Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Ecosystem Service Value and Its Linkages with Landscape Pattern Changes in Xiong’an New Area, China (2014–2022)
Source abstract
Abstract
As China’s third national-level new area, Xiong’an New Area plays a pivotal strategic role in relocating non-capital functions from Beijing while serving as a model for sustainable urban development. This study investigates the spatiotemporal evolution of ecosystem service value (ESV) and landscape patterns in Xiong’an before (2014–2016) and after (2017–2022) its establishment, assessing the policy-driven impacts of green development initiatives. Using remote sensing data, random forest classification, and landscape pattern analysis, we quantified land use dynamics, landscape index, and ESV variations. Key findings reveal significant land use transformations, with cultivated land declining by 7.51% and coniferous forest expanding by 189.84%, driven by urbanization and afforestation efforts. The comprehensive land use dynamic degree reached 4.96% (2014–2022), while the land use intensity index decreased by 20.95%. Concurrently, the fragmentation index increased significantly (Diversity Index (SHDI) +45%; Edge Density (ED) +66.23%). Despite these changes, ESV surged by 57.51% (CNY 334.63 billion), primarily due to wetland and forest expansion. Statistical analysis revealed positive correlations between ESV and the fragmentation index (ED, NP, and SHDI), whereas the aggregated index (CONTAG and AI) exhibited negative correlations. The findings substantiate the policy effectiveness of Xiong’an’s ecological initiatives, revealing how strategic landscape planning can balance urban development with ecosystem protection, offering valuable guidance for sustainable urbanization in Xiong’an and comparable regions.
