Intensive Management of Forestry and Development of Agroforestry

The author considers that forestry should be managed intensively, but according to China's condition, it is impossible for the governments to spend large amount of funds and lands on intensive management, whereas, agroforestry is a form of labor-intensive management, by which natural force can be fully utilized and the superiority of rich labor resources can be brought into play. It is particularly suitable to China's condition and therefore is a practical approach to promote forestry development. This paper reviews the long history of Agroforestry in China. As early as before liberation the rotation of crop and Chinese fir had been practised in Damiao mountainous areas. The forest farmers of Dong nationality in Southeast Guizhou Province created the experiences to grow "18-year-old Chinese fir" by intercropping trees and grains, Much new creations have come into being since liberation. The practice of the Diversified Economy Farm of Weihe Forestry Bureau in Heilongjiang Province is to establish commercial forests on mountains, which also serve as resource bases of wild medicinal material and berry, and to plant trees and crops on wet lands of the slope and grow fish in the stream. The intercropping of crops and Paulownia trees has been widely practised in the vast plain areas of Henan, Anhui and Shandong pro- vinces. Forestry Bureau of Jianyang Prefecture^ Fujian Province has done some research work and drawn conclusions theoretically. According to the author it has great potentialities and more research work should be needed.
