# Assessment of Urban Ecological Service value used in Urban Rail Transit Project

## TL;DR

This paper enhances ecosystem service valuation in urban areas by integrating an urban module into the InVEST model, improving assessment accuracy for urban ecological services in transit projects.

## Contribution

It introduces an innovative urban module into the InVEST model, enabling more accurate evaluation of ecosystem services in urban transit project planning.

## Key findings

- Improved evaluation of urban ecological services.
- Enhanced model applicability in urban planning.
- Better support for sustainable transit development.

## Abstract

Ecosystem services refer to the ones human beings often obtain from the natural environment ecosystem. In order to solve the problem of environmental degradation, based on the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST model), this paper makes innovation by adding the urban module that was not in the previous models, which can better deal with the evaluation of ecosystem services in urban scenarios.
