Description
Weisi Ma, Zhiwei Zhao, Jinshuo Zhang, and Mengyao Xun map, in 2026, how ecosystem services in the Yellow River Basin trade off against or reinforce each other. Managing land well requires knowing these interactions and their drivers, yet past work often ignored service pairs with no effect and the role of two-way land change.
Using the InVEST model and spatial methods, the team tracked carbon storage, soil retention, water yield, food production, habitat quality, and landscape aesthetics from 2003 to 2023. Changes from land cover transitions were quantified and drivers analysed with attention to spatial variation. Basin managers gain a twenty-year interaction map for one of China's great river systems.
