How can new quality productive forces empower the value realization efficiency of forest ecological products? Empirical analysis based on dynamic QCA Method

As an important bridge connecting the natural ecosystem and human society, the improvement of the value realization efficiency of forest ecological products significantly impacts the realization of sustainable development goals. This paper aimed to explore how the new quality productive forces can empower the value realization efficiency of forest ecological products and promote the sustainable and efficient utilization of forest resources. Based on the dynamic qualitative comparative analysis method, using the panel data of 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) from 2011 to 2022, this paper analyzed the multi-factor synergistic linkage effect of new quality productive forces in the process of improving the value realization efficiency of forest ecological products. The study found that: (1) A single factor couldn't constitute a necessary condition for the high value realization efficiency of forest ecological products, but the necessity of innovative productivity, technological productivity, resource productivity, environmental productivity, digital industry productivity and industrial digital productivity was gradually increasing. (2) The high value realization efficiency of forest ecological products had four driving paths: "innovation+environment", "technology+environment+industrial digit", "resources +digit" and "innovation+resources". The low value realization efficiency of forest ecological products had three restrictive paths: "green+industrial digit", "technology+green" and "innovation+environment". (3) All the four driving paths of high value realization efficiency of forest ecological products had spatial heterogeneity, and the "innovation+environment" driving path has significant time effect. The research results provided not only theoretical support for understanding the empowering effect of new quality productive forces on the value realization efficiency of forest ecological products, but also practical guidance for optimizing the management of forest ecological products and enhancing the value of ecological services.
