Over the past 40 years, China's forestry has undergone rapid change. Forest coverage and stocking have improved significantly, and forestry output value has increased tremendously. Moreover, China has established a modern industrial system for the manufacturing and sale of forest products driven by ...

The high degree of fragmentation and unsustainable exploitation patterns of forest resources have become prominent obstacles to the realisation of the economic and social value of China's forest resources. China's forest eco-bank (FEB) project was set up to achieve centralised utilisation of...

Accurately estimating the forest farmers' protection costs for forest ecosystem services has become a hot issue in ecological economics. In this research, we propose a novel method of using an auction price model to evaluate the forest ecosystem services. We establish a functional relationship...

China has endeavored to devolve collective forests to individual households or user groups in the past decades. However, few studies have explored the community-level institutional selection process in the forest devolution reforms. Based on a longitudinal case study in Fujian province, this study...

Local voices on forest conservation are often ignored in authoritarian regimes, which presents a challenge to sound and fair policy-making. In this political ecology study, we explore the preferences and priorities of the forest-dependent communities toward forest conservation policies in...

Objective: This paper aims to analyze the trend of forest carbon sequestration and the development and change of forestry economy, and to provide reference for relevant management decisions, ecological governance and resource and environment management, as well as to promote the development of...

This study examines state-owned forest areas in Heilongjiang Province, China, and uses statistical data from 2011 to 2019 to evaluate the dynamic coupling and coordination relationship between the forest environment and economic development. The study aims to provide guidelines for the sustainable...

Forest certification as a typical green trade measure has been gradually adopted by developed countries. Although it can promote the upgrading of forest products' trade structure, it also threatens the stability of export growth. However, most studies have focused on the impact of forest...

Taking the trade flow of main wood forest products imported from Russia from 2011 to 2021 as the data source, this study measures the quality of the main wood forest products imported from Russia by China through the regression inference method of demand information and describes the changing trend ...
