Abstract:Based on the perspective of rapid urbanization,and the biological resources and energy ac-counts in Anhui Province from 2010 ~2013,the ecological footprint and bearing capacity were quantitatively evaluated using ecological footprint model.In results,the ecological footprint per capita increased from 2.5735 hm2 to 2.7579 hm2 ,the ecological carrying capacity per capita reduced from 0.3473 to 0.3444 hm2 , and the ecological deficit per capita was on the rise in Anhui Province in the research period.All these indica-ted that the sustainable development of Anhui Province faced challenges.Meanwhile,the ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity per capita of Anhui Province in 2014 ~2015 were predicted using GM(1,1) model.The results showed that the ecological deficit increased continuously,and the ecological environment would get worse,so the countermeasures for reducing ecological deficit were put forward.
