Abstract:

As an important component and functional factor of the global eco-system, forest is of great ecological significance. By photosynthesis, forest absorbs and stores carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. A net reserve, the forest carbon sink, is formed after the deduction of the released amount of carbon dioxide by respiration. Under the circumstance of low carbon economy, this paper analyzed the carbon cycle effects of "no forest participation", "forest hedge" and "forest recycling" in the relations between forests and carbon cycle based on the mechanism of forest carbon cycle. Referring to the economic significance of forest, this paper stated a basic principle that the forest recycling increases land supply and improves carbon cycle. Upon this basis, it is concluded that forestry industry development, which uses forests as the basic materials, is a win-win choice for both economic growth and environmental improvement. The improvement suggestion is proposed about the policy of transforming farmland to forests.

Key words: carbon cycle, forest recycling, forest industry development
