“…More recent theoretical frameworks have taken an increasingly holistic approach by considering cultural ecosystem services and indigenous perspectives that may not lend themselves to capitalist systems of monetary valuation (Normyle, Vardon, & Doran, 2023). Recently, authors have argued for the importance of including a relational perspective (Stålhammar & Thoren, 2019) which recognizes that people value nature in the context of how they relate to other human beings, further breaking down the false dichotomy between “human systems” and “natural systems” (Chan et al., 2012a, 2012b; Chan et al., 2016; Pascual et al., 2017).…”

The ways in which people conceptualize the human–nature relationship have significant implications for proenvironmental values and attitudes, sustainable behavior, and environmental policy measures. Human exceptionalism (HE) is one such conceptual framework, involving the belief that humans and human societies exist independently of the ecosystems in which they are embedded, promoting a sharp ontological boundary between humans and the rest of the natural world. In this paper, we introduce HE in more depth, exploring the impact of HE on perceptions of the human–nature relationship, the role of culture in HE, and speculating on the origins of HE. We consider potential implications for environmental decision‐making, conservation and environmental science, and promoting proenvironmental behavior. We present empirical evidence on the pervasiveness and consequences of HE in WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic) populations, and potential interventions. Finally, we close with implications of human‐exceptionalist thinking on other sustainability‐related fields, including conservation practices, nature management, climate change adaptation, and environmental science. Understanding the cognitive and social drivers of this disconnect is vital on a planet now dominated by environmental change, as not only are humans increasingly impacted by natural disasters, but the choices they make can have ever more dire consequences for the sustainability of ecosystems.

“…The ESV equivalent method, which is based on the current scale developed by experts, has some credibility. Based on this method, China has studied ESV from the scale of river basins (Liu et al, 2023), urban agglomerations (Gong et al, 2023), provinces and cities (Normyle et al, 2023), the country (Sharma et al, 2023), etc. At present, the use of an economic value assessment mainly follows the ESV assessment model established by Costanza et al According to the actual situation in China, Xie Gaodi et al developed a table of ecological service value per unit area based on this model, which has been widely used (Jia et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2020).…”

Desert areas of China have important ecological functions, so analyzing changing characteristics of ecosystem service values in this region is important for sustainable development. Using land use change data for desert areas from 1978 to 2022, this paper combined the equivalent factor method and the actual situation of the study area to revise value coefficients of ecosystem services and study characteristics of land use and ecosystem service value changes after reform and opening up. The results showed that after reform and opening up, the area of plow, water, and other lands in the study area decreased, while grassland, forest, construction land, and sandy land increased. The conversion of a land use type mainly occurred as conversion of grassland and other lands to other land use types. The value of ecosystem services increased, increasing by 19.63 × 108 CNY. From the perspective of land use type in 2022, the ecosystem service value of grassland was the highest, reaching 12.19 × 108 CNY, an increase of 11.73 × 108 CNY compared with the early stage of reform and opening up. From the perspective of ecosystem service types in 2022, the value of maintaining soil ecological services was the highest, reaching 3.07 × 108 CNY, an increase of 2.97 × 108 CNY compared with the beginning of reform and opening up. From the perspective of the ecological sensitivity index, the sensitivity index results for the ecosystem service value in the study area were all <1, and the research results were credible. From the perspective of the land ecological coordination degree, the overall land ecological coordination degree in the study area was at a moderate coordination level, indicating that land use change did not lead to environmental deterioration, but there was a crisis. Therefore, increasing and maintaining ecological land is the key to improving ESV in the study area.
