Features: In addition to exploring the potential impacts of global climate change on China's vulnerable ecological zones, this book focuses on the effects of economic development on these areas. It applies the principles of nonlinear theory to construct models and conducts an in-depth evaluation of sustainable economic development in vulnerable ecological zones. The book establishes an indicator system for assessing vulnerable zones and provides a detailed analysis of the characteristics of typical vulnerable areas in China. The remediation models and strategies for vulnerable ecological zones are one of the key focuses of this book, with a significant portion dedicated to simulating decision-making scenarios for sustainable development in typical vulnerable areas. To study the sustainable development of ecologically fragile zones, the book selects the Yulin region of Shaanxi, the edge of the Northwest arid oasis, the Southwest arid-temperate valley, the Southern karst mountainous area, and the South Tibet Valley. It examines the development models of each region and proposes comprehensive remediation systems, management frameworks, and strategies for each area. The agricultural development system analysis model in Ansai County adopts multi-objective linear programming technology, integrating regional agricultural, natural, socio-economic conditions, as well as regional development and environmental goals, to form a decision-support system for sustainable development in typical vulnerable areas.
