Changbai Mountain is one of the most important area in northeast of China where large area of temperate forests distribute. Lushuihe Forestry Bureau, located in the center of the region, was selected as a study site. We calculated the areas of different forest landscapes and selected MPS and CONTAG landscape indexes to carry out landscape pattern analysis for Lushuihe from 1987 to 2003 based on forest...
Quantifying forest biomass dynamics accurately is important not only to understanding the role of forests in global climate change but also to finding out key causes of the changes in order to enhance the carbon sequestration capacity of forest vegetation. Here, we investigated 210 sample plots to establish biomass-volume models suitable for Luishuihe forest area in Changbai Mountain. Based on the...
China has conducted a national forest continuous inventory system for sustainable forest management and large forest inventory spatial databases about tree factors and ecological condition have been built during the inventory work. Digital maps generated from GIS are planar and abstract, while explicit and realistic three-dimensional landscape visualization is much more intuitional and appealing to...
Forest management can significantly impact carbon sequestration, which has been a key focus of research topic in relation to climate change at various scales. Based on field data collected from old-growth forests and forest plantations in Lushuihe Forestry Bureau on Changbai Mountain in northeast China, we compared carbon pools of vegetation (arbor, shrub and herbage), woody debris (WD), and soil...
Forest products and water retention produced by forest are essential for the wellbeing of humans. Taking the subcompartment as the basic evaluation unit, based on geographic information system (GIS), we estimated the economic value of water retention by forest ecosystems in Benxi County of Liaoning province of china, and attempted to integrate evaluation and practical forestry management activity...
Forest harvesting practice affects the forest ecosystem carbon (C) storage in aboveground wood pool, woody debris pool and soil pool. Broad-leaved and Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) mixed forest is the typical forest in Changbai Mountain in northeast of China. Eight 1-ha study sites were selected and investigated in August and September 2007. Two replicated sites include four harvest types (30 years...
