Technological flow The main points of the technology Season / month of implementation 1. Selective felling Proportion of thinning: 20% to 60%.
Method of operation: manual, mechanical.
Thinning method: row strip thinning, width of thinning strip about 12m.
Other requirements: keep the rows clear of dying and dead wood.Winter 2. Pruning Pruning of retained trees.
Pruning intensity: crown height ratio 1:3 to 1:4.
Pruning cycle: 5 to 10 years.Winter 3. Land preparation Preparation method: ditching preparation or hole preparation, mainly ditching preparation.
Requirements: 30-40cm depth for ditching preparation, 40cm long × 40cm wide × 40-50cm deep for cavity preparation.Spring 4. Transformation Seedling species: coniferous trees are Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. var. zhangwuensis Zhang, Li et Yuan var. nov., Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica, Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc., Pinus syluestriformis (Takenouchi)T.Wang ex Cheng, Pinus banksiana Lamb, etc.; broad-leaved trees are Acer truncatum Bunge, Populus alba × P. Berolinensis, etc.
Seedling specifications: coniferous trees are 3-5 year old container seedlings with a height of more than 30cm; broad-leaved trees are 2-year old container seedlings or bare-root seedlings with a height of more than 30cm.
Species configuration: conifer-conifer mixed, conifer-broad mixed.
Spacing among plants: 2m × 3m, 2m × 4m, 3m × 3m, 3m × 4m.
Planting pit specifications: 40cm × 40cm × 40cm for coniferous trees and 40cm × 40cm × 50cm for broad-leaved trees.
Watering: water once as spring planting and the time and frequency of watering will be determined by drought conditions.
Other requirements: coniferous trees such as Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. var. zhangwuensis Zhang, Li et Yuan var. nov., Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica Litv. and Pinus banksiana Lamb. are planted at a density of 1, 800 plants hm-2 or less; broad-leaved trees such as Populus alba × P.
