Effects of Afforestation Patterns and Slope Positions on the Growth of Phoebe bournei (Hemsl.) Seedlings

Sapling height and ground diameter of Phoebe bournei (Hemsl.) were compared under 3 modes which included felling interplanting, thinning intercropping and deforested land forestation. The results showed that Phoebe bournei (Hemsl.) sapling height and ground diameter of the felling interplanting mode were obviously higher than the other 2 modes. Meanwhile, sapling height and ground diameter in laver slope position were larger, but the difference was not significant. Therefore, it could be concluded that the felling interplanting was the most suitable afforestation pattern of Phoebe bournei (Hemsl.).
