A Review of Research Progress on the Value of Ecological Products from Soil and Water Conservation Measures
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Against the backdrop of global climate change and sustainable development, research on the value of ecological products derived from soil and water conservation measures has attracted increasing attention. Addressing the issue of value realization for ecological products derived from soil and water conservation measures, this study used VOSviewer software to perform a visual analysis of 2,935 literature entries from the Web of Science Core Collection, covering the fields of “ecological product value” and “ecosystem services” from 2020 to 2024. The research traced two temporal trajectories: the evolution of soil and water conservation technologies and the formation of the theoretical framework for ecological product value. By integrating methods such as multi-source remote sensing, dynamic correction, and model coupling, the study refined the equivalent factor method to establish a value realization mechanism centered on ecological product value and supplemented by ecological compensation. The results demonstrate that the ecological benefits of soil and water conservation measures can be effectively converted into economic benefits, thus providing a crucial reference for promoting regional sustainable development.
