Incorporating climate change into ecosystem monitoring is essential for sustainability. However, the relationship between climate variables and ecosystem services remains underexplored, and the specific impacts of these variables are not well understood. This study introduces a comprehensive framework to investigate the effects of climate variables on regional ecology. Using CMIP6 climate data, alongside the PLUS and InVEST models, this research predicts the spatial distribution of ecosystem services (ESs). Additionally, Spearman correlation analysis assess the trade-offs and synergies among four ecological indicators, and the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model is utilized to analyze the response of these indicators to climate variables. The results showed that the ecological land type was protected and restored under the SSP126 scenario. The SSP245 scenario recommends moderate land development; The SSP585 scenario is characterized by rapid economic growth and urban expansion eroding ecological land. In the future, ESs index changes dramatically, SSP126 shows an increase, and the other two scenarios are reduced. The four ecosystem service functions show synergistic effect. Among the climate variables, there are significant changes from year to year. SSP126 scenario is considered to be the best path for regional ESs under climate change. We suggest that managers continue to control regional carbon emissions. Precipitation is always a positive factor to promote the development of regional ecosystem, and future development can reduce the uncertainty of future development by taking advantage of climate.
