Abstract
In this paper, the ecological footprint in Shaanxi Province during the period from 2000 to 2010 is calculated and analyzed. The analysis is based on the theory and methodology of ecological print, with natural resource production and consumption, population and land use data from the FAO database and Shaanxi Statistical Yearbooks. Ecological deficit was demonstrated that from 2000 to 2010, indicating an unsustainable ecological development in Shaanxi province.
