Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Land Use Changesand Their Impacts on Ecosystem ServiceValue in the Qinghai Lake Basin, 2003-2023
Summary
Researchers examined spatiotemporal land use changes and their effects on ecosystem service value in the Qinghai Lake Basin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau over a 20-year period from 2003 to 2023. The study found that land use alterations significantly disrupted biodiversity, soil retention, water conservation, and overall ecosystem service value in this important inland saltwater lake region.
Qinghai Lake Basin, an integral part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, being particularly responsive to such changes [2].As the largest inland saltwater lake in China, Qinghai Lake serves as a biodiversity hotspot and a crucial intersection for multiple ecosystem services (ESs), including climate regulation, water resource management, and grassland livestock sustenance.Over the past two decades, the basin's ecosystem has experienced varying degrees of disruption, with land use changes being a significant contributing factor [3].These alterations have had profound implications for biodiversity, soil retention, water conservation, and ESV,
