Service Function Type | Evaluation Index Factor | Evaluation methods | Advantage | shortcoming |
Supply function | Animal husbandry | Market Value Method | Assessment is impressive and credible | The results are one-sided, and the data must be sufficient and comprehensive. |
plant resources | ||||
Adjustment function | Climate Regulation | Production Cost Method | Estimation from the production side is intuitive and accurate | Require adequate data to consider the causal effects of ecosystem services and products |
Soil C Accumulation | Carbon Tax, Opportunity Cost | Assessment is impressive and credible | Resources must be scarce | |
Regulating the atmosphere | Forestry Cost, Carbon Tax, Industrial Oxygen Production | The loss of resource value is the investment cost of substitution projects | Large space-time differences | |
Conserving water sources | Shadow Engineering, Water Balance | Represent difficult-to-estimate ecological values as alternative projects | Large space-time differences | |
Erosion Control | Opportunity Cost Method | Assessment is impressive and credible | Resources must be scarce | |
Soil consolidation and fertility preservation | Shadow Engineering, Market Value | Assessment is objective and reliable | Many of the functions of ecosystems cannot be replaced by technology. | |
Nutrient Cycle | Alternative Price Method | Comparing and Analyzing the Ecological Environment Value from the Side | Strong Subjectivity | |
Waste Degradation | ||||
Support Functions | Bio-diversity | Conditional Value Method, Opportunity Cost Method | Value assessment for commodities exchanged in the absence of actual and alternative markets. | Intense subjectivity, significant deviation and regional differences Cultural Functions |
Cultural Functions | Travel | Expense Act, Travel Expense Act | Rough quantification of ecological environment value | Only calculating the total amount of money spent on expenses does not really reflect the actual recreational value. |
