Abstract:
In order to investigate the effects of spraying exogenous gibberellin (GA3) on the growth and physiological status of Taxus wallichiana. 5-year-old potted cuttings of Taxus wallichiana were used as experimental materials, and the leaves were sprayed with gibberellin of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 mg·L−1 for 2 months. The plant height and ground diameter were measured regularly, and the contents of chlorophyll, malondialdehyde (MDA), proline (Pro) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in leaves were measured at the end of the test. The results showed that: (1) With the increase of GA3 concentration, the growth of plant height and ground diameter of Taxus wallichiana showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, and the growth effect of 60 mg·L−1 treatment being was the best. (2) With the increase of GA3 concentration, the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, with the highest content of chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll was observed in the 60 mg·L−1 treatment, and the highest content of chlorophyll b was observed in the 40 mg·L−1 treatment, while the chlorophyll a content was much higher than the chlorophyll b content. (3) With the increase of GA3 concentration, the content of MDA increased first and then decreased, and the treatment of 60 mg ·L−1 was the highest, indicating the most severe stress. The contents of Pro and SOD decreased first and then increased, and both of which were the lowest in the treatment of 60 mg·L−1. In summary, the resluts showed that spraying exogenous GA3 could promote plant growth and chlorophyll accumulation during the transitional period from growth to dormancy of Taxus wallichiana. However, excessive concentration could stress the plant growth, leading to the increase of MDA content and the decrease of Pro and SOD contents in leaves, which would create stress and weaken stress resistance.

Abstract:
Based on DMSP/OLS, NPP/VIRS nighttime lighting data, and SPOT/VEGETATION NDVI data, the spatial development mode and vegetation change characteristics of urban built-up areas in Chengdu-Chongqing area were studied, which provided reference for the optimization of urban layout and the maintenance of regional ecosystem. The boundary of urban built-up area in Chengdu-Chongqing area was extracted by statistical data comparison method, and the urban development was analyzed from the aspects of urban expansion characteristics and speed. Taking NDVI as an indicator of the vegetation status in urban built-up areas, the vegetation changes in Chengdu-Chongqing area from 2001 to 2020 were studied from the aspects of NDVI total, mean, interannual change rate, change percentage, and coefficient of variation. The results showed that the accuracy of the built-up areas extracted using statistical data comparison method was relatively high, and the error rate was less than 2%. The annual average speed of urban expansion was on the rise, and the urban expansion speed from 2015 to 2020 was 12.23 km2·a−1. The total NDVI of urban built-up areas first increased and then decreased with the increase of built-up areas. The vegetation condition improved from 2001 to 2010, but the vegetation began to deteriorate from 2010 to 2020. The vegetation condition in urban built-up areas was generally worse than that in background areas. The vegetation stability in urban built-up areas was poor, and the urban coefficient of variation increased in different degrees over the past 19 years.

Abstract:
Minjiang River is one of the important branches of the Yangtze River system, which flows through the western Sichuan Plateau and the Sichuan Basin. As one of the important ecological indicators, studying the spatial and temporal variation of vegetation in Minjiang River basin will help to understand the ecological environment of the basin and provide reference for subsequent ecological management. Based on the MODIS-NDVI dataset and DEM data of Minjiang River basin from 2003 to 2021, the spatial and temporal evolution of vegetation cover in the Minjiang River basin and the influence of topographic factors on its change trend by means of spatial analysis techniques, Hurst index, linear trend analysis and coefficient of variation were analyzed. The results showed that: (1) The average NDVI value ranged from 0 to 0.9 during the study period. The NDVI value in the upper and middle reaches of the river basin were higher than that in the lower reaches, and the overall vegetation cover of the Minjiang River basin showed a fluctuating upward trend with a growth rate of 2.4%/10 a. (2) The areas with increasing and decreasing vegetation cover in the Minjiang River basin accounted for 84.49% and 15.51%, respectively. The valley areas of the western Sichuan Plateau and the non-urban areas of the Sichuan basin showed a significant increasing trend. Those with decreasing trends were mainly located in the new urban areas of Chengdu city expanding outward, Meishan city and Deyang city. (3) The areas with high volatility were mainly distributed in the high-elevation mountains of the western Sichuan Plateau and in Chengdu city, while low volatility mainly occured in the relatively low-elevation areas of the western Sichuan Plateau, where the vegetation was more stable. (4) Future changes in vegetation cover showed a continuous decrease mainly in the new urban areas of Chengdu city, which were expanding outward. Those with persistent increases were mainly in the non-urban areas of the Sichuan basin and the river valley areas of the western Sichuan Plateau. (5) Elevation and slope were the main factors affecting vegetation change, and the correlation between slope direction and vegetation change did not show a clear pattern.

Abstract:
In order to explore the temporal and spatial changes of NPP and the relationship with climate in Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, based on the NPP data of MOD17A3 product, the evolution trend of vegetation NPP in 2001-2020 was simulated by one-dimensional linear regression model, and the change characteristics of vegetation NPP were analyzed. Combined with the meteorological data interpolated by ANUSPLIN, the impact of climate change on vegetation NPP changes in the study area was quantitatively analyzed by correlation analysis. The research resluts showed that: (1) The overall NPP of vegetation in the study area showed a slow growth trend, with a growth rate of 7.53 g C·m−2· a−1. Meanwhile, the mean distribution of NPP of vegetation showed a spatial pattern of high around and low in the middle. (2) There was spatial heterogeneity in the effects of climate factors on the changes of vegetation NPP in the study area. The negative correlation between air temperature and NPP was obvious in some areas of Meishan City, Leshan City, Ya’an City, Qianjiang District and Pengshui County of Chongqing City, and the positive correlation was widely distributed in the central and eastern part of Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration. The positive correlation between precipitation and vegetation NPP accounted for 92.46% of the total area. (3) The study area was mainly affected by non-climate factors, accounting for 86.87% of the total area, indicating that human activities had a more and more intense impact on vegetation NPP changes, and the study of human effects should be the focus of ecological restoration in Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration.

Abstract:
By analyzing the changes of ecosystem service value per unit area during the primary succession of the Hailuogou glacier retreat area, it could provide some help for the policies and guidelines of positive effects of artificial ecosystem management, reconstruction and restoration. Six sample plots (12, 30, 40, 50, 70 and 120 years) were set up in Hailuogou glacier retreat site. According to the Specification for Assessment of Forest Ecosystem Service Functions (LY/T 1721-2008), the ecosystem service values of different sites were calculated in five aspects: nutrient element accumulation, carbon sequestration and oxygen release, soil conservation, water retention and species diversity per unit area. The results were as follows: (1) The ecosystem service values reached the maximum value of 23721.95 Yuan·hm−2·a−1 in sample plot 5 and the minimum value of 7326.49 Yuan·hm−2·a−1 in sample plot 1, and the growth rate of ecosystem service values per unit area showed a process of rapid increase at first and then slow decrease. (2) The maximum growth rate of ecosystem service values per unit area was +8.22% per year from plot 1 to plot 2, and the minimum growth rate was −1.64% per year from plot 2 to plot 3. (3) The ecosystem service functions in different sites were mainly carbon sequestration and oxygen release, water conservation and biodiversity. It was found that the main ecosystem service functions in the Hailuogou glacier retreat were basically the same as those in other forest ecosystems, and the ecosystem service values per unit area varies significantly among different sites during the succession process.

Abstract:
The progeny testing in seed orchards is a necessary way to promote the upgrading of seed orchards. The genetic variation of the 13-year-old growth characteristics of the half-sib progeny of the second generation clonal seed orchard of Chinese fir was analyzed, which provided basic data for the construction of the third generation seed orchard of Chinese fir. The results showed that there were significant differences in the diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height (H), and volume (V) among families, blocks, and their interaction effects. The family heritabilitis of DBH and V were 0.279 and 0.250, which had the value and potential for conducting selection. The coefficient of variation (CV) of DBH showed that growth was still in the process of continuous differentiation, whether between individuals or families. The average values of DBH, height and volume of 51 families were 17.18cm, 12.61m and 0.1592m3, respectively. Comparied with the control, the real gains were 3.56%, 2.66%, and 8.00%, respectively. There were 21 families with a real gain exceeding 10% in volume, among which the family with the largest volume achieved a real gain of 31.43%, which was obvious. According to the coefficient of variation of volume and DBH, the comprehensive goodness analysis showed that 24 families, including T71, T78, T122, T152, T106, T114, and T88, had excellent comprehensive performance and could be used as the main candidates for the construction of third-generation clonal seed orchard.

Abstract:
Taking 5-year-old Camellia reticulata seedlings as objects, effects of different fertilization treatments on their vegetative growth were discussed. A total of 19 treatments with different mineral elements, elements ratio and fertilization amount were designed, and the vegetative indexes including the height, crown area, ground diameter, leaves size of trees, the amount, length, diameter, internode length of spring shoot, and the amount of yellow leaves, autumn shoot, diseased leaves and shoots were measured. The growth rate and disease incidence were calculated, and the effects of different treatments were comprehensively and quantitatively scored. The result showed that single application of 50 g nitrogen fertilizer per square meter crown area could promoted the tree growth effectively, while adverse effects were appeared under the treatment of 100 g and 150 g nitrogen application per square meter crown area. Under the condition of nitrogen deficiency, the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers could not promote tree growth. With the application of compound fertilizer containing 15% nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium respectively, Camellia reticulata grew normally in the early stage, but leaves became yellow gradually after autumn. The application of 50 g compound fertilizer with the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium of 9∶1∶4 per square meter crown area had the best promotion effect on the growth of Camellia reticulata, and the nitrogen poisoning reaction occurs when the application amount increased to 150 g. In addition, there was no dramatically effect with magnesium application treatment. In conclusion, in March and July, 50 g·m−2 compound fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ratio of 9∶1∶4 was the best, followed by the application of compound fertilizer with each 15% content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium respectively.

Abstract:
The Mixed Effect Model is gradually being applied in the forestry field, which can not only describe the overall change law of data, but also reflect the changes between data, making the estimation results more accurate. Calculating tree height by diameter at breast height provides convenience for forestry investigation to a certain extent. Taking 123 sample plots in Huili City as the research object, the mixed effect model of average height and average DBH of dominant trees in forest stands was constructed, and the correlation between average height and average diameter of dominant trees in forest stands was analyzed. The research results showed that: (1) The correlation between average height and average DBH of dominant trees in forest stands was extremely significant. (2) The fitting effect of the power function model was the best both among individual trees on the whole. (3) The Mixed Effect Model could not only reflect the overall change trend of the average height of dominant trees in forest stands on the average DBH, but also reflect the impact of different tree species. The performance of AIC and BIC was better, and the model fitting effect was better.

The results showed that: (1) The spatial agglomeration distribution characteristics of various tourism resources in Sichuan Province were obvious and showed a hierarchical trend of decreasing from the center to the surrounding areas, with an overall distribution pattern of more in the east and less in the west, mainly distributed in Chengdu City, Deyang City, and Ya'an City. (2) The spatial distribution direction of various types of tourism resources was consistent with the distribution characteristics of scenic spots. The directionality and centripetal orientation of modern humanistic tourism resources were not obvious, while the directionality and centripetal orientation of the other four types of tourism resources had varying degrees of agglomeration characteristics. (3) There were significant spatial differences in the distribution of cold and hot spots in various cities' tourism resources. The distribution of biological landscape tourism resources was relatively uniform, and the geographical landscape tourism resources were the most abundant in the hot spots within the city. The cold and hot spots of water scenery and modern cultural landscape tourism resources had similarities in regional distribution characteristics. (4) This paper analyzed the influencing factors from two aspects: natural conditions and socio-economic conditions. Among them, topography and hydrology were the internal decisive forces affecting the distribution of various tourist attraction in Sichuan Province, while socio-economic level, traffic conditions and population were the important external forces influencing the development and construction of tourist attractions.

Abstract:
The identification and analysis of “production, living and ecological spaces” is an important part of the improvement of human environment and optimization of land space development nowadays. Due to the limitation of physical and geographical conditions, the incremental space for construction and development in hilly areas was limited, so the efficient use of land resources and the coordination and integration of “production, living and ecological spaces” need urgent attention. Based on the spatial identification and analysis of “production, living and ecological spaces”, this paper aimed to reflect the remaining problems of regional spatial layout in hilly areas under the national development policy and enhanced land use efficiency. Taking Renshou County as an example, the spatial functional classification system of “production, living and ecological spaces” was constructed, and then the distribution of land for “production, living and ecological spaces” in the county in 2020 was analyzed by adopting the methods of spatial Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient, degree of equilibrium, and degree of dominance. The conclusion of the study showed that the spatial distribution of main production space in Renshou County was absolutely average, and the distribution of main ecological space was relatively average. The distribution of balanced space was relatively reasonable, while the distribution of main living space in various townships of the county was disparate. There was a certain correlation between “production, living and ecological spaces” land use pattern and topographic factors. Finally, corresponding countermeasures and suggestions were put forward from the perspective of layout optimization of various types of “production, living and ecological spaces”.
