Groundwater has been known as the second largest freshwater storage in the world,
following surface water. Over the years, groundwater has already been under overwhelming …

Although vegetation is increasingly used to mitigate landslide risks, how vegetation affects
the temporal variability of slope stability is poorly understood, especially in earthquake …

Human activities have an impact on the structure and function of ecosystems, which in turn
affects ecosystem service (ES) supply and demand. Based on the four-quadrant model of …

Understanding the spatial distribution characteristics of ecosystem service value (ESV) and
their underlying driving factors is critical for ecosystem service management. Using three …

Regional effects of farming on hydrology are associated mostly with irrigation. In this work,
we show how rainfed agriculture can also leave large-scale imprints. The extent and speed …

Spatially quantifying ecosystem services (ES) supply, demand and balance dynamics and
exploring their relations with socio-economic factors are very significant for regional …

Ecosystem services (ES) emerge from the complex interactions of diverse ecosystem
components. In turn, the provision of ES is influenced by how they are put to use and …

Accurate spatio-temporal quantifying of ecosystem services (ESs) supply and social demand
and their coordination dynamics, and determining which factors affect such coordination and …

Soil carbonates (ie, soil inorganic carbon or SIC) represent more than a quarter of the
terrestrial carbon pool and are often considered to be relatively stable, with fluxes significant …

Identifying the spatial heterogeneity characteristics of ecosystem services (ESs) and their
influencing mechanisms is crucial for regional ecological management and sustainable …
