Abstract:

The GIS approach was used to study the spatial structure of forest stands in this paper. Based on spatial analysis with ArcView for forest stands, the factors of the structure of forest stands were obtained,such as the degree of crop size divergence and the degree of crop cluster and the degree of crop mixed and the potential growth area of trees species in the forest stands. These results will offer the information which is useful for restoring forest ecosystem and optimizing spatial structure of forest stands. It will provide the valuable experience for the development of forest management.

Key words: GIS, Forest stand spatial structure, Simulation
