Abstract:
The study of land use and land cover (LULC) change and the evolution of ecosystem service values (ESV) is important for optimizing the allocation of regional land resources and achieving sustainable development, but traditional land use analysis methods cannot dig deeper into the information on the internal transitions between different land types. Therefore, in this paper, the author uses the component analysis and Intensity Analysis methods to systematically analyze the land use landscape changes at multiple levels. In addition, the spatial and temporal dynamic characteristics of ESV in the Xiangjiang River Basin are carved with the help of equivalence factors and GIS spatial analysis methods, which reveal the response of ESV changes to land use changes in the Xiangjiang River Basin in the past four decades. The study results provide important knowledge to inform land use decisions and facilitate sustainable development in the Xiangjiang River Basin.
