摘要

Land use sustainability is a pivotal concern in contemporary ecological protection efforts, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the ramifications of changes in land use intensity (LUI) on ecosystem services (ESs). Although ecological control zoning typically emphasizes ES outcomes, it tends to overlook the impacts of human activity intensity. This research focuses on the Yellow River Basin and integrates various data sources, encompassing land use, meteorological, soil, and socioeconomic data from 1980 to 2020. Using the InVEST model, quadratic polynomial fitting, and cluster analysis, this work evaluates the spatiotemporal changes and zoning characteristics of LUI and three ESs—water yield, soil conservation, and habitat quality—to explore the influence of LUI changes on ESs. The results indicate that from 1980 to 2020, LUI shows a sustained increase with considerable spatial heterogeneity, gradually intensifying from upstream to downstream areas. The interannual variability of ESs is minimal, with substantial local fluctuations but overall minor changes. LUI correlates positively with ESs. Based on regional ESs, the Yellow River Basin is categorized into four primary ecological function zones: ecological restoration, ecological pressure, ecological sustainability, and ecological conservation. Considering LUI characteristics, this categorization is further refined into six secondary function zones: ecological restoration, ecological transition, ecological overload, potential development, eco-economic carrying, and ecological conservation. This study provides a scientific foundation for land use planning and ecological conservation policy formulation within the watershed area.
