Abstract: According to the forest types, sites for plantation of precious deciduous trees are selected by quantitative analysis method. The forest communities in Baishilazi Natural Reserves are classified into three groups and eight types, and their site productivities are evaluated by means of stepwise regression and site index methods. It is indicated that depth of horizon A, soil humidity, slope direction and slope degree are the key factors influencing tree growth. In broadleaved-Korean pine and picea-abics mixed forest, the selected order of planting tree species is Tilia amurensis, Ulmus laciniata, PheIlodendron amurense, Juglans mandshurica, and Fraxinus mandshurica; and that in broadleaves trees mixed forest is Tiliaamurensis, Juglans mandshurica, Ulmus laciniatam, Phellodendron amurense and Fraxinus mandshurica.
