Measurement of Ecosystem Service Value in the Yellow River Basin under the Background of High-quality Development
Journal: Modern Economics & Management Forum DOI: 10.32629/memf.v5i1.1591
Abstract
As a critical ecological security barrier in China, the Yellow River Basin plays a pivotal role in delivering indispensable ecosystem services. Analyzing the ecosystem services' value in the Yellow River Basin is vital for enhancing ecological protection awareness and advancing ecological initiatives. This study delineates the spatiotemporal characteristics of the Yellow River Basin's ecosystem service value from 2010 to 2021, employing land use change and equivalent factor methods. The findings demonstrate a substantial increase in the Yellow River Basin's ecosystem service value from 2010 to 2021, exhibiting a spatial distribution of lower values centrally and higher values peripherally, a discrepancy that is progressively diminishing. Aquatic ecosystem services exhibited the highest value, succeeded by wetlands, forests, and other categories. Furthermore, our results emphasize the comprehensive spatiotemporal role of ecosystem service value in the Yellow River Basin, offering a theoretical framework and reference for policymakers in evaluating the ecological safety of barrier areas.
