The relationship between ecological environment and human’s living habitat is becoming more and more close, which provides the necessary material conditions for human’s living. The progress and development of society cannot be separated from the supply of ecological resources’ raw materials. However, because of the characteristics of ecological asset value, it is difficult to express its value directly in the form of money. Therefore, human beings often ignore part of its actual hidden value, which leads to the failure to treasure and rationally use natural resource. Man’s influence on the ecological environment is increasing day by day. Taking the Yellow River Delta as an example, this paper analyzes and evaluates the value of its ecological resource asssets, calculates the value of various ecological resource assets by using the recovery cost method, the market method, and the results reference method, and finally obtains the total value of ecological assets. In the form of concrete data, it shows the actual value of the ecosystem and improves people’s understanding of the ecological value.

“…In the absence of human beneficiaries, ecosystem functions are not ES, in other words, ES reflect environmental conditions and human needs [26]. ES and ecosystem functions do not necessarily follow a one-to-one relationship, as one ecosystem functions can provide two or more services [27]. For example, forests not only provide timber and fruits, but also conclude Carbon storage.…”

In recent years, in the face of the deterioration of the ecological environment, the research on forest ecological assets (FEA) has increasingly become a focal area of ecological research. To understand the current research progress and future prospects, this paper classifies and summarizes the main progress and achievements related to FEA in terms of theoretical studies, index systems, technical methods, and accounting models. In view of the existing research results, this paper proposes seven key scientific and technical problems and prospects to be solved, including the unification of the concept of ecological assets, the focus of future research on FEA, the construction of an evaluation index system according to local conditions, the integration of data assimilation methods that complement ground and remote sensing observations, the study of the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of forest ecological assets, the study of the net value of FEA, and the preservation and appreciation of FEA.

“…The gross domestic product (GDP) of China has maintained an average annual growth rate of about 10% from the early 90s to 2011 [8], and this achievement has attracted worldwide attention. However, ecological problems have increased continually during the last 30 years, accelerating the depletion of resources and the environment that China's economy and society rely on, and seriously hindering the dream of ordinary people to pursue a beautiful and livable life [9]. The government has also realized the seriousness of the deterioration of the ecological environment [10].…”

The urbanization process all over the world has caused serious ecological and environmental problems which have recently become a focus for study. Ecological footprint analysis, which is widely used to assess the sustainability of regional development, can quantitatively measure the human occupation of natural capital. In this study, the ecological footprint based on net primary production (EF-NPP) and MODIS data were used to measure the ecological footprint in Xuzhou central area from 2005 to 2014. The results showed that from 2005 to 2014, the per capita ecological footprint increased from 1.06 to 1.17 hm2/person; the per capita ecological capacity decreased from 0.10 to 0.09 hm2/person; the per capita ecological deficit increased from −0.96 to −1.09 hm2/person; and the ecological pressure index increased from 6.87 to 11.97. The composition of the ecological footprint showed that grassland contributed most to the ecological footprint and deficit, and cultivated land contributed most to the ecological capacity. The spatial distribution of the ecological footprint changed significantly, especially in the expansion of the area of lower value. The ecological capacity and deficit changed little. The ecological situation in Xuzhou central area was unbalanced. Based on this study, Xuzhou city was recommended to control the increase of the ecological footprint, improve the ecological capacity and balance the ecological pattern for sustainable development.
