Based on the remote-sensing data and ground data, this study is conducted on the ecosystem function of Yiwulvshan National Nature Scenic Area (hereinafter as “Yiwulvshan Scenic Area”) from 2000 to 2010 with the GIS (geographic information system) and RS (remote sensing) technology, so as to provide reference for better environmental protection of the scenic area. It is shown from the results that there is no obvious change of land use in Yiwulvshan Scenic Area; while the capacity for soil and water conservation is slightly improved mainly due to increase of vegetation coverage; the vegetation net primary productivity declines somewhat about 5.27% in past 10 years; and biodiversity is slightly increased. As a whole, the ecosystem function of Yiwulvshan Scenic Area basically kept stable in the past 10 years, which indicated that the existing regulations can effectively protect the ecological function of the Scenic Area.
