Analysis on the Early Growth Effect of Mixed Afforestation of Toona ciliate var.pubescens and Chinese fir
Early growth effects of the growth characters of height,diameter,diameter breast height,maximum crown width,stand vol-ume per tree and stand volume were studied by mixed afforestation experiment of Toona ciliate var.pubescens and Chinese fir.The re-sults showed that after four years afforestation,the ratio of T.ciliate var.pubescens and Chinese fir was 6∶4,and the height and diame-ter,dbh,maximum crown width,stand volume per tree and stand volume of T.ciliate var.pubescens were the highest at 2 m × 1.5 m,they were 6.97 m,8.77 cm,7.13 cm,3.10 m,0.0173 m3,34.60 m3·hm-2 and 48.03 m3·hm-2 respectively,which were 38.84%,21.30%,25.09%,42.86%,88.04%,1.66 times and 1.01 times higher than the average.The height,stand volume per tree and stand volume of Chinese fir were the highest,which were 5.33 m,0.0042 m3 and 34.68 m3·hm-2 respectively,which were 22.53%,1.08 times and 2.18 times higher than the average.The diameter at ground,diameter breast height and the maximum crown width of Chinese fir in the mixed forest with 2 m × 2 m of plant and row spacing were the highest,which were 10.67 cm,8.17 cm and 2.67 m respectively,which were 52.60%,52.36%and 47.33%higher than the average respectively.The total volume of the stand with 2 m × 1.5 m spacing was the largest.In the mixed afforestation of T.ciliate var.pubescens and Chinese fir,the planting density should be larger,and the initial planting density was at 2505~3330 trees·hm-2.The proportion of T.ciliate var.pubescens and Chinese fir should be increased in the mixture of T.ciliate var.pubescens and Chinese fir and Cunninghamia lanceolata
