Study on Desert Ecological Resources in Green Environment

Abstract:

Desert ecological tourism resources in green environment are an integration of desert natural geographic and landform landscape with its interdependent desert ecosystem environment, possess two major functions, and also their values are reflected in ecological benefit and recreation value. Therefore, through choosing ecological tourism as an index and combining EM inside direct cost and outside direct cost with grading evaluation, the intension of the recreation value of desert tourism resources in green environment was defined according to the ecological tourism function of desert tourism resources; through investigation and research, classification, data collection and regression processing, the recreation value of China's desert tourism resources was calculated, and the result showed that the recreation value of China's desert tourism resources in green environment reached 4.5 billion RMB in 2010.
