Ecosystem service values of gardens in the Yellow River Basin, China

Studies on the ecosystem service value (ESV) of gardens are critical for informing evidence-based land management practices based an understanding local ecosystem. By analyzing equivalent factors (EVFs), this paper evaluated values 11 services in Yellow River Basin China 2019. High-precision use survey data were used to improve accuracy classification, garden areas, and spatial distribution ESVs gardens. The results showed that generally had high ESVs, especially terms ESV food production, which is worthy further research application practice planning management. Specifically, one standard EVF 2019 was 3587.04 CNY/(hm2·a), production much higher than croplands. Garden provided 1348.66×108 CNY/a Basin. areas with most concentrated located four regions: downstream Shandong-Henan zone along River, mid-stream Shanxi-Shaanxi Weihe Basin, upstream Qinghai-Gansu-Ningxia-Inner Mongolia River. correlation basin significant (global autocorrelation index Moran’s I=0.464), implied characteristics adjacent low prominent. In contribution environment economy varied across regions. We also put forward some suggestions promoting construction ecological civilization findings study provide important contributions evaluation
