Using the emergy analysis method, we conduct trend analysis of changes in the total emergy, input and output structure …, various emergy indicators of agro-ecosystem in Hunan Province during the period 1999-2008. The results show that during the … study period, total emergy input basically remained stable, but the emergy input structure was constantly optimized, of …
