中国森林生态网络体系统是根据自然、经济和社会状况,按照物质流、能量流和信息流相互联系的规律,将整个陆地看成一个生态系统,将不同类型的森林、草原、农田、荒山荒地、水域、城市、村庄等不同的巨斑块,以各斑块为生态点,以人类活动线、水量分布线、热量分布线为3条主线,以生态系统的功能特点为面而组成的点、线、面相结合的形式,建立起来的一种人、自然、社会的各自及相互间协调发展,立体多层次,具有一定格局动态的复合生态网络系统,该系统具有整体性、多功能性、高效性和可操作性,长期保持森林的多功能多效益、多方位整体作用的目的,从而使我国大部分地区的水土流失、荒漠化得到控制和改善,减轻风沙、旱涝、台风、海潮等各种自然灾害所造成的危害,提高国土保安能力,保障城镇及全国生态环境和人民安居乐业,促进社会文明进步和我国资源、环境与社会经济可持续发展.“,”Based on the current status of nature, economy and society, and in the light of interconnected patterns of material, energy and information flows, the Forest Eco-Network System in China (CFENS) is to be established to harmonizes the development of human, nature and society in this country, which is of integrity, multi-function, high efficiency and operability, and views the whole mainland as an ecosystem with different big parches consisting of different types of forests, grasslands, fields, barren hills and wasteland, waters, cities and villages. All parches are as individual ecological spots; human activity, precipitation distribu-tion and heat quantity are as three major lines; and the functional characteristics of ecosystems are as surfaces, CFENS is formed by the combination of spots, lines and surfaces. The integral roles of forests should be maintained in manner of safeguarding the long-term multi-functions, multi-effects and multi-directions, so that the water and soil loss, sandification and desertification in China could be controlled and improved, to decrease the damages from natural disasters of windy sand, drought and waterlogging, typhoon and seatide, to enhance the capacity of territory security, to safeguard the Chinese people to live and work in peace and contentment, to enhance social civilization and progress, and to promote the sustainable development of re-source , environment, society and economy.
