Abstract
Coordinating the relationship between economic development and ecological protection, a series of complex tests have been given to many governments，especialy in ecotone. taking Dalate County for example, the ecological characteristics and the situation economic development are evaluated by an improved ecological footprint model, which is based on emergy analysis theory and ecosystem service function model. The calculating results indicate that the ecological footprint of Dalate County is 3.9×106hm2 in total annualy, the actual output ecological capacity is 2.04×106hm2. There is a huge gap between ecological footprint and ecological capacity. The total ecosystem services value is 1.01×1010 CNY•a. And among all types land, woodland contributes the greatest, which is 4.19×109 CNY•a. Among all kinds service, regulation service take the largest proportion, which value is 5.53×109 CNY•a. Those results can be used to guide ecological protection and economic development in ecotones, like Dalate County in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
