Identification and analysis of driving factors for ecosystem service bundles in Shanxi Province under multiple scenario simulations by Guofeng Dang, Guibin Li, Jinzhou Hu

“…From 1980 to 2020, there was an overall decline of 2.05%, but the ESV is projected to rebound by 0.84% in 2040(FPS). (3)The synergistic relationship among ecosystem services was dominant, accounting for 88.79%, yet the trade-off coefficient between FP-CR increased by 23.5% over the past decade, which is underscoring the significant conflict between food production and ecological protection.(4)Three types of ESBs were identified: the agricultural production-leading bundle (ESB1), the ecological regulation-strengthening bundle (ESB2), and the water conservation-sensitive bundle (ESB3).The proportion of stable types reached its peak at 82.91% under the AEDS, highlighting the reinforcing effect of market mechanisms on ecological function lock-in. …”
