused and localized sustainable ecological management plans. Thus, this study conducted in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) of China, analyzed the ecosystem service value (ESV) and its spatial–temporal variation characteristics. This study used the equivalent factor and geospatial exploration methods, introduced the elasticity coefficient, and explored the response of ESV change to land-use change, based on the land use cover data from 1990 to 2020. The results showed that from 1990 to 2020, YRB ecosystem service value showed an overall increasing trend, mainly because the ecological construction project increased forest and grasslands in this region. In the past 30 years, spatial characteristics of ESV in YRB was relatively stable. The high-value areas were mainly distributed in the upper Yellow River Basin, while the low-value areas were mainly distributed in the lower Yellow River Basin, as the cold and hot spots were reduced. The ESV barycenter coordinates showed the direction of the transfer trajectory, which is first to southwest, northeast, and then to southwest. From 2000 to 2010, YRB land-use change had greater impact on ESV. Since 2010, the disturbance of ecosystem services by land-use change has decreased. Consequently, the elastic index of the upstream and Loess Plateau regions were significantly higher than that of other regions, and the impact of land-use change on ecosystem services was more obvious, due to improved large-scale ecological construction projects implementation. Conclusively, this study recommends the use of comprehensive spatial–temporal assessment of ESV for sustainable development and ecological protection in the YRB.

“…Therefore, these changes in the ESVs were strongly related to changes in the farmland, forests, and water bodies. Further, the results of this study are consistent with those of Xin and Meng et al [48,80]. Correlation analyses have been commonly used to explore ecosystem services trade-offs and synergies [81,82]; for example, Roces-Díaz used correlation analysis to determine the synergy between cultural and amenity services and regulating services.…”

Land use/cover change (LUCC) from increased urbanization significantly impacts regional ecosystem services. Based on a cold/hot spots analysis, this paper used grain yield, food prices, price index statistics, and a land use thematic map to study the impact of LUCC on four ecosystem services values (ESVs) in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, and determine the spatial differences resulting from the rapid urbanization LUCC. The correlation between the four ecosystem services was then studied and sensitivity analyses conducted to investigate whether any changes in the ESVs could lead to unacceptable unit value transfer uncertainties. It was found that most urban land was converted from farmland, and that before 2000, the total ESVs and the regulating services values (RSVs) increased significantly, after which it declined, the provisioning services values (PSVs) declined year on year, the habitat services value (HSV) and cultural and amenity services value (CSV) declined sharply after 2000, and the spatial distribution of the four ESVs were significantly different. Over time, it was found that the hot spots were shrinking and the cold spots were spreading. The provisioning services were found to be negatively correlated with habitat services and cultural and amenity services, the regulating services were weakly positively correlated with the provisioning services and significantly positively correlated with the habitat services and cultural and amenity services, and the habitat services were significantly positively correlated with cultural and amenity services. In the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, the water area is the most important for the total ESVs, followed by non-bush forest. Paddy field is ranked third. Dryland, bush, grassland, and wetland are less important. The importance of barren land is almost zero. This research provides the government with a scientific basis from which to formulate spatial planning and environmental protection policies for ecological sustainable development in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration.

Evaluating the value of ecosystem services and clarifying their temporal and spatial characteristics can effectively assist regions in formulating targeted and localized sustainable ecological management strategies. This study takes the Yellow River Basin (YRB）in China as the research area, analyzes the ecosystem service value (ESV) and its spatial-temporal variation characteristics in this region, using the equivalent factor method and geospatial exploration method, introduces the elasticity coefficient, and explores the response of ESV change to land use change, based on the land use cover data from 1990 to 2020. The results show that from 1990 to 2020, the ESV of the YRB showed an overall increasing trend, mainly because the ecological construction project increased the forest land and grassland in the region, thus the ecosystem service function was improved. In the past 28 years, the spatial characteristics of ESV in the YRB are relatively stable. The high-value areas are mainly distributed in the upper Yellow River, while the low-value areas are mainly distributed in the lower Yellow River, but the cold spots and hot spots are reduced. The ESV barycenter coordinates show the direction of the transfer trajectory, which is first to the southwest, then to the northeast, and then to the southwest. From 2000 to 2010, the land use change in the YRB had a greater impact on ESV. Since 2010, the disturbance of ecosystem services by land use change has decreased. The elastic index of the upstream region and the Loess Plateau region is significantly higher than that of other regions, and the impact of land use change on ecosystem services is more obvious, which is mainly because the large-scale implementation of ecological construction projects has significantly improved the ecological function of the region. Our results is conducive to promoting the coordination of sustainable development and ecological protection in YRB, which is based on a comprehensive spatial-temporal assessment of ESV.
