The identification of crucial areas of ecosystem service is of great significance for accurate implementation of sustainable development measures and the improvement of regional ecosystem service. Taking Shiyang River Basin as a research unit, we analyzed the spatio-temporal variations of the provision and consumption of water supply services in 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. The water supply service flow model was used to quantitatively simulate water supply service flow. The ZONATION model was selected to identify the crucial areas in the Shiyang River Basin in 2020. The results showed that the provision of water supply services in the Shiyang River Basin showed a spatial pattern being high in the south and low in the north from 2005 to 2020, which declined gradually with time. The consumption showed a spatial pattern dominated by cultivated land and industrial land and temporal change with a downward trend in fluctuation. Each year, about 10.8% of water demand gap could be made up by replenishing upstream water resource. In 2020, the crucial areas of water supply service in Shiyang River Basin were 14455 km2. We proposed management strategies to repair and improve the capacity of water conservation, flow promotion, and water conservation in crucial areas from the perspective of provision, transmission, and consumption.

Coupling coordination and interaction between urbanization and eco-environment in Cheng-Yu urban agglomeration, China.

We built a comprehensive evaluation index system of urbanization in Chengdu-Chongqing (Cheng-Yu) urban agglomeration from four subsystems, including the economic, social, ecological, and urban and rural coordination. The comprehensive evaluation index system of eco-environment was constructed by combining ecological environment carrying capacity and ecological flexibi-lity. The coupling coordination degree model was applied to quantify the coupling coordination degree between urbanization and eco-environment in the prefecture-level cities of Cheng-Yu urban agglo-meration from 2005 to 2018. With GIS spatial analysis, phenomenon analysis and Tapio model, we analyzed the interaction type, evolution path and path of decoupling between urbanization and eco-environment in the prefecture-level cities of Cheng-Yu urban agglomeration. The results showed that the urbanization quality of Cheng-Yu urban agglomeration showed a trend of fluctuation and rise during the study period. Both Chengdu and Chongqing as high value areas showed "double-core" radia-ting to the surrounding areas. The eco-environment quality showed a slowly rising trend. The spatial pattern was a " U " shape with a north opening, high perimeter and low center. The degree of coupling coordination between the urbanization system and the eco-environment system was rising, with a spatial pattern of low in the middle and high in the east and west. The overall level of coupling coordination was relatively high. The type of coupling coordination degree was gradually evolving from near-disorder and reluctant coordination to moderate coordination. The evolution paths of urbanization and eco-environmental interaction were divided into two categories: stable and changing. The stable type included 20 cities in 5 subcategories, with Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang, etc. being always well-coordination. The change type included 16 cities in 9 subcategories. The coordination degree of Chongqing main urban area, Tongliang and most other cities was improved, showing "rising" development. Hechuan, Zigong and a few other cities showed "sinking" development. The growth rates of both ecological environment and urbanization were positive. The decoupling state of urbanization and ecological environment was mainly characterized by weak decoupling and expansion connection.

[Comprehensive evaluation of ecosystem quality in the Shule River basin, Northwest China from 2001 to 2010.] / 2001­2010年疏勒河流域生态系统质量综合评价.

Shule River Basin is a typical arid inland river basin and ecoenvironment-fragile region. Comprehensive evaluation of ecosystem quality in the Shule River basin is of great significance. The ecosystem productivity index (EPI), the ecosystem stability index (ESI) and the ecosystem bea-ring capacity index (EBCI) were proposed to build a remote sensing comprehensive evaluation mo-del to evaluate the ecosystem quality of Shule River basin during 2001-2010. The results showed that the mean ecosystem quality value in the Shule River basin was 43.21, which was at a relatively low level. The values of EPI, ESI, EBCI were 47.16, 58.09 and 28.52, respectively, indicating that ecosystem carrying capacity in the Shule River basin was poor in the period from 2001 to 2010. However, EPI and EBCI rose by 18.9％ and 20.1％, respectively, but ESI decreased slightly by 9.4%. The ecosystem quality showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing from 2001 to 2010. The average ecosystem quality values in 2001, 2005 and 2010 were 43.71, 44.80 and 41.13, respectively. The farmland ecosystem quality was better than that of the other ecosystem types, and the water area ecosystem quality was the lowest. Overall, the comprehensive evaluation value of the artificial ecosystem quality was 46.43, which was significantly higher than that of the natural ecosystems.

[Assessment of landscape ecological security and optimization of landscape pattern based on spatial principal component analysis and resistance model in arid inland area: A case study of Ganzhou District, Zhangye City, Northwest China].

Starting from ecological environment of inland river in arid area, the distribution of ecological security pattern of Ganzhou District was obtained by using the theory of landscape ecology, spatial principal component analysis (SPCA) and GIS techniques. Ten factors such as altitude, slope, soil erosion, vegetation coverage, and distance from road, were selected as the constraint conditions. According to the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model of landscape, the ecological corridor and nodes were established to optimize the structure and function of ecological function network. The results showed that the comprehensive ecological security situation of the research area was on the average. Area of moderate level of security was 1318.7 km2, being the largest and accounting for 36.7% of the research area. The area of low level of security was mainly located in the northern part and accounted for 19.9% of the study area. With points, lines and surfaces being interlaced, a regional ecological network was constructed, which was consisted of six ecological corridor, 14 ecological nodes, a large ecological source region and a plurality of small area source region, and could effectively improve ecological security level of the study area.

[Dynamic changes of land use and landscape patterns in middle reaches of Shule River, Northwest China].

By using the MSS images in 1976, TM images in 1989 and 2010, and ETM+ images in 2000, in combining with GIS and landscape ecological methods, this paper analyzed the changes of land use/cover and landscape patterns in Yumen County at the middle reaches of Shule River from 1976 to 2010. In the study period, the major patterns of land use change in the County were the conversions from grassland and Gobi to farmland, from farmland to construction land, and from grassland to Gobi. Such a land use change underwent a process of 'slow - tremendous - obvious', during which, the landscape density increased, the largest path index decreased after an initial increase, the weighted area index increased, and the landscape shape became irregular. In the meantime, the nearest distances between patches and the separation among different patches decreased, the patches became more complex, and the landscape diversity and evenness increased after an initial decrease. The increased landscape diversity and fragmentation also showed that the land uses became more complex. The growth of agricultural population and the development of economy were the most direct driving forces of the land use/cover change in Yumen City, whereas the climatic and policy factors also had important effects on the land use change in the study area.
