Abstract

Greenhouse gas emissions seem to have thrown global warming into an irreversible spiral, while the scarcity of forest resources also facilitates the global greenhouse effect. Unfortunately, irrational forest management plans are adding to the problem of today's low carbon society and economy. By applying the OSM model (object-strategy-management), a clear framework is established between the carbon sequestration model and the forest management decision system which is divided into the Forest Management Level Index (FLI): WFLI and MFLI. Meanwhile, each index's weights and related indicators were obtained and incorporated into FLI by EWM. Overall, the model constructed in this paper provides a set of scientific and effective solutions for forest management decisions, and in the end, the rationality and strengths and weaknesses of the model are analyzed and the future is prospected.
