Abstract

The investigation is to provide systematic view on environmental process of natural and human impacts on Chinese ecological interaction zone belt. Various data have been employed, e.g., history document, observation records, statistic data, experiment data, and remote sensing data to illustrate environmental factors and countermeasures in Chinese ecological interaction zone belt. Natural and socio-economic environment dominant factors have been discovered. Quantitative and qualitative as well as comparative investigations have been conducted focusing on analysis of ecological interaction zone belt in China from vulnerable behaviors and patterns, causes and countermeasures in sustainable development view.

The characteristic features, which favor the discussion, could be obvious. First, ecological interaction zone belt depends on the stability of the interaction between the internal/natural structures and external/human forces. Environment situation and scope has vibrated at different periods affected by complex factors---internal/natural and external/human. Second, processes of zone belt vulnerability caused by human activities in the late 100 years have been ten times faster/larger than that of nature. Finally, development strategies of sustainability with beneficent environmental, scientific and technological, economical and political view could be urgently demanded.
