Abstract:

With the rapid economic and social development, environmental pollution and ecological damage have become increasingly severe. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, China has initiated the establishment of an ecological and environmental damage compensation system and made significant progress. Biodiversity is fundamental to human survival and development, and environmental pollution is a major cause of the loss of plant diversity. This study examines the impact of environmental pollution on plant damage assessment and identification, highlighting key challenges in the assessment process, including causality judgment, quantification of physical damage, and valuation of damage. It also discusses the critical aspects of plant damage assessment and proposed recommendations, such as strengthening fundamental research, innovating damage assessment techniques, and improving the assessment system. The study aims to enhance the scientific rigor and accuracy of plant damage assessment, thus contributing to the development of an ecological and environmental damage assessment standard system, safeguarding public environmental rights, and promoting ecological civilization.

Key words: environmental damage, identification of plant damage, damage valuation, ecological civilization construction
