Abstract

It is an effective method to study the value change of ecological services based on land use and cover change information. This paper analyzed the land use and cover change information in the research area, which is based on the remote sensing images and social statistics data of 2005, 2010, and 2015, and then, quantitative estimation of the ecosystem service value was performed. Yangtze-Huaihe river basin, China is a fragile ecological area, which is selected as the research area. During 2005-2015, the area of cultivated land and construction land was the main land use types in the study area, the land use and cover change in the study area were obvious, which was characterized by the increasing of construction land area and the decreasing of cultivated land area, and the total ecosystem services value in the research area has been decreasing continuously, the value from 34.376 billion yuan in 2005 to 26.161 billion yuan in 2015.

Highlights

In recent years, the ecological and environmental problems which are owing to unreasonable development have become apparent increasingly
Based on the remote sensing image interpretation data of the Yangtze-Huaihe river basin in 2005, 2010, and 2015, the land-use types in the study area were divided into 6 categories: cultivated land, woodland, grassland, water area, construction land, and unused land using the supervised classification method (Figure 2)
The development of the social economy and the land-use and cover-change information has a significant impact on the ecosystem services value

Summary

Introduction

The ecological and environmental problems which are owing to unreasonable development have become apparent increasingly. It does restricts the development of the local economy and affects the evolution of the ecological environment in China[1]. Xie Gaodi et al[5] based on the evaluation model proposed by Costanza developed China’s different terrestrial ecosystem per unit area ecosystem services value (ESV). This form is simple and reliable, so it has been widely used in China[6]. Blumstein et al [8], Lawler et al [9] studied the influence of LUC on ESV by analyzing the changes of LUC and ESV in the target area
