5. Conclusions
- (1)
- There was a significant spatiotemporal distribution and variation difference in water yield from 2000 to 2010, and it revealed obvious clustering characteristics of cold and hot spots (low and high values). In 2010 and 2020, the water yield was higher in the north and lower in the south. From 2000 to 2020, the water yield increased in the north and decreased in the southeast. There were significant differences in the distribution and changes in water yield among different cities, with higher water yields and more significant changes in water yield in northern mountainous cities.
- (2)
- From 2000 to 2010, the soil conservation was high in the north and low in the south, without significant spatiotemporal changes, and also exhibited distinct clustering characteristics of cold and hot spots (low and high values). From 2000 to 2020, soil conservation changes slightly decreased in the north and slightly increased in the south. The distribution and change in soil conservation vary slightly among different cities, while soil conservation and change were relatively high in northern mountainous cities.
- (3)
- The distribution index of environmental gradients showed that the distribution and change in water yield were very complex. The high values of water yield distribution were mainly observed at higher levels (or categories) for elevation, slope, TPI, geomorphy, and LULC, except for the 2010 water geomorphy, which was at a low level at NDVI; the high values of water yield changes were distributed at both low and high altitudes. The high values of soil conservation distribution and change were all found at higher levels (or categories) for elevation, slope, TPI, topography, and NDVI. In LULC, soil conservation distribution was mainly higher in forest and grassland, while soil conservation changes were higher in unused land.
- (4)
- The factor detection of geographic detectors shows that at a single environmental gradient, the degrees of water yield distribution and change were generally lower than that of soil conservation, and the degrees of distribution and change in water yield and soil conservation were usually more sensitive to terrain factors (slope, TPI, and DEM). The interactive detection of environmental gradients indicates that there were two types of distribution and changes in water and soil conservation in different environments: dual factor enhancement and non-linear enhancement. Ecological detection showed that there were significant differences in the degrees of distribution and change in water yield and soil conservation in any two environmental gradients compared to each other; however, there were differences in results between different environmental gradients and between the same environmental gradients at different times. The risk detection results showed that there were fluctuations in the high-value important regions of water yield and soil conservation for different environmental gradients; the high-value important regions of water yield and soil conservation were 1000 to 2160 m (grade 5) for DEM, 25° to 70.2° (grade 5) for slope, 0.81 to 1.42 (grade 5) for TPI, medium mountain (category 5) for geomorphy, forest land (category 2) for LULC, and 0.9 to 0.92 (grade 5) for NDVI.
