The ability to calculate an economic value for the loss of wetlands is becoming in- creasingly important for policy makers. In this study, remote sensing, field investigations, department visits, and other methods were used to survey wetland types, assess wetland area changes, and calculate wetland economic value. Mar- ket value loss and ecological ftmction value loss, caused by reduction of wetland area and environmental pollution were calculated using commonly accepted methods of market valuation, ecological valuation, environmental protection investment cost analysis, and outcome parameters. According to market value loss and ecological function value loss, preliminarily fund allocation for wetland and ecological compensation was calculated. This will provide an important reference for future Yellow River Delta eco-compensation studies.展开更多

The results showed that annual evaporation in Benxi County showed a decreasing trend from 1958 to 2012,with the linear tendency rate of-12. 18 mm/10 a. Except that evaporation in spring decreased obviously,but evaporation in other seasons increased slightly in recent 55 years. Moreover,evaporation changes correlated with changes of average temperature,daily range of temperature,precipitation,sunshine hours,average wind speed and relative humidity,but the correlations between evaporation and each meteorological element were different in various seasons.展开更多
