Study On Protection Of Forestland In Guanghan County

Guanghan County located in the source region of the Yangtze River and the ecological niches isvery important. The total forest resources in Guanghan County have been relatively less, and theforestland erosion is serious. The current results in Guanghan County are that the soil erosion and landdegradation is more serious and the natural disasters happened frequently. Therefore, Comprehensivestudy of the forestland protection countermeasures in Guanghan County is very necessary. In thisthesis, base on the Existing forestry laws and regulations and the theory of woodland quality andgrading divided, and apply the methods such as investigation, literature research etc., GuanghanCounty woodland protection status quo characteristics, the main problems and the measures aresystems researched. The research progress and conclusions are as follows:1. The main problems of Guanghan county forestland protection are analyzed: Excessive projectsabout land used let the forest land protection and management became very difficult; A great deal ofthe forestland needed in economic and social development, the contradiction between protection andutilization is obvious; The forestry investment is not enough, the forestland protective effect isunsatisfied; The Natural landscapes are being suffering damage threat, it has affected the biodiversityprotection; The forest fires have occurred occasionally, which bring some difficulties in forestresources protection; Environmental pollution and ecological problems during rural tourismdevelopment will probably lead the rural ecological environment to further damage.2. The advantages of Guanghan county forestland protection are revealed: China has establisheda new forestry development strategy base on the ecological construction, it is conducive to the workof forestland protection. Guanghan County has the excellent location and perfect transportation andother infrastructure facilities, so it have the good conditions of forestland protection. Guanghancounty has established specialized agencies, such as forest governance, forest police, town and villagecommunity forest protection etc. which engaged in forestland protection and can afford it.3. The overall targets of Guanghan County forestland protection are established: Transform andoptimize the forest land use patterns, it ensures that the targets of forest area and forest stockincreased are achieved in Guanghan County. Optimize the pattern of forest land protection, as the coreof the township(town) forestland protection within the first layer of the hill ridge of the MianyuanRiver (from Lianshan Town to Sanshui Town) in Guanghan County, and optimize the structure offorest land protection, it adjust the utilization structure of Public forest and commercial forest inGuanghan County.4. After researched for the problems about forestland protection in Guanghan County, The mainmeasures are established: First, Guanghan County forestland is divided into four forestlandprotection areas of after comparative and demonstration of a variety of programmes. The four forestland protection areas are hilly soil conservation forests areas, the Mianyuan River Soil andWater Conservation forests areas, the Yazi River wetland soil and water conservation forest area andthe plain commercial forest areas. The protection direction and measures adopted for differentfunctional areas. Second, the quality of forestland is overall evaluated based the forest vegetationgrowth is closely related to the topographic characteristics of the soil and other natural environmentalfactors and operating conditions. Six factors such as forestland soil thickness, soil type, slope, aspect,slope position and traffic location are selected, the Guanghan County forestland quality grade isdivided into three levels, for different quality levels, the protection measures is adopted. Third, adhereto the principle of combining comprehensive protection and focused, according to the ecologicalvulnerability indicators, the importance of ecological niches and forest productivity, forestland inGuanghan County is designated three protection grades as grade Ⅱ, grade Ⅲ and grade ⅳ, it adoptprotection measures for different protection levels. Forth, it establishes forestland Protection rule oflaw, economic and other policies protective measures in Guanhan County.
