ABSTRACT
National Forest Park is the highest hierarchy of nature reserve system in China, which provides
enormous ecosystem service values (ESV). However, few researchers focus on its coupling with socioeconomics.
Here we analyze temporal and spatial variation of ecosystem service value of National
Forest Parks (FESV) under the transformation of forest policy and market demand at national scale,
and spatial dynamics of coupling coordination degree between FESV and socio-economics at different
stage. The results show that temporal variation of FESV exhibit obvious phase characteristics, with
the third phase has the largest growth rate (50.71). The spatial evolution of FESV has gone through
a process from point to area, mainly showing aggregation distribution concentrated in Heilongjiang,
Sichuan and Tibet, accounting for 32.08% of nationwide total ESV. The coupling coordination degree
between FESV and socio-economic develop from maladjusted to transitional and then to coordinated
stage, which has reached 0.83 at the fourth stage. By the end of the fourth stage, up to 20 provinces
develop over transitional stage, but 17 provinces are still at maladjusted stage. These results indicate
that further research and management should focus on how to balance socio-economic development and
the construction of National Forest Parks.
