 This study examined the spatial temporal evolution of land use slash cover change LUCC, an ecosystem service value ESV, in Shenmue City, China. It found that the area of construction land experienced the most significant change between 2020, resulting in a decrease in total ESV from 10.059 billion renminbi, in 2000 to 9.906 billion renminbi in 2020. Additionally, there was a significant positive spatial correlation between ESV and land use intensity, as well as a fluctuating but overall upward trend in the coupled coordination degree, CCD, levels for both variables. These results suggest that the synergy between LUCC and ESV should be taken into consideration when making decisions regarding land resource utilization and sustainable regional development in cities, located in the Las Platomawusu Desert Transition Zone.
