透光分层疏透度测定及其在次生林结构研究中的应用

次生林是中国森林的主体，对其进行合理的经营无疑对中国天然林资源保护及国家生态安全建设具有重大意义．次生林的结构(尤其是垂直结构)是该林种合理经营的重要因素．本文在以往研究的基础上，引入了分层疏透度的概念，并以透光分层疏透度表征林分的垂直结构；详细介绍了应用全天照片测定透光分层疏透度的方法与步骤．分析了透光分层疏透度在次生林结构研究和次生林的经营理论与技术研究中的应用前景．

Method for measurement of optical stratification porosity(OSP) and its application in studies of management for secondary forests

Secondary forest is the main body of forests in China, and hence, its management plays a very important role in the projects of natural forest conservation and ecological environment construction in this country. The structure, especially the vertical stratification structure of secondary forest is one of the key factors in the management of secondary forest, and can be considered as the base of its management. Based on previous studies, the concept of stratification porosity was introduced, and the optical stratification porosity (OSP), which is the two dimensional alternative measurement of stratification porosity, could be used to represent the vertical stratification structure of secondary forest. The method using hemispherical photographic silhouette (photographic silhouette taken with fisheye lens) to estimate the OSP of a forest stand was also introduced. In addition, the possible applications of OSP in studies on the structure and restoration ecology of secondary forest, and the theory and techniques for the management of secondary forest were also given in this paper.
