Abstract EN
Ecosystem services are the benefit human populations derive directly and indirectly from the natural environment.
They suffer from both the human intervention, like land use zoning change, and natural intervention, like the climate change.
Under the background of climate change, regulation services of ecosystem could be strengthened under proper land use zoning policy to mitigate the climate change.
In this paper, a case study was conducted in the middle reaches of the Heihe River Basin to assess the ecosystem services conservation zoning under the change of land use associated with climate variations.
The research results show the spatial impact of land use zoning on ecosystem services in the study area which are significant reference for the spatial optimization of land use zoning in preserving the key ecosystem services to mitigate the climate change.
The research contributes to the growing literature in finely characterizing the ecosystem services zones altered by land use change to alleviate the impact of climate change, as there is no such systematic ecosystem zoning method before.
