2 Projects in Southwest China Contents

3 INTRODUCTION 1/24 Projects in Southwest China CONCEPTION FUNCTION IMPORTANCE

4 2/24 INTRODUCTION Projects in Southwest China ErHai Lake Eastern Tibetan Plateau Jiuzhaigou World Natural Heritage Key scientific problems: Temporal and spatial variations of ecosystem service; Relationship between ecosystem services; The driving factors of the ES changes; VS key techniques: Temporal and spatial valuation; Quantitative evaluation ; Trade-off evaluation ; Scenario analysis;

5 3/24 ErHai Lake The second largest plateau freshwater lake in Yunnan Province The seventh largest freshwater lake in China National Nature Reserve Romantic city, rich in tourism resources(wind, flower, snow and moon) (25 25 N N, E E)

6 4/24 Method

7 5/24 Result Ecosystem service Value Type Value 10 8 CNY % of TEV Provisioning service Agricultural production Direct Economic Values Fishery production Direct Economic Values Water supply Direct Economic Values Hydroelectric power generation Direct Economic Values Animal husbandry production Direct Economic Values Forest products Direct Economic Values Supporting service Production of raw materials Direct Economic Values Nutrient storage Indirect Economic Values Biodiversity Indirect Economic Values Carbon fixation and oxygen release Indirect Economic Values Regulating service Water conservation Indirect Economic Values Soil conservation Indirect Economic Values Atmospheric purification Indirect Economic Values Water purification Indirect Economic Values Flood diversion and storage Indirect Economic Values Cultural service Scientific research culture Indirect Economic Values Tourism and entertainment Indirect Economic Values Total Economic Value (TEV)

8 6/24 Conclusion The total ES economic value of Erhai Lake Basin is CNY , 1.41 times of the GDP (CNY ) of this administrative region in 2014; Provisioning, supporting, regulatory and cultural service of Erhai Lake Basin accounts for %, 4.75 %, % and %, separately; Erhai lake basin possesses unique and important values in tourism and culture, but provides huge indirect value from its regulation services.

9 7/24 Eastern Tibetan Plateau The ETP region Aba Prefecture Ganzi prefecture Gannan prefecture The ecological barrier of the Yangtze River and the upper reaches of the Yellow River; Best grassland in HKH area and one of the three major forest areas in China; A barometer of global climate change in the future

10 8/24 Importance Ecological barrier The importance level is rated as "very high Biodiversity hot spots Ramsar wetlands of inte rnational importance Ecological issues Landscape fragmentation Ecologically vulnerable Overgrazing, overcultivation, deforestation Required Sustainable development Scientific management ES assessment

Besides, the changing spatial distribution is similar with the climate change pattern in both three ES types studied.

16 14/24 Conclusion The total quantity of ES reduced in all the three scenarios, the annual ES change was scenario II<scenario III<scenario I and the periodical characteristics are present in this region; The ES change spatial distribution varied with different climate change patterns and land use transfer directions; The ES composition of each ecosystem varied with different driving scenarios and different responses of forest and wetland on climate change and land use changes were observed. Moreover, the trade-off under land use change and climate change respectively was observed in this study.

19 17/24 Provisioning service Soil conservation Water conservation Habitat quality YEAR Crop production (10 5 t) Carbon storage Oxygen release Water Yield (10 8 m 3 ) Soil conservation Air purification (10 4 t) Dust conservation (10 3 t)

20 18/24 YEAR Provisioning service Supporting service Regulating service Cultural service In total From 1990 to 2015,the TEV decreased from 54.9 to billion Yuan, PS & RS declined 14.92%,9.12%, respectively. Tourism revenue increased from 0.05% to 1.91%, and the proportion of tourist ticket income increased yearly. The ES besides tourism decreased in the past 25 years, but can be divided into two phases.

21 19/24 YEAR Crop production (10 5 t) Carbon storage Oxygen release Water Yield (10 8 m 3 ) Soil conservation Air purification (10 4 t) Dust conservation (10 3 t) Provisioning service Soil conservation Water conservation Habitat quality In the past 25 years, there is little change in the total amount of ES quality in this scenario, and each service is much higher than other 2 scenarios.

22 20/24 Provisioning service Soil conservation Water conservation Habitat quality YEAR Crop production (10 5 t) Carbon storage Oxygen release Water Yield (10 8 m 3 ) Soil conservation Air purification (10 4 t) Dust conservation (10 3 t) The change tendency of the scenario3 is similar with the scenario1, and much lower than other scenarios in total amount.

23 21/24 Conclusion As the temperature is rising, the spatial pattern of ES is similar to the spatial pattern of precipitation change. The impact of land use change on ES of Jiuzhaigou is not obvious, due to the less disturbance in the protected area. The trade-off under land use change and climate change respectively was observed in this study.

25 23/24 Index Quantity (10 5 t) Value (10 4 Yuan) Land use Crop production Carbon storage Oxygen release Water Yield Soil conservation Air purification Dust conservation Forest wetland Habitat quality Forest wetland It is estimated that the ES value loss of forest and wetland in the core area of Jiuzhaigou scenic area is million Yuan and billion Yuan, respectively. Of which the loss of soil conservation, water conservation and biodiversity accounts for a large proportion.
