Part of the Springer Earth System Sciences book series (SPRINGEREARTH)

Abstract

The major ecosystems considered by the Task Force are forests, grasslands, and wetlands. These three biomes cover about 63.8 % of China’s landmass. By one estimate, the value of their ecosystem services is between 74.4 and 81.5 % of the total value of terrestrial ecosystem services in China (He et al. 2005; Zhu et al. 2007).
