森林具有经济、生态、社会和文化功能。森林文态与森林生态相对应,是指在森林的自然、生命系统的基础上形成的人文精神的综合。近年来,我国城市化率已由1993年的28%提高到2008年的45.68%,城市森林生态保护有了长足的发展,但也存在着对森林文态保护重视不够、相关管理滞后等问题。为了加强城市森林文态保护和管理,研究认为,我国社会经济发展已走向成熟推进和消费阶段,森林文态保护是未来城市森林发展的灵魂,尤其是随着我国城市化水平的提高,城市森林文态保护将越来越受到重视。研究最后建议,应把城市森林文态保护纳入森林立法和管理,加强城市森林发展规划,突出物质财富生产和精神财富生产的有机结合,促进城市森林文态保护和绿色文化的发展。

Forests have economic, ecological, social and cultural functions. Forest cultural ecology corresponding to the forest ecology is the natural living systems formed on the basis of a comprehensive human spirit in forests. In recent years, China’s urbanization rate has increased from 28% in 1993 to 45.68% in 2008, urban forest ecological protection has made great progress in China, but there are problems such as insufficient attention being paid to the forest cultural ecological protection, management, related development lagging behind, etc. In order to strengthen the urban forest cultural ecological protection and management, this study pointed out that China’s social and economic development has approached to a mature and consumption phase, urban forest cultural ecological protection is the key to the future development of urban forestry, especially with the higher level of urbanization, hence urban forest cultural ecological protection will be paid more and more attention. The study suggested that urban forest cultural ecological protection should be taken into forest legislation and management, and should strengthen urban forestry development planning, highlight the integration of physical wealth with spiritual wealth, and promote urban forest cultural ecological protection and green cultural development in China.
