title: [Assessing forest ecosystem health II. A case study].
abstract: On the bases of samples investment and related data collected by others, and with the method of health distance assessment and the ecosystem health index system of Korean pine and broad-leaved mixed forest established in prior paper, this paper attempted to assess the ecosystem health of Korean pine and broad-leaved mixed forest under various human disturbances. The results showed that the health degree was in the order of 20% intensity selective cutting stand (0.21) < 50% intensity selective cutting stand (0.44) < middle and mature birch stand (0.67) < youth birch stand (0.72) < Korean pine plantation (0.74) < larch plantation (0.77).
