Study on wind damage grade model for eucalyptus plantation in Guangxi, China

Wind damage is one of the dominant natural disasters that have greatest impact on growth plantations. However, little attention has been paid to wind grade model. Based eucalyptus plantations from national forest inventory data and field investigations in Guangxi, ten significant factors are susceptible were selected perform multiple linear regression analysis Through assessing level based characteristic site conditions, we aimed reduce loss economic benefits caused by damage. The results showed age group trees, slope, soil thickness, management grade, total vegetation coverage had effects trees this area. Therefore, it necessary protect land strengthen improve resistance forests future.
