Abstract:

A continuous inventory by permanent sample plots for 7~8 years showed:Castanopsis fissa stand of short-rotation, Castanopsis carlesii stand of short-rotation and Castanopsis fargesii stand of short-rotation had been successfully cultivated by natural regeneration with artificial promotion.Their rotations were 10,14 and 16 years,respectively.Their mean annual increments of growing stock at rotation age were 20.52,15.99 and 12.17m3/(hm2·a),respectively.High density,strong natural thinning,rapid height increment,high ratio of height to DBH,low percentage of tree branch and leave and high productivity were the features of the short-rotation stands.

Key words: Short-rotation, Broad-leaved forests, Castanopsis fissa, C.carlesii, C.fargesii
