- Abstract:
-
Based on land use data from 1980s, 1995, 2000 and 2005 representing the initial stage of Reforming and Opening Policy, before and after the Returning Farmland to Forest/Grass Project respectively, land use degree and ecosystem service values in Shaanxi Province were assessed with the help of ArcGIS. SPSS was also used in order to explore the effect of land use degree on ecosystem service values. The results showed that land use degree index of Shaanxi Province increased before Returning Farmland to Forest/Grass and decreased after it compared with the initial stage of Reforming and Opening, while the total value of ecosystem service decreased firstly and then kept on increasing. The linear fitting test showed that the absolute value of correlation coefficient between land use degree index and ecosystem service values per unit area was greater than 0.7, which reflected the negative correlation between them.
