The riparian forests in the Tarim Basin (NW China) are mainly composed of poplar species (Populus euphratica, Populus pruinosa). In the hyper‐arid climate of this region, the trees are phreatophytes, which rely on access to groundwater. Essential ecosystem services (ESS) of these forests comprise provisioning, regulating, and cultural services. The ESS of the forests are threatened by overuse and a continuous decrease in the groundwater level due to excessive use of water for agriculture, which resulted in a severe reduction of the poplar forest area during the past decades.
