Four concentrations （100 g. kg i, 50 g. kg^-1, 25 g. kg^-1 and 12.5 g. kg^-1） were prepared for each kind of extracts. Result showed that the water extracts with low and moderate concentrations accelerated the growth of collar diameter and increased biomass and root/shoot ratio of walnut seedlings. The water extracts from branches and barks with low and moderate concentrations accelerated the height growth of the seedlings, while those from leaves and roots slightly decreased the height growth of seedlings. The fact that application of water extracts of larch improved the growth of Manchurian walnut attributes possibly to the allelopathy between the two tree species.展开更多

The study sites were three Douglas-fir plantations, ranging between 50 and 55 years of age at altitudinal range between 1,400 m and 1,600 m above sea level （masl）. The mean height, diameter at breast height, site class, stem volume as well as the mechanical resistance （H/D ratio） of Douglas-fir were measured for each plantation. The results showed that Douglas-fir had the best height growth of the studied plantations on slope facing South at altitude 1,600 masl and Douglas-fir with age 55 years old reached a mean height of 32.4 m. The average diameter at breast height of the studied plantations reaches approximately 30 cm, which shows that they are suitable for large scale wood harvesting. The average stem volume of Douglas-fir in the observed plantations up to age of 55 is within the range of 400-600 m3/ha, with an average annual volume increment from 7 m3/ha to 12 m3/ha each year. The high index of mechanical resistance （H/D ratio） indicated a risk for abiotic damages, which implicated the need for the immediate implementation of felling.展开更多
