Implication

Randomized trial analyzes ecosystem service dynamics in different land use functional zones, suggesting tailored management strategies.

Key Points

This study aims to identify driving factors and trade-off/synergy relationships of ecosystem services in varying land use functional zones in Shanxi Province.
Analyzed six ecosystem service indicators from 2000 to 2020: carbon storage, carbon emissions, water yield, food production, soil conservation, and habitat quality.
Classified 117 counties into distinct land use functional zones: economic development, coal resource optimization, ecological conservation, ecological restoration, and ecological enhancement zones.
Integrated multi-model approaches to quantify ecosystem service dynamics and assess driving mechanisms across zones.
Economic development and coal resource optimization zones showed rising carbon emissions and declining carbon storage.
Stable ecosystem services were maintained in ecological conservation zones.
Ecosystem service relationships evolved to favor synergies over trade-offs, with improved dynamics between carbon storage and emissions.
