Overview

Spatial modeling study reveals shifting coupling dynamics between factor flows and rural ecosystem services in Hunan, highlighting the need for balanced material and non-material resource allocation.

Key Points

  • Identify the coupling characteristics between factor mobility and rural multiple ecosystem service values, and evaluate the primary mechanisms driving their spatial differentiation.
  • Analyzed county-level longitudinal data from Hunan Province, China, covering the period from 2013 to 2024.
  • Evaluated factor mobility and ecosystem service values using entropy-weighted linear aggregation, entropy-weighted TOPSIS, and elasticity coefficient modeling.
  • Identified coupling patterns and spatial driving mechanisms using Spearman correlation analysis and the geographical detector model.
  • Coupling dynamics shifted from collaborative and inverse-increment types toward crowding-out and lagging types, transitioning from systemic coordination to low-level differentiation.
  • Urbanization level and the number of new agricultural business entities were primary drivers of spatial differentiation, with their interaction displaying the strongest explanatory power.
  • Crowding-out patterns predominated in the central urbanized core, whereas lagging types concentrated in peripheral areas due to excessive material factor concentration and non-material factor deficits.
