| Abstract | The objective of this study is to assess the change in economic value of forest ecosystem services damaged by landslide in the upstream region. The valuation of forest ecosystem services in the upstream region of Maepoon Sub-district indicate that mixed deciduous forest with bamboo provided the higher value of ecosystem services of 54,780.88 $US/ha compared to mixed deciduous forest with the values of 49,780.31 $US/ha, respectively. Comparing the total values of forest ecosystem services after landslide condition (9 years ago) to normal condition of forest ecosystem services in the same ecosystem type can provide information on change in ecosystem services values damaged by landslides. In case of 9-year landslide condition, mixed deciduous forest with bamboo showed that there is the higher change in economic value of ecosystem services with 25,881.06 $US/ha, whereas mixed deciduous forest showed that there is the change in ecosystem services values of 25,895.69 $US/ha. |
