SBE method-based forest landscape aesthetic quality evaluation of Changbai Mountain
【Objective】 The research was to dertermine the relationship between landscape elements and near-view forest landscape quality of Jingouling forest farm of Changbai Mountain and to suggest reasonable management of the study area.【Method】 Thirty in-forest landscapes were evaluated by scenic beauty estimation(SBE) method in this paper,with thirteen landscape elements affecting the near-view forest landscape Aesthetic quality as index.Multivariate linear models for estimation of landscape quality between favor degree and the structural factors of in-forest landscape were established using Quantitative TheoryⅠ.【Result】 The results showed that the main elements affecting the Aesthetic quality of the sdudy area were the Coniferous Proportion,trunk form,Visibility,undergrowth coverage and canopy density with the partial correlation coefficients significant or very significant by t-test;The multiple correlation coefficient of the model was very significant by F test(F=10.999).【Conclusion】 Preference is shown on forest landscapes with Coniferous proportion 〈30%,straight trunk,higher undergrowth coverage and the canopy density ≥0.7-〈0.9.
