Based on the ecological footprint theoretical model,this paper quantitatively measured and analyzed the dynamic changes of ecological footprint and fossil energy economic efficiency.The results show that the ecological footprint in He’nan Province has been increasing from 1.295 hm2 to 2.613 hm2 in 2008,which is 2.017 times that of 1995,while the ecological capacity just increases by 47% at the same time,which leads the pre ecological deficit increases by 3.14 times during 14 years,the fossil energy footprint is the greatest contribution in pre ecological footprint and ecological deficit.The economic value of fossil energy footprint(VEF) has been the growing trend from mid-1990s;the VEF in 2008 is 2.891 5 millon yuan/hm2 that increases by 1.495 yuan/hm2 than 1995.Fossil energy footprint intensity(FEFI) continues to reduce,and the FEFI in 2008 is 0.345 8 hm2/millon yuan which is the lowest level that was just 48% that of 1995.The ecological pressure intensity of energy footprint(EPIEF) was being gradual decline during 1996-1999,then continued to grow,and reached the highest level 20.11 in 2006.We can conclude that the resource demand in the course of social and economic development in He’nan has surpassed the regeneration of natural environment.Though the economic efficiency of fossil energy has been improved,its consumption scale increased and fossil energy capacity improvement limited,which caused that the ecological stress has been rising in He’nan province.
