Summary: The study shows that land use and climate change have fluctuating effects on ecosystem services in Karst mountains. Climate change has a greater influence on ecosystem services, while land use change mainly affects soil retention and other services. The combined effect is dominated by trade-offs for grain production and synergistic effects for other ecosystem services.

Summary: This study used a model to simulate land use changes in Inner Mongolia and investigated the impacts of vegetation recovery and the grain for grass program on ecosystem services. The results showed that vegetation recovery increased some ecosystem services, while the grain for grass program came at the expense of other services.

Summary: This study on Guangxi province compared multiple intelligent classification algorithms for land cover and found that forests are the most important land use type in the region. The study also revealed a decreasing trend in ecosystem service value in Guangxi, with wetlands and forests decreasing while dryland and construction land are increasing.

Summary: This study focuses on the coastal area of Jiangyin, and constructs an evaluation method system of ecosystem service value based on land use data from 2016 and 2020. The study explores the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of land use and ecosystem service value, and analyzes the reasons for these changes. The results show that the net increase of ecosystem service value in the coastal area is 483 million yuan, with a growth rate of 137.27%. The study also examines the response mechanism of ecological value to protection measures along the river, and provides insights for government-led evaluation of ecological protection effects and ecologically sustainable development.

Summary: Ecosystem services are essential for human welfare and sustainable development. This study distinguishes the independent contributions of climate change and land use change to ecosystem services in Liaoning Province, China. The results show that climate change is the main driver of water yield and soil retention, while land use change significantly impacts net primary productivity.

Summary: This study discusses the hotspots and keyword categories of research on land use change (LUC) and ecosystem services based on 1860 publications. It analyzes the number of published articles, top authors, organizations, journals, and subject categories. The study also examines the changes in land use area, pattern, and spatial pattern, as well as the limitations of existing research. The main goal is to assist researchers in identifying potential research gaps.

Summary: Urban ecosystem services play a crucial role in sustaining life and addressing challenges like climate change and pollution. This study examined the land use dynamics in Dhaka over the past three decades and found that as built-up areas increased, ecosystem services value decreased by 59.55%, with water bodies being the largest contributor. The findings suggest that even a small change in land use could have a significant impact on total ecosystem services value.

Summary: The study found that changes in water quality have significant effects on water treatment costs, with turbidity playing a key role. The results indicate that water treatment companies have incentives to improve water resource quality, which can help connect economic incentives and landscape protection.

Summary: This study assessed the impacts of historical and projected land-use and land-cover changes on ecosystem services values in the Kathmandu Valley. Results showed a decline in ecosystem services values due to urbanization, with a significant loss dominated by the decline in agricultural land and deforestation.

Summary: This article discusses the impact of land-use intensity on biodiversity and proposes the integration of land-use intensity into biodiversity models. The article distinguishes three dimensions of land-use intensity and emphasizes the complex relationships with biodiversity. However, the multidimensional nature of land-use intensity appears insufficiently reflected in current research.

Summary: This study reviews the link between changes in land use and land cover and ecosystem service value, finding that land use changes in Ethiopia result in both loss and gain of ESVs depending on the type of human activity, highlighting the importance of land restoration and rehabilitation activities for protecting ESVs.

Summary: The study assessed the long-term impacts of land use change on four key ecosystem services (water yield, soil conservation, carbon storage, and habitat quality) and their relationships in a mountainous region. Three future scenarios were constructed, showing that significant improvements are expected in soil conservation, habitat quality, and carbon storage by the middle of the century if government continues efforts towards vegetation restoration on steep slopes.

Summary: The study area in Lingqiu County, China, showed that the poverty alleviation efforts had a positive impact on both economic and ecological sustainability from 2001 to 2016. Despite the lack of significant changes in ecosystem services due to land use changes, the GDP growth rate of 15.81% indicated the effectiveness of poverty alleviation efforts. The study also highlighted the importance of finding a marketplace for ecosystem services in order to promote high-quality sustainable development of the local economy.

Summary: Farmland is an important ecosystem that provides various ecosystem services such as food production, groundwater recharge, and carbon storage. However, there is a lack of research on the overall value and spatial distribution of farmland ecosystem services, especially regarding crop rotations. This study developed a framework for assessing the overall value of farmland ecosystem services with crop rotations and analyzed the impact of land use change on farmland ecosystem services in Changhua County, Taiwan. The findings suggest that land use change led to a decline in overall farmland ecosystem service value, but incorporating crop rotations increased the total ecosystem service value.
