Understanding the spatiotemporal characteristics and comprehensive service capabilities of various ecosystem services is crucial for maintaining regional ecosystem security, and clarifying the driving mechanisms of ecosystem services plays a guarantee for achieving regional sustainable development. Based on the ecological issues of Shanxi Province (SXP) in China, an assessment system covering eight targeted ecosystem services were constructed to quantitatively analyze the spatio-temporal patterns and contribution rates of driving factors. The water conservation, sand fixation, environment purification and habitat quality in the Loess Hills of western SXP have improved, with significant increase in hotspots. The comprehensive service capacity of ecosystem services in the Fenwei Basin (central SXP) has deteriorated, and the coldspots have expanded. The water conservation, carbon storage, habitat quality and recreation culture in the Yanshan-Taihang Mountains (eastern SXP) were enhanced, while product supply, carbon storage and environment purification were deteriorated. Land use is the dominant influencing factor on product supply. Water and soil conservation, sand fixation, and environment purification are dominated by climate factors. Carbon storage, habitat quality and recreation culture are influenced by underlying surface conditions. The current study provided a research paradigm, which will help the government with appropriate management policies to ensure the effectiveness of ecological protection and restoration, and offers insights for facilitating ecological sustainability and economic transformation in resource-based regions worldwide.
了解各种生态系统服务的时空特征和综合服务能力对于维护区域生态系统安全至关重要，而阐明生态系统服务的驱动机制是实现区域可持续发展的保障。基于中国山西省的生态问题，构建了一个涵盖八项针对性生态系统服务的评估体系，以定量分析时空格局和驱动因素的贡献率。山西省西部黄土丘陵区的水源涵养、固沙、环境净化和栖息地质量有所改善，热点地区显著增加。汾渭盆地（山西省中部）生态系统服务的综合服务能力有所下降，冷点地区有所扩大。燕山—太行山地区（山西省东部）的水源涵养、碳储存、栖息地质量和游憩文化得到增强，而产品供给、碳储存和环境净化则有所恶化。土地利用是影响产品供给的主要因素。水土保持、固沙和环境净化受气候因素主导。碳储存、栖息地质量和游憩文化受地表条件影响。本研究提供了一种研究范式，这将有助于政府制定适当的管理政策，以确保生态保护和恢复的有效性，并为促进全球资源型地区的生态可持续性和经济转型提供见解。
