Multiscenario Land Use Change Simulation and Its Impact on Ecosystem Service Function in Henan Province Based on FLUS-InVEST Model.

ABSTRACT: Studying the impact of future land use changes on regional ecosystem services (ES) is crucial for sustainable development planning in the region. However, there is a lack of research specifically targeting Henan Province under different future scenarios. Therefore, this study simulates four ES functions-water yield (WY), carbon storage (CS), habitat quality (HQ), and nutrient delivery ratio (NDR)-for the historical period in Henan Province. It also constructs a Comprehensive Ecosystem Service (CES) Index. Additionally, the study predicts the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of various ES and CES under two different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) scenarios for the future. The results of the study showed that: (1) The high simulation accuracy of the FLUS model indicates
