Spatial and temporal variations of ecosystem service values in relation to land use pattern in the Loess Plateau of China at town scale.

Understanding the relationship between land use change and ecosystem service values (ESVs) is the key for improving ecosystem health and sustainability. This study estimated the spatial and temporal variations of ESVs at town scale in relation to land use change in the Loess Plateau which is charact...
