A new multiple return-period framework of flood regulation service—applied in Yangtze River basin

An ecosystem’s flood regulation service (EFRS) is important for alleviating flood risk. Both the EFRS and the relationship between EFRS supply and demand may change across flood return periods. However, most studies only considered the EFRS under a single flood return period. In this regard, a new f...
