Evaluation of Ecosystem Service Change Patterns in a Mining-Based City: A Case Study of Wu’an City

To coordinate the economy and environment in mining cities, it is critical to understand ecological effects of land use/cover change (LUCC). Therefore, we selected a typical city analyze LUCC-driven ecosystem service changes. In this study, first used equivalent factor method calculate services valuation (ESV) Wu’an verified rationality ESV coefficient through sensitivity index. Secondly, ArcGIS was spatial value explore reasons for change. Finally, autocorrelation index calculated aggregation characteristics ESV. The results showed that (1) between 2009 2018, total decreased by USD 7.41 million, mainly due conversion cropland construction land. (2) individual contributed most were waste disposal, water conservation, soil conservation. pollution caused development has reduced disposal function, reduction body area been main limiting conservation function. (3) areas with significant changes concentrated east-north direction, where resources widely distributed, near central city. Furthermore, there relatively small losses north-west which related protection influenced topographical factors less anthropogenic disturbance. (4) their dynamics exhibited obvious high-low (HL) clustering Wu’an. high-value low-value dissolved penetrated each other, low-high (LH) HL scattered. mostly shown strips, as they locations bodies. This study crucial cities maintain stability sustainable development, provide scientific basis use management decision makers regulate more precisely.
