Abstract: This study intended to improve the forest ecosystem three-dimensional pleat index and to put forward a new index FS, I, C. The new index was used to calculate the different mangrove tidal zones in Gaoqiao, Zhanjiang, China. The result showed that No.1 Delaunay triangulated network outside the tidal zone is the most complex, with FS, I, Cof 19.935, and that the stability is better in area outside the tidal zone, followed by that inside the tidal zone, and then the middle tidal zone. The result provides a reference for mangrove protection. Overall, the index is convenient for analyzing the system structure stability, and can be used to assess forest health and stability.

Key words: mangrove, three-dimensional pleat total index, Delaunay triangulated network
