Abstract: Since 1992, on the basis of the mixed forest of Casuarina equisetifolia with Pinus elliottii, which was afforested in coastal sandy site in Chishan Forest Farm of Dongshan County, Fujian Province, the inter specific relation and structural proportion of species were regulated by thinning in row. By analyzing the change of two species in height, diameter, and single plant volume after one year of the regulation. It is showed that the new model is 2 3 rows of Casuarina equisetifolia mixed with over 3 rows of Pinus elliottii, thus formes such disposition: wide row space of inter species, and close plant space in the same specie, which is benefit to the inter specific relation and the tree growth. Therefore, it is suitable to use this method to regulate the inter specific relation in multi species mixed forest.
