Research on Accounting for the Value of Forest Ecological Products in Qilian Mountain National Park in Gansu Province
Abstract
The region benefits from forest ecological goods, which support sustainable human growth and well-being by supplying material and ecological products and regulating ecological products and ecological products for cultural tourism. By using GEP accounting, this study aims to evaluate the material forest ecological products, regulating forest ecological products (soil conservation, carbon sequestration, crop pollination, water conservation , Wind and sand fixation and Insect pollination), and cultural service forest ecological products of Qilian Mountain National Park in Gansu Province. Finally, it is concluded that the forest products in Qilian Mountain National Park, Gansu Province, have significant potential. The value of these products generally exhibits a smooth development trend; the woodland type that contributes most to these products is shrub forest; the forest products' spatial distribution features include high concentrations in the southeast and low concentrations in the northwest, with a gradual decline from east to west. This pattern is more in line with the distribution of vegetation types in the study area.
