Abstract

Abstract:

Crop trees were selected and released in a 14-year-old even-aged Pinus massoniana stand in Guangxi in October 2007, in which 20 plots for no cut as control and 20 plots for thinning were set up and all plots were remeasured in November 2011. Three-year increments of DBH, height, clear bole height, crown width and volume of crop trees were observed to demonstrate the growth effects of crop tree release treatment on crop trees. Results indicated that the growth of crop trees was significantly greater than non-crop trees. The 3-year DBH and volume increments of released crop trees were 80% and 55% higher than that of unreleased trees in control stand, respectively, while the height growth difference decreased and clear bole height increment significantly decreased. DBH and volume increments increased with an increase in the number of sides of the crown that was measured as free-to-grow(FTG). However, the increments of height and clear bole height had no obvious rules with the increase of FTG. FTG is the determinant reason that affects the crop trees growth instead of thinning intensity. It suggested thinning should not just focus on thinning intensity, but also pay attention to which tree (i.e. interference tree) should be cut in order to make crop tree growth faster and healthier.

Key words: crop tree release, close-to-nature siviculture, crop trees, thinning, Pinus massoniana
