Abstract: According to the characteristics of mangrove wetland ecosystem, the healthy mangrove ecosystem will keep a dynamic balance among the components and whole ecosystem, and its ecological services function will work properly under moderate natural and/or artificial disturbances. This paper introduced six diagnostic methods suitable for mangrove wetland ecosystem health assessment, including indicator species method, structure and function method, ecosystem imbalanced symptom diagnosis method, ecosystem health risk evaluation method, ecological frangibility and stability assessment method, and ecological functional assessment method, and analyzed the prospects of their applications. On the basis of “Pressure-State-Response” model, the mangrove health assessment indicator system was constructed according to the related researches. The further study should enhance the indicator selection and corresponding evaluation criterion and weight ascertaining, and make case study by combining the ecosystem health level and ecological service function.
