Land surface energy information of remote sensing describes the ecological process of regional ecosystem elements. The distribution and variation trends of land surface energy reflect structure and quality of regional ecosystem element. This study is based on the theory of ecology and aims to provide a scientific basis of preservation and restoration of forests in decision-making, prediction, implementation, verification and other aspects. In this study, we extracted the information about the comprehensive responses and interactive relationship between tropical rain forest and land surface energy in Sanya, using classes of vegetation greenness, land surface energy and the vegetation-energy relationship index to evaluate the quality of forest ecosystem. Vertical and horizontal distributions of tropical rain forest of 30 years (1987-2016) were used to discuss a change of spatial-temporal zonality. The following results are noted: (1) With around 90% of vegetation coverage in the past 30 years, classes of vegetation greenness are mainly composed of high and medium values, and has an increasing trend. (2) The low vegetation greenness and high land surface energy shifts to high vegetation greenness and low land surface energy from coastal area to mountain area. (3) The fluctuation of land surface energy distribution at all levels was less than 10%. Regions with medium energy expanded to low energy areas. (4) Tropical rain forest of high vegetation greenness increases with elevation increasing associated with land surface energy decreasing. (5) The ecological quality of the planted vegetation regions below 200 meters height, declined faster than that of planted vegetation regions above 400 meters height. Compared with planted vegetation regions, tropical rain forest regions have high spatial-temporally stability in both surface energy and vegetation greenness. In general, comprehensive response characteristics of remote sensing and their interactive relationship provide quantitative basis for evaluating the tropical rain forest ecosystems.
