Abstract:
Zhenlai County of Jilin Province is located in the farming-pastoral ecotone in northern China. As a commodity grain base, agricultural development is an important activity in this area. In order to investigate the current ecological and environmental conditions, the feature of resource consumption, and the pressure shift of external resources in the farming-pastoral ecotone in the study area, the ecological footprint method was used to analyze the biological resource production and energy consumption data in 2010 of Zhenlai County. The results showed that agriculture and animal husbandry developments are the primary resource consumers in Zhenlai County. Most of the farming and pasturing products were sold to other places; therefore this area sustained a huge pressure shift of external resources and the ecological deficit occurred in Zhenlai Country. A further analysis indicated that the increasing of agricultural acreage to solve the problems of low yield and single cropping to promote the agricultural production can occupy other land use types, which can disturb the ecological environment significantly and aggravate the degradation of ecological environment in Zhenlai
