The total value of ecosystem services in the Suluh River Basin is significantly impacted by land use and land cover change. Alterations in near-natural habitats lead to substantial changes in specific ecosystem services. This study examines land cover and use changes over the last three decades using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technology. Land use and cover values were assessed alongside global datasets created for biomes to evaluate total and specific changes in ecosystem service values (ESV) for the designated study area and timeframe. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to test the reliability of our estimations using proxies. The findings show that plantation areas increased by 43.7%, built-up lands expanded by 135.5%, cultivated land rose by 7.98%, and barren land grew by 9.8%. Conversely, several land categories experienced notable declines: grazing land decreased by 48.6%, shrub-bushland fell by 61.7%, water bodies declined by 79.6%, and forest land was drastically reduced by 576.7%. As a result of these changes, total ESVs diminished from $32,993,373.58 in 1990 to $26,595,778.37 in 2018, reflecting a net decline of 19.4%. Alarmingly, essential services such as Gas Regulation, Erosion Control, Waste Treatment, Food Production and Habitat/Refuge services have fallen to zero, jeopardizing ecosystem functionality and exacerbating climate change impacts. Overall, both the river basin and individual ESV have declined during this period, highlighting the urgent need for improved land management techniques to enhance the sustainability of ecosystem service delivery in the area.

Journal of Hyojeong Academia aims to serve as a global platform where researchers and scholars of various disciplines can contribute ideas for our sustainable global community of Co‐existence, Co‐prosperity, and Co‐righteousness. The journal is a multidisciplinary, open‐access, internationally peer‐reviewed
academic journal, and it invites all areas of research conducted in the spirit of post materialism including studies centering on God, studies unifying religions and
sciences, and studies on all aspects of Co‐existence, Co‐prosperity, and Co‐righteousness.
