Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

Measuring and Mapping the Impact of Land Use and Land Cover Change on the Hydropower Production——A Case Study of Jiulong River in Fujian Province [PDF]
水电是全球利用最广泛的可更新能源,其生产能力对土地利用/覆被的变化非常敏感。研究土地利用/覆被变化与流域水电生产的数量、价值及其空间分布的关系是流域水资源规划和管理的基础。本论文应用InVEST模型评估九龙江流域土地利用/覆被变化对水电生产数量及其价值的影响。结果表明:2000~2010年间,九龙江流域内,土地利用/覆被主要由蒸散量较大的耕地和林地转化为蒸散量较小的建设用地,产水量增加了0.66%。但由于耕地和建设用地的耗水量较其他土地利用/覆被类型大,水电生产的供水量却降低了8.46 ...

Summary Seagrasses are important contributors to environmental nutrient cycling in marine ecosystems and can improve water quality by absorbing excess nitrogen (N). However, these ecosystems are vulnerable to human‐mediated pressures, including marine heatwaves (MHWs), particularly those of longer duration. We performed an experiment simulating a 30‐d,

为了解生态系统服务供需匹配、供需时空变化趋势及其影响因素。以山西省产水服务为切入点,基于1990年、2000年、2010年和2020年自然地理和社会统计数据,利用地理统计分析和InVEST模型,分析其供需时空变化特征。结果表明:(1)在产水服务供需时空格局方面,山西省产水服务供给与需求总量在30年呈增加趋势。山西东南地区(晋中市、长治市、晋城市)是主要的产水服务供给区;而产水服务需求较大的地区主要为太原、大同、长治和阳泉市区。(2)在产水服务供需匹配方面,1990 ...

China's Eco‐Civilisation, Climate Leviathan, and Hobbesian Energy Transition
Abstract Scholars have hitherto tended to theorise China's ecological civilisation project either as a form of environmental authoritarianism or as a vision of eco‐socialism. This paper contributes to the conversation by conducting a textual analysis of Chinese scholarly discussions on eco‐civilisation.

The need for carbon finance schemes to tackle overexploitation of tropical forest wildlife
Abstract Defaunation of tropical forests, particularly from unsustainable hunting, has diminished populations of key seed dispersers for many tree species, driving shifts in forest community composition toward small‐fruited or wind‐dispersed trees with low wood density. Such shifts can reduce aboveground biomass, prompting calls for overexploitation to

Servicesheds connect people to the landscapes upon which they depend
Abstract Ecosystem services (ES) are benefits people receive from nature. To sustain these benefits, we need to spatially connect communities benefitting from specific ES with landscape features that generate the ES. A variety of process‐based models support ES assessments by estimating the biophysical supply of ES that comes from landscapes.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phosphorus (P) acquisition strategy is considered to be an intrinsic driver behind plant succession. However, variations in plant P acquisition strategies in connection to soil P fraction changes after wetland drainage remain unclear.

Abstract Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) are key ecosystem management tools for conserving biodiversity and sustaining ecosystem services and social cobenefits. As countries adopt a 30% target for protection of land and sea under the Global Biodiversity Framework of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, a critical question ...
