Mapping and analysing tradeoffs, synergies and losses among multiple ecosystem services across a transitional area in Beijing, China

Understanding the complex relationships among ecosystem services (ESs) is a prerequisite for optimized management and is of great significance to China’s current implementation of an eco-civilization. However, it is always difficult to simultaneously reveal the relationships among multiple ESs from...

In addition, the relationships among multiple ESs showed significant spatial heterogeneity across townships. In general, tradeoff intensity was mainly related to the supply of human-dominated ESs (especially food supply or water quality regulation), and synergy intensity and loss intensity were mainly related to the supply of ecosystem-dominated ESs. Moreover, all relationships among multiple ESs showed gradient effects along influencing factors. The tradeoff intensity largely exhibited V-shaped patterns, first decreasing and then increasing. Synergy intensity and loss intensity were mainly characterized by monotonically increasing or decreasing patterns. Overall, we found that the process of formation of ESs and their dominating factors largely determined their spatial patterns, spatial heterogeneity, and the gradient effects along influencing factors within the BBA.
