A clear understanding of the relationship between the ES supply\u2013demand mismatch and urbanization is crucial as it could have a lot of significance for implementing ecological compensation and conservation action. Although a large number of studies have explored this problem, previous studies have focused primarily on the spatial mismatching of the ESs, and only a few studies have considered the spatial relationship between the ES supply\u2013demand mismatch and urbanization at the watershed scale. Taking the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) as an example, this study quantitatively assesses the supply and demand of five ESs, including carbon sequestration, water retention, soil conservation, food production, and recreational opportunity. The bivariate Moran\u2019s I method was used to analyze and visualize the spatial correlation between the ES supply\u2013demand mismatch and urbanization. The results indicate that both the total supply and the total demand of the five ESs increased, while the increasing rate of total demand was higher than the total supply of the ESs; this resulted in a significant spatial mismatch between the supply and demand of the ESs from 2000 to 2020. There is also a negative spatial correlation between the ES supply\u2013demand and urbanization, while the results of local spatial clustering have obvious spatial heterogeneity. The metropolis and its surrounding counties are mostly the ES supply and demand deficit area, but some surrounding counties have managed to transform a deficit into a surplus. These results indicate that urbanization has a certain interference on the mismatch of the ES supply and demand, and this interference is not irreversible. Moreover, this study provides a reliable reference for government management in the context of balancing urbanization and the ecosystem.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14205147","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,17]],"date-time":"2022-10-17T03:43:58Z","timestamp":1665978238000},"page":"5147","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Urbanization Intensifies the Mismatch between the Supply and Demand of Regional Ecosystem Services: A Large-Scale Case of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1892-7122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huayan","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecology and Nature Conservation Institute, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Key Laboratory of Forest Ecology and Environment of National Forestry and Grassland Administration, Beijing 100091, China"}]},{"given":"Wenfa","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecology and Nature Conservation Institute, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Key Laboratory of Forest Ecology and Environment of National Forestry and Grassland Administration, Beijing 100091, China"},{"name":"Co-Innovation Center for Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, Nanjing Forestry University, Longfan Road 159, Nanjing 210037, China"},{"name":"Scientific and Technological Collaborative Innovation Centre for the Yangtze River Economic Belt Ecological Conservation, Beijing 100091, China"},{"name":"Carbon Sink Research Institute, State Forestry and Grassland Administration, Beijing 100091, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1982-1776","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianhua","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecology and Nature Conservation Institute, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Key Laboratory of Forest Ecology and Environment of National Forestry and Grassland Administration, Beijing 100091, China"},{"name":"Co-Innovation Center for Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, Nanjing Forestry University, Longfan Road 159, Nanjing 210037, China"},{"name":"Scientific and Technological Collaborative Innovation Centre for the Yangtze River Economic Belt Ecological Conservation, Beijing 100091, China"},{"name":"Carbon Sink Research Institute, State Forestry and Grassland Administration, Beijing 100091, China"}]},{"given":"Lixiong","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecology and Nature Conservation Institute, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Key Laboratory of Forest Ecology and Environment of National Forestry and Grassland Administration, Beijing 100091, China"},{"name":"Co-Innovation Center for Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, Nanjing Forestry University, Longfan Road 159, Nanjing 210037, China"},{"name":"Scientific and Technological Collaborative Innovation Centre for the Yangtze River Economic Belt Ecological Conservation, Beijing 100091, China"},{"name":"Carbon Sink Research Institute, State Forestry and Grassland Administration, Beijing 100091, China"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecology and Nature Conservation Institute, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Key Laboratory of Forest Ecology and Environment of National Forestry and Grassland Administration, Beijing 100091, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.1038\/387253a0","article-title":"The value of the world\u2019s ecosystem services and natural capital","volume":"387","author":"Costanza","year":"1997","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101274","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecoser.2021.101274","article-title":"Ecosystem services supply and demand response to urbanization: A case study of the Pearl River Delta, China","volume":"49","author":"Zhang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Ecosyst.
