Spatial distribution and associations of dead woods in natural spruce-fir secondary forests

To reveal the community succession rule of natural secondary forest, we investigated basic characteristics and coordinates of each tree (DBH≥1 cm) within a plot (100 m×100 m) using the adjacent grid method and examined the distribution pattern and spatial associations of dead woods in a natural spruce-fir secondary forest in Jingouling Forest Farm, Wangqing Forestry Bureau, Jilin Province, China. The results showed that the diameter class distribution of dead woods showed the pattern of left single-peak curve, while the logs showed the pattern of multi-peak curve. The relationship between the abundance of dead woods and the standing individuals of a particular species was inconsistent. There was a significant negative exponential relationship between the number of dead woods and mixing degree of trees. The distribution of dead woods was concentrated at the 0-8 m scale. With the increases of scale, it gradually changed to random or uniform, with the random distribution being dominant. The aggregation distribution of dead woods with middle (10 cm≤DBH＜20 cm) and small (1 cm≤DBH＜10 cm) DBH was the main reason for the aggregation distribution of dead woods at small scale below 8 m. The spatial associations between dead woods and stan-ding trees at different diameter classes were significantly different. The relationship between dead woods and saplings (1 cm≤DBH＜5 cm) was closely correlated. The dead woods with large DBH and saplings showed a significant positive association at 2-25 m scale. There was no spatial association between dead woods and small trees (5 cm≤DBH＜15 cm). At the 0-3 m scale, there was a positive association between the middle trees (15 cm≤DBH＜25 cm) and dead woods of small and middle DBH. At the 9, 11-14 and 15, 42-45 m scales, dead woods of small and middle DBH were significantly negatively associated with large trees (DBH≥25 cm). In conclusion, biological traits, diameter class distribution, and spatial distribution affected the abundance and diameter class distribution of dead woods. The species with low mixing degree tended to have more dead woods. The diameter and scale would affect the spatial distribution of dead woods. The spatial correlation between dead woods and standing trees varied across diameter classes and scales.
