区域生态承载力研究方法评述

Review of the methods for studying the regional eco-capacity

生态承载力是区域可持续发展状态定量测度的指标,是人类可持续发展度量和管理决策的依据,也是当前生态学、地学等领域研究的热点、难点和理论前沿。由于区域系统的高度复杂性与不可实验性,如何定量评价区域生态承载力成为目前研究的难点。基于此,笔者在总结国内外区域承载力研究方法的基础上,重点对生态承载力诸多研究方法的实用性进行了探讨,指出生态承载力研究方法面临的挑战,为以后生态承载力的研究指明了方向。

Regional eco-capacity（REC）, one of the most sophisticated hot topic and theoretical frontier in modern ecology, is an important symbol to weigh the regional sustainable development and natural constraint. It provides a necessary basis for human sustainable development decision-making. The intense complexity and the non experimental property make it difficult to evaluate REC. Based on abroad and domestic studies on REC. this paper focuses on the practicability of such studies and puts forward the challenges facing the studies. It also suggests some perspectives for further REC study.
