How can Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) plantations be managed to improve wood properties?
What silvicultural techniques improve the wood properties of Chinese fir? Chinese fir and Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) are coniferous tree species with high-quality, fast-growing timber that are unique to southern China. For a long time, large areas of Chinese fir plantations have been established in the Chinese fir producing regions of the south. Because Chinese fir grows fast, has a short rotation period and consumes many nutrients, its litterfall is sparse and slow to decompose, the litter has low nutrient content, and the woodland has poor self-fertilizing capacity, resulting in soil erosion. Consequently, continuous cropping of Chinese fir leads to soil fertility decline, serious habitat deterioration, a severe drop in stand stability, and a decline in stand productivity with each successive generation. China began to pay attention to the decline in soil fertility of plantations in the 1960s, and Chinese fir plantations were especially prominent in this regard. As people's understanding of forest resources and the ecological environment has deepened, forests are recognized as having the dual role of providing numerous renewable resources and delivering public-benefit functions. The previous practice of establishing plantations dominated by pure coniferous stands has shifted toward establishing mixed coniferous-broadleaf plantations. The construction of mixed coniferous-broadleaf plantation bases was a key forestry project launched in the early 1980s. Through more than 30 years of cultivation and research, mixed coniferous-broadleaf forests have clearly demonstrated their functions and characteristics. According to research both in China and abroad, compared with establishing pure stands, establishing mixed coniferous-broadleaf forests offers advantages such as improving the soil, conserving water, improving wood quality, achieving higher comprehensive woodland productivity, and withstanding disasters better. It also optimizes the structure of forest resources, promotes the diversification of plantation tree species, simulates natural conditions, develops ecological forestry, follows a path of efficient and coordinated sustainable forestry development, and achieves the overall optimal benefits of forestry. Establishing mixed coniferous-broadleaf forests to improve the soil fertility of coniferous woodland and raise woodland productivity and stand stability has become a consensus among forestry workers.
