Ecosystem services help alleviate the intensity of dryness/wetness

摘要: Abstract Dryness/wetness extremes are likely to become more frequent and severe in the future context of climate change. Ecosystems provide multiple services, such as food production, water supply, biodiversity conservation, carbon fixation, air quality improvement, other services. Therefore, they have potential mitigate destructive effects extreme weather events. with high service values thought be able alleviate intensity dryness/wetness. Although this issue has gained increasing attention, quantitative relationship between ecosystem services is still unknown. The aim study quantifying contribution their components reduction intensities. Spearman’s correlations analysis, a redundancy variation partitioning based on three datasets for China at global scale were employed. results indicated that generally decrease dryness/wetness extremes, these vary across types components. if it possible increase values, local, regional scales can reasonably alleviated.
