⑴ Background——Green credit is the main part of China’s green finance system. The interaction between green credit and technology innovation is an important driving force for the transformation and upgrading of the forestry industry structure, and also an important means to realize the high-quality development of modern forestry. To discuss the specific effects of green credit and technology innovation on China’s forestry industry structure can provide a theoretical basis for the high-quality development of modern forestry. ⑵ Methods——This paper proposes the research hypotheses by analyzing the potential impact mechanism of green credit (hpc) and forestry technology innovation (tepscore) on the forestry industry structure (nfishc）. Based on the panel data of 28 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) from 2008 to 2019,the static FGLS fixed effects model of C-D production function is used to explore the interaction effects of green credit and technology innovation on the forestry industry structure. Meanwhile, in order to solve the possible endogeneity problem of the model and analyze the influence of interaction terms on the interrelation between green credit and technology innovation, the lagged terms of the explained variables are added and the dynamic system GMM model is used to estimate the interaction of green credit and technology innovation on the forestry industry structure. ⑶ Results——Firstly, green credit and forestry technology innovation both play a significant role in promoting the forestry industry structure. Among them, every 1% increase in the level of green credit will increase the forestry industry structure by 0. 126%,every 1% increase in the level of forestry technology innovation will increase the forestry industry structure by 0. 114%. Secondly, the interaction between green credit and forestry technology innovation can indeed enhance their effects of promoting the optimization of forestry industry structure, what’s more, green credit and forestry technology innovation are threshold variables to each other and both of them have a single threshold effect on forestry industry structure. In particular, when the proportion of high energy-consuming interest expenditure is less than 3. 914,there will be a certain scale effect and agglomeration effect. Every 1% increase in the level of forestry technology innovation, the forestry industry structure will significantly increase by 0. 249%. However, when the effect of interaction terms on green credit and forestry technology innovation is further examined, it is found that the development of green credit is not conducive to forestry technology innovation and forestry technology innovation also has a significant negative impact on green credit. Finally, the analysis of the effect of control variables on the forestry industry structure shows that in the process of forestry production, only increasing labor input (fen) has a little effect on the forestry industry, and the effect is not significant. Excessive financial intervention (finf) is not conducive to the transformation of forestry structure. Urbanization level (urban), opening degree (op) and forest coverage rate (fcr) may not only promote the consumption and trade of the forest products, but also adversely affect the forestry industry economy. ⑷ Conclusions and Discussions——First, constantly optimize the investment environment of green credit and give full play to the role of financial regulatory departments in guiding and encouraging banks to develop green credit. Banks should actively implement green credit policies, taking credit scale, structures and efficiency into accounts to lead the development of forestry green enterprises. Second, based on the development status of forestry enterprises, continue to increase the cultivation of the innovative subjects, improve the level of human capital in forestry, promote the upgrading of forestry industry structure. Third, increase the investment in forestry research and development and education of forestry talents, improve the conversion rate of forestry technology patents, and pay attention to the deep integration of forestry technology innovation and forestry green credit to realize the high-quality development of forestry economy.

⑴ Background——Forest food is a kind of safe and high-quality food with economic benefits, ecological benefits and social benefits, mainly including forest grain and oil, forest fruits and vegetables, forest beverages, forest medicinal materials and so on. However, it is not well known by consumers and has not gained absolute competitive advantages even though such concepts as ecological protection and green development are widely spread. There are still lack of international researches on forest food, domestic researches on forest food only focus on the current situations and problems of forest food industry development, there are lack of researches on the forest food standards.⑵ Methods——Firstly, the establishment and development process of forest food standards in China were reviewed. Then, by comparing the system at the beginning of the establishment of the forest food standards with the current system, structural problems in the current system were found. Finally, by comparing the forest food group standards and the national standards of organic food, the problem of forest food positioning was found.⑶ Results——Through multidimensional comparison, the following three problems are found: First, the current industry standards and group standards, to varying degrees, still invoke some industry standards that have been abolished, even though some standards have been revised several times. These standards have lost their forces of law. Second, the group standards for forest food are confusing, fragmented and lack of validity. At present, there are two similar concepts in the domestic consumer markets——“forest food” and “eco-forest food”. Both of them are the inheritance of the concept of forest food, but their standards are different in the classification of forest food, environment of production areas, production processes and other aspects. The contradiction of the two group standards reduces the validity of the standards and tends to confuse consumers, which is not conducive to the establishment of forest food markets. In addition, the group standards are lack of operability, exploration, guidance and innovation. Third, the positioning of forest food is ambiguous. There is a contradiction between the quality positioning and quality grade of forest food, which does not match. Vague positioning not only easily leads to false publicity, but also hinders the establishment of forest food brands and reduces the market shares of forest food. Due to the lack of basic standards for forest food in China, the abolished basic standards have no value for improvement, and it is difficult to reach a consensus in formulating industry standards and group standards in the future, which will inevitably lead to confusion and fragment of forest food standards. Moreover, the intrinsic meaning and pursuit of forest food determine its possible choice of quality positioning, so we should strictly grasp the bottom line of standards formulation and consider its contents from multiple levels and perspectives. Therefore, only reconstruction can solve the problem of the forest food standards.⑷ Conclusions and Discussions——First, in the reconstruction of forest food standards system, three principles should be followed: industry standards define basic standards, local standards determine specific indicators, and group standards lead the development direction. We should give full play to the basic role of industry standards, the promoting role of local standards and the guiding role of group standards and make all levels of standards coordinated and complementary. Second, reposition forest food as “organic food with forest elements”, that is, forest food is a kind of organic food. We classify forest food as organic food, which not only contributes to the formulation of the standards, but also helps forest food establish its brand image, increase consumers’ willingness to pay for it, and help forest food enter the international markets as high-quality agricultural products. This paper puts forward these suggestions on the standards reconstruction of forest food from the perspective of promoting the development of forest food industry. However, how to balance the development of forest food industry and ecological protection is worthy of further discussion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background--The sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee points out that ecological civilization construction is a fundamental project concerning the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Protecting the ecological environment means protecting productive forces, and improving the ecological environment means developing productive forces. Forestry productivity is an indispensable part of productive forces. Forestry is the main force of ecological civilization construction in the new era. Forestry plays a unique and critical role in the ecological civilization construction. The high-quality development of forestry is inseparable from the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought. Only by thoroughly implementing Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought and fully implementing it in various forestry system reforms and system construction can forestry development be changed from "quantity" to "quality" a new leap forward. Methods--This paper systematically analyzes the development course of the CPC's promotion of forestry ecological construction by using historical analysis method, and makes a normative analysis and judgment on how the CPC promotes forestry ecological construction. Through the analysis of existing literatures and national policy documents, we can understand the new concept of high-quality forestry development contained in Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, and explore the practical path of high-quality forestry development guided by Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought. Results--First, there were four stages in the process of the CPC's promotion of forestry ecological construction. The New Democratic Revolution period (1921-1949): initiate local people to plant trees and begin to pay attention to the system to ensure forestry development; Socialist Revolution and Construction period (1949-1978): develop forestry in a planned way and protect forest ecology; The new era of Reform and Opening up and socialist modernization construction (1978-2012): Green forestry reform with "ecological focus"; the new era of socialism with Chinese Characteristics (2012-present): the sustainable development of forestry turns into a new stage of high-quality development. Second, the idea of sustainable forestry development contained in Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought is as follows: "Demand-oriented theory": carry out further afforestation to meet people's green demands; "Value-oriented theory": adhere to the green development of industry, make ecological forestry benefit people; "Goal-oriented theory": promote high-quality development of forestry and enhance ecological civilization level. Therefore, coordinating the construction of ecological civilization and the high-quality development of forestry, and striving to write the chapter of forestry, can build a green road and build a solid foundation of ecological culture for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Conclusions and Discussions--The practical path of promoting high-quality development of forestry under the guidance of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought: First, promote afforestation in a scientific way and improve the quality of forests; Second, get through the transformation path of "Two Mountains" and promote the development of forestry industry chain; Third, deepen forestry reform comprehensively and pour a new driving force for high-quality forestry development; Fourth, implement "Forestry Going Global" strategy, promote domestic and international dual circulation; Finally, set up a forestry science and technology service platform and promote the development of forestry productivity through science and technology innovation.

Background--In the process of "two mountains" transformation, some local governments focus on the short-term benefits, resulting in excessive consumption of natural resources, which leads to exposure of risks and lack of sustainable development; others emphasis on protection excessively, resulting in the difficulties to realize the effective development and utilization of various resources, which leads to the uresource curse". The successful transformation from "Green Mountains and Clear Water" to "Gold Mountains and Silver Mountains" requires not only analyzing the experience of the process, but also summarizing the basis of selection and realistic requirements. (2) Methods--Based on the policy texts and relevant cases, this paper seeks to explain the practical problems that perplex the transformation of "Two Mountains" from the following three aspects: selection basis, realization path and realistic requirements. (3) Results--The realization path of "Two Mountains" transformation can be either gradual or saltatory, but it needs to follow the development idea of "Point-Line-Plane-Cube" integration, systematically solve the problems of protection and restoration, resource activation and large-scale utilization of ecological value, and effectively connect the paths of different stages. In this process, the transformation idea from point to line is suitable for the primary stage of "Two Mountains" transformation, and the realization of ecological value of "Two Mountains" resources is fundamental; The transformation idea from line to plane is suitable for the medium-term stage of "Two Mountains" transformation, and the key is to realize the activation and development of "Two Mountains" resources; The transformation idea from plane to cube is suitable for the mature stage of "Two Mountains" transformation, and the key point is the large-scale and comprehensive utilization of "Two Mountains" resources. The ultimate goal of "Two Mountains" transformation should be to achieve the co-construction, co-governance and sharing of development achievements, it will become an important development engine for Rural Revitalization and ecological civilization in the new era. Conclusions and Discussions--The correct choice of "Two Mountains" transformation path lies in the accurate assessment of the policy demand, development basis and interest risk of "Two Mountains" resources in the region. First, it needs the benign interaction, mutual understanding and resonance between top, middle and first-line levels; Second, it needs the sufficient utilization of the comparative advantages of different regions based on the carrying capacity of resources and environment; Finally, it is necessary to take into account the potential risks and risk tolerance, and face up to the benefits and risks in the transformation process. To guarantee the smooth transformation of "Two Mountains", we need to take comprehensive consideration from the following three aspects: restrictive requirements, developmental requirements and supportability requirements. We should face up to the development limitations brought by resources constraints; coordinate the multidimensional goals of income distribution, industrial cultivation and regional coordination in the transformation process of "Two Mountains"; accelerate institutional innovation and constantly promote the modernization of China's ecological civilization governance system and capacity.

Background--At present, China has made great efforts to promote the development of cultural and creative tourism in forest regions. However, there are few studies on the cultural creativity of forest resources development in academic research. And it is difficult to quantify the traditional evaluation indicators, so there is a lack of reasonable countermeasures for the development of forest regions. (2) Methods--First of all, the analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method are adopted. The evaluation index system of sustainable development of cultural and creative tourism in forest regions is composed of 5 second-level evaluation indicators of economic sustainability, social sustainability, cultural sustainability, ecological environment sustainability, management sustainability and 4l third-level evaluation indicators. Secondly, 415 valid questionnaires were distributed. Taking Longtan Village as a pilot project, this paper demonstrates the scientificity and rationality of the evaluation index system. Finally, we draw conclusions and put forward some suggestion. (3) Results--Through calculation, the ranking of evaluation indicators is as follows: ecological environment sustainability (0. 348), social sustainability (0. 253), cultural sustainability (0. 241), management sustainability (0. 093), economic sustainability (0. 065). At the same time, it is calculated that the sustainable score of cultural and creative tourism in Longtan village forest regions is 3. 930. Therefore, we believe that the cultural and creative tourism in the forest region is basically sustainable: the ecological environment of the forest region is beautiful, the government supports the development of the forest region greatly, the social governance of new and old residents is harmonious and the innovation of the leadership of the Party Committee is beneficial. However, there are also deficiencies: because it is difficult to meet the psychological demands of novelty, the participation of tourists in cultural and creative activities is not prominent. The connotation of cultural creativity in forest regions is not excavated enough, and cultural creativity and cultural exchanges need to be strengthened. What' s more, the publicity and protection of rural environment are not enough, and public health and waste disposal need to be improved. Last but not least, residents' willingness and ability to participate are not adapted. ⑷ Conclusions and Discussions--In order to improve the sustainability of the development of cultural and creative tourism in forest regions, it is suggested that the relevant departments should formulate special support policies for cultural and creative tourism in forest regions, promote the construction of infrastructure, and increase industrial support. At the same time, we should strengthen the awareness of pluralistic co-governance, smooth the ways of pluralistic co-governance, adhere to the party building to lead cultural creation, innovate the development model of forest regions, increase the publicity of cultural and creative activities in forest regions, integrate culture and science and technology, and develop new business types to enhance tourists" sense of participation and interactive experience. In addition, it is expected that the planning and design of cultural and creative tourism products, in-depth excavation of cultural connotation. And also we should strengthen environmental improvement, improve the governance capacity and effectiveness of forest regions and protect the ecological environment of forest regions. Finally, it is very necessary to attach importance to the construction of human capital, absorb compound talents and strengthen the vocational skills training of residents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
