Abstract EN
China is a country rich in diverse forest ecosystems due to the large span of the country, complex topography, and multiple climate regimes.
In this paper, the basic information of forest resources in China was briefly introduced and the current state in the measurements of forest biodiversity and the establishment of forest biodiversity index systems in related studies were reviewed.
The results showed that a lot of studies on forest biodiversity have been conducted mostly at landscape or stand level in China and the commonly used biodiversity indicators were identified and compared.
Several comprehensive forest biodiversity index systems were proposed.
However, there are still some problems during the construction of forest biodiversity assessment system.
Due to the late establishment of biodiversity monitoring system in China, the availability of data that could be included in a forest biodiversity index system is limited, which hurdles the precise assessment of forest biodiversity.
It is suggested to develop long-term monitoring stations and keep data recording consistently.
Concerns should also be given to the construction of the framework of the forest biodiversity index system and the determination of the indicators’ weight.
The results will provide reference for the establishment of national or regional forest biodiversity evaluation indicator systems in China.
