China will further boost its output in herbal medicines, mushrooms, vegetables and animal husbandry in forest regions, according to the administration.

China invested 297.9 billion yuan in forestry during the 11th Five-Year period (2006-2010), up 80 percent from the previous five-year period.

In China, forests are defined as woods covering an area of more than 1 mu (0.07 hectares) with a crown density - the amount of sunlight blocked by plant materials - at or above 20 percent.
