Abstract

The static partial equilibrium model is a kind of valuation model on ecosystem capital with good maneuverability.As there is still dispute in the field of the valuation of ecosystem cap-ital,this article analyzed the static partial equilibrium model in light of the purpose,characteris-tics,theoretical assumptions,approaches and methods of the job.Based on the analysis,several limitations of the traditional model were pointed out and an advanced model was proposed.Then we selected a watershed in Huangfuchuan valley on the Yellow River as our research area to compare the difference of the valuation results yielded from the traditional model and the ad-vanced model.We found that woodland and grassland would take a higher price in the advanced model but shrubbery would take a lower,and the total valuation yielded from the advanced model would be higher than that of the traditional model by about 1/3.
