Abstract:

Forest landscape restoration(FLR) should follow eight principles that are paying attention to landscape,restoring ecological functions,paying equal attention to multiple benefits,flexible application of various technical measures,stakeholders participation,adapting measures to local conditions,protecting natural forests,and proceeding step by step.China's total forest resources and forest quality are still insufficient to meet demand.The challenges China is facing in FLR include the need for more effective policies,cross-departmental coordination and management mechanisms,more recovery measures tailored to local conditions,and more effective stakeholder participation.Forest landscape restoration has a broad application prospect in China,including clarifying the positioning of forest landscape restoration methods,popularizing the concept of forest landscape restoration,carrying out pilot demonstration practice to carry out the necessary technical support to drive the exploration of landscape restoration,and formulating specific operational guidelines.Through discussion,it is expected to provide a broader perspective for the implementation and expansion of forest landscape restoration in China.
