Study on Grassland Environment Capacity of Damao County Inner Mongolia

Abstract:

The environment capacity is not only importance to maintain the balance of nature, but also influence the socio-economic development well being in grassland regions. Take the case of Damao County in Baotou City Inner Mongolia located on the arid and semi-arid area in northern China and a fragile ecosystem, indicators system of grassland environment capacity are constructed and then analyzed the grassland environment capacity quantitatively. The result shows that the grassland environment capacity is an allowable state in 1992 and 2000, but it is an overloading state in 2009, so natural resources on the grassland has not support the demand of regional economic and social development based mainly on animal husbandry in Damao County, applying some effective measures to protect grassland and maintain ecosystem stability.
