Abstract

Based on the classification method on natural capital ecological services from Costanza(1997), this paper evaluates the ecosystem services value of China in 2010. The result shows that total value is 12 139.12 billion RMB per year, and increased by 45.69% from 1994. The values of each subsystem have also corresponding changes. By analyzing the changes and driving factors of ecosystem services, this paper is contribute to building the value accounting system for natural ecosystem services, to developing the ecological civilization and to investigating the ecosystem service function and value evaluation.
