“…Ecosystem service values (ESVs) are the values of the contributions of ESs to the sustainability of human well-being [5] . The growing body of literature on ESV includes studies on the value generated by ecosystems [6] , [7] , changes in ESVs in response to changes in land use [8] , [9] , climate change [10] , [11] , approaches and models for assessing ESV [12] , [13] , and other factors [14] , [15] .…”

Changes in land use can cause significant changes in the ecosystem structure and process variation of ecosystem services. This study presents a detailed spatial, quantitative assessment of the variation in the value of ecosystem services based on land use change in national nature reserves of the Ningxia autonomous region in China. We used areas of land use types calculated from the remote sensing data and the adjusted value coefficients to assess the value of ecosystem services for the years 2000, 2005, and 2010, analyzing the fluctuations in the valuation of ecosystem services in response to land use change. With increases in the areas of forest land and water bodies, the value of ecosystem services increased from 182.3×107 to 223.8×107 US$ during 2000–2010. Grassland and forest land accounted for 90% of this increase. The values of all ecosystem services increased during this period, especially the value of ecosystem services for biodiversity protection and soil formation and protection. Ecological restoration in the reserves had a positive effect on the value of ecosystem services during 2000–2010.

“…The 8%-10% annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate during the past 30 years has been accompanied with an urbanization rate growth from 18% in 1978 to 45% in 2007 [3]. One of the OPEN ACCESS ecological consequences of dramatic urban growth and land use conversion is the significant decrease of urban vegetation and increase of the land surface temperature (LST) in the summer [4][5][6].…”

Abstract:The coupling relationship between urban vegetation and land surface temperature (LST) has been heatedly debated in a variety of environmental studies. This paper studies the urban vegetation information and LST by utilizing a series of remote sensing imagery covering the period from 1990 to 2007. Their coupling relationship is analyzed, in order to provide the basis for ecological planning and environment protection. The results show that the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), urban vegetation abundance (UVA) and urban forest abundance (UFA) are negatively correlated with LST, which means that both urban vegetation and urban forest are capable in decreasing LST. The apparent influence of urban vegetation and urban forest on LST varies with the spatial resolution of the imagery, and peaks at the resolutions ranging from 90 m to 120 m.

“…In previous studies, both quantitative and qualitative, on the coordination degree between the economy and environment ( EE ) and the economic and environmental coordination development degree ( EECD ) [1][2][3][4], Yang [5] use the coordination degree as a quantitative indicator to measure the harmonizing degree of systems or factors. Wang and Jiang [2] find that the coordinated development degree measures the interactive coupling development degree of systems or factors and that reflects the overall coordinated development of systems or factors, which includes systems' or factors' coordination conditions (viz. )…”

This study selects 20 indices of economic and environmental conditions over 15 years (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010) for 14 cities in Liaoning province, China. We calculate the economic score F and environmental score G of each city by processing 4200 data points through SPSS 16.0 and establish synthesis functions between the economy and the environment. For the time dimension, we study the temporal evolution of the economic and environmental coordination development degree ( EECD ). Based on Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) techniques and using GeoDa, we calculate Moran's index of local spatial autocorrelation and explore the spatial distribution character of EECD in Liaoning province through a LISA cluster map. As we found in the temporal dimension, the results show that EECD of the 14 cities has been rising for 15 years and that EECD increases year by year, which indicates that the economic and environmental coordination development condition has been improving from disorder to highly coordinated. A smaller gap between economic strength and environmental carrying capacity in Liaoning province exists, which means that economic development and environmental protection remain synchronized. In the spatial dimension, the highly coordinated cities have changed from a scattering to a concentration in the middle-south region of Liaoning province. Poorly coordinated cities are scattered in the northwestern region of Liaoning province.
