Abstract

As an "ecological barrier", Anhui Province of China plays an important ecological role in the construction of ecological integration in the Yangtze River Delta. Taking Anhui Province of China as the research object, this paper quantitatively analyzes the status of various ecosystems, analyzes the factors affecting the balanced development of ecology and economy, and provides a basis for Anhui Province to coordinate local interests and protect the ecological environment. Specific results: (1) In 2019, the total value of ecosystem services in Anhui Province was 509.287 billion yuan. Water area, forest and grassland are the key ecosystems to be protected. (2) In 2019, the total ecological footprint of Anhui Province far exceeded the total ecological carrying capacity, and the ecological environment was in an unsustainable state of development. (3) The ecological overload index of Anhui Province in 2019 was - 7.85, which was a serious overload. The amount of ecological compensation payable was about 2302.436 billion yuan.
