The land ecological security status and trends of Fujian Province from 2000to 2008were evaluated using the quantitative catastrophe progression method(CPM).The CPM avoids the subjectivity in traditional weighting evaluation methods and has less uncertainty in making the standard of security.The results show that the land ecological security of the province was improved gradually from acceptably secure(Ⅲ)to fairly secure(Ⅳ).The increasing security was mainly based on the improving socioeconomic system and environmental control system

while the natural environment system was still fluctuating around acceptably secure(Ⅲ).Specifically

the security of the environment stress subsystem decreased rapidly from 2003

and that of the population pressure subsystem experienced ups and downs.The land ecological security is not optimistic in the future.
