      abstract = {This book presents essential case studies on the  integrated modelling of ecosystem services and land-use  change in the field of landscape ecology. The case studies  were mainly conducted in the Zhangye oasis of the Hexi  corridor and the upper reaches of the Heihe river basin,  including Loess plateau (for wind power) and the inland  waterways of the Yangtze River (for the regulation of  extreme events). The book puts forward an integrated  modelling method, including human activities, natural  processes, land-use change, and ecosystem management, and  explores multiple scenarios based on the interests of local  managers and their implications for ecosystem services. As  the book demonstrates, the integrated modelling method for  ecosystem services and land-use change can serve as a  valuable tool for gauging the impact of various development  scenarios in this study area, and in other regions with  similar characteristics. In addition, numerous charts and  diagrams are included in each chapter, facilitating the  simulation and assessment of specific land-use change  impacts on ecosystem services in various study areas.},
