An ecosystem service assessment dataset in Mao’er Mountain National Forest Park (2018-2019)

As a result, it could support for researches on the decision-making for forest management and the relationship between supply and demand for natural forests. This paper provides a dataset of six categories of ecological indicators in Mao’er Mountain, including water conservation, soil conservation, carbon fixation and oxygen release, nutrient accumulation, atmospheric purification, biodiversity conservation, which is calculated based on the Specifications for Assessment of Forest Ecosystem Services in China (LY/T 1721—2008).

The raw data mainly include GF-1 remote sensing data, meteorological data, forest resource inventory data for management, etc. The accuracy of is strictly ensured through a series of processes such as vectorization, correction, and registration. The dataset provides by this paper includes the physical and value quantities of 18 specific ecological indicators in the ecosystem service assessment system.
