A framework to explore the services value provided by snow cover: A case study for Heilongjiang Province, China.

Ecosystem services and their accounting frameworks have been extensively studied. Snow, as a special climatic product, can provides essential resources and services for human well-being and socioeconomic development which is often ignored. However, the services and value it provides have not been effectively evaluated.

The impact of China's urbanization on ecosystem service value from the perspective of gross ecosystem product: a case study of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Gross ecosystem product (GEP) is an aggregate measure of the monetary value of final ecosystem services, or the direct benefits that people derive from nature. GEP can provide decision makers with clear and competing evidence of the monetary value of ecosystem services. However, the relationship between GEP and urbanization has not been clarified which is not conducive to the decision-making role of GEP in the process of urban sustainable development.
