Nonlinear Interactions and Spatial Heterogeneity of Ecosystem Service Transitions in an Ecologically Fragile Karst Region of Southwest China.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Karst regions are ecologically fragile landscapes where land use transitions and human interventions significantly reshape ecosystem service value (ESV). This study investigates the Miaoling watershed in Southwest China-a pivotal ecological barrier-by integrating a value equivalent factor model with an optimized geographic detector to quantify ESV changes and their drivers from 2000 to 2020. Our results reveal substantial land conversions, particularly between forest, grassland, and cropland, leading to pronounced spatial heterogeneity in ESV. Mixed-use zones emerge as critical ecological bottlenecks where gains in ESV coincide with heightened environmental risks. Importantly, we uncover strong nonlinear interactions between climatic (NDVI, precipitation) and socioeconomic (primary industry output) factors, reinforcing the complexity of natural-human feedbacks in karst landscapes. This study offers new insights into the spatial targeting of ecological restoration and risk management and contributes a replicable framework for assessing ecosystem transitions in vulnerable environments.
