摘要: The eco-environment in many underdeveloped areas is vulnerable. Elucidating the changes and relationships in ecosystem services (ESs) is a fundamental basis for achieving sustainable development in these regions. Utilizing multiple data sources and models, we quantified water provision (WP), habitat quality (HQ), carbon fixation (CF), soil conservation (SC), and wind erosion prevention (WEP) on the Mongolian plateau during 1992-2018. We then analyzed the spatial-temporal changes, trade-offs/synergies, and bundles relationship of these ESs. The results indicated there was high spatial variability in five ESs across the plateau, with overall higher ESs in forested areas, and grassland and cropland areas had higher WEP values. The annual mean values of WP, HQ, CF, SC, and WEP in the plateau during 1992-2018 were 27.15 mm, 0.57, 176.17 gCm(2), 48.83 t hm(2), and 58.31 t hm(2), respectively. Due to fluctuations in precipitation, vegetation cover and land use, the five ESs decreased from 1992 to 2000s, but increased from 2000s to 2018, Notably, the HQ changed most significantly (p < 0.01), while the WP changed insignificantly (p > 0.05). The different ESs on the plateau overall exhibited synergistic effects, trade-offs between several pairs of ESs related to HQ, were observed in cropland areas. We further identified five distinct categories of ES bundles and proposed targeted recommendations for spatial planning and management of these ESs, tailored to their characteristics. The findings offer a valuable reference for high-quality environmental management, as well as the restoration and enhancement of ESs in arid inland areas in a warming climate.
