Multiscenario Land Use Change Simulation and Its Impact on Ecosystem Service Function in Henan Province Based on FLUS‐InVEST Model

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
The InVEST model was used to calculate the ecosystem service functions of the four modules of water yield, carbon storage, HQ, and nutrient delivery ratio, and to construct a comprehensive index of ES (CES) in Henan Province from 2000 to 2050. Finally, the temporal and spatial changes of various ecosystem service functions and CES were analyzed ...

Scenario-based assessment of land-use change and urban carbon storage: spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers in Beijing, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
Understanding how land-use change reshapes terrestrial carbon storage (CS) is important for China’s dual-carbon goals in rapidly urbanizing regions. Taking Beijing as a megacity case, we integrated GIS-based land-use analysis with the InVEST CS module to

Land Use and Ecosystem Service Value Spatiotemporal Dynamics, Topographic Gradient Effect and Their Driving Factors in Typical Alpine Ecosystems of the East Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau: Implications for Conservation and Development

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Ecosystem service values (ESV) are a significant measure for assessing the quality of regional ecological environments. Consequently, we analyzed the spatiotemporal dynamics and topographic gradient effect of ESV in the region from 1980 to 2020, employing methodologies such as the ESV assessment model, topographic gradient classification, and ...

Study on the Spatiotemporal Changes and Driving Factors of Habitat Quality in the Yarlung Zangbo River From 2000 to 2020

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
This study uses land use data from 2000 to 2020 and employs ArcGIS 10.8 and InVEST to construct the spatiotemporal patterns of habitat quality in the YLZB. Furthermore, methods such as optimal parameter geographic detectors, partial least squares structural equation model (PLS‐SEM), and correlation analysis are used to quantify the direct and indirect ...
