Abstract
At present, non-point source pollution is becoming more and more serious in the country with population growth and socioeconomic development. While forest coverage is decreased there, when heavy raining happens, soil erosion gets worsening. There are 3.67 million km2 lands being in erosion, accounted for 38.2 % of the total in the country. In this case, much more nutrients enter rivers and lakes that result in eutrophication . This chapter introduced the functions and planning principles of ecological public welfare forests construction in Taihu basin based on the current state of socioeconomic development and requirement of eco-environment by urbanization in the country. Some problems and suggestions in the construction of ecological public welfare forests were discussed in Taihu basin. In particular the construction of water source protection forest was stressed in view of the crucial state of water environment in the region. Moreover, the maintenance measures of ecological public welfare forests also were probed.
