Responses of the water-yield ecosystem service to climate and land use change in Sancha River Basin, China

This study shows that the grain-for-green program has negatively impacted water yield. Furthermore, to improve the ecological environment of the river basin, a comprehensive scheme for controlling water and soil erosion should be implemented according to the actual variation in water yield. This would give full consideration to the utility of water resources.
