AB  - Government leadership and grassroots participation are the most typical 
      institutional arrangements in natural resource management, a topic which has been 
      the subject of vigorous debate for a long time. Individually, these systems are 
      referred to as scientization and parametrization. This paper takes the reform of 
      China's state-owned forest farms (SSFs) as a pointcut, comparing the effects of 
      the 2011 policy (representing scientization) and the 2015 policy (representing 
      parametrization) on environmental conservation. For the period from 2006 to 2018, 
      China's provinces are analyzed via difference-in-differences (DID) and principal 
      components difference-in-differences (PCDID) empirical strategies. The results 
      show that the 2015 policy increased new afforestation by an average of 0.903 
      units, but the 2011 policy had no significant impact. The influence path of the 
      2015 policy was to curb corruption, relieve fiscal stress, and stimulate 
      innovation, playing mechanism effects of 20.49%, 14.17%, and 33.55%, 
      respectively. However, the 2015 policy was not ideal in terms of its goal of 
      incentivizing multi-agent participation in investments in conservation. Investors 
      prefer to attempt afforestation projects with shorter payback periods, especially 
      projects related to open forest land. Overall, this study supports the belief 
      that parametric management is a better approach to natural resource management 
      than scientific management, but the latter approach still has limitations. 
      Therefore, we propose to prioritize the promotion of parametric management on the 
      closed forest lands of SSFs, but there is no need to hastily mobilize grassroots 
      participation in open forest land management projects.
