“…According to the different types of Lotus Lake wetland ecosystem services, the market value, benefit transfer, shadow engineering, carbon tax, and travel cost were calculated. Finally, the evaluation index system [ 22 , 23 ] of the LLNWP ecosystem services function value was determined ( Table 2 ).…”

The valuation of wetland ecosystem services and the construction of environmental landscapes are generally recognized as contributing to the sustainable development of human wellbeing. The valuation of ecosystem services plays an important role in planning for the recovery of degraded wetlands and in urban wetland park management; however, the role of the valuation of ecosystem services is always ignored. To bring more intuitive awareness to the importance of the ecological functions of wetlands and to rationally plan wetland parks, the Lotus Lake National Wetland Park (LLNWP), an urban wetland park in Northeast China, was selected as the study area. We referred to the millennium ecosystem assessment (MA) method and calculated the valuation of this park using the market value, benefit transfer, shadow engineering, carbon tax, and travel cost. ArcGIS was used for remote sensing interpretation. The research results were as follows. LLNWP was classified under seven types of land-use. The functions of the ecosystem services included provisioning, regulating, supporting, and cultural services, and their total value in LLNWP was 11.68×108 CNY. Regarding the per-unit area value of the ecological service functions of different land types, it was found that forest swamp > herbaceous swamp > artificial wetland > permanent river > floodplain wetland. Combined with the characteristics of the functions of its ecosystem’s services, LLNWP was divided into ecological and socio-cultural functions. Then, according to the main service functions of the different land types, we propose that the space in LLNWP can be reused, and proposal planning and management suggestions can be made with the aim of preserving the basic functions.

“…In recent decades, many ecological problems have been arisen in the Greater Khingan Mountains, such as soil erosion, water shortage, and habitat degradation (Mao et al, 2014). Based on previous studies and field research, we chose 4 key forest ecosystem services: NPP, soil conservation, water conservation, and habitat quality, which are highly relevant to the stakeholders in this area (Mao et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2022).…”

“…The Greater Khingan Mountains are boreal forests and are necessary ecological barriers in northern China. They also play an essential role in net primary productivity (NPP), soil conservation, water conservation, and habitat quality (Mao et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2022). To protect the ecological environment, the Chinese government has implemented the NFCP since 2000.…”

Spatiotemporal changes of ecosystem service trade-offs under the influence of forest conservation project in Northeast China

Trade-offs between ecosystem services are measures of the degree to which the changing differences between the individual ecosystem services. Although changes in ecosystem service trade-offs are critical for forest ecosystem management, spatiotemporal changes in trade-offs are currently less studied, especially under the influence of ecological engineering implementation. Therefore this study explored the spatiotemporal changes and drivers of ecosystem service trade-offs in various forest types following the implementation of the natural forest conservation project (NFCP), with the example of the Greater Khingan Mountains. Spatial analyses, and root mean square error (RMSE) were applied to investigate spatiotemporal changes in trade-offs, and geodetector was employed to assess their driving factors. The results indicated that among all ecosystem service pairs from 1990 to 2020, the trade-offs between habitat quality and net primary productivity (NPP), NPP and soil conservation showed a growing trend. However, the trade-offs between habitat quality and water conservation, NPP and water conservation, and soil conservation and water conservation showed a declining trend. The ecosystem service trade-offs of coniferous (0.47) were higher than either broad-leaved (0.37) or shrubs (0.28). Moreover, changes in the ecosystem service trade-offs of all kinds of forests were spatially heterogeneous. The drivers with the greatest explanatory power in coniferous, broad-leaved, and shrubs were land use (22.68%), land use (15.19%), and NDVI (20.63%), respectively. Environmental factors contributed great mean explanatory power (62.27–71.67%) to the trade-offs than anthropogenic activity factors. Therefore, spatiotemporal changes and drivers of trade-offs in different forests should be contemplated when conducting subsequent ecological restoration programs in the future.

“…The Altay Mountain, in northwest China, is rich in forest resources and mineral deposits and is an important mineral base of Xinjiang [13]. The Two-River (Ertish River and Ulungur River) Source Nature Reserve (TSNR) in the Altai Mountains has already become a severely damaged area due to the blind exploitation of mineral resources over the past few decades.…”

Ecological restoration of abandoned mining areas in the Altay Mountain, northwest China, has always been considered a challenging issue due to the wide restoration area and serious devastation. To examine the restoration effects of the experimental measures carried out by our research team in an abandoned mining area in the Altay Mountain since 2010, short-term (2 years) and long-term (9 years) restoration efficiency of two types of supplementary planting measures, sowing commercial seeds (M1) and sowing soil seed banks (M2), were analyzed by calculating the vegetation growth indexes, soil–rock ratio, soil bulk density, and soil moisture content. Results show that both supplementary planting methods can significantly improve the growth status of surface vegetation, which is reflected by the variation of vegetation growth indices. The short-term restoration effect of M1 on vegetation is faster but, over time, the effect of M2 was more prominent. Restoration effects of the M2 on the soil condition were more significant at 30–40 cm of the soil layer, reflected in the higher soil–rock ratio, which is 7.2%. The water storage function of soil has significantly improved under both supplementary planting methods; the remediation effect of method M1 on the soil bulk density is mainly reflected in the surface layer, while the effect of method M2 on the soil bulk density is reflected in deeper (40–50 cm) layer. The results of this study would be helpful to explore the new practices for the restoration of mining areas.
