Introduction to Chinas Forest

We employ our approach in China’s forest sector, and explore how recent titling experiences affected manifest (visible) and latent (imperceptible) conflicts, represented by a judicial and empirical dataset, respectively.

Considering the globalization of forest land use and the influence of China’s socio-economic process on forest resources, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of China’s forest land use change in the globalized world economy during 2000–2011, by means of embodiment accounting based on EXIOBASE3 database.

In this study, we aimed to assess the development level of nature reserves under the administration of China’s forestry department in 31 provincial-level regions from 2005 to 2017 (excluding Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan Province).

Forests play a very important role in carbon dioxide emissions and climate change, and the development of China’s forestry is of great significance to our citizens.

The straits of ecological development in the forestry industry and the problems existing in the industrial forestry system are currently the main focus of policy-making research in China, to alleviate the contradiction between forestry economic development and the ecological environment, as well as evaluate the level and trend of the ecological development in China’s forestry industry.

Simple Summary Pine wilt disease caused by the nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus causes significant harm to China’s forests, but there are currently no effective prevention and control measures.

Based on the analysis of China’s forest product trade, this paper uses the stock-change approach, the production approach and the atmospheric-flow approach to calculate the changes of China's forest products trade carbon flows.

Quantifying the overall productivity (GPP) of the forest ecosystem and analyzing the spatial changes at that time will help to understand the dynamic development of terrestrial carbon and the mechanism to respond to climate change and promote the sustainable development of China’s forestry.

In particular, the influence of climatic factors on the spatial distribution of soil total P in China’s forest ecosystems remain relatively unknown.

This paper provides an empirical analysis on the volatility transmission in China’s forest product imports.

Finally, a forest resource ecological benefit accounting model under green development to analyze the ecological efficiency of China’s forest resources was built.

Based on this, we further analyze the redundant (insufficient) situation of input (output) in inefficient regions and changes in the efficiency of China’s forestry investment.

Here, we determine the geographical patterns of key isotopic measures of ecosystem function—plant WUE (calculated from foliar δ 13C values) and plant N availability (assessed by foliar δ 15N values)—across China’s forests covering ∼21 latitude (∼22–43°N) and ∼28 longitude (∼93–121°E) degree, and investigate how a suite of soil, plant, and atmospheric factors regulate them.

China’s forest products manufacturing industry is experiencing the dual pressure of forest protection policies and wood scarcity and, therefore, it is of great significance to reveal the spatial agglomeration characteristics and evolution drivers of this industry to enhance its sustainable development.

To understand the three-dimensional zonality of forest SOC density in China and the effect of plantations on these zonal patterns, data on China’s forest SOC density were collected from 231 published studies.

Choosing a suitable forest fire prediction model and predicting the probability of Chinese forest fire occurrence are of great importance to China’s forest fire prevention and control work.

Here, based on the data from a large field survey campaign with 2600 plots across Chinas forest ecosystems and a global collection of published data from forested land, we find that a low litter carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C/N) and high wetness index (P/PET, precipitation-to-potential-evapotranspiration ratio) are the two factors that promote SOC accumulation, with only minor contributions of litter quantity and soil texture.
