生态系统服务(ES)束可以促进对大尺度景观中多个ES的空间配置和相互作用的全面了解。它们对于为政策提供信息和改善生态系统管理至关重要。最近的研究已经讨论了ES束的空间维度，但很少有工作考虑ES束的时间变化。本文以中国植被恢复核心区黄土高原为例，探讨了2000年至2015年植被快速恢复期间生态系统的空间分布、束类型及多个生态系统相互作用的变化。使用可测量的代用品、生物物理指标和Invest模型对10个ES进行量化。我们发现：(1)大多数生态系统都得到了改善，特别是供应服务和碳封存。(2)供应服务和大多数调节服务之间存在稳定的权衡，而植被恢复对农业生产的影响很小。(3)ES之间的协同作用减弱，暗示存在微妙的ES功能相互依赖。(4)2000-2015年间捆绑格局的变化表明，由于碳封存的激增和基流调节的恶化，生态系统之间的差距增大。这一研究为理解多个生态系统与区域植被恢复活动之间的相互作用提供了新的视角。生态恢复方案在加强可持续发展战略方面发挥了重要作用，但也可能导致可持续发展战略之间的差距扩大。可将基本流量管制列为支持全面了解恢复干预措施影响的一个关键指标。ES捆绑包框架能够捕获大规模环境中ES交互随时间的变化，并促进明智的ES管理。
Ecosystem service (ES) bundles can facilitate comprehensive understanding of the spatial configurations and interactions of multiple ESs across large-scale landscapes. They are critical for informing policy and improving ecosystem management. The spatial dimension of ES bundles has been addressed in recent research but little work has considered the temporal changes of ES bundles. This paper uses a case study in the Loess Plateau, the core area of vegetation restoration in China, to explore changes in ES spatial distributions, bundle types and multiple ES interactions in a period of rapid vegetation restoration between 2000 and 2015. Measurable proxies, biophysical indicators and the InVEST model were used to quantify 10 ESs. We found that (1) most of the ESs were improved, especially provisioning services and carbon sequestration. (2) There is a steady tradeoff between provisioning services and most regulating services, while the impacts of vegetation restoration on agricultural production were small. (3) The synergies among ESs were weakened, implying the presence of subtle functional ES interdependencies. (4) Changes in the bundling patterns between 2000 and 2015 revealed heightened gaps among ESs due to the upsurge of carbon sequestration and deterioration of the baseflow regulation. This research provides a new perspective for understanding the interactions between multiple ESs with regional vegetation restoration activities. Ecological restoration programmes play an important role in enhancing ESs, but they may also lead to expanded gaps between ESs. Baseflow regulation could be included as a key indicator to support a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of restoration interventions. The ES bundle framework is able to capture changes over time of the ES interactions across a large-scale landscape and facilitates informed ES management.
