Ecological effects analysis of land use change in coal mining area based on ecosystem service valuing: a case study in Jiawang

Effects of urbanization on ecosystem service values in a mineral resource-based city

“…Direct emissions of all these untreated pollutants would destroy the regional ecological environment. Specifically, the burning of coal, oil, natural gas and other mineral resources results in emission of large amounts of surplus heat (Bian & Lu, 2013). The burning of these materials also produces carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides gas that cause the greenhouse effect and despair the air quality.…”

“…Therefore, this process often results in an increase in high pollution industries such as mining and chemical industry (Bian & Lu, 2013). In the production process, the direct emissions of industrial waste gas, waste water, and solid waste reduce regional air quality and water quality, destroy the structure of soil and vegetation, cause a series of ecological environment problems, and damage the circulation process of ecosystem health.…”

“…Moreover, most of the existing literature focuses on studying watershed, forest, and wetland from the perspective of theoretical and quantitative research (Sridhar & Wan, 2014). However, there are only several studies that choose mineral resources areas to evaluate ecosystem service value and examine the relationship between urbanization and ecosystem service (Bian & Lu, 2013). To fill this gap, we consider in this paper a mineral resources area as the research object to explore the general rule of urbanization in mining areas and how that impacts ecosystem service values.…”

Recognition of Landscape Key Areas in a Coal Mine Area of a Semi-Arid Steppe in China: A Case Study of Yimin Open-Pit Coal Mine

“…These factors have seriously hindered the normal functioning of prairie ecosystems, leading to remarkably rapid landscape-level pattern changes [10]. In Inner Mongolia, local ecosystems have been seriously threatened by the reduced connectivity associated with landscape fragmentation caused by coal mining activities [11]. Thus, the ecological issues at both local and landscape levels associated with coal mining deserve careful investigation.…”

Gis-Based Evaluation and Prediction of Ecological Situation in the Coal Mining Areas With a Critical Technogenic Impact

“…Для комплексной оценки экологической ситуации используется подход, основанный на индексе экосистемных услуг (Ecosystem Service Value, ESV). Сам индекс и его изменения во времени рассчитывается средствами ГИС-технологий, с использованием многолетнего ряда космических снимков LANDSAT, топографических карт и данных об источниках загрязнения [Bian and Lu, 2013]. В результате создаётся объективная картина пространственно-временных изменений состояния экосистем и характера землепользования.…”
