The circulation behavior of farmers' forest land is a decision-making process that integrates economic,cultural,social and other factors,and is an interaction and integration of economic motives and non-economic motives,which is an economic-social behavior.Based on the perspective of social embedding,this paper empirically analyzed the survey data of 1544 sample farmers in 10 provinces,30 counties in China through the multivariate logistic regression model.The resault showed that,circulation behavior of farmers' forest land was not only affected by the independent factors of farmers,but also deeply affected by social cognition,social culture,social network,political system and other social embedded factors,and the circulation behavior of farmers' forest land was a typical social and economic activity.Seven indicators,including forestry management experience,forestry policy cognition,market information cognition,herd imitation behavior,network relationship strength,network relationship communication frequency and government service awareness had significant positive directions for farmers' forest land inflow and outflow behavior,which basically met expectations.The issuance of forestry subsidies had a promoting effect on the inflow of forest land by farmers,the difficulty of applying for forest harvesting indicators had a promoting effect on the outflow behavior of forest land of farmers,and the plot of land love did not passed the significance test,and the significance results of these three indicators exceeded expectations,and to a certain extent,they also reflected the actual difficulties and problems in forestry production and operation.Finally,three policy suggestions were put forward,including regulating the order of forest rights circulation,strengthening forestry subsidy policies,and improving the stability of forestry policies,in order to further promote forest land circulation policies,achieve the optimal allocation of farmers,forest land,technology,capital and other elements,and promote the modernization and development of forestry.
