Simulation of Forest Landscape Dynamics in the Western Margin of Sichuan Basin

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on Vegetation Dynamics Development Tool (VDDT), the 100(1989-2089) years forest landscape dynamics in the western margin of Sichuan Basin under 3 scenarios were simulated. Management measures such as closing the land for reforestation, forestation, stand improvement, reinforcement planting can increase forest land area, reduce open forest land area,suitable land for forest and shrub land.Artificial Cryptomeria fortunei plantations get more negative influences from rodent damage than artificial Cunninghamia lanceolata plantations. After earthquake, rodent damages intensity and frequency increased, suitable land for forest and unused land first increased and then decreased, forest land first decreased and then increased; forest land decreased and unused land increased in 2089, compared with the scenario without rodent damage or earthquake.
