“…Ecosystem service level is gradually being restored and the ESV gradually increasing, which shows that the increased restoration of forestland, grassland and other ecological land can significantly improve the level of ecosystem services. This conclusion is in accordance with the findings of Liu et al [68]. The results also show that forestland, grassland, and other ecological land use types are the main contributors to the ESV in the YRB, mainly because the areas of forestland and grassland in the basin are large and the increase in the ESV of forestland and grassland determines the increase in the overall ESV in the YRB.…”

Land use change plays a crucial role in global environmental change. Understanding the mode and land use change procedure is conducive to improving the quality of the global eco-environment and promoting the harmonized development of human–land relationships. Large river basins play an important role in areal socioeconomic development. The Yellow River Basin (YRB) is an important ecological protective screen, economic zone, and major grain producing area in China, which faces challenges with respect to ecological degradation and water and sediment management. Simulating the alterations in ecosystem service value (ESV) owing to land use change in the YRB under multiple scenarios is of great importance to guaranteeing the ecological security of the basin and improve the regional ESV. According to the land use data of 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2018, the alterations in the land use and ESV in the YRB over the past 30 years were calculated and analyzed on the basis of six land use types: cultivated land, forestland, grassland, water area, built-up land, and unused land. The patch-generating land use simulation (PLUS) model was used to simulate the land use change in the study area under three scenarios (natural development, cultivated land protection, and ecological protection in 2026); estimate the ESV under each scenario; and conduct a comparative analysis. We found that the land use area in the YRB changed significantly during the study period. The ESV of the YRB has slowly increased by ~USD 15 billion over the past 30 years. The ESV obtained under the ecological protection scenario is the highest. The simulation of the YRB’s future land use change, and comparison and analysis of the ESV under different scenarios, provide guidance and a scientific basis for promoting ecological conservation and high-quality development of river basins worldwide.

“…Land-use change has a quantifiable impact on the ESV. The implementation of the GGP effectively changed the ESV of farmland, forestland, and grassland in the region [5,40]. Table 8 shows that, as the project was implemented, the area of farmland was gradually reduced, the ESV was considerably lowered, and it shifted from 0.18% before project implementation to 7.36% after project implementation.…”

“…As the largest ecological restoration project in the world, the GGP can alleviate the contradiction between the ecological environment and human activities by changing land-use types and landscape patterns and repairing ecosystem service functions and structures [30][31][32][33]. To evaluate the effects of GPP, several scholars conducted numerous tests and provided discussions on grain production [34,35], soil carbon sequestration capacity [36], ESV [37,38], land use [39,40], vegetation change [41], and other aspects. Evaluating the implementation effect of the GGP from the perspective of the ESV can provide scientific and reasonable policy suggestions for further project implementation.…”

The Grain for Green Project (GGP) has influenced Shaanxi Province’s land-use pattern, resulting in a shift in ecosystem service value (ESV). Exploring the spatial and temporal evolution of the pattern of land use and ESV in Shaanxi Province, before and after the project’s implementation, can give a theoretical foundation for regional land-use planning. For this study, we used the transfer matrix and the value equivalent approaches to investigate the influence of project implementation on the spatial distribution and evolution of patterns of land use and ESV in Shaanxi Province based on four periods of land-use data from 1990 to 2020. The results suggest the following: (1) Farmland, forestland, and grassland were the most common land-types in Shaanxi Province. Farmland, forestland, and grassland in Shaanxi Province were all altered dramatically over the research period due to the GGP. Farmland was turned mostly into forestland and grassland, and forestland and grassland areas progressively grew. (2) The ESVs in Shaanxi Province were USD 3802.82, 3814.90, 3836.20, and 3806.50 billion in 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020, respectively. The most value was supplied by hydrological management, while water resources provided the lowest value. Forestland and grassland were the most valuable land-types in high-value locations, whereas built-up land was the most valuable land-type in low-value areas. (3) While the GGP has increased the ESV of forestland and grassland, it has harmed the acreage of other land-types, resulting in a decline in the total ESV in Shaanxi Province.

A better understanding of the dynamic variation in the ecosystem service value (ESV) under land use/cover change (LUCC) is conductive to improving ecosystem services and environmental protection. The present study took Landsat TM/ETM remote sensing images and socio-economic statistic data as data sources and extracted land-use data using RS and GIS technology at 5-year intervals from 1990 to 2020. Then, we interpreted the spatio-temporal characteristics of LUCC and analyzed ESV changes using the value equivalence method in the black soil region of northeastern China (BSRNC). The main results showed that land use changed significantly during the study period. Cultivated land continued to expand, especially paddy areas, which increased by 1.72 × 106 ha, with a relative change of 60.9% over 30 years. However, grassland decreased by 2.47 × 106 ha, with a relative change of −60.6% over 30 years. The ESV showed a declining trend, which decreased by CNY 607.96 million during 1990–2020. The decline in forest and grassland caused a significant decline in the ESV. Furthermore, the ESV sensitivity coefficients were less than one for all of the different categories of ecosystem services. LUCC has a considerable impact on ESV in the BSRNC, resulting in ecosystem function degradation. As a result, future policies must emphasize the relationship between food security and environmental protection in situations of significant land-use change.
