This study investigated quantitative forest stand parameters at the plot level such as the tree height
diameter
basal area
and other parameters with terrest riallaser scanning and multi-stop scanning method
then the spatial structural characteristics of one plot level st and of Quer cus var i abil i s f orests in Xishan Mountain of Beijing City were described by using mingling degree
neighborhood comparison and uniform angle index.The result showed that there were fiften populations in arbor layer of Quercus variabil is forests
among which
Quercus variabil is had the obvious advantage in population density and basal area
being the dominant and constructive species of the tree layer.The average mingling degree of the whole stand was 0.306
suggesting the low mingling degree of the stand.The dominant species such as Quercus variabilis and Koel reuteriapani culata population were mainly none or less-mixed
while the accompany ing species generally presented moderate
intensity and high intensity.In the spatial structural units
Quercus variabilis
A certruncatum
Robinia pseudoacacia and Quercus liaotungensis Koidz were mainly of do minant
sub-dominant
and intermediate trees
accounting for 64%
68%
64% and 59% of the total plants of the populations respectively
while the advantage of other populations was not obvious.The uniform angle index value of Quercus variabilis forests was 0.528
indicating that the spatial pattern of the stands was of aggregative distribution
but the aggregation degree was not high and the aggregation scale was not large.
