Study on the Impact of Land Use Change on Ecosystem Services in the Water Source Area of the Middle Route Project of S-N Water Diversion

Abstract

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project, a major project in China, is of great significance to alleviate the shortage of water resources in the north, and the ecological environment in the middle water source area has the most critical impact on water quality safety. As a natural resource and asset, ecosystem services in the water source area of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project not only provide important resources and services for human beings but also are the necessary basis for the survival and development of other organisms on the earth.As an integral part of the earth’s economy, the value of ecosystem services in the water source area of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project directly or indirectly contributes to human welfare. Scientific use of land resources can promote the upgrading and transformation of ecosystem services in the water source area of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Based on this, this paper focuses on the impact of land use change on ecosystem services in the water source area of the middle route of South-to-North Water Diversion and its prevention strategies.
