Abstract
This study takes Wuhan as an example, based on the comprehensive assessment of ecosystem service value (ESV) and landscape ecological risk index (ERI), combined with remote sensing technology, geographic information models, landscape ecology, and GIS grid analysis methods, analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution of land use change, ESV , and ERI from 2002 to 2022. The Z-score standardization method was used to determine four types of ecological zones. The research results show that: ① In 2002, 2012, and 2022, the ecosystem service value (ESV) of Wuhan was 5.021 billion yuan, 4.772 billion yuan, and 4.296 billion yuan, respectively, with a unit area ESV of 1.6433 million yuan/km². ② During this period, the landscape ecological risk index (ERI) was 0.0029, 0.0027, and 0.0025, respectively, with low ecological risk areas accounting for about 75.05% of the total area, among which the risk levels of cultivated land and water areas were higher. ③ Combining ESV and ERI, Wuhan was divided into four ecological zones: ecological restoration area (I), ecological reconstruction area (II), ecological development area (III), and ecological protection area (IV), and differentiated management strategies were proposed.
