Abstract:

Based on the feature investigatings of forest belt construction and agroforestry system on slope in the hilly region of Sichuan Basin, the evaluation indices of the structures, functions and benefits were selected, six types of the forest belts and ten multiple cropping subsystems in the agro forestry system on slope had been evaluated comprehensively with the AHP method. The results were as follows;three types of forest belts, i.e. H(herbs)-S(shrubs)- Cupressus mixed Alnus forest, H-S- Cupressus mixed Quercus forest, and H-S- Cupressus or Alnus forest, were better than other types in structure and function, four multiple cropping subsystems such as wheat peanut, wheat/watermelon/vegetable, broad bean/maize/sweet potato, and broad bean/watermelon/sweet potato, were better than the others in comprehensive benefits.

Key words: The hilly region of Sichuan Basin, Agro forestry system on slope, Forest belt type, Cropping subsystem, Selection
