Overview

This analysis quantifies ecosystem services and regional ecological zones in rapidly urbanizing eastern Guangdong, indicating urgent conservation needs.

Key Points

  • Ecosystem services exhibited a declining trend from 2000 to 2020, particularly in soil retention and water retention, highlighting critical environmental shifts.
  • Four key ecosystem services—carbon storage, habitat quality, soil retention, and water retention—were quantified, revealing a clear spatial heterogeneity in their dynamics.
  • A multi-scale geographically weighted regression model was utilized to examine natural and socioeconomic drivers impacting ecosystem services across the region.
  • The findings underscore the necessity for targeted conservation strategies in distinct ecological zones due to intensified urbanization challenges.
