Abstract
To implement the development concept of “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”, China began to implement a ban on commercial logging of natural forests in 2015. The implementation of the ban has affected the structural adjustment of China's forestry industry. Based on the analysis of the internal relationship between the logging ban policy and industrial structure adjustment, this study uses the grey relational analysis method to explore the dynamic changes in China's forestry industry structure before and after the implementation of the natural forest logging ban policy and predict the development of China's forestry industry in the next 12 years through the GM (1, 1) model. Research shows that the implementation of the ban policy has the greatest impact on the development of the tertiary industry. The planting and collection of economic forest products have become an important industry in the primary industry, and enterprises are gradually shifting their focus to non-wood forests. Forest tourism and leisure services have become green and key industries with great growth potential in the forestry tertiary industry. In the future, China will maintain the industrial pattern of “two, one and three,” and the industrial structure will continue to be optimized.
