Regulating services are the advantages that humans receive from regulating ecosystem processes. These services include, but are not limited to pollination, climate regulation, water purification, carbon sequestration, and erosion control. Quantifying and mapping ecosystem services in agroecosystems is one of the main effective actions to increase pay attention to these services and adopt suitable approaches to direct sustainability. The purpose of the study was quantification, and mapping of regulating ecosystem services in canola agroecosystems of Gorgan County, north of Iran. For this purpose, some regulating services such as carbon sequestration, climate regulation, soil microbial respiration, soil aggregate stability, and pollination by insects were evaluated based on the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services framework. The information and data required for each of these services were collected through field measurements, laboratory experiments, and field surveys. After quantifying, the surveyed services in canola agroecosystems were presented on geospatial maps generated by ArcGIS software, version 10.3. Results showed that agroecosystems in the west and north of the studied region provided the more regulating services. Also, the results of the pollination showed that pollinating insects belonged to four orders and 13 families. The majority of the pollinators were Hymenoptera (44.74%), especially honey bees (Apis mellifera L.), Diptera (5.26%), Butterflies (Lepidoptera; 25%), and the beetles (Coleoptera; 25%), and Anthophora sp. and Andrena sp. were the second and the third most abundant pollinating species after honey bees. Generally, the canola agroecosystems close to the rivers and the natural ecosystems provided more services than other regions.
调控服务是人类从生态系统过程调控中获得的益处。这些服务包括但不限于授粉、气候调节、水净化、碳固存和侵蚀控制。量化和绘制农业生态系统中的生态系统服务是提高对这些服务的关注度并采取适当方法指导可持续性的主要有效措施之一。本研究的目的是量化和绘制伊朗北部戈尔甘县油菜农业生态系统中的调节生态系统服务。为此，根据通用国际生态系统服务分类框架，评估了一些调节服务，如碳固存、气候调节、土壤微生物呼吸、土壤团聚体稳定性和昆虫授粉。这些服务中的每一项都需要通过野外测量、实验室实验和野外调查收集相关信息和数据。在量化后，利用 ArcGIS 软件生成的地理空间地图展示了在油菜农业生态系统中调查到的服务。结果表明，研究区域西部和北部的农业生态系统提供了更多的调节服务。此外，授粉结果表明，授粉昆虫属于四个目和 13 科。大多数传粉昆虫是膜翅目（44.74%），尤其是蜜蜂（Apis mellifera L.），双翅目（5.26%）、鳞翅目（蝴蝶）（25%）和鞘翅目（甲虫）（25%），其次是Anthophora sp. 和 Andrena sp.，它们是继蜜蜂之后第二和第三丰富的传粉物种。一般来说，靠近河流和自然生态系统的油菜农业生态系统比其他地区提供了更多的服务。
