Abstract: The study of the impact of landscape pattern changes on ecosystem service value in the island areas plays a positive role in understanding the landscape difference between lands and islands, properly utilizing land resources in the island areas, and steadily developing the regional ecosystem. Based on the land use data in 1995, 2005 and 2015 respectively, the characteristics of changes in landscape patterns and ecosystem service value of the Zhoushan Archipelago from 1995 to 2015 were analyzed, as well as the correlation between landscape index and ecosystem service value. The results are shown as follows: (1)The areas of waters, cities and villages in the Zhoushan Archipelago have been continuously increasing while the areas of other landscapes have been continuously declining, which shows the continuously deepened degree of fragmentation, complexity and diversity of landscape patterns. (2)The ecosystem service value presents an uptrend after a decline, increasing by 376.6 million yuan. Other values have been dropping except that the values of water supply, environment purification and hydrological regulation have been in an overall uptrend. Areas with a comparatively high and low value have been continuously increasing, while areas with a value ranging from 5 to 15 million yuan show a slight reduction. (3)The total value of ecosystem services is significantly positively correlated with the complexity and diversity of landscape patches, but significantly negatively correlated with the aggregation index and contagion index of landscapes.

Key words: ecosystem service value, landscape pattern, Zhoushan Archipelago
