Abstract: Taking into account the administrative management requirements for unified and classified natural resources, the development potential of land, forest, grassland, wetland and water resources was evaluated based on resource attributes, natural conditions and disaster risk. On this basis, a systematic, reasonable and objective evaluation index system for comprehensive potential of natural resources was constructed. Combining multiple statistical data and remote sensing data, the comprehensive potential of natural resources of Chinese provincial-level regions was evaluated, and potential zoning was conducted using the dominant factor method. The empirical results showed that the western region, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the northeast had high comprehensive potential of natural resources; and regions with low comprehensive potential of natural resources such as Beijing and Tianjin needed to leverage their economic development advantages. The evaluation index system for the comprehensive potential of natural resource proposed in this study was applicable to the evaluation of natural resource development potential in regions of different scales, and could effectively identify the types of superior natural resources in regions, which provided support for local natural resource management and optimization adjustment of main functional areas.
