Do Ecosystem Service Value Increase and Environmental Quality Improve due to Large–Scale Ecological Water Conveyance in an Arid Region of China?

Abstract: With the rapid development of the economy and the intensification of human activities, ecological systems have been degraded, especially in arid areas. The lower reaches of the Tarim River represent a typical arid area in China. Since 2000, the Chinese government has been heavily investing in the protection and restoration of the natural ecological environment of the lower reaches of the Tarim River. In this study, we aimed to resolve two key scientific issues: (1) reveal the changing characteristics of land-u… Show more

“…Moreover, researchers tend to adopt different methods in their research, but no method is immune from disadvantages [3]. For example, in the equivalent value method, the variation in the standard equivalence factor in spatial and temporal scales is not considered in most studies or roughly rectified with various methods [3,25,26]. The energy value conversion rate adopted in different studies is very different when using the energy value conversion method [27], making it not useful for comparing the evaluation results from different studies.…”

“…Ecosystem services present a high degree of spatial heterogeneity and dynamism. The international experiences of ecological services focus on water resources, water conservation, and disaster mitigation based on integrated river basin management, land and water resources use, and economic policy design [16,17] to analyze relationships between economic development and ecological services, upstream protection and downstream development, agricultural development, and land-use scenarios with associated impacts on ecosystems [18][19][20][21].…”
