Abstract: The effects of ecological health care factors on spontaneous behaviors of mice were studied through 6-day continuous observation in an open field. The results showed that: 1) The total movement distance of the experimental group was significantly longer than the control, indicating that the excitability of mice in Fokienia hodginsii forest was increased. 2) The traveling distance in the center for the experimental group was longer than that of the control except for the first day, indicating that the excitability and cognitive ability of mice after treated with the forest environment were improved. 3) With respect to the frequency of traveling in the center, the experimental group was lower than the control in the first day and the sixth day, but was higher in the other 4 days. In addition, the experimental group had longer residence time in the central grid than the control in the 6 consecutive days, suggesting that after treatment in the forest environment, the anxiety of the mice was positively remedied, and the exploring capability was enhanced to some extent. 4) In the 6-day experiment, the weight of experimental group was always higher than that of the control, but the waste grain number of the experimental group was less than the control, indicating that the appetite of the mice treated with the forest environment was improved dramatically, and the sense of tension was relatively decreased on the other hand. 5) From the typical trajectory, the frequency of the experimental group entering the central grid was higher than that of the control, and the total distance was longer, which indicated that the amount of mice exercise after treatment in the forest environment increased and the mental status was improved. 6) Comparing between indoor and outdoor health factors, we found a large gap between them, i.e. the Fokienia hodginsii forest was superior to indoor environment, and was suitable for development and exploration of human health functions.
