森林资源具有涵养水源,净化空气,保持水土,森林和防护林带能减轻风、旱、涝等灾害;森林还具有维护生态平衡、美化环境、促使人体健康等方面的作用。但是由于长期高强度采伐,导致林区森林资源储量大幅度衰减,资源开发与生态保护、经济社会发展的矛盾日益突出。 Forest resources have the function of conserving water, purifying the air and maintaining soil and water, and forests and shelterbelts can mitigate wind, drought and waterlogging disasters. Forests also play a role in maintaining ecological balance, beautifying the environment and promoting human health. However, due to the long-term high-intensity harvesting, the forest resources reserves in forest areas have been greatly reduced, and the conflicts between resources development and ecological protection and economic and social development have become increasingly prominent.
