Natural regeneration of Pinus sylvestris var mongolica plantation on sandy land

Abstract

Abstract: By employing comparison analysis and field survey, the natural regeneration of Mongolian pine plantations on sandy soil was investigated. In plantation areas where regeneration can take place naturally, natural regeneration of Mongolian pine varied temporally and spatially. Natural regeneration wasn't temporally continuous; it had a close relationship with autumn precipitation in particular years. In spatial aspect, there were three regeneration types: regeneration in forest gaps, regeneration on edges of a forest, regeneration under young broadleaf forest. There was no significant difference between the growth of regeneration saplings and plantation trees.

Key words: Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica, Sand-fixing plantation forest, Natural regeneration, Regeneration traits, containerized transplant, mushroom residue compost, Larix principis-rupprechtii
