Abstract: Ecological compensation is an innovative environmental policy, which can improve the quality of ecological environment and enhance the basin’s capacity for sustainable development by coordinating the economic interests of all subjects. Thus, it’s of great importance to research on ecological compensation standard according to local conditions. Taking Xin’an river basin as an example, this paper firstly carried out the opportunity cost of Huangshan city in the upper reaches of the river basin, then calculated the total ecosystem service value according to the revised compensation factor of Xin’an river basin on the basis of defining the compensation range of ecosystem service function in the basin, and finally introduced the development stage coefficient model to determine the threshold value of ecological compensation standard. The results show that the lower limit of ecological compensation in Xin’an river basin from 2013 to 2017 is 0.524 billion~1.265 billion yuan, and the upper limit of ecological compensation is 2.406 billion~3.422 billion yuan. Based on the results and the current situation of ecological compensation and the needs of economic and social development, some countermeasures and suggestions for determining ecological compensation standard, rising compensation funds and building the legal system of river basin in the future are put forword.

Key words: ecological compensation standard, opportunity cost, ecosystem service value, Xin'an river basin
