Abstract: Classification and evaluation of forest site were one of the most important fundamental work in forestry production planning, field operation design,afforestation and forest cultivation,and also the key to planting trees and promoting the healthy development of woodland productivity and forestry.It was significant for improving the quality of cultivation,developing sustainable forestry,and restoring and expanding forest resources.In this article,the research status was systematically reviewed together with features of site classification and evaluation at home and abroad. Meanwhile,based on the development and application of remote sensing information technology,site classification and evaluation were analyzed and summarized in combination with the previous concrete research cases.Overall,site classification and evaluation by remote sensing information technology improved not only accuracy and objectivity,but also convenience and rapidness.In the future,more computer technology and remote sensing information technology could be utilized to develop into comprehensive site classification and evaluation with multi-factor and multi-level.
