Grasslands provide a wide range of provision, support, regulation, and cultural ecosystem services (ESs), whose valuation methods can be grouped into three categories (ecological, sociocultural, economic). The present manuscript aims to an overview academic studies on grassland ESs the most used economic evaluation methods. To this end, systematic bibliometric review was conducted using scientific database Scopus VOSviewer software. results highlighted that China USA were main countries with highest number publications regarding provided by grasslands. began grow starting in 2005, thanks, perhaps, publication influential documents, such as Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, general increase interest ecological policy issues. year 2023 had documents absolute (646), demonstrating timeliness, importance, relevance research topic. studied ES has been carbon storage; however, central role played also biodiversity.

The value of ecosystem services (ESV) serves as a crucial metric for assessing the cost-effectiveness ecosystems and evaluating their economic worth. Predicting evolution ESV across various land uses under different scenarios is essential maintaining ecological stability fostering sustainable developm0ent. Utilizing use change data combined with PLUS predictive model service equivalence techniques, this study analyzes spatiotemporal patterns underlying drivers in Yuzhong County, China. results indicate that overall distribution exhibits “fragmented northeast, clustered southwest” pattern, dominated by high-high low-low clustering. Among driving factors, elevation exerts greatest influence on ESV, followed precipitation population density, while slope contributes least. Under natural development scenarios, remains relatively stable compared to base year 2020. In contrast, farmland protection scenario effectively preserves associated cultivated land. However, leads significant decline retraction high-value areas an expansion low-value regions. These insights provide fresh perspective analyzing factors influencing conducting multi-scenario predictions, thereby aiding resource conservation landscape risk prevention strategies region.
