While many studies suggest that ULUE improvements enhance sustainability, few examine the spatial coordination between ULUE and the sustainable supply of ecosystem services (ESs)—a key determinant of long-term ecological viability. This study develops a ULUE evaluation framework incorporating ES considerations, applied to China’s Yellow River Basin (YRB) as a representative case. Using county-level data from 2000–2020, we assess ULUE dynamics alongside the supply and demand of five key ESs: food provision, water yield, soil retention, carbon sequestration, and flood mitigation. Spatial autocorrelation and regression analyses reveal mismatches between ULUE and ES supply-demand (ES-SD), alongside regionally heterogeneous impacts of ULUE on ES-SD. Our findings show that ULUE in the YRB remains low but is gradually improving, with higher-efficiency counties clustered around provincial capitals and urban agglomerations. ES-SD levels were highest in the less-developed upper reaches (southwest) and declined toward the urbanized lower reaches (east). Over time, all ES-SD indices except soil retention exhibited downward trends, with growing spatial disparities between ULUE and ES-SD. Crucially, ULUE’s effects on ES-SD varied significantly across subregions, necessitating tailored land-use policies. The study advances a generalizable framework for integrating ULUE and ES assessments, providing actionable insights for sustainable urban planning in the YRB and analogous regions globally.
