Study of Green Accounting for Forest in the Greater Hinggan Mountains in Heilongjiang of China
黑龙江大兴安岭森林绿色核算研究

This paper has calculated the physical value,monetary value and green GDP for forest and so on in the Greater Hinggan Mountains in Heilongjiang Province in China from 1997 to 2003 based on green accounting summary both at home and abroad.The accounting result indicates that the eaGDP(environmentally adjusted GDP)was 3.819 billion yuan in 1997 and 5.734 billion yuan in 2003,an annual increase of 7.01% annually from 1997 to 2003.At the same time,the eaNDP(environmentally adjusted NDP)was 2.570 billion yuan in 1997 and 3.925 billion yuan in 2003,an annual increase of 7.31% in the same period.In addition,the balance sheet and wealth table have been valuated in the Greater Hinggan Mountains.The result of valuation shows that there was a decreasing tendency for the values of forest land,the forest stocks and the forest social benefits,as well as an increasing tendency for the values of forest environment services from 1997 to 2003.All this reflects that forest land and the forest stocks have been over exploited and used in the sociaeconomic development in the Greater Hinggan Mountains in Heilongjiang.It also shows that the proportions of green GDP to GDP,and the forest resources to the wealth display the decreasing tendencies,indicating that the potential supports of forest resources to national economic development declined generally although the growth volume exceeded the consumption volume.This is an indication of sustainable management of forest resources after the implementation of natural forest protection project in the Greater Hinggan Mountains.Finally,this paper suggests that research on the policy of compensating ecology should be strengthened,and green wealth policy should be formulated so as to positively carry out the forest sustainable management countermeasures and to ensure the sustainable development and the green wealth growth in the Greater Hinggan Mountains in Heilongjiang in the future.
