Sustainable Landscape Optimization Of Anji White Tea Region Based On Ecosystem Services

The tea plantation ecosystem holds economic,ecological,cultural,and social values.However,the focus on tea profits has resulted in an imbalance in the ecosystem service values,and a lack of clarity in development positioning.To address this issue,Estimating the value of various services in the tea garden ecosystem is very important.Scientifically improving the tea garden landscape and then addressing the issue of imbalanced ecosystem service value to achieve sustainable development,these are urgent issues that need to be addressed in the current tea garden landscape.Ecosystem service assessment has been widely recognized as a quantitative method for planning.Therefore,this study considers tea plantation landscape planning from the perspective of ecosystem services theory,uses the equivalent factor method to estimate the ecosystem service value of Anji County,obtains relevant data from open source databases,uses geographic detectors and quantile regression methods to explore the underlying mechanisms affecting the landscape ecosystem service value of Anji white tea,and uses field research methods to investigate the public preferences for Anji white tea landscape.Based on the above research data,combined with current situation analysis and higher-level planning,this study optimizes the landscape of Anji white tea production area and proposes targeted strategies.The conclusions obtained from this study are as follows:(1)The ecosystem service values of Anji County and tea plantation ecosystem have obvious spatial clustering.Tea plantations have high ecosystem service value and carbon sequestration function,but the habitat quality of the tea plantation area is at a moderate level.(2)Socio-economic factors have a greater explanatory power for the spatial distribution of tea plantation ecosystem service values.The exploration of the value of the 9 types of ecosystem service functions of tea plantations reveals that natural factors are greater than socio-economic factors,and the interaction between factors is greater than the impact of a single driving factor on the spatial differentiation of tea plantation ecosystem service values.(3)Factors at different quantile levels have different weights and synergistic effects on the ecosystem service values of tea plantations.Specific adjustments can be made based on the specific effects of different factors on tea plantation ecosystem service values to enhance them.(4)Tea tourism is the tea derivative product with the highest public acceptance level,and people of different identities have different preferences for Anji white tea landscapes.Specific conclusions can be used to plan and design tea plantation tourism and activities to enhance the ecosystem service values of tea plantations.(5)In the new era,Anji white tea needs to move towards "functional tea plantations".Government departments should establish specific incentive systems and risk prevention for the future development of Anji white tea.(6)A tea garden landscape optimization framework based on ecosystem services has been constructed,providing specific optimization strategies for the sustainable development of the landscape in Anji white tea production area.This study is based on the theory of ecosystem services to explore the optimization of tea garden landscapes,hoping to provide theoretical and practical references for the planning and design research of agricultural landscapes of the same type.
