Abstract: The land use and cover change (LUCC) of Changbai Mountain changed dramatically during Qing dynasty, it was one of the regions which had the biggest LUCC in the past 300 years in China. The authors analyzed the land development process, characteristics and driving forces in Changbai Mountain during Qing dynasty based on historical documents and local literatures, and pointed out that LUCC was driven by both nature and human activity. Land development policy of Qing government, huge population pressure and the invasion of foreign aggressors were the main driving forces in Changbai Mountain. The driving forces jointly acted on LUCC, meanwhile, LUCC also had a significant impact on eco-environment change of the study area.
