A Study of Forest Health Assessment Based on Fortran Program for Larix principis-rupprechtii Plantation in Eastern Inner Mongolia, China

Abstract:

In order to determine the health status of Larix principis-rupprechtii plantation in the Eastern Inner Mongolia, the field data were surveyed and then the principal component analysis, mean-variance analysis method and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method based on Fortran program were comprehensively applied to evaluate these forests in this study. Results showed that the health grade of Larix principis-rupprechtii plantation was 2.267. The health grade was between the sub-health and medium health, which was lean to the sub-health in the eastern Inner Mongolia.
