Review of Hydrological Models Used to Assess Ecosystem Services
Assessment of ecosystem services is among the current research hotspots in ecology and ecological economics,and quantifying the value of ecosystem services is crucial for assessment.Mod-els are an important tool for simulating and predicting ecosystem services and in this study,we re-viewed the application of hydrological models for assessing ecosystem service.Firstly,we elaborated the connotation and characterization requirements of ecosystem hydrological services,sorted out the relationship between the output indicators of hydrological models and the water-related ecosystem,and clarified the types of ecosystem services that can be supported by hydrological models.Secondly,we systematically summarized the progress in the application of various hydrological models in evalu-ating ecosystem hydrological services,including provisioning services,regulating services,cultural ser-vices and supporting services,and explored the differences among different hydrological models in terms of their principles,output indicators,temporal and spatial scales,and the types of ecosystem services they can assess.In particular,we highlighted the application of hydrological models for pre-dicting changes in ecosystem hydrological services,exploring the mechanisms underlying these servic-es,and the management of watershed services.Finally,development directions for promoting the ap-plication of hydrological models were put forward from the perspective of ecosystem services,includ-ing changing the calculation mode of models,revolutionizing the parameter rating approach,integrat-ing beneficiary modules,and strengthening the coupling between models.
