“…Except for visual aesthetics, all indices were >0.7, and visual aesthetics was nearly 0.7 (0.692) (Table 3). It is generally believed that the closer Cronbach's Alpha is to 1, the higher the reliability is, and Cronbach's Alpha ≥ 0.7 represents a high reliability interval [39]. The combined reliability test showed that the CR was >0.8, indicating that all variables passed the reliability test and were consistent and stable.…”

Soundscape perception is a very weak link in the national park landscape evaluation system in China. A thorough understanding of soundscapes and their effects on visual aesthetics is important for the management of national park landscapes. In this study, features of soundscapes (e.g., loudness, frequency, preference, and auditory satisfaction) were investigated based on 394 valid questionnaires of residents in the Qianjiangyuan National Park Pilot Area. The effects of soundscape on visual aesthetics were analyzed using the PLS-SEM. The results demonstrated that: (1) Peddling voice and insect sound were the loudest components in the soundscape, running water and birdsong were the most commonly heard and most preferred, religious sound was the quietest and least frequently heard, and horn was the least preferred. Residents in the Pilot Area were generally satisfied with the auditory environment. (2) Both sound frequency and preference have significant effects on auditory satisfaction, but preference (path coefficient = 0.426) has a larger effect than does frequency (path coefficient = 0.228). (3) Loudness has negligible effects on visual aesthetics, but other soundscape characteristics did influence visual aesthetics. Soundscape preference had the most significant effect (path coefficient = 0.305), followed by auditory satisfaction (path coefficient = 0.174), and sound frequency (path coefficient = 0.165). Among them, effects of perception frequency are the indirect utilities.

“…Many experts construct the index system of forest ecological security based on PSR and DPSIR [30][31][32], and have used the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, the improved TOPSIS method, the comprehensive evaluation method, and the system dynamics model to comprehensively evaluate forest ecological security [29,33]. On this basis, these authors discuss the spatial distribution characteristics [8,34] and influencing factors [35,36]. In addition, some experts' research objects are the relationships between forest ecological security and forest product trade [37], forest management and protection [38], forestry industry structure [39], and forest food safety [40].…”

Forest ecological security is an important guarantee for national security and the healthy development of forestry. Existing research has been limited to the comprehensive evaluation and obstruction factors of forest ecological security, and this study innovatively analyzes internal coordination of forest ecological security and its spatial influencing factors in order to enhance the internal coordination of the forest ecosystem and promote the coordinated improvement of regional forest ecological security. Firstly, the forest ecological security in China from 2006 to 2020 was evaluated. On this basis, the coupling coordination degree of forest ecological security (FESD) was calculated, and its influencing factors and spatial spillover effects were analyzed using the spatial econometric model. The results show that: (1) most of China’s provincial forest ecological security is at a critical and relatively safe level, and shows a trend of gradual improvement; (2) FESD in 25 provinces, represented by Guangxi, is in the acceptable range and is constantly improving; and (3) annual mean temperature, urbanization rate, completed forestry investment, and forest pest control have been positive influences on FESD. Forest population density, per capita GDP, and investment in environmental governance have significant negative influences. In addition, completed forestry investment, annual mean temperature, urbanization rate, forest population density, and forest pest control have significant spillover effects on FESD. Therefore, in the process of forest ecological management, it is necessary to further strengthen investments in forestry and pest control, and to pay more attention to the interaction between regions.
