Research progress in evaluating the value of watershed ecosystem services
Using the literature published at home and abroad from 2003 to 2022 as a data source,CiteSpace soft-ware was used to scientifically and metrologically analyze the relevant literature in the field of watershed ecosys-tem service valuation.The results show that:(1)The research on valuation of ecosystem services in watersheds shows a good development trend in general,and the theme is deepening,but the authors and organizations in this field have not yet formed a large-scale cooperative network.(2)The research hotspots of watershed ecosys-tem service valuation in Chinese mainly focus on"watershed ecosystem","watershed ecosystem service func-tion","the connotation and dimension of watershed ecosystem service valuation"and"watershed ecosystem ser-vice valuation method";while the research in English mainly focuses on"watershed ecosystem service and water-shed ecosystem service value","management and decision-making of watershed ecosystems","biodiversity"pa-per in Chinese,and"watershed ecosystem service valuation model"and other contents.(3)Research on the valu-ation of ecosystem services in watersheds will focus more on the valuation methods,spatial and temporal evolu-tion of ecosystem services in watersheds and their benefits,while those in English will focus more on exploring the characteristics of spatial and temporal evolution of ecosystem services in watersheds and their influencing fac-tors.
