Research on the Valuation of Wetland Ecological Products based on Environmental Replacement Cost Method

Abstract

With the contradiction between economy and environmental resources becoming more and more prominent, people gradually realize that human development should live in harmony with nature. To maintain the balance between human and nature and promote the sustainable development of economy and society has become an issue of great significance at present. This paper focuses on the regional wetland ecological resources in China, and analyzes the path to realize the value of wetland ecological products by constructing the value accounting index system of wetland ecological products. The purpose is to explore the value of wetland ecological products more scientifically and rationally, and strengthen people's protection and attention to the wetland ecosystem. This paper fully considers the actual cost and opportunity cost in the process of ecological resource management and protection, and uses the environmental replacement cost method to calculate and analyze the value of ecological products in a typical case of Yancheng wetland. The results show that the total value of wetland ecological products in Yancheng City is 221.18 billion yuan, of which the main value of wetland ecological products is climate regulation and coastal protection functions.
