Abstract: Based on the theory of Markov process,and the data obtained from fixed plots for continuously surveying forest resources, the tree species structure in Nanping region is forecasted and adjusted. The results show that the ratio of conifers to broad-leaved trees will be seriously imbalance and the occupied ratios of Phyllostachys pubescens and economic trees will be decreased gradually. The tree species structure will be lied in a stable state, e. g., Cunninghamia lanceolata occupies by 28.05%, Pinus massoniana by 16.63%, broad-leaved trees by 19.01%, Phyllostachys pubescens by 5.43%, economic trees by 2.26%, and others by 28.71%. After adjustment, they occuy by 18.72, 13.24, 26.98, 10.84, 5.45 and 24.77% respectively.
