Abstract: Forest health assessment has been the urgent task of forestry research. Community Structure-Diversity Index Model was first put forward through studies of 16 fixed plots in forest health experimental area, Badaling Forest Center, and forest health rating was drawn up on community structure and species diversity level (CSDI): >15.0(healthy), 10.1~15.0 (sub-healthy), 6.1~10.0(unhealthy), <6.0 (extremely unhealthy). The results showed that, in the 16 plots, there are: 4 healthy communities(P10, P11, P12 and P16), 5 sub-healthy communities(P3, P5, P7, P9 and P14), 5 unhealthy communities(P6, P8, P13 and P15), 3 extremely unhealthy communities(P1, P2 and P4). Based on the practical effect, it can be concluded that Community Structure-Diversity Index is scientific, feasible and it can provide references for Beijing forest health assessment.
