“…Analyzing the willingness of market participants for the trade of resources is an essential step in designing a PES of local forest resources [42]. This is because the successful establishment of a PES system depends on clearly defined market participants and the adequate motivation of each participant within the ES market [43][44][45]. Most importantly, the type of participants with a high WTP for the ESs should be predicted so that an active promotion is designed to meet their needs.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine a valid strategy for implementing payment for the local forest ecosystem services (local forest PES) by considering citizens’ willingness to pay (WTP) and the resource types utilized (taxes and donations). A total of 1000 citizens responded to an online survey, which consisted of questions related to respondents’ socio-demographics, predicting factors (i.e., political orientation, personal tie to the region) of their willingness to pay (WTP), and their willingness to pay for a bundle of 10 different forest ecosystem services (ESs) in the region of the Yeoninsan provincial park in Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The estimation of the respondents’ WTP for the promotion of the forest management activities, which enhances the ES bundle of the local forest, was 14,315–20,216 KRW (12.75–18.00 USD) per year in taxes and 12,258–26,518 KRW (10.92–23.61 USD) per year in donations. This study also revealed that the predicting factors influencing the respondents’ WTP for the promotion of the local forest ESs differed according to the financial resource type (taxes and donations). The results of this study are meaningful in that they can be used as empirical basic data in estimating payments and preparing measures to secure financial resources when designing payments for the ecosystem services for the local forest.

“…Regulation on construction land and mines can reduce the conflict and promote the long-term stability of the ESP. Additionally, limiting the uncontrolled growth of construction land will maximize urban ecosystem services [42]. Finally, delimit the three-level ecological restoration areas of Shuozhou City.…”

“…In summary, the role and significance of zoning an optimized ESP are to ensure the ecosystem services of ecological sources, limit the disruption of ecological connectivity by urban expansion and resource exploitation, and the decline and loss of ecosystem services [5,8,24]. Through the comprehensive optimization of points, lines, and planes (such as restoration of obstacles and ecological corridors, and protection of ecological sources), optimized ESP will improve ecological connectivity of the study area, promote regional ecosystem services, and maintain biodiversity by facilitating species migration across the whole area [1,9,42]. Based on ESP identified above, it is suggested to establish a framework of "one protection area, two regulation areas, and three restorations area" to optimize the ESP of the study area (Figure 9) [8].…”

Located in an ecologically fragile area in China’s eastern part of the Loess Plateau, Shuozhou City has faced environmental challenges imposed by frequent urban expansion and mining activities in recent years. As ecological security patterns (ESP) identification and optimization are significant to regional biodiversity and ecosystem services, this study combined morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) and circuit theory to construct and optimize regional ESP. Results show the number and area of ecological sources in the study area decreased from 21 to 20 between 2010 and 2017. The total area of ecological sources fell from 1923.35 km2 to 1869.37 km2, with their proportion in the study area dropped from 18.14% to 17.64%. From 2010 to 2017, the number of obstacles increases from 63 to 80, mainly consisting of farmland, unused land, transportation land, and construction land. The area of obstacles reached 10.17 km2 in 2017. A framework of “one protection area, two regulation areas, and three restoration areas” is proposed to optimize the ESP of the study zone. This study explored a combination of ESP analysis tools and focused on improving regional ecosystem service and biodiversity. It will support local urban planning and provide a reference for similar studies in resource-based cities.

“…Constrained by the concentration of a growing population in urban systems, in China, the construction of ESPs aims to enhance the supply of urban ecosystem services [23] by connecting important ecological areas (mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands, etc.) to ensure the integrity of the structure and function of the ecosystem, which are significant for national and regional ecological security [5].…”

Researchers and managers of natural resource conservation have increasingly emphasized the importance of maintaining a connected network of important ecological patches to mitigate landscape fragmentation, reduce the decline of biodiversity, and sustain ecological services. This research aimed to guide landscape management and decision-making by developing an evaluation framework to construct ecological security patterns. Taking the Jianghan Plain as the study area, we identified key ecological sources by overlaying the spatial patterns of ecological quality (biodiversity, carbon storage, and water yield) and ecological sensitivity (habitat sensitivity, soil erosion sensitivity, and water sensitivity) using the Integrated Valuation of Environmental Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model and the Chinese Soil Loss Equation Function. Ecological corridors were obtained by the least-cost path analysis method and circuit theory. A total of 48 ecological sources (3812.95 km2), primarily consisting of water area, forestland, and cropland, were identified. Ninety-one ecological corridors were derived, with a total length of 2036.28 km. Forty barriers and 40 pinch points with the highest improvement coefficient scores or priority scores were selected. There were 11 priority corridors with very high levels of connectivity improvement potential and conservation priority, occupying 16.15% of the total length of corridors. The overall potential for ecological connectivity is high on the Jianghan Plain. Our framework offers a valuable reference for constructing ecological security patterns and identifying sites for ecological restoration at the regional scale.
