[Objective] The characteristics of land use change and the comprehensive effects on eco-environment were assessed to provide a support for ecological reconstruction of the study area.[Methods] Based on the Landsat images of August 2006 and 2015

land use data of Wengniute Banner was extracted with ENVI 5.1.Indicators as land use dynamic degree

and land use type of spatial transfer matrix

and biological richness index

ecosystem service value and sensitivity index

spatial-temporal evolution characteristics and ecological environment effects of Wengniute Banner

Inner Mongolia were used.[Results] (1) The main land use types of Wengniute Banner were farmland

woodland

grassland and sandy land. In recent 10 years

farmland

grassland

construction land increased remarkably; while woodland

sandy land and water area manifested a decreasing trend. (2) Biological abundance index decreased from 43.47 in 2006 to 42.69 in 2015

reduced 1.97%. This is not beneficial to the development of bio-diversity; The total value of ecosystem services declined from 1.023 1×1010 yuan to 9.847 0×109 yuan during 2006 to 2015

decreased amount and rate were 3.84×108 yuan and 3.75%

respectively. Generally

the ecological environment maintains largely a balance

but with a slight degradation; (3) The sensitivity coefficients of various land use types were less than 1

indicating that the ecosystem service value is not sensitive to the coefficient

lacking flexibility.[Conclusion] In the study area

the sharp decrease of ecosystem service value can be attributed to the decrease of woodland and water area

and the increase of construction land. The decreased ecosystem service value and biological abundance resulted from land use change will exacerbate the vulnerability of local ecological environment.
