摘要
The distribution and exploitation of mineral resources often cross and overlap with water resources, agricultural and animal husbandry resources, tourism resources, and forest resources. This spatial feature leads to comprehensive, cumulative action between different mining activities in the same environmental background, which increases the burden on the environment and influences the sustainable development of resources. There were some serious geo-ecological problems in some mining areas such as frequent geological disasters. Thus, it is necessary to discuss the geo-ecological carrying capacity in combination with the scale, intensity and effect of human activities in the ecologically fragile mining area in western regions. This paper made a wide range of discussion on research frame, assessment system, model, methodology and key application.
