2019, 40(6): 1-5. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2019.06.001
Abstract:
Ochotona erythrotis is endemic species in China, which is distributed in a very narrow region, including part of Qinghai and Gansu provinces. In Sichuan, It was only recorded in Batang county, west Sichuan. The core region of this species was reddish land rock, soil forest, cliff and shrub around Qinghai Lake, main streams and tributaries of the upper Yellow River and the Qilian Mountains of southern Hexi Corridor. In the distributing area of O. erythrotis, there were abundance of sunshine, no summer in whole year, concentrated rainfall, small humidity, strong evaporation. In 2018,O. erythrotis samples were collected in Wanglang Nature Reserve, and some pictures were obtained by infrared camera monitoring on the Minshan and Qionglai mountains with the elevation higher than 3 850 m. Those new distributing areas were largely different from traditional distributing areas in climate. But the new population had very closed relationship with the traditional population.

2019, 40(6): 6-12,18. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2019.06.002
Abstract:
The forest fire is an important factor of disturbing forest growth. Sichuan province was located in the southwest forest area with a high occurrence density area of forest fires.It could contribute to the forest fire prevention work by analyzing the distribution characteristics of fire occurrence in Sichuan province. Based on the MODIS fire product (MOD14A2/MYD14A2), Ripley K function, center point, standard deviational ellipse method and Kerne1 Density method were employed and the data clock was used to explore the spatial-temporal distribution of forest fires in Sichuan province from 2001 to 2012. The results showed that the annual forest fires fluctuated greatly in Sichuan province. The peak periods of forest fires were in January, February, March, April and May, and the number of forest fires continued to rise every year. On smaller spatial scale (less than 528 km), the spatial pattern of forest fires was clustering. The median center of forest fires occurred in Panzhihua city in 12 years, which was the area with highest fire density. The hot spots of forest fires were also located at Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture and Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The overall spread trend was to extend northwest to Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.

2019, 40(6): 13-18. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2019.06.003
Abstract:
To understand the future development trend of the population, the main endangered factors were discussed for Davidia involucrata in Heizhugou National Nature Reserve, and some theoretical references were provided for the protection and restoration. The population structure and dynamics of D. involucrata were studied by plotting its distribution map, population structure map, static life table, survival curve and time series model.The hierarchical structure of the population was spindle-shaped, which was similar to that of the height structure. The number of seedlings, young trees and old individuals was small, and the development of the population depended mainly on the middle-aged individuals. The standard survival curve of the population was Deevey I type, i.e. Convex type, belonging to a descending type. The individual mortality rate and individual loss degree of the population are basically consistent, showing the characteristics of fragility in the early and late period and stability in the middle period. Time series predictions showed a significantly decrease in the total number of surviving individuals in next five years. The seedlings mainly sprouted from roots.It indicated that the population was a descending type in a rapid decline stage, which would be a serious aging problem with the passage of time,. The poor regeneration ability of seeds had become the most serious problem in the development of this population.Protection strategies were proposed according to the results of the study.

2019, 40(6): 25-31. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2019.06.005
Abstract:
By a field experiment, the stucture and species diversity were studied for Cupressus chengiana plantation under different stand age, planting density and site conditions in Wenchuan and Lixian, the dry valleys of the Minjiang River. The results indicated that (1) The species was relatively rare in the tree layer, mainly composed of Asteraceae, Leguminosae, Rosaceae and Gramineae under forest, and the species diversity was in a decreasing order as herb layer, shrub layer, tree layer. Ailanthus altissima had great regeneration potential as an associated tree species in tree layer, and Artemisia carvifolia was in the dominant position in herb layer. (2) The growth of C. chengiana was the worst on the middle slope, and the coverage of shrub and herb were extremely low under forest. However, C. chengiana grew fast on the upper slope, the crown density of tree layer was high to 0.9. (3) In terms of forest volume and canopy density of C. chengiana, it was listed in increasing order as the upper slope, the lower slope, the middle slope. For vegetation coverage and biomass, the increasing order was the lower slope, the middle and the upper slope. Therefore, as C. chengiana was chosen for afforestation in the arid valleys of the Minjiang River area, the ecological protection forest was preferred to be on the upper slope, the ecological economic forest was preferred to be on the lower slope, and the proportion of photophilous, drought tolerant and local shrub and herb species should be increased appropriately on the middle slope so as to increase the species diversity of the community.

YU Ke-sheng, ZHANG Shi-lin, YAN Wu-xian, JIA Chen, SONG Peng
2019, 40(6): 43-47,64. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2019.06.008
Abstract:
A Cunninghamia lanceolata plantation in Hongya forest farm was selected as an object to research the growth process of dominant trees under density control by the stem analysis method. The results showed that density control could affect the growth process of tree height, DBH and wood volume of dominant trees. The high density of stand would reduce the maximum of the average growth and the annual growth of tree height. It also made the tree height maturity earlier. The low density of stand would increase the average growth of DBH, and made the DBH maturity later. The high density of stand could reduce the total growth and the average growth of volume. It also postponed the time of the maximum of the average volume growth and the annual volume growth, and made the volume maturity later. Low density(500 plants·hm-2) was conducive to cultivating large diameter wood of C. lanceolata, while medium and high density (>500 plants·hm-2) was proper for cultivating medium or small wood.
