Abstract: Phyllostachys nidularia is among the important substructural,ecological and economic resources in Huaying Moutain areas and cultivation of Phyllostachys nidularia forests for bamboo shoot use in this area is one direction of management transition of this bamboo species.Completely random experimental design was adopted in the present study,and Phyllostachys nidularia quadrats located in four slope positions (valley,under-part of the slope,middle position of the slope and hilltop) were investigated concerning bamboo growth and shoot emergence,i.e.,bamboo height,bamboo 1.3-m diameter and survived/wilted bamboo shoot,etc.According to this study,some suggestions were put forward for the management of bamboo shoot-use stands of native small-diameter bamboo species in hilly areas,and three technological systems,that is,intensively management,nearly-naturally management and brand building,were proposed to be objectively required by bamboo industry at present.
