[Objective] A comprehensive quantitative evaluation of the overall effectiveness and that under different value realization models of typical cases in northwest China was conducted, and the feasibility of the evaluation indicator system for evaluating the effectiveness of typical cases was further verified, in order to provide references for other regions to extract relevant typical cases. [Methods] 29 typical cases in northwest China were selected as the study objects. A three-dimensional evaluation system encompassing ‘resources-mechanismsbenefits' was established. The entropy value method and the comprehensive index method were used to calculate the overall effectiveness, stage-specific effectiveness, and effectiveness of different models in realizing ecological product value. [Results] ① The overall effectiveness of ecological product value realization varied significantly across cases, with 16 cases falling below the average score of 36.47, indicating that there was still room for improvement in value realization. The synergy among multiple mechanisms constituted the core stage in the process of ecological product value realization. The output of comprehensive benefits was influenced by factors such as policy time lags, which resulted in relatively slow performance and lower scores.② All existing ecological product value realization models incorporated industrialization pathways. The effectiveness scores for the ‘transaction+industrialization' ‘restoration+transaction+industrialization' and ‘compensation+industrialization' models were 46.27, 41.72, and 38.62, respectively, indicating relatively good performance.③ Both the ‘industrialization' and ‘restoration+industrialization' models prioritized multi-mechanism synergy as their primary achievement, while the ‘compensation+industrialization' model achieved the highest score(48.86) in comprehensive benefit output. [Conclusion] The realization of ecological product value in northwest China has achieved phased results, yet it still faces the challenge of relatively low comprehensive benefit output. In the subsequent efforts to promote ecological product value realization, it is essential to be guided by the goal of maximizing comprehensive benefits, establish and improve multi-mechanism synergy, and continuously optimize the market transaction environment.
