Abstract

Economic valuation of land ecosystem services is a quantitative method for analyzing the ecological impact of land use that provides scientific conclusions for land-use decisions. This paper conducts a land ecosystem service value (ESV) assessment based on the present land-use situation during 1996 and 2008 and land-use planning between 2008 and 2020 in Ledong Li Autonomy County, Hainan province, China. The study concentrates on the reclassification of sub-ecosystems according to land-use types and the revision of ESV coefficients for different sub-ecosystems based on previous results obtained by Costanza et al. (Nature 387: 253–260, 1997) and **e et al. (J. Nat. Res. 23(5):911–919, 2008). Implications of ESV development trends on land-use optimization are analyzed.
