In response to ecosystem degradation from rapid economic development, China began investing heavily in protecting and restoring natural capital starting 2000. We report on China's first national assessment (2000-2010), designed quantify help manage change services, including food production, carbon sequestration, soil retention, sandstorm prevention, water flood mitigation, provision of habitat for biodiversity. Overall, services improved 2000 2010, apart provision. conservation policies...

Recent expansion of the scale human activities poses severe threats to Earth's life-support systems. Increasingly, protected areas (PAs) are expected serve dual goals: protect biodiversity and secure ecosystem services. We report a nationwide assessment for China, quantifying provision threatened species habitat four key regulating services-water retention, soil sandstorm prevention, carbon sequestration-in nature reserves (the primary category PAs in China). find that China's moderately...

Gross domestic product (GDP) summarizes a vast amount of economic information in single monetary metric that is widely used by decision makers around the world. However, GDP fails to capture fully contributions nature activity and human well-being. To address this critical omission, we develop measure gross ecosystem (GEP) value services metric. We illustrate measurement GEP through an application Chinese province Qinghai, showing approach tractable using available data. Known as “water...

Abstract Globally, rising food demand has caused widespread biodiversity and ecosystem services loss, prompting growing efforts in ecological protection restoration. However, these have been significantly undercut by further reclamation for cropland. Focusing on China, the world’s largest grain producer, we found that at national level from 2000 to 2015, cropland undermined gains wildlife habitat of water retention, sandstorm prevention, carbon sequestration soil retention 113.8%, 63.4%,...

To counter their widespread loss, global aspirations are for no net loss of remaining wetlands [1Conservation FoundationProtecting America's Wetlands: An Action Agenda: The Final Report the National Wetlands Policy Forum. Conservation Foundation, 1988Google Scholar]. We examine whether this goal alone is sufficient managing China's wetlands, they constitute 10% world's total. Analyzing wetland changes between 2000 and 2015 using 30-m-resolution satellite images, we show that expanded by...

Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region of the People’s Republic China, has experienced severe soil erosion following a period rapid economic development and urbanization. To investigate how urbanization influenced extent in we used data from 2000 through 2010 to determine relationship between patterns. Two empirical equations—the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) Wind Erosion (RWEQ)—were estimate intensity erosion, performed backward linear regression model it changed with greater...

Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP) is an aggregate measure of the monetary value final ecosystem services, or direct benefits that people derive from nature. In this study, we focus on 'Chang-Zhu-Tan' (CZT) urban agglomeration—an emerging megacity over 15 million situated Yangtze River—as a case study dynamics ecological production amidst rapid urbanization. couple spatial-temporal analysis regional change based remote-sensing data with economic valuation methods (e.g. travel cost method) using...

ABSTRACT Population viability of the giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca ) is threatened by small population sizes in scattered isolated habitat areas. Designing a conservation plan for protecting and connecting fragmented will improve chances survival this endangered species. For such plan, study assessed overall suitability species Qionglai mountain range (Sichuan, China) using Landsat TM imagery acquired 2001, geographical data, field surveys, information previous researches. Results...

The tradeoffs and synergies of ecosystem services are widely discussed recognized. However, explicit information for understanding managing the complex relationships multiple at regional scales is still lacking, which often leads to degradation important due one service being enhanced over another. We assessed biodiversity production nine ESs (ecosystem services) across 779 counties in Yangtze River Basin, largest basin China. Then, we mapped distribution ES each county used correlations...

The significance of biodiversity and ecosystem services are gradually recognized by human as an approach towards sustainability, so it is important to understand relationships congruence between them support conservation planning, especially in the hotspot areas with a prominent role conservation. However, management most hotspots mainly focused on biodiversity, rarely concerned services. With aim proposing criteria for strategies that contribute optimization services, this study, Geographic...
