Abstract Evaluation on forest ecosystem services is a hot topic in China and abroad, but it is not unified in evaluation indicator system and evaluation methods. Based on Ⅱ Forest Resources in Fujian Province in 2007, according to the standard of People's Republic of LY/T 1721—2008 Specifications for assessment of forest ecosystem service in China, this paper evaluated the value of main vegetation types of nine cities, Fujian Province. The results showed that: 1) the total value of forest ecosystem services is RMB 701.273 billion in Fujian Province in 2007, and from high value to low value is water conservation, biodiversity conservation, carbon fixation and oxygen released, atmosphere environmental purifying, soil conservation, forest recreation, nutrients accumulation and forest protection. The value of water conservation, carbon fixation and oxygen released, and biodiversity conservation occupied 81.55% of the total value; 2) the order of forest ecosystem services in cities from high value to low value is Nanping, Sanming, Longyan, Ningde, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Putian, Xiamen; 3) the order of forest ecosystem services in stand forest from high value to low value is Pinus massoniana, broad-leaved tree, Cunninghamia lanceolata, bamboo grove, economic forest, shrubbery, Eucalyptus spp. and Casuarina equisetifolia；4) the order of forest ecosystem services in age-group from high value to low value is middle forest, mature and over-mature forest, young forest and near-mature forest.
