Abstract:

According to the methods of environmental economics to calculate the economical assessment value of eco-environment service functions provided by fast-growing and high-yielding timber forest by the methods of quantitative and semi-quantitative converting，and then with the monetary form to reflect the ecological service functions value given by fast-growing and high-yielding timber forest planted for the production of timber to human society. The empirical evaluation was applied to fast-growing and high-yielding timber forest in Fujian province as case study. The results show that the indirect economic value of eco-environment service per year，such as water conservation，soil conservation，carbon sequestration release oxygen，purify air，biodiversity conservation，and other ecological functions provided by fast-growing and high-yielding timber forest，is 54.892 427 4 billion yuan，but the direct economic value to provide forest products is only 8.815 4 billion yuan yearly．The results indicate that the indirect value of eco-environment service provided by fast-growing and high-yielding timber forest is far greater than the direct economic value to provide forest products．
