[Objective]The alpine and canyon region of Southwest China is a crucial ecological security barrier within the national"Three Zones and Four Belts"strategy,and it plays an essential role in ensuring national ecological security and promoting regional high-quality development.However,the ecosystem services and their trade-offs and synergies in this area remain unclear.[Methods]Three typical ecosystem services in the alpine and canyon region of southwest China from 2000 to 2020 were systematically evaluated using the InVEST model,RUSLE model,and WR index,in combination with multi-source geographic datasets.[Results](1)From 2000 to 2020,carbon sequestration and water retention services in the alpine and canyon region of southwest China were steadily improved,with annual carbon sequestration increasing from 1 927 g/(m2·a)to 1985 g/(m2·a),and the WR index rising from 0.062 to 0.067.Spatially,carbon sequestration gradually increased from northwest to southeast,while water retention exhibited strong spatial heterogeneity.In contrast,soil retention services was overall deteriorated,decreasing from 263.50 t/(km2·a)to 226.25 t/(km2·a),with a reduction of 27.50%in the northwest Yunnan alpine canyon ecological maintenance zone.(2)The proportion of the area of ecosystem service hotspot areas increased by 5.41%,following a distribution pattern of the first-class hotspot areas>the non-hot spot areas>the second-class hotspot areas>the third-class hotspot areas form 2000 to 2020.(3)Carbon sequestration services exhibited a synergistic relationship with both water retention services and soil retention services,with synergy areas accounting for 54.91%and 44.46%of the total area,respectively.These synergies were mainly located in the southeastern Tibetan alpine canyon ecological maintenance zone and the eastern Tibetan-western Sichuan alpine canyon ecological maintenance and water retention zone.However,water retention and soil retention services displayed a trade-off relationship,with the synergy area accounting for only 20.14%of the total area.[Conclusion]The results can provide necessary references for scientifically formulating and implementing ecological protection policies and optimizing resource management strategies in the alpine and canyon region of Southwest China.
