Ecosystem services refer to the natural environmental conditions and utilities that are formed in ecosystems and ecological processes and sustain human survival. They can connect the structure , processes and functions of ecosystems and human well-heing . Ecosystem services have brought enormous benefits to humanity, but the value of many ecosystem services is difficult to directly reflect through the market and often overlooked, leading to serious damage to natural resources and the ecological environment. Therefore, evaluating the value of ecosystem services is a key link for connecting ecosystem research and management decision-making[2]. The Wutong Mountain Rhododendron moulmainense ecological landscape forest of Shenzhen City is an important forest resource in Wutong Mountain. Its ecological service functions are diverse, and it has quite important economic and ecological benefits. Assessing its ecosystem service value can provide a basis for protecting important forest resources and promoting the construction and sustainable use of ecological landscape forests.
