Abstract

Formulating a consistent standard for ecosystem service value (ESV) estimation and incorporating it into government decision-making is an important way to achieve balanced ecological-economic development. Taking the ecologically vulnerable areas in Northwest China as an example, this paper uses the value transfer method to estimate the ESV of cropland, forest, grassland, waters, and unused land; analyzes the spatio-temporal characteristics of the increment of ESV (△ESV) and ecological-economic harmony (EEH) index in each city; as well as identifies their key influential factors. The results suggest that value transfer is a feasible approach to developing a consistent standard for ESV estimation. The ecological-economic system is limited by the natural environment, economic growth, local government, population, and the development of agriculture and livestock. The main factors that affect unit ESV, total ESV, and EEH are connected but vary across space. The findings can provide a reference for estimating ESV across regions, formulating policies for land management and ecological protection, and promoting sustainable development.

促进生态脆弱区生态经济协调发展：时空分异及驱动因素

制定统一的生态系统服务价值评估标准并将其纳入政府决策是实现生态经济平衡发展的重要途径。以西北生态脆弱区为例，采用价值转移法估算了农田、森林、草地、水域和未利用地的ESV；分析了各城市ESV增量（△ESV）和生态经济和谐指数（EEH）的时空特征；并确定其主要影响因素。结果表明，价值转移是建立统一的ESV估计标准的可行方法。生态经济系统受自然环境、经济增长、地方政府、人口、农牧业发展等因素的制约。影响单位ESV、总ESV和EEH的主要因素是相互联系的，但在空间上有所不同。研究结果可为估算区域生态价值、制定土地管理和生态保护政策、促进可持续发展提供参考。

期刊介绍： Environmental Management offers research and opinions on use and conservation of natural resources, protection of habitats and control of hazards, spanning the field of environmental management without regard to traditional disciplinary boundaries. The journal aims to improve communication, making ideas and results from any field available to practitioners from other backgrounds. Contributions are drawn from biology, botany, chemistry, climatology, ecology, ecological economics, environmental engineering, fisheries, environmental law, forest sciences, geosciences, information science, public affairs, public health, toxicology, zoology and more. As the principal user of nature, humanity is responsible for ensuring that its environmental impacts are benign rather than catastrophic. Environmental Management presents the work of academic researchers and professionals outside universities, including those in business, government, research establishments, and public interest groups, presenting a wide spectrum of viewpoints and approaches.
