Spatiotemporal evolution and driving factors of ecosystem services based on InVEST-OPGD model: a case study in Kunming by Yuanyuan Zhang, Kouqiang Zhang, Shu’na Wei, Kebin Wang, Haisheng Li

“…CS and HQ services showed a downward trend. Spatially, WY service was ‘low in the northwest and high in the southeast,’ while SC, CS, and HQ services were ‘high in the north and low in the south.’ (3) The four ESs in Kunming demonstrated significant global positive spatial correlations, with local clustering patterns exhibiting spatial heterogeneity. (4) WY, CS, and HQ services were mainly affected by vegetation factor NDVI, and SC was mainly affected by the geographic factor slope. …”
