Bridging the ecosystem service supply-demand imbalance: Spatial flow patterns and driving forces in the Yangtze River midstream urban agglomeration, China by Xiaowen Zhou, Xuesong Zhang, Hongjie Peng, Wei Ren, Qiuyu Zou

“…We identified three key findings: (1) Temporal analysis of the supply–demand balance index (SDI) revealed divergent trends, with FP showing steady growth, WY demonstrating fluctuating increases, and CS experiencing continuous decline. Spatially, 82 % of supply–demand imbalances concentrated in core urban areas, with spatial extents progressively expanding. (2) FP flow (FPF) initial flows mitigated local deficits (77,100 t max), enhanced by cross-regional transfers (270,500 t max), while WY flow (WYF) covered 48 % of the entire study area and CS flow (CSF) served only 37 % of imbalanced zones, both limited by non-selective flows. (3) Driving forces displayed specific patterns: FPF was influenced by multiple factors, WYF was primarily socio-economically driven, and CSF was mainly determined by natural conditions. …”
