Preliminary Study on the Introduction and Selection of Nine Taiwan Broad-leaved Tree Species
Due to the unreasonable structure of artificial forest tree species,Minqing Meigu State-owned Forest Farm introduced nine kinds of broad-leaved tree species including Fraxinus formosana,Idesia polycarpa,Phellodendron wilsonii,Koelreuteria elegans,Cerasus serrulata,Beitschmiedia intermedia,Phoebe zhennan,Machilus kusanoi and Terminalia amtay to carry out afforestation experiments.The adaptability,fast-growing,high yield and form quali-ty traits of the introduced tree species at 10 years old were evaluated by analytic hierarchy process.The results showed that five broad-leaved tree species,including Koelreuteria elegans,Beitschmiedia intermedia,Terminalia amtay,Machilus kusanoi and Phoebe zhennan,had strong adaptability and productivity,and could be used for affor-estation in Minqing County and surrounding mountainous areas.
