Abstract
Taking HaDaQi industrial corridor, Heilongjiang Province, China as a case study area, this paper examined the trend of land use changes during 1990-2005 used three LANDSAT TM and/or ETM data sets, and quantified their influences on natural ecosystem service values. During the whole period of study, Land Use/Cover Type changed immensely in the study area, the development of land is increasing continuously. The total value of ecosystem services in HaDaQi Industrial Corridor declined by 18.23 billion yuan. We also found that the contribution of construction, reclamation and water shortage increased during the 15-year time period. We conclude that future land-use policy formulation should give precedence to the conservation of these ecosystems over uncontrolled construction, reclamation, and water consumption and that further land development should be based on rigorous environmental impact analyses.
