Abstract:

Based on the data of 107 counties and regions in Shanxi Province in 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2018, this paper constructs the evaluation index system of high-quality development in Shanxi Province, uses the InVEST model to calculate the ecosystem services of counties and regions in Shanxi Province, and analyzes the spatiotemporal coupling characteristics of the high-quality development system and ecosystem services of counties in Shanxi Province by using the coupling coordination model and elasticity coefficient method. The following results are presented. (1) The grade effect of cities has a significant impact on the level of high-quality development. The spatial differentiation law of high-quality development is strong, which roughly forms the north-south-middle three-level cores, and the polarization effect in the central region is prominent. (2) Ecosystem services in the study area have locking effects in time scale and spatial pattern. The temporal and spatial evolution characteristics are consistent with the topographic distribution of the study area, showing a stable “mirror L-shaped” spatial distribution pattern. (3) Ecosystem services in the study area generally lag behind high-quality development. From the perspective of the time change, the coupling level shows an upward trend. From the perspective of spatial pattern characteristics, ecosystem services and the high-quality development show the coordination main axis of “northeast-southwest.” (4) The coupling type of high-quality development and ecosystem services in the study area mainly changes in different directions, generally showing a retrogressive development trend. A “polarization” pattern, in which recession and lag types compete, is also observed, forming a convergent “S” type attenuation area. As an ideal model of coupling type, growth type is remarkably few in the study area.
