The Economic Value of Ecosystem Services in Pudacuo National Park, China

Abstract

The paper discusses the economic value of ecosystem services provided by a forest in China's Pudacuo National Park, focusing on services such as soil retention, nutrient preservation, water conservation, carbon sequestration, and air purification. Among these, carbon sequestration, water conservation, and forest health are identified as particularly valuable. The study underscores the importance of this information for governments in making decisions about compensating for the protection of these critical natural areas.
