Abstract: On the basis of summarizing the plantation ecosystem stability related researches both at home and abroad, the conception, connotation and extension of plantation ecosystem stability, the selfmaintainance mechanism, the diversity and stability theories, the relations between anthropogenic disturbance and the plantation ecosystem stability, the criterion system and assessment methods of plantation ecosystem were comparatively and systematically reviewed in this paper. It was proposed that more attention should be paid to studies on the influence of human disturbance on plantation ecosystem stability, on the tree species or varieties selection, combination and match technology for plantation in order to promote the genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity of plantations, and to optimize the structure and function of plantation ecosystem.
