The use of hyperspectral remote sensing to construct an inversion model of agarwood chlorophyll content and leaf area index is the key to accurate diagnosis of agarwood tree growth and health.Based on the experimental plot of agarwood,the spectral reflectance of the canopy of 6-year-old agarwood and its corresponding chlorophyll content and leaf area index were measured.The result shows:1)There was a certain correlation between the spectral reflectance of agarwood canopy and the chlorophyll content and leaf area index of agarwood leaves,and the correlation varied with different parameters;2)Correlation analysis showed that the chlorophyll content was the most closely related to the spectral reflectance in the infrared bands (760,761,759,765,764 nm),and the leaf area index was closely related to the spectral reflectance in the infrared band (778,777,779,776,782 nm);3)Compared with the fitting effect of vegetation index and characteristic band,it was concluded that the regression model of chlorophyll content and leaf area index based on neural network had the best prediction effect.Therefore,it is believed that hyperspectral technology combined with BP neural network method can monitor the dynamic changes of parameters well,such as chlorophyll content and leaf area index in agarwood.

Public welfare forest can play a significant ecological benefit by improving the understory vegetation and soil conditions.However,the composition of understory plants and soil characteristics of the public welfare forests in central Yunnan are not clear.In this study,the species composition and soil physicochemical properties of four typical public welfare forests (Alnus Nepalensi,Pinus Yunnanensis,Castanopsis Orthacantha and Pinus Armandii)in Yuxi were investigated.The species diversity and soil properties of understory shrubs and herbaceous plants were analyzed,and the relationship between species diversity and soil properties was revealed.The results showed that:1)The species composition under Pinus yunnanensis forest was the most abundant (both shrubs and herbs had the highest number of species,both diversity index and richness index were the highest).The lowest species diversity in shrub layer and herb layer were Pinus armandii and Castanopsis orthacantha;2) the soil organic matter of four kinds of public welfare forest were rich,the contents of soil total nutrients (total nitrogen,total phosphorus,total potassium)and available phosphorus in Alnus nepalensis were significantly higher than those in other forests,the soil bulk density,total nitrogen,total potassium and available potassium contents of Castanopsis orthacantha were the lowest;3)Soil available phosphorus,total phosphorus,total potassium and bulk density were the key factors affecting shrub species diversity under public welfare forests,the key factors affecting herbaceous species diversity were soil total phosphorus and pH.Species diversity under public welfare forests in central Yunnan was closely related to soil properties.Attention should be paid to soil acidity-alkalinity,compactness and selective regulation of nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium,so as to improve the structure of understory shrubs and herbaceous plants to achieve the best benefits.

Taking Hunan oak natural forest as the research object,this paper adopted 22 stand structure indexes and 3 stand total average growth indexes (average height,basal area and volume),and used Pearson correlation analysis to screen key structural factors.On this basis,a structural equation model was constructed to explore the influence of stand structure on stand growth.The results showed that: 1) stand age had a very significant effect on the three growth indicators (P<0.001);2) Mixing degree and stand density had a significant effect on basal area growth (P<0.001);3) Mixing degree,variation coefficient of diameter at breast height and stand density had a very significant impact on the volume growth (P<0.001),and species composition had a significant impact on it (P<0.01),among them,mixing degree had the greatest impact,and the impact coefficient was as high as 0.515;4) Mixing degree,stand density and species composition indirectly affected the volume growth by directly affecting the basal area growth and the coefficient of variation of DBH size.The research shows that improving the mixing degree of stand species,reasonably controlling the distribution of stand density and tree size,and optimizing the composition of tree species can promote the growth of stand.
