Abstract
Based on the environmental-cultural coupling perspective of ecosystem service flow, this study explored the flow, distribution and interaction of ecosystem services in different regions in Gansu Province, in order to provide scientific basis for ecological protection and resource management in the province. In this paper, InVEST model, MaxEnt model and coupling coordination degree model are adopted. Based on the quantitative assessment of the supply and demand of ecosystem services, the hot spot analysis and the measurement method of ecosystem service flow based on circuit theory are combined. Linkage Mapper was used to construct ecological resistance surfaces, simulate ecological processes, identify ecological corridors, and analyze the spatial distribution and flow patterns of service flows. The results show that there are significant regional differences in the supply of ecosystem services in Gansu Province, and there are contradictions between cultural services and ecological services in regional coordination. There is a large spatial difference in the coupling coordination degree of environment-cultural services, that is, there are four main types of ecosystem service supply-demand ratio: The spatial distribution characteristics of ecosystem service flows of high-supply-high demand, high-supply-low demand, low-supply-high demand, and low-supply-low demand indicate that environmental service flows and cultural service flows present different flow paths and connectivity in Gansu Province. Based on the above analysis results, this paper divides the ecological function zone of Gansu Province into ecological culture protection zone, ecological culture maintenance zone and ecological culture development zone, which is closely combined with the territorial spatial planning of Gansu Province, and adopts regional policies to ensure the ecological security and sustainable development of Gansu Province.
