However, the natrual forest of Forkienia hodginsii nearly does not exist now in China because of disorderly cut and bad management. For this reason, a large area of plantation of Forkienia hodginsii was planted in Fujian Province since 1950’s, but the study on it was very little. In 1997, we studied the biomass of Forkienia hodginsii plantation in order to provide scientific basis for the other studies and management about it. We set the plots on the continuous slope and used the usual methods to study the biomass of Forkienia hodginsii plantation. The results showed: (1) We could estimate the biomass of F. hodginsii plantation with both models W=aD b and W=a(D 2H) b; (2) The biomass distribution on the continuous slope decreased gradually from bottom to top of the slope and the biomass had the smallest value on the top of the slope; (3) The biomass of trunk and bark went obviously down from base to top of tree, and did the ratio of branch to leaf so; (4) The proportion of photosynthetic yield that used to make up the trunk increased with the growth of stands, however, the proportion that used for other organs of tree decreased; (5) The ratio of root to whole tree almost always was same,about 20%; (6) In accordance with the diameter grade distribution of biomass, the diameter grade of biomass maximum was always larger one diameter class than that of number maximum.展开更多
