“…Wang et al (2015) quantified the multiple ecosystem services in the Sanjiang Plain of China and concluded that the significant loss of ecosystem carbon stocks and natural habitats with grown food production was due to the extensive land conversion from natural wetlands to cultivated land. Similarly, Haines-Yong et al (2012) confirmed a trade-off between the provisioning services ("crop-based production") and regulating services ("habitat diver-sity").…”

“…While, as humans play a critical role in managing the agroecosystem, political practices, socioeconomic incentives and technological progresses are likely to influence the quantity and quality of ecosystem services, which will further affect the direction of trade-offs (Nelson et al, 2009). Compared to the results of the research conducted by Wang et al (2015), the study in the Loess Plateau of China by Lü et al (2012) showed an opposite result, indicating synergy between food production and ecosystem carbon stocks with the conversions from farmland to woodland and grassland, which can be contributed to agricultural technological growth, improvement of agricultural management and production efficiency (Lü et al, 2012). Nelson et al (2009) also identified that policy interventions could modify the negative trade-offs between commodity production and other ecosystem services and also biodiversity conversions.…”

Ecosystem services are substantial elements for human society. The central challenge to meet the human needs from ecosystems while sustain the Earth's life support systems makes it urgent to enhance efficient natural resource management for sustainable ecological and socioeconomic development. Trade-off analysis of ecosystem services can help to identify optimal decision points to balance the costs and benefits of the diverse human uses of ecosystems. In this sense, the aim of this paper is to provide key insights into ecosystem services trade-off analysis at different scales from a land use perspective, by comprehensively reviewing the trade-offs analysis tools and approaches that addressed in ecology, economics and other fields. The review will significantly contribute to future research on trade-off analysis to avoid inferior management options and offer a win-win solution based on comprehensive and efficient planning for interacting multiple ecosystem services.

“…Studies about the impact of LCC on ES have been carried out all over the world Feger et al 2015;Wang et al 2015). For Africa, these studies are rare, possibly due to the lack of data (Leh et al 2013;Abram et al 2014;Dawson and Martin 2015;Kindu et al 2016;Wangai et al 2016).…”

The incorporation of ecosystem services (ES) information in planning decisions is an important factor in the sustainable use of natural resources. However, studies assessing the levels and changes of these services at national level are rare. In this paper, we estimate past and future changes in multiple ES and biodiversity, as a consequence of land cover change (LCC) in Mozambique. Water yield, water quality, erosion regulation, climate regulation, and biodiversity were modeled using a spatially explicit approach. Changes in ES and biodiversity were mapped at province level between 2005 and 2009. Through the use of a land change model, land cover was projected for 2025, and the resulting impacts on ES and biodiversity were estimated. We found a moderate increase in climate regulating service between 2005 and 2009. However, water quality (nutrient retention) and biodiversity decreased. LCC for 2025 is expected to have a similar impact on these ES. This study contributes with a methodology that can be useful for monitoring ES and assist decision policies affecting ES provision and trade-offs. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…The elevation coverage was produced by using the "Reclassify" option in ArcGIS10.0 to classify the DEM into five categories: <100 m, 100-200 m, 200-400 m, 400-600 m and >600 m. Land cover data from 2012 were derived from Wang et al [30]. The overall classification accuracy for the land cover map in 2012 was 92.5% (assessed by 2436 field samples).…”

Abstract:Global biodiversity is markedly decreasing in response to climate change and human disturbance. Sanjiang Plain is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot in China due to its high forest and wetland coverage, but species are being lost at an unprecedented rate, induced by anthropogenic activities. Identifying hotspot distributions and conservation gaps of threatened species is of particular significance for enhancing the conservation of biodiversity. Specifically, we integrated the principles and methods of spatial hotspot inspection, geographic information system (GIS) technology and spatial autocorrelation analysis along with fieldwork to determine the spatial distribution patterns and unprotected hotspots of vulnerable and endangered plants in Sanjiang Plain. A gap analysis of the conservation status of vulnerable and endangered plants was conducted. Our results indicate that six nationally-protected plants were not observed in nature reserves or were without any protection, while the protection rates were <10% for 10 other nationally-protected plants. Protected areas (PAs) cover <5% of the distribution areas for 31 threatened plant species, while only five species are covered by national nature reserves (NNRs) within >50% of the distribution areas. We found 30 hotspots with vulnerable and endangered plants in the study area, but the area covered by NNRs is very limited. Most of the hotspots were located in areas with a high-high aggregation of plant species. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the area of existing nature reserves, establish miniature protection plots and create new PAs and ecological corridors to link the existing PAs. Our findings can contribute to the design of a PA network for botanical conservation.
