Abstract
In this paper,the ecosystem services valuation system and methods were developed and Landsat TM and MODIS NDVI were used as the main dataset to calculate the ecosystem services value of 2009 in Hebei Province. The total value of ecosystem services of Hebei Province was 180. 38 million in 2009. The value of the service that maintained soil fertility accounted for 59. 15% of the total value,which was the biggest one of the eight services, followed by the values of released O 2,fixed CO 2,nutrients accumulation,soil conservation,water volume regulation,organic matter production and water purification. The spatiotemporal pattern of ecosystem services values of Hebei Province in 2009 was remarkable,the values were much higher in northern and northwestern parts and mountain areas than the values in southern and southeastern parts and plain areas. The values of ecosystem services of various kinds of land- use categories were different significantly. Forest land offers the highest ecosystem service value per hectare,and farmland,because of its huge area,offers the highest total value.
