Progress of Forest Eco-Product Value Realization and Eco-Industry: Implications for Closing Mountain for Afforestation under Karst Desertification Control

The research on forest ecological product (eco-product) value realization and ecological industry(eco-industry) has become a current hotspot. In order to facilitate scholars’ understanding of the progress of existing research, this paper, based on 286 retrieved documents, statistically analyzes the research content, regional distribution, etc. And the following understandings were obtained: (1) The current volume of publications as a whole shows a trend of steady increase year by year, and China is the country with the largest volume of publications, accounting for more than half. (2) The research content mainly focuses on four aspects: supply capacity assessment, value accounting, value realization mechanism and eco-industry of eco-products. (3) It puts forward the problems of insufficient supply and slow development of industry at the present stage, deepens the deficiencies of the existing research and analyzes its inspiration for the future development of mountain forestation areas in rocky desertification control. Aims at providing forest practitioners and relevant decision makers with information for managing and regulating the supply capacity of forest eco-products and eco-industries. At the same time, it also provides ecological restoration technicians with a path to think about optimizing forest ecosystems for rocky desertification control.
