Significant results have been achieved since the “Three Total Volumes”inspection was started in the northeast and Inner MongolianRey state-owned forest areas 19 years ago. In this paper, the “Three Total Volumes” inspection process and role were systematically reviewed and its important significance was stated. It was pointed out that the “Three Total Volumes”inspection was to meet the needs of excercising administration by law and implementing the scientific development concept, and to meet the needs of protection and sustainable management of forest resources under the current management system. Besides, this paper also presents an analysis on the current situation and existing problems, and puts forward relevant guiding principles and ideas and measuresfor improvement as well.

In Bashang, an area with very fragile eco-environmentin north China, three typical sub-areas, south of Duolun, west of Weichang and north of Fengning, were selected.Using Landsat TM satellite images of 1987, 1999 and 2004, supervised classification and transfer matrix were applied to studythe dynamic changes of land use and soil desertification in this area.The results show that eco-environment has dual nature—deterioration and reversion, and active ecological construction can effectively deter the deterioration of eco-environment.From 1987 to 1999, eco-environment continued to deteriorate and soil desertification was extended.Since the Project of Jing-Jin Sand-Storm SourceControl, which was centered on ecological construction, carried out in 1999, the trend of eco-environment deterioration has been inhibited significantly.

The authors studied the influence of a thinning intensity on uniform angle index in Larix principis Plantation in Saihanba mechanicalforest farm of Chengde.The four different treatments of thinning intensities are 225 trees/hm², 600 trees/hm², 900 trees/hm² and 1350 trees/hm² respectively. The higher frequency distribution of uniform angle index was 0.25 in very heavy thinning group(A), heavy thinning group(B) and mid-thinning intensity group(C). Their average uniform angle index was less than 0.475. The result showed that they were equality distribution in the three different treatments of thinning intensities of Larix principis Plantation. The higher frequency distribution of uniform angle index was 0.75 in light thinning group(D) and control area(E) and their average uniform angle index was 0.477 and 0.5.The result showed that the forest trees were in random distribution in light thinning group (D)and control area (E).The average uniform angle indexes were 0.3929 and 0.25in mixed wood and coniferous mixed forest.It showed that forest trees were distributed uniformly in mixed forests.

Study is conducted on the seasonal changes of the nutrient of litter-soil of artifical forest of Liquidambar formosana.The result shows that the order of the quantity of micro-elements of litter storey in seasonsis summer>autumn>winter>spring, and the content is the scope of 25.055 ～37.115 g·kg-1.The content of the macro-elements decreases in Layer A in spring andreaches the nadir in summer, and then starts to rebound in autumn. Soil nutrient content changes in Layer B is undee. The impact of the litter soil on the soil nutrient content becomes smaller with the depth of soil and the soil nutrientbecomes more stable. With the impact in seasons of litter storey, Layer A's micro-element change is undee. Layer B's micro-element change shows upward trend in the year.

The effects of different shading treatments(A:0, B:25.8%, C:61.3%, D:90.3%)on the photosynthetic characteristics and growth ofMagnolia sieboldii were examined.The results showed that the basal diameter, height and biomass at B treatment were higher than those at other shading treatments.The light compensation point(LCP), light saturation point(LSP) and dark respiration rate(DP)of the Magnolia sieboldii were at a low level, the value of which decreased with the increasing of shading degree.The daily variation of netphotosynthetic presented a bimodal curve under four shading treatments.The netphotosynthetic rate was B>A>C>D.It is obvious that B treatment can provide the most suitable condition for Magnolia sieboldii among four shading treatments.So we can conclude that moderate shading could increase the leaf photosynthesis and plant growth of Magnolia sieboldii.

Based on nitrogen(N) nutrient cycling of the rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantation of Clone PR107 under different ages(4a～24a)and bymeans of systematical dynamics principle, the models of three compartments including rubber tree, soil and litter were constructed. Meanwhile, the storage, flux and rate of the nitrogen cycling were measured in each compartment.It showed that: 1) the nitrogen storage in the compartment of soil, rubber tree and litter was 3069.61 kg/(hm²·a), 580.22 kg/(hm²·a), 62.94 kg/(hm²·a), respectively.And the trend of the nitrogen storage was increased after declinedin the soil, but keeping increasing in the plant and litter;2)there was a different flux rule in the three compartments.It was that the nutrient absorption, litter decompose and return increased with age growth, while the loss of nitrogen in the rubber latex was related with the production of the rubber latex;3)theflux rate of nitrogen cycling was different in the soil, rubber tree and litter.The absorption coefficient rose with increasing age and ranged from 0.0640～0.1588. In addition, the return and decompose coefficient was 0.1335 and 0.6621, the loss coefficient of rubber latex just was 0.0279, which suggests relatively small loss of nitrogen in the rubber latex. Moreover, the research could provide important basic data for nutrient management of this type of plantation.

The objective of the paper is to study the breeding and forestation of the introduced seedlings of Pinus pinaster Ait.The results showed that sowing density had little effect on the seedlings of P.pinaster in the first year.However, moderate shading (80% transmittance) was beneficial to seedlings of P.pinaster.P.pinaster grows better in the acid and high nutrient soil.As for the height growth and ground diameter growth, seedlings in Zhejiang Province were obviously higher than those in Shandong Province.The survival percentage after forestation with container seedlings was higher than that of bare-root seedlings.P.pinaster grew better in the city of Haiyang than in Penglai and Yantai after forestation in different coastal zones in Shandong Province.

Through 4 factor 2 horizontal orthogonal test design, the research was conducted on different root growth promoters (A), different densities (B) differentvegetal periods (C) and cuttings with different diameters (D) and the influenceon cutting root growth (E). The result indicated that root growth promoter touse ABT-1# (A₁) + the density to use 600mg/kg (B₂) + cutting growth period with 12 months (C₂) + cutting diameters with 1.0～1.3cm (D₁), namely A₁B₂C₂D₁ combination is best. The high cutting growth rate is achieved, reaching 86.7%. The comparative test of the container cuttings with 8 different types oflight media shows that the proportion of pent soil, sawdust, bark and red subsoie is 3∶3∶3∶1(E₀) which proves to be the best. Cutting root growth rate ishigh with large numbers of roots.

The research objects are primitive broad-leaved Korean Pine, over-cutting forest and artificial-natural larch mixed forest in Jingouling Forest Farm, Wangqing Forest Bureau, Jilin Province.The investigation dataare complied for the variance/average value ratio law and other kinds of aggregation index.We found that the number of regeneration seedlings in primitive forest is the most, the over-cutting forest is the second, the artificial-natural mixed is the least.The size-class structure of the natural regeneration seedlings both in the primitive forest and in the over-cutting forest belongs to the stable structures of the population, the artificial and natural larch mixed stand belongs to the declined structure of the population.All of the spatial patternsof seedlings in the three forest types are aggregate distributions.And by the degree of aggregate distribution the highest of the three forest types is the over-cutting forest, the artificial-natural mixed forest comes second, the primitive forest third.This study provides the basis for the natural management of artificial forest.
