Abstract

With the development of the ecology research, the in-depth understanding of the characteristics of different types of ecological systems, ecosystem observation techniques progress, all kinds of ecosystem observation data to accumulate, an value analysis and evaluation of the ecosystem make it possible for understanding the ecological system evolution and discussing the sustainable development of ecosystem. All parts of the ecosystem including humans and their environment, ecosystem provide all kinds of ecological services to human through the process of its function. Ecosystem services (ESs) is considered as no value by the existing economic model and theory for a long time, only part of the ecological products have the market price, in order to obtain tangible ESs, human damage or even destroy some invisible ecological services at the same time, led to a decline in ESs. Since the mid-1990s, the Chinese ecologists widely study the ESs and its value assessment research, contenting forest, grassland, wetland , farmland, and marine ecosystems. Through the general laws of ecological service value method and the time spatial heterogeneity of ESs space model method, we assess the ESs value in whole and reflect its spatial and temporal heterogeneity. Value assessment method of ESs is develo** constantly, widely used in the main are valued based on the price per unit area, based on the function of laws of value and dynamic laws of value based on the single function time three types. Three methods are widely adopted, they are based on the price per unit area, based on the function of laws of value, dynamic laws of value based on the single function time. In a new paradigm to investigate the relationship between ecosystem and economic system, so as to promote an efficient economic decisions for resource allocation in the economic system and ecological system of integrated system framework. To cultivate and develop effective market mechanism for ecological service has become one of the hot spot of ecological service research and ecosystem management. Researching on ESs consumption and building ecological system efficient continuous consumption mode, we can hold the direction of the rational utilization of ecological system, and it is of great practical significance to safeguard the ecological safety. On the basis of understanding the principle of ecosystem consumption and consumption measurement model, analyzing consumption process, analyzing consumption utility function (UF), and analyzing the consumption process, we can realize ESs, and this provide a scientific basis to optimize the structure of consumption of ESs, and to build efficient continuous consumption patterns (CPs).
