Sustainable forestry in China's Xiaolong Mountains unlocks economic and environmental prosperity.
The management of secondary forests in Xiaolong Mountains in Gansu Province is crucial for sustainable forestry development. The forests are mainly a mix of coniferous and broad-leaved trees, with some oak and broad-leaved forests. Techniques like thinning, selection cutting, planting, and regeneration are key for successful forest management. Stand surveying, timing, intensity, and cutting techniques are important aspects of tending management. The focus is on transitioning from managing secondary forests to developing them for long-term sustainability.
