Title
Impacts of different forest management methods on the stand spatial structure of a natural var. forest in Xiaolongshan, China.
Abstract
Stand spatial structure is a significant factor in forest processes that regulates growth and promotes sustainability. Close-to-nature forest management (CNFM), structure-based forest management (SBFM), and secondary forest comprehensive silvicuture (SFCS) are three forest management methods that have been promoted in China; however, how stand spatial structure is impacted by the different forest managements remains unclear. Understanding stand spatial structure characteristics in a forest under different forest managements is critical for forest management. In this study, we analysed and compared the spatial structure characteristics within a natural Quercus aliena var. acuteserrata forest under CNFM, SBFM, SFCS, and unmanaged control before tending, after tending and four years after tending using the three spatial structure parameters of uniform angle index, mingling, and dominance.
