Abstract:

Objective: Measuring forestry and its three industries' contributions to ecological civilization, and comparing the other industries' contributions with forestry's contribution are favorable for managers to grasp the objective regulations those forestry has on ecological civilization, which can also support some references for managers to scientifically put forward some differentiation strategies of developing industries to stimulate the construction of ecological civilization better. Method: With the data of ten years from 2007 to 2016, firstly, the indicators of ecological civilization were optimized and their weightings were also determined with the method of PSIR-SEM according to these indicators. Secondly, by means of the coupling from indicators to indexes of Lotka-Volterra symbiotic model, threshold values and green degrees were calculated to respectively judge "stage and level" for ecological civilization in order based on the indicators and their weightings. Thirdly, the level of ecological civilization was put as the dependent variable and the levels of agriculture, forestry and its three industries, graziery, fishery, industrial, construction, transportation, science and technology, ecological environmental protection were put as the independent variables, the regression model was then built to estimate the coefficients of forestry and its three industries to ecological civilization. Finally, the contribution rates of forestry and its three industries to ecological civilization were calculated on basis of coefficients. Result: 1) The contribution rate of forestry to ecological civilization was positive and the largest, while the contribution rate of industry to ecological civilization was negative. The contribution rate of forestry, agriculture, ecological treat, science and technology, industry, construction, transportation, graziery and fishery to ecological civilization was decreasing successively. 2)The contribution rates of forestry three industries to ecological civilization from large to small were forestry primary industry (positive), forestry tertiary industry(positive)and forestry secondary industry(negative). Conclusion: The contribution rates of industries to ecological civilization depend on ecological benefits property of industries. The contribution rates of forestry three industries to ecological civilization present the feature of a "structure smiling curve".

Key words: forestry, forestry three industries, ecological civilization, contribution rates, structure smiling curve
