土壤保持服务是生态系统服务中调节服务的一项重要内容,无定河流域水土流失严重,土壤保持服务成为其首要的生态系统服务。利用SWAT模型和GIS对无定河流域土壤保持服务供需平衡和空间流动路径进行探究分析,揭示无定河流域土壤保持服务供需空间匹配特征及其空间流转机制。结果表明:(1)无定河流域土壤保持服务供给量与需求量变化趋势具有较强的一致性,两者都呈波动上升的趋势,均与降水具有较强的相互对应关系。其中,2001年8月、2013年7月、2017年7月供给量及需求量达到了2000—2020年所有月份中的较大值 ...

土地生态服务价值评价及其在土地利用布局中的应用--以杭州市萧山区为例
土地是一切陆地生态系统的载体,人类的任何经济社会活动都离不开土地;另一方面,人类的土地利用活动也会影响生态系统.从而会影响其生态服务价值。对杭州市萧山区近年来土地利用的生态服务价值及生态服务价值/GDP值的时空分布进行了研究.结果表明:1999~2004年萧山区土地利用的生态服务价值处于增长趋势,但与GDP比值却处于下降趋势;萧山区土地利用生态服务功能价值/GDP值“中间低两端高”的空间分布特点。根据萧山区生态服务价值时空分布特点,将萧山区划分为4个土地利用区,即城区土地利用区、东部土地利用区 ...
