Abstract:

This paper took the forest land resources in Hainan Province as an example to carry out the practical research work based on the General Rules for Gradation and Classification of Natural Resources for the first time.This paper had created a classification index interpretation model that could not directly obtain data,which constructed an evaluation scheme for the classification of forest land in Hainan Province by the method of factor and correction,and clearly adopted the five grade and five class evaluation system.The results indicated that 18.2474 million hm² of forest land was the phased achievement of the "The Third Land Survey" project in Hainan Province and there were 2.1252 million basic units for forest land classification and grading,with one grade of each plot.There were actually four grades from 1 to 4;The commercial forest land was 7.8809 million hm²,and there were actually five grades from 1-5;The forest land of public welfare forest was 10.3665 million hm²,and there were actually 1-5 levels.The evaluation results reflected the actual situation of forest land in Hainan,and provided a reference for the standardization and procedure of national forest land classification with the promotion of forest land resources protection and rational development and utilization.
