To reveal the impacts of ecological restoration measures on ecosystem services and contribute to scientific policy-makings for the ecological management in arid and semi-arid area, based on the land use data of Bashang area in the period 2000—2018 and four future land use scenarios, this study quantified and mapped the changes in land use and three important ecosystem services(water conservation, carbon storage, and habitat quality)in different scenarios using InVEST model. The results showed that:(1)during 2000—2018, the land use changes were characterized by grassland shrinkage and woodland expansion(>500 km2); at the same period, water conservation moderately decreased by approximately 7.03%, and carbon storage and habitat quality slightly increased by 2.82% and 1.29%, respectively;(2)compared with base scenario, riparian woodland buffer and planting trees scenarios performed worse than reclaiming wasteland and integrated development scenarios on ecosystem services provisions;(3)the trade-offs and synergies among three ecosystem services showed that there were strong synergy relationships between water conservation and habitat quality, as well as carbon storage and habitat quality(r>0.42). Besides, there was a low positive correlation between water conservation and carbon storage(r<0.24). Overall, ecological restoration measures played an important role in enhancing the ecosystem services in the Bashang area, but afforestation-driven ecological restoration in the arid and semi-arid area should be carried out with extreme caution.
