Abstract

Ecosystem services value for the source region of the middle Route Project of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project (SRMRP) was evaluated by using the market value, shade-price and opportunity-cost methods based on land use data in the year 2000. The results indicated that the total value of ecosystem services in the SRMRP was approximately 242.94 billion RMB (Chinese currency), of which, the direct and indirect values were 61.99 and 180.95 billion RMB, respectively. The values of the ecosystem service functions in the SRMRP go as follow: gas regulation > production supply > soil conservation > environment purification > biodiversity conservation > water conservation > recreation and culture > nutrient circulation. The order of the total values of ecosystem services for different ecosystems in the SRMRP is as follows: forest > farmland > water area > grassland. The values of the ecosystem services per unit area in the SRMRP are in the order as follows: water area > grassland > forest > cultivated land.
