Study about the Evaluation of Ecological Carrying Capacity in Beijing Mountainous Valley Areas - A Case Study of Puwa Valley Region

Abstract

On the basis of the ecological carrying capacity connotation and to realize the coordinated development of economics and environment in Beijing mountainous valley areas, ecological carrying capacity evaluation was discussed in order to promote corresponding advices. The comprehensive evaluation index system was built which included ecosystem elasticity level,bearing capacity index and stress index of ecotourism. The comprehensive evaluation method was constructed. The score of ecosystem resilience of Puwa valley region in 2012 was 74.6, which was more stable. The score of carrying capacity of resource and environment was 49.3 which reached medium level. The score of carrying capacity pressure was 84.2 which attained huge pressure. The score of carrying capacity system was 67.0 which was the second level. At last, this study promoted several corresponding advices.
