Title

Monitoring the Ecological Security of Esfahan with an Ecosystem Service Approach

Pages

  91-107

Abstract

 Arid and semi-arid regions of the world have been severely degraded by human and natural factors. These regions play an important role in reducing natural disasters and improving human well-being due to their unique ecosystems, rich resources and economically suitable areas. In this regards, in order to estimate the effects of man-made pressures on Biological Capacity of Esfahan city, Consumption Footprint Pressure index (CFPI) and Production Footprint Pressure index (PFPI) were used based on the concept of ecological footprint during 2000-2019. Besides, the ecological footprint distribution index (EFCI) was evaluated to investigate the pressures created by CFPI and PFPI. In this study, carbon storage service was integrated with ecological footprint index to evaluate the level of ecological security index (ESI) for consideration of the performance of the ecosystem as a criterion in the evaluations. The results showed that despite the different fluctuations in the trend of CFPI and PFPI variations during the study timespan, these indices have approximately a decreasing trend. In addition, the negative values of EFCI illustrates the higher effectiveness of the consumption footprint in determining the ecological safety index than the production footprint, and according to the decision-making model, this index in the ‘ high risk’ class. Comparison of the Biological Capacity and the ecological footprint highlighted a severe ecological deficit and weak ecological security in Esfahan city during the studied timespan. The outcomes to this study could help policy makers and decision makers to adopt strategies such as the scenario of reducing the ecological footprint or increasing the Biological Capacity considering the land management criteria.
