文摘内容 Restoration of mountain slope forests is often used to achieve one or a combination of the following aims, including increased production, soil protection and wildlife conservation. In this paper, biodiversity-oriented silviculture was proposed as a design principle in forest restoration from which stripcutting of shrubs was used as the restoring technology of forests. More than lO-year-observations and experimental results of the afforestation practices in the upper reaches of Minjiang River, Sichuan, China,indicated that the technology was feasible and had many advantages. Strip-cutting of shrubs ameliorated microclimate conditions, improved soil nutriem level for the growth of target tree species and increased the physical survival of pine species. Structural diversity, in terms of species, did not increase, but a shrub species was observed to differentiate from shrub layer and tended to form mixed forests. Preserve belts of the technology were supposed to meet public demands including biodiversity conservation and soil protection,and act as a basic stage in ecologically progressive succession. The promising initial results indicate that stripcutting of shrubs may be an effective practice for forest restoration in the upper reaches of Minjiang River,Sichuan, China。
