In this study, we analyzed microbial community composition and the functional capacities of degraded sites and restored/natural sites in two typical wetlands of Northeast China—the Phragmites marsh and the Carex marsh, respectively. The degradation of these wetlands, caused by grazing or land drainage for irrigation, alters microbial community components and functional structures, in addition to changing the aboveground vegetation and soil geochemical properties. Bacterial and fungal diversity at the degraded sites were significantly lower than those at restored/natural sites, indicating that soil microbial groups were sensitive to disturbances in wetland ecosystems. Further, a combined analysis using high-throughput sequencing and GeoChip arrays showed that the abundance of carbon fixation and degradation, and ~95% genes involved in nitrogen cycling were increased in abundance at grazed Phragmites sites, likely due to the stimulating impact of urine and dung deposition. In contrast, the abundance of genes involved in methane cycling was significantly increased in restored wetlands. Particularly, we found that microbial composition and activity gradually shifts according to the hierarchical marsh sites. Altogether, this study demonstrated that microbial communities as a whole could respond to wetland changes and revealed the functional potential of microbes in regulating biogeochemical cycles.

“… Zhang et al (2017) used the coupling coordination model to evaluate the coordination degree of LUCC and ESV in Beijing from 2006 to 2015. These models can accurately simulate the dynamic changes of ES such as carbon storage, water and soil conservation, and cultural services in terrestrial ecosystems according to the spatial and temporal changes of LULC ( Leh et al, 2013 ; Zhou et al, 2020 ; Wen & Théau, 2020 ). Due to the large amount of data and diverse types of data needed for ESF assessment models, the difficulty of data acquisition limits the application of these models in arid areas ( Zhang, Yushanjiang & Jing, 2018 ).…”

“…In fact, cropland with different crop growing structures provides different ecosystem services functions (Zheng, Zhang & Cao, 2018). In a recent study, a series of ES evaluation models were used to reveal the relationship between land use structure and ecosystem, including InVEST (Ouyang et al, 2016), SolVES (Sherrouse, Semmens & Clement, 2014;Zhou et al, 2020), and Coupling Coordination Model (Sun et al, 2019). For example, Ouyang et al (2016) quantitatively evaluated the types of ESV in China based on the InVEST model and LUCC, revealing the imbalance between supply and demand.…”

“…Talberth (2015) divided the evaluation methods into four categories, including stated preference method, revealed preference method, cost-based method and benefit transfer method (BTM). A series of models have also been developed to accurately evaluate ESV, including Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST) ( Redhead et al, 2016 ), Social Values for Ecosystem Services (SolVES) ( Sherrouse, Semmens & Clement, 2014 ; Zhou et al, 2020 ), and so on ( Sun et al, 2019 ). In regional or global ESV assessment, BTM is simple and easy to operate and has been widely used.…”

Rapid agricultural land expansion and urbanization have accelerated land use and land cover changes (LUCC) in the Northern Tianshan Mountain Economic Zone and have significantly impacted on the ecosystem services (ESs). However, the spatiotemporal variations of ecosystem service value (ESV) to LUCC are not well understood. Based on the land use and land cover (LULC) data from 1980 to 2019, we used a CA-Markov model to predict LUCC in 2020 and 2030, assess the spatial-temporal changes of ESV and LULC during 1980–2030, and explore the elastic response of ESV to LUCC. We found that cropland and built-up land expanded rapidly by 34.38% and 196.66%, respectively between 1980 and 2030, while grassland and unutilized land decreased significantly by 11.45% and 10.26%, respectively. The ESV of water body, cropland, grassland and forestland accounts for more than 90% of the total ESV. Our research shows that the ESV of cropland increased 32 million yuan from 1980 to 2030, mainly due to the expansion of cropland area. However, the loss caused by the reduction of grassland area was 45 million yuan. Water conservation, waste treatment, soil formation and retention, and biodiversity conservation are the primary ecosystem service function, accounting for 71.82% of the total ESV. Despite notable increases in the ESV from 1980 to 2010, grassland degradation still remains a main ecological and environmental issue from 2010 to 2030. The results suggest that effective land use policies should be developed to control the expansion of croplands and protect water body, grassland and forestland to maintain more sustainable ESs.

“…If the wetland vegetation is conserved and allowed to regenerate, inherent functions such as hydrological buffers and provision of food, water, construction materials and grazing areas will benefit the local people in the area. In addition, wetlands' aesthetic value will provide opportunities for nature-based tourism and conservation of the local cultures (Sanna and Eja, 2017;Zhou et al, 2020).…”

Soil seed banks are important for regeneration of degraded wetlands ecosystems. The Sudd wetlands of Juba city have long been encroached for crop cultivation. Seedling germination was monitored in a greenhouse to establish possible natural regeneration in Mindiari, Rejaf and Roton wetlands in the Sudd. Sixty-four species germinated from the soil seed bank of which 12.5% were dominated by Cyperus difformis and Typha capensis. The findings showed that median wetland species richness in Mindiari was 1.5 (interquartile range = 0.75?3.5), Rejaf 2.5 (interquartile range = 1.0 ? 4.0), Roton 3 (interquartile range = 1.0 ? 5.0) while median Shannon-Wiener diversity was 1.5 (1.14 ?1.73), 1.43 (1.01?1.66), 1.15 (0.98?1.67) for Mindiari, Rejaf and Roton respectively. Both the median seed species richness and diversity were not significantly different among the study wetlands. The median of seed density (56.1) was significantly higher in Roton than in Mindiari (36.7) and Rejaf (29.4) wetlands. The NMDS results showed that species composition of Mindiari and Rejaf was different from Roton. It is concluded that growing crops in wetlands did not influence species richness and diversity but it reduced seed density and altered species composition. Although wetland species were not significantly different in the three-wetland categories, dominance of canopy species belonging to Typhaceae and Cyperaceae indicates that these species are resilient to cultivation and could facilitate natural regeneration of cultivated wetlands edges of the Sudd region in Juba. Further research should examine effect of cultivation duration and flooding regimes on soil seed bank species richness, diversity, and density and composition.
