Abstract
The paper, the assessment of forest ecological security and
its determining indicators: A case study of the Yangtze River
Economic Belt in China, written by Dr. Xu Tang et al., focuses on
forest ecological security issues. Forest ecosystem is the largest
and the most important natural ecosystem in terrestrial ecosystem.
The forest ecosystem has multiple functions: it produces oxygen
to supply human beings and all kinds of animals and plants; it
absorbs carbon dioxide to reduce the earth’s greenhouse effect;
it provides various nutrition, food, and habitats for all kinds of
animals and plants to maintain biodiversity; it also helps to shield
against wind and sand, protects soil and water, and prevents rocky
desertification. Compared with other ecosystems such as wetlands,
deserts, and oceans, forest ecosystems have the most biological
species, the most complex structures, and the strongest ecological
benefits.
