Natural World Heritage properties provide humanity with a rich and diverse range of ecological products, and the realization of their economic value is related to heritage protection and the improvement of community residents’ well-being. In this study, the equivalent factor method was used to calculate the ecological product value (EPV), and the fishnet tool in ArcGIS was used for spatial zoning. The main land use type of the study area is forest land, accounting for over 82% of the total area. The conversion of land use types is weak in the property and strong in the buffer zone. The EPV of the study area was about USD 172.41 million, showing a downward trend before World Heritage inscription but an upward trend after the inscription, with forests as the main contributor. The spatial distribution of the ecosystem service value of the study area has obvious hierarchical characteristics. World Heritage inscription is beneficial for maintaining the stability of land use and for the improvement of the EPV of the property. The high- and low-EPV areas, respectively, are related to the distribution of forests and agricultural land. The dominant models of EPV in the study area are ecological forestry economy, water economy, and ecological agricultural economy.

Karst nature reserve (NR) ecosystems are vulnerable, and the development of regulatory and cultural services industries is still in its infancy. Realization of ecological product value (EPV) is a crucial way to promote the integration of eco-protection and industrial development in nature reserves (NRs). This study calculates EPV using a modified equivalent factor, analyzes the spatial pattern of EPV using the fishnet tool in Arc GIS, and constructs a model for realizing EPV. Finally, the driving factors for the formation of eco-industry are identified using the grey correlation analysis (GCA) method. The results show that (1) the regulatory service products in karst NRs play a decisive role in EPV, and forest ecosystems have significant EPV potential; (2) high-value grids are concentrated in the core and buffer zones of karst NRs and the spatial distribution of EPV in the experimental zone is highly heterogeneous, with high and low-value grids in mixed distribution; (3) the realization model of EPV in karst NRs follows the logic of “preservation, transformation, and appreciation”; (4) human resources (0.813), ecology (0.798), industry (0.693), policy (0.783), the market (0.778), and economy (0.715) are essential drivers for the formation of eco-industry in karst NRs. Overall, karst NRs can promote the realization of EPV through planning and regulation of land use, based on the interaction between internal and external factors, to promote the coordinated development of eco-industry in karst NRs. This study provides a reference for the scientific management of eco-resources and the sustainable development of eco-industry in karst NRs.
