Linking ecosystem services and economic development for optimizing land use change in the poverty areas

For the sustainable development of human beings and society, it is important to conserve the ecosystems and alleviate poverty in the areas that have low agricultural productivity and are ecologically vulnerable. To avoid the decrease in ecosystem services (ES) under the effects associated with reduc...
