The study on urban ecology has its world-wide significance due to the phenomenon of growing “urbanization” nowadays. With System Dynamics, the author has studied the simulation model of ecosystem in Beijing. While determining the variable set and doing the sensitivity analysis , the author has posed a new method. A retrospective verification is done with historical data and then several strategies are analyzed by using this model. The research shows that the simulation model is an important method in urban ecosystem study and of great value to practical use.
