Abstract: The study on establishment of forest corridor along railroad from Beijing to Jiulong concerns mainly on the structure and function of the plantation.Eighteen tree species of fourteen families,most of which are broad leaved species native to Lingnan areas,are employed in twelve models for improving the ecological benefits of the fotest corridor.The ratio of evergreen tree species to the deciduous is 2:1,high trees,low trees and shrubs 6:2:1,the fire protection trees to landscape species 1:2,and protection forest to scenic forest 8:13. At an attempt to construct the landscape corridor in Shenzhen scientifically and practically,the models are experimented and developed in accordance with principals of biodiversity,function complexity of forest ecosystem and landscape ecology.
