Effects of Grain for Green on Regional Ecosystem Service Values Changes in Mudanjiang City
Long-term deforestation and reclamation induced serious soil erosion and fast forest degradation in Mudanjiang. The Eco-environment vulnerability there increased and the Grain for Green was executed in 1999 in order to improve the environment. Firstly we obtained the dynamic Land use change data of 2000 and 2008, which respectively represented the ]and use before and after the Grain for Green project. Secondly we mainly discussed the effects of land use changes on Ecosystem Services Values and at the end we carried out Coefficient of Sensitivity analysis. The results indicated that the dry farmland area decreased drastically, for about 812. 27 km2;while, the other land use types increased more or less. The forest increased obviously, for about 701.36 km2. Other more, the land use transformation matrix indicated that the transformation between dry farmland and forest toke place quite frequently. It showed that deforestation and reclamation till existed during the Grain for Green. Relevant departments should take out some measurements to consolidate the achievements of Grain for Green to promote regional sustainable development.
