Nonlinear Interactions and Spatial Heterogeneity of Ecosystem Service Transitions in an Ecologically Fragile Karst Region of Southwest China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We investigated the spatiotemporal evolution and driving mechanisms of ecosystem service value (ESV) in the ecologically fragile Miaoling karst region of Southwest China from 2000 to 2020. Our findings reveal that while vegetation restoration policies have enhanced ESV overall, spatial mismatches and ecological risks persist in mixed land‐use ...

Exploring the Effect of Energy Utilization Transition on Biodiversity: Evidence From the Poyang Lake Migratory Bird Nature Reserve

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 38, Issue 4, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As human development progresses, the conventional energy systems predominantly reliant on coal and oil have not only facilitated socioeconomic advancement but also imposed substantial ecological pressures on natural ecosystems. The over exploitation and utilization of conventional fossil fuels have exacerbated threats to biodiversity, thereby ...

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Regulatory Measures for the Use of Natural Ecological Space Based on the Remote Sensing‐Driven PLUS‐InVEST Model: A Case Study From the Central Mountainous Area of Hainan Island

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Unreasonable reclamation and construction activities have led to a decline in habitat quality and loss of biodiversity in tropical rainforest areas, especially in key biodiversity regions globally. In this study, the remote sensing data‐driven PLUS‐InVEST coupled model was used to evaluate and forecast the habitat quality and degree of degradation in ...

Sustained Green Manure‐Rice Rotations Can Mitigate Methane Emissions by Enhancing Microbial Methane Oxidation in Southern China

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Green manure (GM) enhances the ecological services in agricultural ecosystems, including soil health and carbon sequestration. However, its effect on regional methane (CH4) emissions from paddy fields is unclear. Here we clarify the impacts of GM rotation by combining process‐based modeling with microbial gene abundance information and ...

A Spatiotemporal Dataset of Soil Properties in Northeast China Based on Soil Sampling and Interpolation From 2009 to 2020

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 12, Issue 3, July 2025.
Leveraging soil testing data from Northeast China (2009–2020), this study innovatively employs spatiotemporal kriging interpolation to construct a high‐precision spatiotemporal soil dataset at 500 m resolution. Key trends in pH, SOM, TN and AK are revealed, supporting research in precision agriculture, soil conservation and ecological monitoring ...
