【Abstract】 In this paper, the ecological benefits of Soil and Water Conservation Forests planted with Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis) were assessed for 101 plots in Western Liaoning Province by using the comprehensive-index assessment method. The comprehensive-index assessment method is an indirect but effective method used for estimation, especially when the main functional indices are difficult to measure. In order to use this method, a system of estimation indices assessing the ecological benefits of forests was designed for Western Liaoning, including estimation criteria and classification of benefits. The types of forest ecological benefits were classified based on the weight value of every index (by Analytic Hierarchy Process, i.e. AHP) and the comprehensive estimate index (from the survey materials of forest stands).The Soil and Water Conservation Forests of Western Liaoning Province were divided into five classes using the comprehensive-index assessment method: lower-benefit forest, low-benefit forest, middle-benefit forest, high-benefit forest and higher-benefit forest. Most forests of the Niuheliang, Qitian, and Nanliuzhangzi regions were classified as low-benefit, middle-benefit, and high-benefit forests respectively. In Niuheliang region, lower-benefit, low-benefit and middle-benefit forests accounted for 79.4%, 14.7% and 5.9% respectively. In Qitian region, lower-benefit forest, low-benefit and middle-benefit forests were 4.5%, 22.7%, 72.7% respectively. In Nanliuzhangzi region, high-benefit and higher benefit forests were 16.7% and 83.3% respectively. The results showed that forest structural integrity (especially the forests’ layer structure) has a great significance in the ability of Soil and Water Conservation Forests to provide ecosystem services. In particular, a key task for ecosystem management in these pine forests is the conservation of the herbage layer and the litter layer on the forest floor. The policy of forest protection should be adopted as an effective approach for ecosystem management in Soil and Water Conservation Forests planted with Chinese pine in Western Liaoning Province.更多还原
