Environmental protection is of prime importance for the sustainable development of the society.With the development of rural economy,ecosystem service is attracting the attention of many scientists.Conservation tillage has been widely adopted in the rice grown region in southern China.The key technique in a conservation tillage system of paddy field integrates different practices like minimum tillage,no-tillage,residue mulching,and multi-cropping to protect soil and water erosion and to maintain soil health.Our objective was to evaluate the value of ecosystem service of paddy field under the multi-cropping model in Sichuan basin of southwest of China.The ‘Market Value’ method was applied for analyzing the data.In this method the net increase in value of produce is considered as the produce service value.The results indicated that the ecosystem services value of the conservation tillage increased significantly compared to the conventional tillage.The value of primary products and adjacent air by the ecosystem in rape-rice-potato conservation tillage model increased by 32.42% and 17.03%,respectively,compared to the rape-rice model.In wheat-rice conservation tillage model,the corresponding increase in the same parameters was 55.21% and 9.40% compared to the traditional model.The increase in ecosystem service value of soil organic matter accumulation was 0.23% and 0.39% and the value of nutrition cycle maintaining was 12.35% and 12.81% in conservation tillage rape-rice and wheat-rice cropping systems,respectively over traditional tillage models.The influence of rice residue mulch on soil water conservation was significant as well in rape and wheat fields.The increased values in water conservation were 11.66% and 32.63% in rapeseed and wheat field,respectively.Besides the improvement in the value of produce service,the greatest contribution of ecosystem service in conservation tillage is the nutrient cycle maintenance followed by the soil water conservation.The air quality had also been improved by the conservation tillage systems.However,conservation tillage had some negative influence on the soil texture.The plough layer is getting hard and the soil borne diseases are increasing with the increase in the duration of conservation tillage.In general,there is tremendous increase in the value produced by the conservation tillage of the paddy field ecosystem.
