Abstract

This paper presents an analysis on change of spatial pattern of land use types and its influences on ecosystem services value. The study area was Wuchuan County in Inner Mongolia Municipality. Based on land use type maps of 1980 s, 1995 and 2000, changes of land use types and transition matrix were firstly obtained. Then landscape pattern indices were developed by Fragstats. Next, ecosystem service values of the three phases were calculated through ecosystem service value formula by constanza and China ecosystem service value indices by Xie Gaodi. At last, analysis on the relationship between changes of land use types and ecosystem service values were done.
