We analyzed the spatial-temporal variation of ecosystem services in Three-River Headwaters (TRH) region from 1990 to 2015 and their tradeoffs/synergies at county-scale grid-scale by using service value model, correlation coefficient bivariate spatial autocorrelation analysis. The results showed that: (i) From 2015, (ESV) TRH an upward trend, increase 60.681 billion yuan 126.967 187.648 2015. Moreover, dynamic degree was 6.59%.

Limited mapping of migrations hampers conservation
Abstract Investigations of the links between human infrastructure and ecological change have provided eye-opening insights into humanity's environmental impacts contributed to global policies. Fences are globally ubiquitous, yet they often omitted from discussions anthropogenic impacts. In present article, we address this gap through a systematic literature review on effects fences. Our overview provides five major takeaways: 1) an operational definition fencing structure future research, 2)...
Abstract As human activities expand globally, there is a growing need to identify and mitigate barriers animal movements. Fencing pervasive modification of the landscape that can impede movements wide‐ranging animals. Previous research has largely focused on whether fences block altogether, but more nuanced understanding animals' behavioural responses may be critical for examining ecological consequences prioritizing conservation interventions. We developed spatial‐ temporal‐explicit...
Abstract Migratory ungulates are thought to be declining globally because their dependence on large landscapes renders them highly vulnerable environmental change. Yet recent studies reveal that many ungulate species can adjust migration propensity in response changing conditions potentially improve population persistence. In addition the question of whether migrate, decisions where and when migrate appear equally fundamental individual tactics, but these three dimensions plasticity have...
Sand mining, which has tripled in the last two decades, is an emerging concern for global biodiversity. However, paucity of sand mining data worldwide prevents understanding extent impacts and how it affects wildlife populations ecosystems, critical timely mitigation conservation actions. Integrating remote sensing field surveys over 14 years, we investigated on critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise ( Neophocaena asiaeorientalis ) Dongting Lake, China. We found that presented a...
Abstract Wildlife translocations are increasingly used to combat declining biodiversity worldwide. Successful translocation often hinges on coexistence between humans and wildlife, yet not all efforts explicitly include human dimensions (e.g., economic incentives, education programs, conflict reduction assistance). To evaluate the prevalence associated outcomes of including as objectives when planning translocations, we analyze 305 case studies from IUCN’s Global Re-Introduction Perspectives...
The presence of livestock inside protected areas, or “livestock encroachment,” is a global conservation concern because broadly thought to negatively affect wildlife. Maasai Mara National Reserve (MMNR), Kenya, exemplifies this tension as believed have resulted in the declining wildlife populations, contributing strict and sometimes violent exclusion measures targeting pastoralists. However, research embedded real-world setting that draws insights from social–ecological contexts lacking. In...
Abstract Fences have recently been recognized as one of the most prominent linear infrastructures on earth. As animals traverse fenced landscapes, they adjust movement behaviours to optimize resource access while minimizing energetic costs coping with fences. Examining individual responses is key for connecting localized fence effects population dynamics. We investigated multi‐scale fencing animal movements, space use and survival 61 pronghorn 96 mule deer a gradient density in Wyoming, USA....
Abstract Human–wildlife interactions are increasing in severity due to climate change and proliferating urbanization. Regions where human infrastructure activity rapidly densifying or newly appearing constitute novel environments which wildlife must learn coexist with people, thereby serving as ideal case studies infer future human–wildlife shared landscapes. As a widely reviled behaviorally plastic apex predator, the spotted hyena ( Crocuta crocuta ) is model species for understanding how...
Abstract Our knowledge of migration ecology has progressed quickly in concert with technological advances that collect fine‐scale movement data through time. We now know plays a critical role the annual nutritional cycle large herbivores and sustaining functional migratory routes is key to long‐term conservation. Yet, we lack basic information on whether one route may function better than another, or more specifically, if choosing over another fitness consequences – could help inform...
Formally protected areas are an important component of wildlife conservation, but face limitations in their effectiveness for migratory species. Improved stewardship working lands around is one solution conservation planning, private vulnerable to development. In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), ungulates such as elk (Cervus canadensis) use both and throughout annual migrations. We studied patterns landownership, protection, challenges within ranges GYE. used GPS data from 1088 26...
The ecological health of Hebei Province is critical to the sustainable development Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region. However, increasing intensity land use in recent years has placed significant pressure on local ecosystems, making it essential understand how changes affect resilience across different regions and time periods. This study takes as research area selects four points—1990, 2000, 2010, 2020—to systematically evaluate spatiotemporal variations using indicators such water resource...
Wildlife crossings are designed to mitigate barrier effects of transportation infrastructure on wildlife movement. Most efforts in evaluating crossing efficiency focus counting animal use. However, placed at suboptimal locations may alter animals' natural movement pattern and decrease population fitness, which cannot be reflected solely by counts The long-distance migration Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) is directly affected the Qinghai-Tibet Railway (QTR). Using Wubei underpass...
Although courts have incorporated statistical hypothesis testing into their evaluation of numerical evidence in a variety cases, they primarily focused on one aspect analysis: whether or not the result is 'statistically significant' at 0.05 'two-standard deviation' level. The theory underlying also concerned with power test to detect meaningful difference. This article shows that using insights provided by calculations should assist better interpret and evaluate analyses submitted evidence....
Abstract Global declines in wildlife migrations have prompted new initiatives to conserve remaining migratory behaviors. However, many already been lost. Important attempts made recover extirpated migrations, and our understanding of restoration remains narrowly confined these particular species landscapes. Here, we examine diverse efforts through the unifying lens behavioral ecology draw broader inferences regarding feasibility effectiveness restoring lost migrations. First, synthesize...
In theory, "aquifer storage and recovery" (ASR) is a form of artificial aquifer recharge consisting threecomponents: (1) injections fluids; (2) withdrawals the injected (3) period timebetween that considered to be "storage" fluids. Theinjected fluids may be: treated sewage effluent (also known as reclaimed, reuse, or bright water); (2)stormwater runoff pumped out canals, mine pits other areas; surface waters from natural lakes andstreams; (4) ground water different zones. An evaluation...
The regional Floridan aquifer system (FAS) extends from the submerged carbonate platform of Atlantic Ocean, Gulf Mexico, and Straits Florida in southeastern United States (US), throughout coastal plain Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina. This is characterized by bedding planes, fractures, dissolution cavities, other karst features that result preferential flow ground water, particularly response to anthropogenic perturbations such as groundwater withdrawals injections. FAS was divided into six...
Our case study analyzed the proximity of previously mapped fractures in aquifer matrix to 93 Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) dens from 2007-2016 south Florida. Dens occurred five counties (Collier = 77, Dade 1, Hendry 9, Lee 5, and Monroe 1) three sub-basins Greater Everglades Basin (Big Cypress Swamp 83, Caloosahatchee 3, 7). Fractured aquifers occur worldwide, but are not focus habitat suitability studies, despite evidence that influence plant species composition density. Habitat...
