英文摘要	Groundwater is an important source of water, even the only source in some arid areas. However, climate changing and ecosystem damage induced by pollution aggravate water resource crisis. The polluter pays principle is deeply rooted in efforts to manage the polluted sites, particularly in the soil-groundwater environ-ment. Unfortunately, there is no ecosystem damage compensation mechanism generally accepted by all stake-holders. In this study, we establish an assessment framework and valuation methods for ecosystem damage induced by soil-groundwater pollution in an arid climate area based on a pollution source -> target (soil-groundwater) -> receptor (humans, animals, and plants) -> damages -> stakeholders (human society and ecosystem) model that is usually applied in groundwater risk assessment research. Five economic loss are included in the valuation methods: (1) human health loss, (2) emergency disposal cost, (3) direct economic loss, (4) ecological restoration cost, and (5) ecosystem services loss. We apply the framework to a case study in an arid climate area, northwest China and calculate the total economic loss from ecosystem damage in the case study at 12.6 million yuan. The largest proportion of the total loss was the ecological restoration cost (85.6%), followed by the emergency disposal cost (11.2%), and finally ecosystem services loss (3.2%). Valuation of ecosystem damage from environmental pollution is essentially a socioeconomic issue. This study supplies a new framework and methods for valuing ecosystem damage induced by pollution, and offers suggestions for environmental management to reduce the damage caused by soil-groundwater pollution to health and ecosystems.
