Forestland is an essential resource for forestry production.Scientific and reasonable classification of forestland grades can accurately and comprehensively reflect differences in forestland quality,providing a decision-making basis for government macro-control of the forestland market and strengthening forestland management.Taking standard stand volume as an evaluation element of forest potential growth power,we divided forestland quality grades and developed a forest potential productivity evaluation model related to forestland quality grading indicators.We estimated parameters using the LM-UGO method,evaluated model fitting goodness with fitting correlation coefficient,mean square error,sum of squares of residuals,and Chi-square test,and applied forestland quality grading to the forest resources in Wuyishan City and Wuyishan National Park as case studies.The results showed:1) The established forest potential productivity evaluation model had a correlation coefficient of 0.966,a mean square error of 1.726,a sum of squares of residuals of 286.095,and a Chi-square test value of 33.898.The weights of six forestland grading index factors including average annual temperature,average annual rainfall,thickness of humus layer,thickness of soil layer,slope,and slope position were 0.08,0.22,0.27,0.26,0.10,and 0.07 respectively.2) Based on the annual growth amount and average growth rate,the benchmark age for forestland quality grading was determined to be 20 years.3) In Wuyishan City and Wuyishan National Park,the proportions of grades 3 and 4 in forestland quality were relatively large,the proportion of grade 5 was 9.43%,grade 1 was the smallest,and the potential growth level of forestland was at a medium level.The area proportion of each grade was significantly related to altitude(topography),exhibiting a power function or polynomial relationship.Developing a forest potential productivity evaluation model related to forestland quality grading indicators can avoid the subjectivity problem of determining index factor weights by classical decision analysis methods such as the analytic hierarchy process and grey relational analysis method.

The scientific measurement of reasonable annual harvesting volume of forests is the key to optimize forest structure and achieve sustainable development of forest resources.In this study,based on the forest resource survey data of Langfengguan state-owned forest farm in Guizhou Province,computer simulation was used to determine the reasonable annual harvesting amount of horsetail pine timber forest in this forest and compare it with the traditional formula method.The results showed that:1) the optimal managerial period and rotation period of 30 years were determined based on the simulation method,and the reasonable annual harvesting area was 19.88 hm² and the annual harvesting volume was 4 807.11 m³.2) During the simulation management in the next 30 years,the age group structure would be gradually stabilized,the proportion of middle-aged and near-mature forests would be gradually decreased,and the proportion of young and over-mature forests would be gradually increased.After the simulated management,the proportion of mature and over-mature forest area could be stabilized at 42.86%,and the age group structure would be ideally distributed.3) Compared with the traditional formula method,the simulation method has more scientific measurement mechanism,more flexible adaptability,more accurate measurement process and more objective measurement results.The use of simulation to determine the reasonable annual forest harvesting volume can provide a scientific reference basis for guiding forest management and realizing the sustainable use of forest resources.
