Ecological Capacity of Land Use in Huangshi

The ecological footprint and ecological capacity of Huangshi from 1999 to 2004 was studied in this paper.The results showed that the average personal ecological footprint gradually increased from 1.79342hm~(2) in 1999 to 2.34330 hm~(2) in 2004,whereas,the average personal ecological capacity was about 0.51 hm~(2)during these years.The research indicates that the utilization of natural resources in Huangshi is increasing year by year,which is beyond the capacity of the natural ecological system.The conflicts between ecological footprint and ecological capacity are sharpening and the present developing model is not sustainable,the ecological environment is at risk too.
