Abstract:
The paper p resents a planningmodel for a Spruce forest in northern Germanywith a three-component objectivefunction (economic, even flow and spatial). The spatial modeling approach followed in this analysis relies on specificgeographic relations among neighboring stands, including the distance between stand centroids and the length of thecommon boundary between adjoining stands, representing a new approach in spatial optimization. The geographic data arederived from a GIS system and stored in a database, which includes also all stand options and the corresponding objectivefunction coefficients. The method is first applied, using a relative small forestwith 41 stands. 21 alternative options aredeveloped for each stand and the Simulated Annealing algorithm is used to produce an optimum schedule of operations.Solutions are presented for different objective function components and compared with maximum net presentworth. Whenthe even flow and spatial components are added in the objective function, the effects of these two componentsconsiderably improved the solution, while the economic objective is onlymoderately reduced.

Abstract:
Regeneration in relation to logging gap s sizes and ages was investigated in Popu lus david iana2B etulaplatyphy lla secondary forests in ChangbaiMountain. The research result showed that there were 7% ( canopy gap sarea 2 ) , 21% (50 - 100 m2 ) , 36% (100 - 150 m2 ) , 29% (150 - 200 m2 ) , 7% ( > 200 m2 ) in the p roportionof gap sizes. 28. 6% of gap s shape were rotundity and 71. 4% were oval. 55% of the oval gap s lay in N2Sdirection, 30% lay in N2E to S2W direction and 15% lay in S2E to N2W direction. Gap swere usually formed after7 - 10 trees logged which were mainly composed of Populus david iana, B etu la platyphy lla andM aackia am urensis.The seedlingswas absolutely dominated by the shrub at the initial stage of logging gap s, but the dominance of theshrub seedlings would weaken step by step. At the same time, the advantage of arbor seedlings would raisecorrespondingly with the increasing gap s age. The density, mean high and mean basilar diameter of seedlingsgrowing in the logging gap swere higher than those in non2gap. The growth of seedlingswas the best in 100 - 200 m2gap s and arbor seedlings surpassed shrub seedlings in gap s excep t 50 - 100 m2 gap s. The dominance speciesmainlycomposed of intolerant species were different in gap s of different sizes.

Abstract:
Both L i26400 photosynthesis system and OS12FL chlorophyll fluorometer were used to measure thephotosynthesis characteristic and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of Cerasus hum ilis p lant under soil waterstress. The result showed: (1) The average photosynthesis rate reached the maximum under the low water stress ,while that under the high soil water stress was the least. The stomatal conductance increased as a result of theincreasing of PAR ( Photosynthetically Active Radiation) under no soil water stress conditions and didn’t variateunder the mediums and high soil water stress conditions. Diurnal variation of photosynthesis rate p resented a two2peaks curve and showed obvious noon dep ression. The variation of net photosynthesis rates under different waterstress conditions are follows: 8. 447 ±0. 831, 6. 811 ±0. 690, 2. 658 ±0. 756, 1. 474 ±0. 469 μmol·m- 2 ·s- 1.Significant variations of Pn happened between the conditions of the former two and the later two,Diurnal variations ofCond, Tr, WUE under different soil water stress conditions were similar to the variations of Pn. ( 2 ) Thefluorescence parameter of Fo, NPQ increased with the increasing ofwater stress,while the Fv/Fm, Fv/Fo dereased.Itmeans that with the increasing of the water stress, the reaction center of PSIIwas destroyed or a non2reversibledeactivation occurred so that the photosynthesis was restrained. The photosynthetic apparatus of C. hum ilis wasp rotected by exhausting the extra light energy through heat dissipation. ( 3) WUE reached its maximum ( 1. 214 ±0. 112μmol·mmol-1 ) and the physiological parameters of photosynthesiswere op timized under low soilwater stresswith water contents from 21% - 24%.

Abstract:
The breeding and hybridization among exotic p ines were studied in this paper. 8 F1-hybrids of Pinuselliottii var. elliottii ( PEE) ×Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis ( PCH) and 47 F1-hybrids of Pinus taeda ( PT) ×Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis ( PCH) , which were selected from 17 crosses of PEE ×PCH and 75 crosses of PT ×PCH according to the height order of seedling, were growed for filial generation test with a randomly block design.All trees in the test were measured for height at the age of 3 and 5. The results of variance analysis (ANOVA)revealed that no differences existed among the hybrids on the average height at the age of 3 because of the lowercold2endurance of some young trees, but significant differences appeared at the age of 5 among the crosses,especially the growth differences of PT ×PCH crosseswere extremely significant. Thus the assessment of F1 hybridswould begin 4 years after p lanted in fields. The height of better F1 families of PT ×PCH were higher than 4. 0meters, which exceeds the national standard of good conifer trees. In conclusion, better p ine varieties can beselected effectively through hybridization in exotic p ines.

Abstract:
Five dominant species of natural and artificial-origins shrubs in the northeastern Ulanbuh Desert,Amm opiptan thus m ongolicus, Ha loxy lon amm odend ron, N itraria tangu torum, Zygophy llum xanthoxylum, Caraganakorsh insk ii, were chosen for the research. The photosynthetic gas exchange indices, photosynthetic response curvesand growth indiceswere measured. The differences among different species and originswere analyzed. The ANOVAresults showed that between natural and artificial origins, the remarkable differences exist in the gas exchangeindices, net photosynthetic rate ( Pn ) , stomatal conductance ( Gs ) , transp iration rate ( E ) , water utilizationefficiency(WUE) , and the growth indices, shrub height (H) , shrub diameter (D) , shrub canopy(C). and the gasexchange indices of artificial origins were bigger than that of natural origins, but the growth indices smaller thannatural origins. Among the five species, the difference ofWUE is not remarkable, but the remarkable differencesexist in the gas exchange indices, Pn, Gs, Ci, E, and the growth indices, H, D, C. Some photosynthetic responsecurves parameters, such asmaximum photosynthetic rate, apparent quantum yield, light compensation point, light saturation point, dark resp iration rate, CO2 compensation point, carboxylation efficiency, were calculated based onthe measured light and CO2 response curves for five shrubs of two origins. And the diversification of thephotosynthetic response curves parameters for different species and origins exist. And some suggestions for artificialshrub cultivation and natural shrub p rotection measures were put forward.

Longhorned beetle, Eurypoda antennata, was one of the main insect pests that were detrimental to ancient woodybuildings. In Longyou Country of Zhejiang Province, it p roduced only one generation every year, the pest of all stageswerefeeding in wood. Larvae experienced six instars, of which 2~4 instar overwintered in boring tunnels, and the fourth instarlarvae accounted for 78%. E. antennata began to moult atmid-June and reached the peak in early July, ended atmid-July.The molted was active at night and acquired nutrient from originally-destroyed wood, no migration was observed at themoment. Average eggs of femaleswere 80. 17 ( range from 27 to 148) , they laid eggs solitarily or dispersally between woodgaps, in feeding tunnels and occasionally on the surface of the wood. Dried, ventilated old buildingwas suitable for the pestsurvival. 8% Lv-se-weilei (200 ) integrated with strict quarantineswere effectively methods against the pest.

Abstract:
Using RAPD, the phylogenetic relationship of Prim ula L. from Longchi, Kangding, Mugecuo and L itangpopulationswas studied. The results indicated that 250 DNA fragments, which ranged from 130 bp to 1 800 bp,were amp lified based on 28 RAPD p rimers, 209 polymorphic fragments (83.6% ) were detected, and the averagenumber of DNA fragments per p rimerwas 9. The mean of genetic distance was 0.660 2. The dendrogram generatedbyUPGMA clustered all the 85 materials into 4 group s. Excep t P. vialii, P. prattii, P. m onticola and P. ovalifolia,the other specieswere not separated each other by the cluster. The result showed that P. secund if lora belonged toSect. Proliferae was also sustained, and there were distinct difference between Sect. Petiolares and Sect. A leuritiawith other sections. The dendrogram indicated that Longchi population was separated for Kangding, Mugecho andLitang populations, but the latter three populations were not distinguished each other. This suggested the eco-geographic characteristcs significantly influenced the genetic diversity of Prim ula L.

Abstract:
Comparison and analyzation of female sex pheromone that had been identified in Noctuidae suggested thatthe sex pheromones were composed by five types of components: esters, alcohols, aldehydes, hydrocarbons andepoxides. These chemicals had simp ly structure. Overlapp ing components exist in separate subfamilies, and withthe increasing in the number of subfamily which contented sharing components, the species of insects whose sexpheromone content overlapp ing components increased. Sex pheromone components were highly similar amongspecies in the same genus and largely sharing among different genera in the same subfamily. Sex pheromonecomponentswere full homology among the species in the same genera.
