Ecosystem contributes to human wellbeing in many ways. It not only provides food, medicine and other production and living materials for human beings, but more importantly, maintains the life support system on which human beings depend for survival. Ecosystem services refer to all the benefits human beings receive from the ecosystem, including supply services, regulatory services, cultural services and support services. In many cases, ecosystem services are under threat due to the multiple impacts including climate change, land use/land cover change, ecosystem degradation and so on. In the context of environmental degradation, climate change, overconsumption, population explosion, etc., knowledge on ecosystem services will helpful in achieving the regional sustainability, which is a long-lasting subject related with not only environment, but also economy and society.
