Forest cover in 1978 and 2003

By 2030, China's forest coverage rate will reach about 25%. The forest stock reached 19 billion cubic meters, and carbon dioxide emissions reached a peak and achieved a steady decline. The wetland protection rate has reached 52%, and 100 million mu of desertified land has been controlled.

The pilot task of the national park system has been completed, the integration and optimization of nature reserves have been steadily promoted, and the population of more than 300 endangered wild animals and plants has increased steadily. Implement major projects for ecological protection and restoration. We will further promote large-scale land greening actions, consolidate the results of returning farmland to forests and grasslands, and expand the total amount of forest and grass resources.

Forest cover distribution:

The forest coverage rate of all countries in the world: 64% in Japan, 61% in South Korea, about 60% in Norway, 54% in Sweden, 50-60% in Brazil, 44% in Canada, 30% in Germany, 33% in the United States, 29% in France, 23% in India, China, 0% in Egypt. Global forests are concentrated in South America, Russia, Central Africa and Southeast Asia.

These four regions account for 60 per cent of the world's forests, with Russia, Brazil, Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo being the most important, with 40 per cent of the world's forests in the four countries.

In 2030, China's forest coverage rate will reach about 25%. In recent years, people have seen that the barren land has become an oasis, and the Loess Plateau has been dressed in green. According to statistics, the forest coverage rate has increased to more than 17.5 billion cubic meters, and the national planted forest area has expanded to 100 million mu, making China the country with the largest growth in forest resources and the largest artificial afforestation area in the world.

Forests are the largest carbon reservoir in terrestrial ecosystems and play an important role in regulating the climate and mitigating global warming. By the end of 2020, the country's forest area was 100 million hectares, the comprehensive vegetation coverage of grasslands had reached more than 50%, the wetland protection rate had reached more than 50%, and the carbon reserves of forest vegetation had reached 100 million tons.

Improve the carbon sink capacity of ecosystems, and implement major projects for ecological protection and restoration. We will further promote large-scale land greening actions, consolidate the results of returning farmland to forests and grasslands, and expand the total amount of forest and grass resources. Strengthen the protection of forest resources, implement precise forest quality improvement projects, and improve forest quality and stability.

Strengthen the ecological protection and restoration of grasslands, and improve the comprehensive vegetation coverage of grasslands.

Strengthen the protection and restoration of rivers, lakes and wetlands. Promote the protection and restoration of marine ecosystems as a whole, and improve the carbon sequestration capacity of mangroves, seagrass beds, salt marshes, etc. Strengthen the restoration and management of degraded land, carry out comprehensive treatment of desertification, rocky desertification and soil erosion, and implement ecological restoration projects for historical mines.

By 2030, the national forest coverage rate will reach about 25%, and the forest stock will reach 19 billion cubic meters.

25% or so.

The 14th Five-Year Plan for the Protection and Development of Forestry and Grassland proposes that by 2025, the forest coverage rate will reach 18 billion cubic meters, laying a solid foundation for achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

By 2030, China's forest coverage rate will reach about 25%, forest stock will reach 19 billion cubic meters, and carbon dioxide emissions will peak and achieve a steady decline.

Calculation method: When calculating the forest coverage rate, the forest area includes the area of arbor forest land above canopy density, the area of bamboo forest land, and the area of shrub forest land specially stipulated by the state.

Forest coverage is an important indicator to reflect the abundance and ecological balance of forest resources.

Different countries take different approaches to the calculation of forest cover.

For example, China's forest coverage rate refers to the percentage of land area of arbor forests, bamboo forests, and shrub forests specially designated by the state above canopy density.

Due to the constraints and influences of the geographical environment, the regional distribution of forests is very uneven.

By 2013, the national forest coverage rate had not reached 40 percent.

Before 1949, China's forest coverage rate was only about 12% for 30 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the 40 years since the early 80s of the 20th century, the forest coverage rate has increased from 2020 to 2020, which is equivalent to 10% more land area being greened in 40 years, and China has also become the fastest growing area in the world.

As a result, the national forest coverage rate did not reach 40% by 2013.

The State Forestry Administration announced the results of the eighth national forest resources inventory on the 25th. The inventory shows that China's forest coverage rate is:

According to Zhao Shucong, director of the State Forestry Administration, the eighth national forest resources inventory began in 2009 and ended in 2013, lasting five years. The inventory shows that the national forest area is 100 million hectares, the forest coverage rate, and the forest accumulation is 100 million cubic meters. The area of planted forests is 100 million hectares, with an accumulation of 100 million cubic meters.

Zhao Shucong said that during the interval between the seventh and eighth inventories, China's total forest volume continued to grow. The forest area increased from 100 million hectares to 100 million hectares, a net increase of 12.23 million hectares; The forest coverage rate has increased by one percentage point; The forest stock increased from 100 million cubic meters to 100 million cubic meters, a net increase of 100 million cubic meters.

The quality of forests is constantly improving. The volume of forests per hectare increased by cubic meters to cubic meters; The average annual growth per hectare is increased to cubic meters. With the increase of total forest quantity and quality, the ecological function of forest is further enhanced.

The total carbon storage of forest vegetation in China is 100 million tons, the annual water conservation capacity is 100 million cubic meters, the annual soil consolidation volume is 100 million tons, the annual fertilizer retention volume is 100 million tons, the annual pollutant absorption volume is 100 million tons, and the annual dust retention volume is 100 million tons.

In terms of classification, the area of natural forests increased from 119.69 million hectares to 121.84 million hectares, an increase of 2.15 million hectares. The stock of natural forests has increased from 100 million cubic meters to 100 million cubic meters, an increase of 100 million cubic meters.

The area of planted forests increased from 61.69 million hectares to 69.33 million hectares, an increase of 7.64 million hectares; The stock of planted forests has increased from 100 million cubic meters to 100 million cubic meters, an increase of 100 million cubic meters. It is worth mentioning that the area of planted forests continues to rank first in the world.

It is understood that China's forest resources inventory began in the 70s of the last century, using the internationally recognized continuous inventory method of forest resources. Nearly 20,000 survey and scientific research personnel were invested in the eighth national forest resources inventory, and modern scientific and technological means such as satellite remote sensing and sample plot survey and measurement were used.

China is now shifting away from the pursuit of GDP"Scientific outlook on development"。But China has already paid too much. By the end of 2000, China's forest area was only 100 million hectares, and the forest coverage rate was only 61.3 percent of the world's forest coverage rate, and the country's per capita forest area was only equivalent to the world's per capita hectares.

Japan's domestic forest coverage rate is nearly 64, making it one of the highest in the world.

China ranks fifth in the world in terms of forest area. China accounts for 100 million hectares of forest area in the world, accounting for 14% of the world's forest coverage rate. Chinese ranks 119th in the world in terms of per capita forest area.

The world has a per capita share of forest hectares, developing countries have a per capita hectare, and developed countries have a per capita hectare.

China's total forest stock ranks 8th in the world. China's total forest stock is 100 million cubic meters, accounting for 384 billion cubic meters of the world's total forest stock.

The average hectare of forest volume in China is lower than the world average. The average volume of forests per hectare in China is 96 cubic meters, and the average volume of forests per hectare in the world is 114 cubic meters per hectare.

Chinese have one of the lowest forest stocks per capita in the world. The per capita forest stock in the world is cubic meters, while the per capita forest stock in Chinese is only cubic meters.

The area of artificial forests in Chinese accounts for about 50% of the total area of planted forests in developing countries in the world. Developing countries lose an average of 10,000 hectares of natural forests every year, while China disappears an average of 400,000 hectares per year.

The biomass per hectare of China's forests is higher than the world average. The average biomass per hectare of forests in China is 157 tonnes, compared to the world average of 131 tonnes. China's total forest biomass reached 16,009 million tons, accounting for the world's total.

The State Forestry Administration organized and completed the sixth national inventory of forest resources, which began in 1999 and ended in 2003, lasted 5 years, mobilized more than 20,000 survey and scientific research personnel, costed 100 million yuan, and was the first time in China to survey the forest resources covering the land area of the mainland, collecting 100 million sets of survey data, involving the area, accumulation, structure, quality, distribution and growth consumption of the forest and the impact on the ecology. The results of the inventory show that the forest area is 100 million hectares, the forest coverage rate is 100 million cubic meters, and the forest accumulation is 100 million cubic meters.

The conservation area of plantations is 100 million hectares, that is, 100 million mu, and the accumulation of 100 million cubic meters is 100 million cubic meters, and the area of plantations ranks first in the world. It has the sixth largest forest area in the world.

In 1978, China's forest cover area was 100 million hectares, accounting for 100 million hectares of the country's total area. At the end of 2003, China's forest area was 158.94 million hectares, with a forest coverage rate.

China's forest coverage rate is: China's forest coverage rate is only equivalent to the world's forest coverage rate (27); The national per capita forest area and per capita forest stock are equivalent to 1 5 and 1 8 respectively of the world per capita level
