The ecosystem service value of different land types on Ximen Island in Zhejiang Province is measured using 2012 WorldView-2 satellite remote sensing data and the Chinese terrestrial ecosystem services value table. The spatial distribution of ecosystem services was also studied via geo-statistics and the spatial analysis functions of ArcGIS. The results show that the ecosystem services of Ximen Island are worth 149.557 million Yuan in total. The ecological services displayed obvious spatial heterogeneity. Among the value of individual ecosystem services, mudflat wetlands and woodland occupy a major position with values reaching 136.034 million Yuan and 7.445 million Yuan, respectively. These two services accounted for 90.96% and 4.97% of the total value. The construction land, bare land, and idle land contributed much less to the total. The results indicate that the functional orientation of Ximen Island as a National Marine Specially Protected Area is being fulfilled.

Abstract


The ecosystem service value of different land types on Ximen Island in Zhejiang Province is measured using 2012 WorldView-2 satellite remote sensing data and the Chinese terrestrial ecosystem services value table. The spatial distribution of ecosystem services was also studied via geo-statistics and the spatial analysis functions of ArcGIS. The results show that the ecosystem services of Ximen Island are worth 149.557 million Yuan in total. The ecological services displayed obvious spatial heterogeneity. Among the value of individual ecosystem services, mudflat wetlands and woodland occupy a major position with values reaching 136.034 million Yuan and 7.445 million Yuan, respectively. These two services accounted for 90.96% and 4.97% of the total value. The construction land, bare land, and idle land contributed much less to the total. The results indicate that the functional orientation of Ximen Island as a National Marine Specially Protected Area is being fulfilled.
