The invention discloses a tending method for promoting western sichuan subalpine natural
secondary forest to restore by utilizing reserved trees. The method comprises the following steps: S1, selecting abies faxoniana, dragon spruce, hemlock, red birch and white birch as target
tree species which need restoring in the
secondary forest; S2, selecting the reserved trees; when the target
tree species are the abies faxoniana, the dragon spruce or the hemlock, controlling the diameters at breast heights of the reserved trees to be more than or equal to 25cm; when the target
tree species are the red birch or the white birch, controlling the diameters at breast heights of the residual trees to be more than or equal to 35cm; S3, dividing the restoration stage of the natural
secondary forest according to the importance value of dominant tree species of
community, wherein the restoration stage of the natural secondary forest is divided into a bushwood stage, a birch broad-leaved forest stage and a mixed broadleaf-conifer forest stage; S4, tending at the bushwood stage, tending at the birch broad-leaved forest stage and tending at the mixed broadleaf-conifer forest stage. In the restoration process of the western sichuan subalpine natural secondary forest, the reserved trees are fully utilized to tend and manage the secondary forest, so that the adverse effects of
felling to the service function of a forest
ecosystem can be slowed down, update is promoted, and the time for enabling the secondary forest to be restored into a forest after
felling is shortened.
