“…The resent paradigm of ESPs construction has evolved into identify ecological sources,establish resistance surfaces,and extract corridors in theory,in condition that carrying capacity of resources, environment, and suitability of land development. This study has integrated future land use to ecological sources identification and resistance surface construction to reflect the continuous effect of natural and anthropogenic factors on the landscape and provide the potential ecological pathways for improving the self-regulation and ecosystem resilience.The China Central Government have issued an document in Oct. 2021,titled "Outline of the Yellow River Basin's Ecological Protection and High-quality Development Plan",It steadily implemented the strategy for formulating a green way of production and living according to use Yellow River water as its capacity permits,and had be done to simulate land cover changes (Lou et al,2022), calculate resource environmental carrying capacity and land spatial development suitability (Chen &Wang,2023),assessment landscape ecological risk (Du et al,2023),evaluate vegetation restoration (Wang et al,2022), identify ecological network (Men&Pan.,2023),optimize urban growth boundary for the entire area. The urban agglomerations along the YRB in Ningxia is locate in the Upper YRB and Jiziwan Metropolitan Area of the YRB,which is combine ecological fragile and nature resource enrichment,and must be trade-off the conflict between ecological protection and human-being (Wei et al,2022).…”

Land use change can often threaten ecological space and cause enormous impacts on the ecosystem sustainability, and ecological security patterns (ESPs) had been received more attention in spatial planing. Thus,this paper simulated land use change in future under four development scenarios for the urban agglomerations along the Yellow River Basin(YRB) in Ningxia, identified the ESPs,and assessed the stability of network connectivity for each scenario.The result showed that areas of ecological sources in 2035 under the natural development scenario(NDS),economic development scenario(EDS),food security scenario(FSS),and ecological protection scenario(EPS) are 834.82km2,715.46km2,785.56km2,and 1091.43km2,and the values of overall connectivity（OG）are 0.351,0.466,0.334,0.520,respectively.Under the EPS,the construction of ESPs will have the biggest ecological land use and the best network structure,not only can effectively protect natural ecological,but also reduce the cost of construction in reality.This study provides a valuable reference for diversity and uncertainty of future development,and helps decision-makers management different scales and development scenarios to improve the ecological level of the study area.

Land use change often has enormous impacts on ecosystem sustainability, and ecological security pattern (ESP) can improve ecological quality through spatial planning. Thus, this study explored a multi-scenario ESPs framework by coupling future land use simulation (FLUS) and minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) for urban agglomerations along the Yellow River Basin in Ningxia, simulated land use change in 2035 under four development scenarios, identified ecological security networks, and assessed the stability of network connectivity in each scenario. The results showed that the areas of ecological sources under the natural development scenario (NDS), economic development scenario (EDS), food security scenario (FSS), and ecological protection scenario (EPS) were 834.82 km2, 715.46 km2, 785.56 km2, and 1091.43 km2, respectively. The overall connectivity (OG) values were 0.351, 0.466, 0.334, and 0.520, respectively. Under the EPS, the construction of ESPs has the largest area of ecological land use and the most stable network structure, which can not only effectively protect natural habitats but also reduce the cost of construction in reality. This study provides a valuable method for identifying ESPs that can respond to diversity and uncertainty for future development and can help decision makers improve the ecological quality of the study area considering different scales and development scenarios.

“…To support our research, we conducted field studies on the ecological characteristics of the Qilian Mountains and conducted a comprehensive review of the relevant literature on ecosystem assessment [46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. We carefully considered data accessibility and the feasibility of calculation methods during the selection process, resulting in the identification of nine important ES for our study ( (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018).…”

Significant heterogeneity has been observed among different ecosystem services (ES). Understanding the trade-offs and synergies among ES and delineating ecological functional zones is crucial for formulating regional management policies that improve human well-being and sustainably develop and maintain ecosystems. In this study, we used the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST) and Carnegie–Ames–Stanford Approach (CASA) models to evaluate the spatial distribution patterns of nine ES (food supply, raw material supply, water resource supply, water connotation, climate regulation, soil conservation, water purification, habitat quality, and entertainment tourism) in the Qilian Mountains from 2000 to 2018. We also investigated the trade-offs and synergistic relationships among ES through Spearman correlation analysis, identified ES hotspots through exploratory spatial data analysis, and identified ES bundles (ESB) using K-means clustering. Our results revealed that water purification and habitat quality remained relatively stable, while food supply, raw material supply, water resource supply, water conservation, climate regulation, soil conservation, and entertainment tourism increased by 1038.83 Yuan·ha−1, 448.21 Yuan·ha−1, 55.45 mm, 7.80 mm, 0.60 tc·ha−1, 40.01 t·ha−1 and 4.82, respectively. High-value areas for water resource supply were mainly concentrated in the high-altitude mountainous area, whereas high-value areas for soil conservation were found in the western and eastern parts of the study area. The low-value areas of water purification were primarily located in the east, while the remaining six services were highly distributed in the east and were less common in the west. Correlation analysis showed that water resource supply, water conservation, and soil conservation exhibited a synergistic relationship in the Qilian Mountains. Moreover, food supply, raw material supply, climate regulation, habitat quality, and entertainment tourism showed synergistic relationships. However, there were trade-offs between food supply and water purification as well as water resource supply, and habitat quality showed a tradeoff with water resource supply, water conservation, and soil conservation. We identified four ESB. The food supply bundle consisted mainly of farmland ecosystems, while the windbreak and sand fixation and ecological coordination bundles were dominant in the Qilian Mountains. Notably, the area of the water conservation bundle increased significantly. Our comprehensive findings on ES and ESB can provide a theoretical foundation for the formulation of ecological management policies and the sustainable development of ecosystems in the Qilian Mountains.
