数字化与生态化融合发展是形成林业新质生产力的重要战略选择。从实现“双碳”目标和林业产业绿色发展的视角,基于2011—2020年中国省际面板数据,测算各地区的数字经济综合水平和林业绿色全要素生产率(FGTFP),并运用面板回归模型和门槛效应模型分析数字经济对FGTFP的影响效应及作用机制。结果表明:数字经济对各地区的FGTFP具有明显的促进作用,在中东部地区及财政支持林业较强的地区影响更为显著。机制分析表明,数字经济通过推动地区林业技术创新,有效提高了FGTFP。门槛效应分析表明,互联网发展水平存在三重门槛,且随着互联网发展水平的提高,数字经济对FGTFP的提高有显著的非线性影响,其边际效益特征为“先递增,再减少”。建议积极推动数字经济与林业产业深度融合,提高林业技术创新水平,加大财政对林业的支持力度,因地制宜引导各地林业进行数字化转型,同时注重提高林业数字要素的配置效率,以增强数字经济与林业绿色发展的协同效应。

The integration of digitalization and ecological practices is an important strategic choice for forming new quality productivity in forestry.This article is based on the perspective of achieving the country’s goals of peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060,and green development of the forestry industry.Based on panel data from 2011 to 2020 among Chinese provinces,the study assesses the comprehensive impact of the digital economy on Forestry Green Total Factor Productivity(FGTFP)across different regions.Panel regression and threshold effect models were used to analyze the impact and mechanism of the digital economy on FGTFP.The findings indicate a significant enhancement of FGTFP attributable to the digital economy,particularly pronounced in the central and eastern provinces and regions benefiting from robust financial backing for forestry initiatives.Mechanism analysis shows that the digital economy effectively improves FGTFP by promoting regional forestry technology innovation.In the threshold test,the development level of the Internet has a triple threshold.The digital economy has a significant nonlinear impact on improving regional FGTFP through different levels of Internet development.This impact shows a pattern of initial increase followed by a decline in marginal returns.Based on the research results,it is further suggested that the government should actively promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the forestry industry,improve the level of forestry technology innovation,increase financial support for forestry,guide local forestry to carry out digital reform according to local conditions,pay attention to the efficiency of forestry digital element allocation,and improve the synergy level between the digital economy and the green development of forestry.
