The evaluation of the Marine Nature Reserve-ecosystem services is the key to set the criterion of the Marine Nature Reserve ecological compensation. Therefore, this paper identified and classified the Marine Nature Reserve-ecosystem services first. It pointed out that the Marine ecosystem services referred to the products and services that gained from the Marine Nature Reserve ecosystem, and were necessary for human to survive and develop, including the supplying services, regulating services, cultural services and supporting services. After that, this paper discussed the problems to evaluate ecosystem. Finally, it studied the evaluation methods and models of the Marine Nature Reserve-ecosystem services.

Landscape architects play a significant role in safeguarding urban landscapes and human well-being by means of design and they call for practical knowledge, skills, and methods to address increasing environmental pressure. Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are recognized as highly related to landscape architecture (LA) studies, and the outcomes of CES evaluations have the potential to support LA practice. However, few efforts have focused on systematically investigating CES in LA studies. Additionally, how CES evaluations are performed in LA studies is rarely researched. This study aims to identify the challenges and provide recommendations for applying CES evaluations to LA practice, focusing specifically on LA design. To conclude, three challenges are identified, namely a lack of consistent concepts (conceptual challenge); a lack of CES evaluation methods to inform designs (methodological challenge); and practical issues of transferring CES evaluations to LA design (practical challenge). Based on our findings, we highlight using CES as a common term to refer to socio-cultural values and encourage more CES evaluation methods to be developed and tested for LA design. In addition, we encourage more studies to explore the links of CES and landscape features and address other practical issues to better transfer CES evaluations onto LA designs.

There has been increasing demand in Canterbury, New Zealand for the abstraction of water from rivers. This demand has led to the increased interest in dam projects. But, while river impoundment can result in significant benefits, it also can come at "cost", especially to river ecology. Given these benefits and costs, it is essential that impounded rivers are systematically evaluated for their sustainability. In this paper the ecosystem services approach is applied for the purposes of evaluating the sustainability of the Opihi River located in South Canterbury. Indicators are used to represent the set of ecosystem services provided by the river. Both the criteria of weak and strong sustainability are evaluated in a novel way. Weak and strong sustainability are operationalised through an ecosystem services index and the safe minimum standard concept, respectively. In applying these evaluation methods it is observed that since the construction of the Opuha Dam, the Opihi River has progressed towards weak and strong sustainability.
