Abstract:

Based on land use data in 2000 and 2008, with the Costanza’s method and the coefficients proposed by Gao-di Xie, this paper examined the effects of land use change on ecosystem services value from the perspective of ecosystem services. Results indicated that the cultivated land and water area have decreased largely with the rapid increase of construction land. The ecosystem services value of Beijing has decreased by 518.244 million yuan, with the annual percent change of 4.87%.From the Perspective of Space，Miyun County、Huairou District and the central area of Beijing have the maximal value, and Tongzhou District、Shunyi District and Daxing District have the least value. The change of land use structure determines the changes of ecosystem structure and function. As a result, ecosystem services value is recommended to be taken into account in the formulation of land use planning, especially the conservation of water and woodland of high coefficients of ecosystem services value in order to achieve sustainable development of Beijing.
