| Abstract | The relationship between ecosystem services and human well鄄being involves human activities and the formation of unity between nature, the economy and society. Human activities fall under the economic category, while society incorporates human well鄄being, with ecosystem services provided by natural systems. Human activities have caused changes in steppe ecosystem services in recent years, leading to a significant impact on the basic living standard and productivity of local herdsmen, with subsequent effects on their well鄄being. In addition to being the source of livelihood and sustenance for farmers and herdsmen, the grasslands of Inner Mongolia are also an important green ecological barrier in northern China, vital for maintaining the supply of fresh water, sustaining the regional carbon and nitrogen cycle, and preventing desertification. Although grassland degradation has been considered a serious environmental problem in Inner Mongolia for decades, a rigorous evaluation of its ecosystem service and human well鄄being is still lacking. In this paper we develop a series of indices to evaluate human well鄄being, using Xilinguole League, a significant area in Inner Mongolia, as a case study. In combination with statistical data on the local natural environment and economy, a questionnaire survey was taken to evaluate the changes in ecosystem services and the well鄄being of the herdsmen. The level of well鄄being of the herdsmen |
