The standard "Land Degradation Types and Grading Specification" (LY/T 3354-2023), published on January 1, 2023, under the Forest Industry Standard CN-LY series, aims to provide a systematic approach for identifying, assessing, and classifying land degradation in forestry contexts. This document offers detailed guidelines to assist professionals involved in forest management and conservation efforts. The standard includes definitions of various land degradation types such as soil erosion, desertification, deforestation, and land salinization, providing criteria for their evaluation based on environmental conditions and ecological impact.
The grading system outlined in LY/T 3354-2023 is designed to help users understand the severity levels of different forms of land degradation. It includes a comprehensive set of indicators that can be used for monitoring changes over time, thereby facilitating better decision-making related to forest management and restoration activities. By adopting this standard, stakeholders in the forestry sector will have access to standardized terminology and methodologies which enhance comparability across studies and regions.
This normative document is intended not only for practitioners working directly with forests but also serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and educators aiming to address land degradation issues. Its implementation promotes sustainable practices and supports efforts towards maintaining ecological balance within forest ecosystems while ensuring economic viability through responsible stewardship of natural resources.
