Farmland'Ecological Compensation in Wuhan Metropolitan Area from Prospective of Farmland Development Restriction

This paper discusses the amounts of farmland's ecological compensation in Wuhan Metropolitan Area under the non-equilibrium developing policy of land resources by using the methods of ecological services value,ecological footprint,and ecological capacity.The result shows that the district with the highest farmland ecological compensation in Wuhan Metropolitan Area is Dongxihu district,which achieved as much as 21.64 × 104Yuan / hm2,while the least is Xiaochang county,with 434.28 Yuan/hm2.In Wuhan Metropolitan Area,the amounts of districts which are negative in their ecological account is 24,with Wuchang Distract as the largest one;while the rest 24 are positive in their ecological account,with Macheng city as the largest one.Jianghan District(63.08×108Yuan) pays the largest,while Jiangxia District receives the largest amount of compensation(3.03× 108Yuan).The proportion of farmland ecological compensation in Wuhan Metropolitan Area varies from 0.03% to 21.94% in their own GDP,so it is realistic to take the ecological compensation measures.After considering the farmland ecological compensation in Wuhan Metropolitan Area,the green GDP of 33 Districts is quite different from their former GDP.Therefore,this paper concludes that in order to protect and enhance the sustainable and variable ecological service supplied by the farmland,a reasonable and feasible farmland's ecological compensation amount should be evaluated.What's more,it is also necessary to establish the farmland eco-compensation mechanism.
