Table 4 Adjusted ecosystem service value coefficient (VC)

Value coefficient	Coefficient adjustments^a	Reference
VC_farnland	VC_farmland	This study
VC_orchard	(VC_forest + VC_farmland)/2	(Feng et al. 2014)
VC_forest	VC_forest	This study
VC_grassland	VC_grassland/2	This study
VC_water	VC_river/lake	This study
VC_{construction land}	(0.5VC_forest + 0.4VC_grassland + 0.1VC_river/lake)^a0.3483	(HU et al. 2013)
VC_others	(VC_grassland + VC_desert)/2	(Xu et al. 2008)
VC_{tidal marsh}	VC_wetland	This study

^aThe adjustments of the coefficient were all based on “equivalent value per unit area of ecosystem services in China,” proposed by Xie et al. (2008)
