Evaluation of the Recreation Environmental Carrying Capacity of Mountain Meadow:Taking Wugong Mountain Scenic Area as an Example
Recreation environmental carrying capacity is the basis and standard for healthy operation of recreational environments.In order to measure the recreational environmental status of Mountain meadow,an e-valuation index system of the recreational environmental carrying capacity of mountain meadow with 20 evalua-tion indexes selected from the three aspects was constructed,the aspects were flexibility,sustaining force and resistance.Then each index and its carrying threshold range was identified by the empirical data and test data, and also a corresponding carrying capacity index model was constructed.On this basis,the evaluation index sys-tem and model method were used to evaluate the recreational environmental carrying capacity of the mountain meadow on Wugong Mountain.The results showed that:despite of its strong self-maintenance,self-adjustment a-bility of flexibility and high resistance in the off-season,the mountain meadow of Wugong Mountain recreation environment was in an overloaded state to its ability of flexibility and resistance with the recreation behavior in-terference in the peak season,the Carrying Comprehensive Index ( CI) was 0.426 3,obviously overloaded;mo-reover,the“overload”in the peak season further affected the self-recovery ability in the off-season,and the CI was 0.566 1 fully loaded.
