Abstract:This study mainly assesses land use ecosystem service values in Beijing City during the year of 1993, 2001 and 2007. It calculated the gravity center changes of ecosystem service values based on the torque balance point method, and also analyzed the spatial and temporal variation of ecosystem service value distribution in Beijing City. The results indicate that: the ecosystem service value in Beijing City increases from 29.769 billion Yuan in 1993 to 29.905 billion Yuan in 2001, and then the value decreases to 29.212 billion Yuan in 2007. The transmission of gravity center in ecosystem service values is due to the changes of land use. The central values of cultivated land, grassland, wetland have moved from south to north during 1993—2007, which enhanced the change of the total value of gravity center. For instance, the gravities of park green land and forest were always changed from north to south. The changes of gravity for different functional values of ecosystem services illustrate that the gravity center values from waste material, climate regulation, gas regulation, food production, soul formation and conservation, and entertainment culture, move from south to north, and the gravity of raw materials is opposite. For biological diversity protection, the gravity center shifts from west to east. For water conservation, the center goes from north to south and then to north again during the threeyear period. The paper provides accurate information for municipal government decisionmaking, and formalises ecological and environmental protection related policies in Beijing City.
