Features: The distinctive feature of this study lies in its emphasis on interdisciplinary integration and the theoretical analysis of related concepts and issues. The key research areas include:
- Based on comparative analysis, distinguishing the characteristics of sustainable forestry and arguing the necessity of transitioning from traditional forestry to sustainable forestry;
- Providing a structured expression of the forest classification and management concept model and interpreting the theoretical essence of classification management using Val's phase law;
- Proposing the principle of spatial differentiation in dominant benefit increment and revealing the profound driving factors of forest classification management in natural ecology;
- Analyzing the drawbacks of the traditional five major forest types' management patterns;
- Systematically reflecting on the industry practice of fixed small plot as the basic operational unit in the spatial and temporal context of forest classification management areas;
- For the first time, proposing the temporal-spatial integration of forest classification management areas as an important issue, systematically arguing theoretically that forest classification management areas should be integrated at the scale level of dynamic mosaics, and deeply analyzing the limitations and transformation directions of traditional forestry spatial management tools such as forest and forestry zoning systems and forest site classification systems;
- Studying ecological environment compensation from both the material and value perspectives, laying a theoretically distinctive framework for analyzing forest ecological benefit compensation issues;
- Using the spatial transfer characteristics of ecological service functions to discuss the theoretical basis of forest external effects and ecological compensation, analyzing the deep limitations of traditional forestry financial systems in building a modern forestry ecological system, proposing the analysis framework of ecological public welfare forest operators-government agents and the concept of compensation equilibrium intervals, and combining regional empirical research to study issues such as the scale of forest ecological benefit compensation, the benefit-cost evaluation structure of public welfare forests, and the temporal allocation of ecological compensation values.
