Title: Ecosystem Health and Forest Ecosystem Management
Abstract: Abstract Forest ecosystem management and ecosystem health are two related but different concepts. This paper expounds the origin, development, evaluation and research progress of ecosystem health, the difference between forest ecosystem management and traditional forest management science, and discusses the relationship between forest ecosystem management and ecosystem health, and holds that: 1) the health of forest ecosystem should be the goal pursued by forest ecosystem management; 2) Ecosystem health theory provides theoretical basis for specific measures of forest ecosystem management; 3) Forest ecosystem management measures also provide necessary means to maintain the health of forest ecosystem. In order to realize sustainable forest management, the goal of forest management should be changed from the traditional priority of utilization to the direction of emphasizing the health of forest ecosystem, which is the necessary prerequisite for sustainable development of ecological, economic and social benefits of forests.
