Reviewer 2 Report
1. The abstract is too long and should be simplified, mainly stating the main findings and research implications of the paper.
2. A separate section on the main contributions of the paper needs to be added to the introduction.
3. the applicability of the method needs to be explained in the methodology and why the method was used.
4. the conclusion needs to add the main takeaways, shortcomings and outlook of the paper.
5. The thesis needs a separate section for adding the literature review, which is an essential part of the thesis research.
6. Rewrite the introduction section, which introduces the research background, motivation, significance of the research, main contributions and chapter arrangement of the thesis.

Round 3
Reviewer 1 Report
The manuscript has been reviewed,“Ecological Asset Assessment and Ecological Compensation Standards for Desert Nature Reserves: Evidence from three different climate zones in China”and hope the suggestion can provide useful comments to help strengthen your manuscript. The present study selected different types of nature reserves in hyper-arid, arid, and semi-arid areas, quantitatively evaluated their ecological asset values, and explored the ecological compensation standard of desertification areas. It provides scientific basis for further improving the ecological compensation policy for desert ecosystems and can better improve the regional, nature-based environment. It has been seen from the article that the author 's detailed answer to the previous reviewer has been carefully revised. After the last revision, the article has been improved and the theme is more clear, the article can be accepted after minor revision.
1. Lines 484-507: This part is not closely related to the theme.
2. Note that many details in the article include spelling, capital letters, etc(Lines 203)
3. There is an error in the numbering of the formula.
4. The title of the picture should correspond to the following text.
