人工林與天然林在生態評估中存在顯著差異，這些差異源于兩者在形成過程、結構特征及功能定位上的根本區別。人工林作為人類主導營造的森林類型，其評估體系更側重于生產效能與目標達成度，而天然林的評估則強調生態完整性與自然演替規律。

　　There are significant differences between artificial forests and natural forests in ecological assessment, which stem from fundamental differences in their formation processes, structural characteristics, and functional positioning. As a forest type dominated by humans, the evaluation system of artificial forests focuses more on production efficiency and goal achievement, while the evaluation of natural forests emphasizes ecological integrity and natural succession laws.

　　在評估目標維度上，人工林的核心指標聚焦于生長效率與經濟產出。評估人員會重點分析單位面積蓄積量、輪伐期、木材等級等參數，例如通過胸徑、樹高、材積等生長量數據，判斷人工林是否達到預期經營目標。同時，人工林的經濟效益評估會涉及投入產出比、碳匯交易潛力等市場化指標，以驗證其作為可再生資源的經濟可行性。相比之下，天然林的評估更關注生態服務功能，如水源涵養能力、生物多樣性維護、土壤保持效能等。評估中需通過物種豐富度、群落結構穩定性、自然更新能力等指標，判斷其是否維持了健康的生態系統功能。

　　In terms of evaluating target dimensions, the core indicators of artificial forests focus on growth efficiency and economic output. Evaluators will focus on analyzing parameters such as unit area volume, rotation period, and wood grade, for example, by using growth data such as breast height diameter, tree height, and volume, to determine whether the artificial forest has achieved the expected management goals. At the same time, the economic benefits assessment of artificial forests will involve market-oriented indicators such as input-output ratio and carbon trading potential to verify their economic feasibility as renewable resources. In contrast, the assessment of natural forests focuses more on ecological service functions, such as water conservation capacity, biodiversity maintenance, soil conservation efficiency, etc. In the evaluation, indicators such as species richness, stability of community structure, and natural regeneration ability need to be used to determine whether it maintains healthy ecosystem functions.

　　結構復雜性是兩者評估差異的顯著體現。人工林通常呈現規則化種植模式，林分結構單一，評估時需重點考察其抗風險能力。例如，單一樹種的人工林可能因病蟲害或氣候波動導致系統性風險，評估中需通過混交比例、林層垂直結構等指標，分析其生態脆弱性。天然林則具有多層次、異齡化特征，評估需關注喬木層、灌木層、草本層的協同關系，以及枯立木、倒木等特殊結構要素的生態貢獻。天然林評估中，倒木的蓄積量、腐殖質層厚度等參數，能反映其物質循環與能量流動的自然狀態。

　　Structural complexity is a significant manifestation of the difference in evaluation between the two. Artificial forests usually exhibit a regular planting pattern, with a single stand structure. When evaluating, it is important to focus on their ability to resist risks. For example, artificial forests of a single tree species may face systemic risks due to pests, diseases, or climate fluctuations. In the assessment, ecological vulnerability needs to be analyzed through indicators such as mixed proportion and vertical structure of forest layers. Natural forests have multi-level and heterogeneous characteristics, and evaluation needs to focus on the synergistic relationship between the tree layer, shrub layer, and herb layer, as well as the ecological contribution of special structural elements such as dead and fallen trees. In the assessment of natural forests, parameters such as the accumulation of fallen trees and the thickness of humus layers can reflect the natural state of material cycling and energy flow.

　　在評估方法論層面，人工林評估傾向于標準化技術體系。例如，通過設置固定樣地，定期測量樹高、胸徑等因子，結合生長模型預測未來產量。這種方法強調數據的可重復性與可比較性，便于不同經營主體間的效益評估。天然林評估則需采用多維度監測技術，包括紅外相機監測動物活動、DNA條形碼分析物種組成、同位素示蹤技術解析物質循環等。例如，通過分析土壤微生物群落結構，可評估天然林生態系統的自我修復能力，這類指標在人工林評估中鮮少涉及。

　　At the methodological level of evaluation, the assessment of artificial forests tends towards a standardized technical system. For example, by setting up fixed plots and regularly measuring factors such as tree height and diameter at breast height, combined with growth models, future yields can be predicted. This method emphasizes the repeatability and comparability of data, facilitating the evaluation of benefits among different business entities. The assessment of natural forests requires the use of multidimensional monitoring techniques, including infrared cameras to monitor animal activity, DNA barcode analysis of species composition, isotope tracing technology to analyze material cycling, and so on. For example, by analyzing the structure of soil microbial communities, the self-healing ability of natural forest ecosystems can be evaluated, which is rarely involved in the assessment of artificial forests.

　　動態演替視角是兩者評估的深層差異。人工林評估通常以明確經營周期為前提，關注短期至中期的目標實現，如5-10年內的木材產量或碳匯增量。評估中需考慮間伐強度、補植密度等人為干預措施的效果。天然林評估則需納入百年尺度的演替規律，通過分析優勢樹種更替、林窗形成規律等，判斷其是否處于正向演替軌道。例如，天然闊葉林向頂級群落的演替進程，需通過建群種更新狀況、林下耐陰樹種比例等指標進行長期追蹤。

　　The dynamic succession perspective is the underlying difference between the two evaluations. The evaluation of artificial forests is usually based on a clear business cycle, focusing on achieving short-term to medium-term goals, such as increasing wood production or carbon sequestration within 5-10 years. The effectiveness of human intervention measures such as thinning intensity and replanting density should be considered in the evaluation. The assessment of natural forests needs to incorporate the succession patterns at a hundred year scale, and determine whether they are on a positive succession track by analyzing the succession patterns of dominant tree species and the formation of forest gaps. For example, the succession process of natural broad-leaved forests to top-level communities requires long-term tracking through indicators such as the renewal status of established species and the proportion of shade tolerant tree species under the forest.

　　在實踐應用中，人工林評估結果直接影響經營決策，如是否需要調整輪伐期、是否引入混交樹種等。而天然林評估結論更多服務于保護策略制定，如是否劃定核心保護區、是否需要人工輔助更新等。兩者評估體系的差異，本質上反映了人類對森林資源利用與保護的不同價值取向。隨著生態文明建設的推進，天然林評估中的生物多樣性指標與人工林評估中的近自然經營理念，正呈現融合趨勢，這要求評估體系需兼具科學性與實踐指導意義。

　　In practical applications, the evaluation results of artificial forests directly affect management decisions, such as whether to adjust the rotation period and whether to introduce mixed tree species. The conclusions of natural forest assessment serve more for the formulation of conservation strategies, such as whether to designate core protected areas and whether manual assistance is needed for updates. The difference between the two evaluation systems essentially reflects the different value orientations of human beings towards the utilization and protection of forest resources. With the advancement of ecological civilization construction, the biodiversity indicators in natural forest assessment and the near natural management concept in artificial forest assessment are showing a trend of integration, which requires the assessment system to have both scientific and practical guidance significance.
