The Institute of Applied Ecology (IAE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), formerly known as Institute of Forestry and Soil Science of CAS, was founded in 1954. Its current name was adopted in 1987. In 2001, IAE was approved as one of the National Knowledge Innovation Program pilot institutes. In 2015, it became one of the first batch of CAS-affiliated pilot "Feature Institutes" in the field of Ecological Civilization Construction.
