Abstract:The impact of land use/land cover change (LUCC) in Myanmar on its ecosystem services values (ESV) is extremely relevant to the sustainable development of the "Belt and Road" and the construction of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. Based on the GlobCover in 1995-2015 and Costanza's ESV coefficient table, this study analyzed the impact of LUCC on ESV in Myanmar. The results showed that:(1) in 1995-2015, the main LUCC types were forest land (71%) and cropland (26%). The areas of forest land and grassland decreased while the areas of other land types increased, with an obvious conversion observed between forest land and cropland. And the hotspot change of forest land, cropland and built land is remarkable. The hotspot area of land use change in Myanmar is mainly distributed in the plain area of the central and southern regions with high population concentration and urbanization degree, as well as the mountainous hilly area in the north, cropland expansion and urban construction are the main reasons for land use change in Myanmar in 1995-2015. (2) The total ESV in Myanmar approximately ranged from 4600×108 to 4700×108 $ with the largest contribution from the forest land, then the contribution of wetland and cropland is close, the proportion is approximately 21%. Meanwhile, for the values of first-category ESV, regulating, supporting, provisioning and cultural services comprised a proportion of 48%, 29%, 13% and 10%, respectively. (3) The total ESV has increased by 66.26×108 $ (1.43%). Specifically, the values of regulating, provisioning, and supporting services increased, while that of culture decreased. As for the values of second-category ESV, waste treatment (54.87×108 $), food production (13.49×108 $) and habitat/refugia (5.12×108 $) increased, conversely, climate regulation (-12.31×108 $), genetic resources (-5.03×108 $) and erosion control (-0.62×108 $) decreased. (4) The impacts of LUCC on the total ESV and the total of first-category ESV were relatively slight in Myanmar, but the trade-off of second-category ESV might affect ecological security and biodiversity. Thus, we should pay attention to the trade-off of the services in the construction of the "Belt and Road". With the construction of China-Myanmar Economic Corridor and China-Myanmar Railway, it is expected that LUCC in the future will have a greater impact on ESV than in the past, so it is important to balance and ensure that the regulating and supporting services critical to the maintenance of ecological security and biodiversity conservation in Myanmar.
