| Abstract: |
| Taking Beizhuang village,Zhenyuan County of Gansu Province as an example and using H.T.Odum emergy analysis method,this paper studies the changes of agro-ecosystem emergy after cropland to grassland conversion.The results indicate that after cropland to grassland conversion, net emergy yield ratio increases by 35.14%,environmental loading ratio decreases by 8.31%,emergy sustainability index(ESI) increases by 47.38%,and emergy stability index increases from 0.809 to 1.015 in Beizhuang village agro-ecosystem.The cropland to grassland conversion plays an important role in the improvement of agro-ecosystem productivity and sustainable development.But the system coupling degree between agriculture and animal husbandry decreases by 41.74%,we should adopt measures to enhance it and realize the balance development of agro-ecosystem. |
