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...
Changes in global climate patterns and human activity have the potential to alter key components of terrestrial ecosystems, such as productivity grasslands. The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau is one most sensitive regions affected by substantial climatic changes intensive activities. In this study, spatial distribution temporal variation grassland from 1980 2015 were examined using proxy net primary (NPP). Trend redundancy analyses used determine contributions driving indicators (climate change...
Yancheng coastal wetland, as an important part of the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, provided habitat for more than 200 migratory waterbirds by rest and over-winter. After it was listed a “World Heritage List” in 2019, protection waterfowl wetland has attracted extensive attention from international community. As indicator species ecosystem health, have practical significance wetlands. Due to long-term impact human activities, waterbird habitats are facing threat fragmentation lose, posing...
To explore how traditional knowledge acts in the soil and water conservation mountain agricultural systems, this study selects Shexian Dryland Stone Terraced System (SDSTS) as area employs social-ecological system (SES) framework ecosystem service (ES) evaluation methods a joint way. Results of action mechanism analysis show that local farmers, main actors, fully utilize variety knowledge, which constitutes set situations at both field landscape scales. This has not only improved capacity...
Since the industrial revolution, human activities have both expanded and intensified across globe resulting in accelerated land use change. Land change driven by China's development has put pressure on limited arable resources, which affected grain production. Competing interests are a potential threat to food security China. Therefore, studying changes is critical for ensuring future maintaining sustainable of land. Based data from several major sources, we analyzed spatio-temporal...
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...
Arsenic, a ubiquitous presence in the biosphere, often occurs from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Bacterial biosensors based on genetically engineered bacteria have promising applications detecting chemical compound its toxicity. However, most of take advantage existing wild-type substrate-induced promoters, which are low specificity, affinity sensitivity, thus limiting their commercial or field use. In this study, we developed an vivo evolution procedure with bidirectional...
Knowledge of the distribution patterns soil organic carbon (SOC) and factors that influence these is crucial for understanding cycle. The objectives this study were to determine spatial pattern density (SOCD) controlling in arid desert grasslands northwest China. above- belowground biomass SOCD 260 profiles from 52 sites over 2.7×104 km2 investigated. Combined with a satellite-based dataset an enhanced vegetation index during 2011–2012 climatic at different sites, relationships between...
Abstract Ecological degradation impedes sustainable development in Southwest China, and artificial afforestation has been a key strategy of the Government China to effectively curb it. However, water consumed by large-scale huge impact on supply which also arise new challenge causing severe drought here recently. In order determine region, this study conducts spatiotemporal, abrupt change, correlation regression analyses. Results show that although resources fluctuate, they exhibit general...
The pressing need to address climate change and advance global sustainable development has heightened the emphasis on ecosystem services, especially carbon sequestration. This research assesses supply demand dynamics of sequestration services Hainan Island, China, highlighting its significant contributions biodiversity conservation balance. analysis considers spatial distribution interrelation these in light recent land use ecological policy changes. methodology incorporates cover data,...
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...
Island ecosystems are vulnerable and require sustainable development. However, development of island should be based on an accurate evaluation. In this paper, principal component analysis (PCA) was adopted to construct a framework for the evaluation ecosystems, followed by design strategies. The Zhoushan Archipelago in China used as case study. First, 15 typical ecosystem indices were selected represent five dimensions: climatic, geographical, landscape, social, biological. According scores...
Abstract Water shortage is a core problem that has hindered sustainable development worldwide. The Tibetan Plateau feeds ten main rivers on which almost 20% of the world’s population depends. However, plateau suffered serious environmental deterioration from global warming. Since 1980s, Chinese government supported ecological restoration in Plateau, mainly by promoting large-scale afforestation and grassland conservation. To identify impact change policy plateau, we used geographic...
