Analysis of Ecosystem Service Values Change Using Land Use Data in Hulunbeier Grassland

Article Preview

Abstract:

Land use change has major impact on goods and services which environment supplies for society. However, field scale monitoring schemes for ecosystem services or ecosystem values are missing, proxy based indicators can assess the historic development of ecosystem services and values. In this study, we use land use data from 2000 to 2010 to show at the example of the historic ecosystem service values development in Hulunbeier grassland. The regional assessment shows an overall trend for degradation of ecosystem service values from 2000 to 2010.
