A Study of Ecological Footprint and Its Influencing Factors in China's Coastal Zone Based on Three-Dimensional Ecological Footprint Expansion Model
[Objective] The ecological footprint was calculated and the driving factors in China's continental coastal zone was analyzed in order to provide a reference for ecological civilization construction and sustainable development.[Methods] Based on the three-dimensional ecological footprint expansion model
the ecological footprint
biological capacity
and footprint depth of China's mainland coastal zone from 2008 to 2017 were calculated. The sustainable development of China's coastal zone was analyzed in terms of time and space
and the driving factors were analyzed using the partial least-squares method.[Results] ① In the 10 years from 2008 to 2017
the total biological capacity and the per capita ecological footprint of China's coastal zone increased yearly. In terms of component contribution
the per capita ecological footprint of energy fossil land was the largest. ② From 2008 to 2017
the per capita biological capacity did not vary significantly. Among all provinces and cities
the per capita biological capacity of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region was always the largest
while that of Shanghai City was always the smallest. ③ The depth of the footprint showed a trend of increasing year by year
and the depth was greater than 1
which consumed the natural capital stock and aggravated the ecological deficit. From the perspective of space
the depth of the per capita footprint was generally large in central and northern provinces
while the depth of the per capita footprint in Southern Guangxi
Guangdong
and Fujian provinces was relatively low. ④ Economic development
urban scale
environmental pollution
and interregional communication were the driving factors that lead to an increase in ecological footprint and footprint depth. Ecological construction and the improvement of science and technology played a positive role in alleviating the ecological footprint and increasing the depth of the footprint.[Conclusion] In the future
the sustainable development of China's coastal zones can be realized by adjusting the industrial and population structures
changing consumption patterns
further strengthening ecological construction
and improving the scientific and technological levels.
