Abstract: In this paper the multilayer of the digital forestry system and the structure of the service-oriented architecture based on digital forestry technical platform were introduced in detail. As an application demonstration the forest resources management application system has been developed on the base of the technical platform and forestry elementary database. The implementation,operation pattern and main functions of the application system have been further described with emphasis. The research has showed that development of the forest resources management application system was based on the service-oriented technical platform so that the repeatability,expansibility and mutual manipulability of the application system have been strengthened. Such a development method will be the uptrend for application system development later.

Key words: digital forestry platform, Web service, forest resources, application system
