Using a Catchment Water Quality Model to Quantify the Value of an Ecosystem Service
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of catchment modelling tools has gained considerable momentum through the Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology’s Catchment Modelling Toolkit. This repository of models (see www.toolkit.net.au) allows the modeller to select the most appropriate tools with which to best represent their catchment and associated constituent processes. While this has improved the ability to predict catchment runoff and pollutant loads, it has also presented an opportunity to use these tools in ways they may not have been initially designed for.

Gross primary productivity is one of the most important factors in the carbon cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. With global warming increase, the frequent drought events and the specific response of regional vegetation to these changes, it is essential to identify and quantify the relationships between climatic and GPP data in arid region. In this study, the responses of gross primary productivi...
متن کاملAnnual Water Yield Estimation for Different Land Uses by GIS-Based InVEST Model (Case Study: Mish-khas Catchment, Ilam Province, Iran)
Fresh water supply and its security encounter a high level of fluctuating variability under global climate changes. To address these concerns in catchment water management, a good understanding of land use/cover impacts on the hydrological cycle affecting water supply is crucial. The objective of this study is to define a model to investigate the impact of existing land use/cover on water yield...

The impacts of land utilization change on the ecosystem service values in Daqing during 1995 to 2015 were analyzed based on unit area ecosystem service value of Chinese territorial ecosystem from Mr. Xie Gaodi and ecosystem service value calculation formula from Costanza. Results showed that the ecosystem service value of Daqing decreased from US $4343.1559m in 1995 to US $3824.327m in 2015, wi...
