- Abstract
In some European and North American countries where forestry is highly developed, both public and private forest ownership regimes have being existed for a long time. Currently, the re- searches about both the dynamics of forest landscape and habitat pattern and the relationship be- tween habitat pattern and biological conservation in multi-ownership forest landscape are increasing- ly becoming important. This paper reviewed the effects of multi-ownership regime on forest land- scape pattern and animal habitat and emphasized on the ecological consequences of forest parceliza- tion and land divestiture, including the provision of diverse habitats and fragmentation of the exist- ing large-area habitat. This paper also summarized two ways (changing the ownership pattern and integrating the multi-ownership management by cross boundary coordination) for handling the con- flicts between small-scaled multi-ownership management and biological conservation at large scale in forestry-developed countries and analyzed the reasons that those countries prefer to adopt the latter one. Furthermore, the methodological limitations in simulating ownership pattern were pointed out. Finally, the present status, challenges and opportunities in the above-mentioned research issues in China were discussed, and the suggestions for further researches were provided.
