| Abstract: | To optimize the spatial structure of an ecosystem, a forest landscape was selected as a research object. Based on the theory
of structure and functions of landscape ecology, combined with the analysis of the characteristics of the inner structure
in an ecosystem, this paper proposes to establish certain procedures to regulate the spatial structure of this forest landscape
and construct a landscape pattern of forest ecosystem functions. Considering the functions of biologic production, environmental
services, and cultural support in forest ecosystems, forest landscape zones should consist of areas of forest production,
research, experimentation, recreation, and conservation to add value to the forest ecosystem, enhance its functions, and then
identify the relevant environmental factors according to the environment featured in the research area. Based on the methods
of landscape ecology and ecological planning, this paper develops a zoning project of ecosystem functions suitable for various
environments. For this research, the Hui-Sun forest station in Taiwan Province, China was selected to be the experimental
area for studying the feasibility of developing a zoning project of forest ecosystem services and the suitability of optimizing
the spatial structures of the services.
