Abstract

- We examine impact on the ecosystem services (ESVs) brought by land use changes in China.
- We model spatial difference and optimize China's land use structure to max total ESVs.
- We find the assigned ESVs per unit in three coastal regions presented relatively higher values than in the inland regions.
- The total ESV decreased by 1.52% due to land use changes.
- Our optimized land use pattern for 2020 can increase the ESVs by 1235.70 billion RMB compared with the government's land use plan by 8.05%.
