Using dynamic Bayesian belief networks to infer the effects of climate change and human activities on changes in regional ecosystem services by Haoran Yu, Junyi Jiang, Xinchen Gu, Chunwu Cao, Cheng Shen

“…In this study, we utilize the dynamic Bayesian belief network (DBN) to infer the probabilistic changes in ecosystem services (biodiversity conservation, carbon storage, soil retention, water regulation, net primary productivity, and crop production) under the influence of climate change and human activities in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. Through this investigation, we discern conspicuous discrepancies in the impacts of climate and human activities on various ecosystem services and their spatial differentiations in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. …”
