Abstract:The assessment of ecological restoration effects in coal mining area needs to break through the limitations of traditional single indicators and construct a scientific evaluation system from a comprehensive perspective of improving ecosystem service functions.Taking the Buertai mining field in Ejin Horo Banner as the research object,based on the cur-rently commonly used ecosystem service material quantity assessment model and value calculation method,combined with GIS spatial analysis,the material quantity and value of the coal mining area(Buertai mining field)and the non-coal mining area(the area of Ejin Horo Banner except Buertai mining field)before and after ecological restoration were quanti-fied.And explore the impact of land use and vegetation coverage on ecosystem services,and evaluate the ecosystem res-toration effect of the Buertai mining field.The results show that:① The average material quantity of soil conservation per area in the Buertai mining field in 2005,2010,2015 and 2020 was 17.7,9.02,20.31 and 26.96 t/hm2 respectively;The av-erage material quantity of windbreak and sand fixation per area was 45.77,43.3,46.06 and 50.37 t/hm2 respectively.The material quantity of carbon storage per area was 9.805 4,9.795,9.805 9 and 9.814 t/hm2 respectively.During this period,there was a trend of first decreasing and then increasing.And they all show a positive correlation with grassland,forest land and vegetation coverage,and a negative correlation with construction land and unused land.② The average of the total value of ecosystem services per area in the Buertai mining field in 2005,2010,2015 and 2020 was 1 772.91,1 342.98,1 825.54 and 2 154.98 yuan/hm2 respectively.Generally,it showed a trend of first decreasing and then increas-ing,which was consistent with the changing trend of the quality of ecosystem services.③ The soil conservation and wind-break and sand fixation functions of the Buertai mining field gradually returned to a level close to that of the non-coal min-ing area after 2010,indicating a good ecological restoration effect.The carbon storage is still lower than that in non-coal mining area,indicating that the protection and restoration of the coal mining area ecosystem need to be continuously strengthened.The research results have important reference significance for regional ecological restoration.
