“…Furthermore, in areas characterized by urbanization, industrialization, or dominant agricultural practices, LUCC plays a more significant role in influencing hydrological processes [8,[13][14][15][16]. Therefore, there is an urgent need to investigate the impacts of future LUCC and climate change on hydrology [17], providing valuable insights for water resource management authorities.…”

This study utilizes meteorological and leaf area index (LAI) data for three shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP1–2.6, SSP2–4.5, and SSP5–8.5) from four general circulation models (GCMs) of the sixth climate model intercomparison project (CMIP6) spanning from 2015 to 2099. Employing calibrated data and incorporating future land use data under three SSPs, the distributed hydrology soil vegetation model (DHSVM) is employed to simulate streamflow in the source region of the Yellow River (SRYR). The research aims to elucidate variations in streamflow across different future scenarios and to estimate extreme streamflow events and temporal distribution changes under future land use and cover change (LUCC) and climate change scenarios. The main conclusions are as follows: The grassland status in the SRYR will significantly improve from 2020 to 2099, with noticeable increases in temperature, precipitation, and longwave radiation, alongside a pronounced decrease in wind speed. The probability of flooding events increases in the future, although the magnitude of the increase diminishes over time. Both LUCC and climate change contribute to an increase in the multi-year average streamflow in the region, with respective increments of 48.8%, 24.5%, and 18.9% under SSP1–2.6, SSP2–4.5, and SSP5–8.5. Notably, the fluctuation in streamflow is most pronounced under SSP5–8.5. In SSP1–2.6, the increase in streamflow during the near future (2020–2059) exceeds that of the distant future (2059–2099). Seasonal variations in streamflow intensify across most scenarios, leading to a more uneven distribution of streamflow throughout the year and an extension of the flood season.

Identifying and evaluating the ecological security pattern (ESP) of region can provide a solid foundation for optimizing regional ecosystem elements and improving regional ecological security. The PLUS model, InVEST model, and circuit theory were used to analyze the ecosystem services and ESP of the Shanxi section of the Yellow River Basin (SYRB) between 2005 and 2035. The findings revealed that 1) The total area of land use shift across categories between 2005 and 2020 was 6,080.99 km2, or 5.22% of the SYRB’s total area. Under the natural development scenario, the total land transfer area from 2020 to 2035 was predicted to be 4,605.10 km2. Among these, the tendency for construction and forest land was expanding, while the tendency for cultivated land, grassland, water area, and unused land was shrinking; 2) From 2005 to 2035, the SYRB’s water yield and soil conservation all decreased, while the habitat quality and carbon storage showed a declining tendency; 3) The ecological source increased from 35,767.00 km2 in 2005 to 39,931.00 km2 in 2035; the total length of the ecological corridors expanded from 2,792.24 km to 3,553.18 km between 2005 and 2035; the ecological pinch points increased from 27 in 2005 to 40 in 2035; the ecological barrier points increased from 21 in 2005 to 28 in 2035, which show that the ESP remained unstable; 4) According to the ecosystem service characteristics of the SYRB in 2020, an ESP of “one axis, two zones, four corridors, and multiple points” was constructed. This study could provide useful guidance for improving the spatial pattern of land use and maintaining ecosystem services.
