Comprehensive Analysis on the Ecological Effects of Chinese Fir Plantation in Five Years after Selective Cutting Operations in Mountainous Areas,South China
This study focused on the ecological effects of different selective cutting intensities in Chinese fir plantation. Four kinds of treatments were set up with selective cutting intensities,including low selective cutting intensity of 12. 9%,medium selective cutting intensity of 23. 5%,high selective cutting intensity of 46. 1%,over-high selective cutting intensity of 64. 6% and control without selective cutting. Effects of different selective cutting intensities on the vegetation,soil,and litter were investig...
