Study on spatial structure of natural Pinus densiflora secondary forest in Kunyu mountain
In order to study the spatial structure of natural Pinus densiflora secondary forest,a sample plot with the area of 6 hm2 in national nature reserve of Kunyu Mountain was permanently set up,and then the tree species composition and distribution of the natural forest were investigated and analyzed.Further,by using three parameters including mingling degree,neighborhood comparison and uniform angle index,the spatial structure of the forest was studied.The results show that the ecological community was made up of Pinus densiflora,saw tooth oak and the other 16 tree species,in which the most abundant species was Pinus densiflora,followed by the saw tooth oak; Mainly based on weak and moderate mingling degree,the average mingling in the stand was 0.44; The average neighborhood comparison was 0.50,and the distribution frequency of each part were relatively even,which showed that the tree species of the tree layer were relatively stable; The average uniform angle index was 0.54,and showed a reunion distribution in the horizontal pattern; The mingling degree of the broadleaved tree species was a little better than that of the coniferous species,while the breast diameter of the broadleaved tree species was much shorter than that of the coniferous species,which illustrated the broadleaved tree species were seriously oppressed by the coniferous species.The researches should provide references for the study of forest pest regulation mechanism and rational management of natural Pinus densiflora secondary forest in this area.
