Abstract

Human society in the Anthropocene is globally connected and relies on flows of goods and services for its prosperity and wellbeing. However, quantitative understanding of the flows of ecosystem services (ES) embedded in trade (virtual ES flow) across multiple human-natural systems remains limited. Here, we develop a framework to quantify virtual ES flows by integrating multi-region input–output modeling and ES mapping, and apply it to examine water provisioning and climate regulation services, using China and its major urban agglomeration as a case study. Our results showed that virtual flows of ES were substantially greater than the direct utilization of water and carbon resources, confirming the dependency on virtual flows of ES in highly urbanized regions. Interestingly, the virtual flows were mainly connected to distant rather than adjacent regions, highlighting the importance of considering cross-scale dynamics and managing long-distance flows in policy-making. Our framework holds the potential for broader applications, including the exploration of various types of ES and sustainability-related issues.

测量中国城市群中贸易产品所含生态系统服务的虚拟流动
人类世的人类社会与全球紧密相连,其繁荣和福祉有赖于商品和服务的流动。然而,人们对贸易中包含的生态系统服务(ES)在多个人类-自然系统中的流动(虚拟生态系统服务流)的定量了解仍然有限。在此,我们通过整合多区域投入产出模型和生态系统服务图谱,建立了一个量化虚拟生态系统服务流的框架,并以中国及其主要城市群为案例,将其应用于研究水供应和气候调节服务。我们的研究结果表明,环境服务的虚拟流量远远大于水资源和碳资源的直接利用,这证实了高度城市化地区对环境服务虚拟流量的依赖。有趣的是,虚拟流动主要与遥远而非相邻地区相连,这凸显了在制定政策时考虑跨尺度动态和管理远距离流动的重要性。我们的框架具有更广泛的应用潜力,包括探索各种类型的生态系统服务和可持续性相关问题。

期刊介绍: Ecosystem Services is an international, interdisciplinary journal that is associated with the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP). The journal is dedicated to exploring the science, policy, and practice related to ecosystem services, which are the various ways in which ecosystems contribute to human well-being, both directly and indirectly. Ecosystem Services contributes to the broader goal of ensuring that the benefits of ecosystems are recognized, valued, and sustainably managed for the well-being of current and future generations. The journal serves as a platform for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders to share their findings and insights, fostering collaboration and innovation in the field of ecosystem services.
