Melhods of Ecological Capability
Evaluation of Forest
Abstract
In this research common methods of ecological capability evaluation
of forests were reviewed and limitations for performance were
analysed. Ecological capability of forests is an index that show site
. potential in several role of wood production, soil conservation, flood
control, biodiversity, conservation and water supply. This index is
related to ecological characteristics of land, such as soil,
microclimate, elevation, slope and aspect that affect potential of
sites. Suitable method of ecological capability evaluation must be
chosen according to the objective of forestry. Common methods for
ecological capability evaluation include plant and animal diversity,
site index curve, soil and landform, interbranches, index plants,
leave analyses, analyses regeneration and ecological mapping
