Abstract:
By analyzing a series of new developments in psychology, this article probes into the transformation of psychology from the physics metaphor to an ecology paradigm. A series of new psychological fields that appeared in the end of the 20th century have embodied the ecological ideology. Some of the examples are the theory of inter-subjectivity, narrative psychology, transpersonal psychology, positive psychology, evolutionary psychology, social constructionist psychology and so forth. The new developments of traditional psychological fields such as personality psychology, social psychology, and cultural psychology have also been incorporating the ecological viewpoints. The author suggests that all these fields be included in the concept of ecologistic psychology. An ecologistic psychology applies systematic, holistic, and historic views to all fields of psychological inquiries and thus leads to a whole transformation of research paradigm. The construction and development of psychology as a discipline should be directed by ecologistic perfective and should synthesize and reconciliate the divergent approaches and methods such as scientific and humanistic methods, quantitative and qualitative approaches, and behavior observational and introspective methods. Therefore, ecologistic psychology implies an ecologistic view on the understanding of the intrapsychic world, the investigation of the correlations between the inner world and the outer environment, and the adoption the methods for psychological inquiries.

Abstract:
Apple is an ancient fruit in China, with a cultivation history of more than 2 000 years. However, few people have recognized that in different historical periods there are different varieties and names of apple. According to relevant historical sources and archeological information, early apples planted in ancient China were mainly varieties originated in western Xingjiang, which were called Nai (Malus domestica subsp. Chinensis) and Linqin(Malus asiatica). The latter was more favored. Since the Tang Dynasty there appeared some new varieties of apple such as Qiuzi, Bimba, Haihong, and etc. Bimba is a red flesh apple (Malus pumila var. niedzwetzkyana)probably also originated in Xingjiang, whose name comes from the Buddhist sutras. It was favored by people after Yuan Dynasty, and was called Pingguoin short from the Ming Dynasty. Since the second half of 19th century, apples cultivated in China were mainly varieties introduced from western countries. Though with the same name of Pingguo, they were very different from those varieties in ancient China. Meanwhile, names such as Nai, Linqin, and etc, were forgotten gradually. From this case study, we can find that it is not reliable to deduce ancient cultivated plants according to those of the same names today.

Abstract:
Since the ancient times, China has got the tradition of building military defense projects using forest trees. Because of the need for military defense capabilities around the borders with Liao, Jin, Western Xia, Tibetan,and Dali, the Song Dynasty did a lot to construct and protect the border forest in Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan provinces, the area between the Yangtze and Huai rivers, and Jingxiang district. In view of the timing and scope,the border forest was found to be the result of deliberate management of the Song Dynasty, which regarded the policy of border forest as an important part of the national defense policy. Despite intermittent construction, the border forest still played an important role in the stability of the border, and had positive impacts on local peoples lives and ecological environment.

Abstract:
Through analysis of the data received from wooden furniture enterprises and association at Dalingshan Town in Guangdong Province, this paper discusses the possible impacts of the EU Timber Regulation on Chinese wooden furniture export enterprises. The study finds that most enterprises have a low degree of cognition of and attention to the EU Timber Regulation and their response to it is rather passive. Most enterprises admit that the EU Timber Regulation helps to combat illegal logging, but they believe it's a new trade barrier on the other hand. The implementation of the EU Timber Regulation will significantly increase the cost of Chinese enterprises to export products to the EU, and reduce their competitive advantage as well as market share in EU market. Finally, the paper puts forward some suggestions for Chinese wooden furniture export enterprises, including improving the enterprises'coping and cognitive abilities, exploring new markets and optimizing the industrial structure.

Abstract:
Based on the survey data of Jianning County, Fujian Province, and using Binary Logistic Regression Model, this research explores the factors that influence the farmers'willingness to plant energy trees as well as their behavior mechanisms. The study shows that the education level of the household head, forest land area, the share of forest income in total family income, and expectations about bio- energy forest construction have significant effects. When the head of the household has a high level of education, the household has a large area of forest land, the level of forest income accounts little in the total family income and the farmers are optimistic about bio-energy forest construction, they are more likely to turn their planting willingness into planting behavior. Therefore the government should step up publicity, formulate relevant policies, and provide seedlings and planting training for farmers so as to stabilize their income expectation and reduce their participation risk. The creation of incentive policies can greatly enhance the farmers'participating willingness.

Abstract:
Increasing forest carbon sequestration has been widely accepted as an important measure to cope with climate change. Taking 11 counties from Zhejiang,Jiangxi and Fujian provinces as the object and based on survey data of 310 households,this paper conducts a descriptiveanalysis of rural households' cognition and management willingness of forest carbon sequestration. UsingLogistic Model, this paper also makes a quantitative analysis of factors influencing rural households' management willingness of forest carbon sequestration. The research shows that factors, such as the number of times of households' receiving silvicultural training, quality of forest land, attitude towards participation and regional differences, have significant impactson the households' management willingness of participating in forest carbon sequestration. Finally, under the premise that carbon sequestration can be used for transaction, this paper analyzesthese factors so as to provide references for the government to carry out forest carbon sequestration management reasonably.

Abstract:
It has become more and more evident that forest sequestration sink plays an important role in coping with climate change. Analysis of carbon sequestration policy based on CGE model can provide a solid basis for policy design. The prerequisite of CGE model construction is to build the social accounting matrix (SAM) of the forestry sector. Based on the 2007 Input-Output Tables of China an taking account of other statistical data, this paper compiles the 2007 Chinese social accounting matrix of the forestry sector. This SAM checks the accounts related with the forestry sector, and reasonably estimates the data not included in the statistical yearbook. It can serve as the data basis for the modeling and application of CGE model.

Abstract:
Illegal logging has greatly influenced global forestry product trade. It reduces forest area and causes great harm to ecological environment. This paper studies the policies regarding the governance of illegal logging and trading of wood. Through the analysis of the measures taken by producing, processing and consuming counties to deal with the illegal logging, the paper discusses the present conditions of the policies of governance and puts forward the construction of ecological supply chain system. By analyzing China's import and export situation of forestry product, the paper gets the result that China plays the role of a processing country in the global trading chain of wood forestry product. Finally with regard to the ecological supply chain, it proposes main coping policies for both the government and enterprises.

Abstract:
Recently, forest tenure rights mortgage loan has achieved preliminary development as the supporting system of collective forest tenure rights system reform. Meanwhile, factors such as the high risk have restricted its promotion throughout the country and forest tenure rights has not become a widely- accepted collateral yet. Based on the loan process and survey data of risk status in Yunnan, this paper analyzes three main risks of forest tenure rights mortgage loan, namely the legal risk, the credit risk and the risk of taking forestr property rights as the collateral, and proposes corresponding solutions and policy recommendations. The paper argues that by optimizing the design of the system and financial innovation, defining the scope of forest tenure rights mortgage appropriately, establishing a prudent and effective risk management mechanism, and improving the system of forest tenure rights mortgage assessment, post-loan management, information sharing and transaction as well as the system of forest insurance and risk compensation mechanism, we can effectively control the credit risk, and achieve sustained and coordinated development of forestry and finance.

Abstract:
This study collected data in six typical urban green spaces in Hangzhou: the Western City Square, the Bai Causeway, the West Lake Culture Square, the Wu Shan Square and the Citizen Center, all being main sites where residents do their daily outdoor activities. It surveyed urban residents'outdoor recreational activity tendencies in green space, analyzed the correlation between recreation needs (the desire to be close to urban green space) and residents'demographic and socio-economic characteristics, and explored the effect of recreational activities on residents'physical and psychological benefits and the overall quality of life. The results show that most of the respondents'recreation needs ranked middle to high degree, and residents'recreation needs for green space vary significantly with their age and education background. Recreational activities in green space could enhance vitality, smooth mood, relieve fatigue, and accordingly increase the perceived quality of life. Based on these results, this paper concludes with suggestions of constructing more accessible, high quality and diversified functional urban green space in order to encourage more outdoor visits and better outdoor activities, to meet residents' diversified recreation needs, and to exploit public health benefits of urban green space to the full.

Abstract:
ung Lok Wai is the precedent of public and private partnership scheme in wetland conservation in Hong Kong, whose developer tried its best in the past 20 years. Apart from some ecological problems like fishpond, noise, birds, and firefly, privatization of wetland and public participation have also become tough problems challenging the developer and the government. The Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region launched New Nature Conservation Policyin 2004 to encourage cooperation between public and private sectors. The policy listed 12 prior sites to develop and Fung Lok Wai ranked the 9th among them. When others were questioning the effectiveness of public and private partnership in wetland conservation, Fung Lok Wai has gained great attention from both its fans and objectors. The success of Fung Lok Wai has great influence not only on political strategies in Hong Kong but also on wetland management in mainland China. With the drop-out of WWF in May of 2013, the story of Fung Lok Wai has reached the climax. This paper analyzes the design and commercial factors in this project, and puts forward the primary cause which has been delaying this scheme. Land privatization and public participation should be fully considered in wetland conservation, especially under the context of public and private partnership. This paper aims to provide a clear institutional reference for developers and government in Hong Kong as well as mainland China.
