Abstract:

This paper reviews research achievements about biological fo rest fire control, states selection and application of fire-resistance tree species, and discusses the current advances in the technology of establishing firebreaks and mixed plantations.The firebreaks play an important role in forest regions of southern China and will more widely be applied in the future.More research will be needed in the mechanism of firebreaks, both quantitatively and qualitatively.The architecture of firebreaks should be built up with multiple tree species and in complex structure.Meanwhile, integrated management of forestry should also be encouraged.

Key words: Fire-resistant forest belts, Fire-resistant tree species, Mechanism of fire protection, silvicultural technology
