Abstract

It is commonly acknowledged that land-use change (LUC) and climate change have exerted significant effects on ecosystem services which are essential and vital to human well-being. This chapter conducted a revisit to relevant researches on the impacts of LUC on human well-being via specifically altering the ecosystem provisioning services and climate regulation services. As to the issues related to ecosystem provisioning services, first, the explorations on the influences of LUC on ecosystem provisioning services were reviewed, including the researches on the influences of LUC on agro-ecosystem services and forest and/or grassland ecosystem services. Then, the quantitative identification of the impacts of LUC on ecosystem provisioning services was commented on. In light of enhanced observation and valuation methods, several approaches to ecosystem services and improved models for assessing those ecosystem services were analyzed. The major indicators used to uncover the influences of LUC on human well-being were summarized including the increase of inputs and the reduction of outputs in production and the augmented health risk induced by the irrational land uses. Finally, the research gaps were uncovered and several research directions to address these gaps were proposed. As to climate regulation services, the research efforts in the drivers of and their corresponding effects on climate regulation services are briefly identified. Then, we explicitly reviewed the researches on the effects of LUC and climate change on climate regulation services, especially focused on the certain methods and models used to quantify the effects on the major drivers of climate regulation services. After that, the effects of LUC and climate change on human well-being via climate regulation services were revisited and commented accordingly. Finally, we discussed the current research gaps and proposed some research prospects in future studies.
