Integrating territorial pattern changes into the relationship between carbon sequestration and water yield in the Yangtze River Basin, China.

ABSTRACT: Territorial pattern plays an important role in regional ecosystem management and service provision. It is significant to demonstrate the coordination relationships between the territorial space evolutions and ecosystem services for sustainable regional development. This study focused on quantifying the impacts of production-living-ecological space change on carbon sequestration and water yield in the upper and middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin. Our results indicated that the production-living-ecological space variation trends are similar between the upper and middle-lower reaches during 2000-2020, while their impacts on ecosystem services are different in their respective regions. In the upper reaches, the changes in production and ecological space had a direct positive impac
