Abstract:
In this study, we constructed the habitat evaluation models of larch plantation grown at the
Mengjiagang Forest Farm of Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province of northeastern China by using fuzzy
analytic hierarchy process ( FAHP), and calculated the weights of various indicators based on the
identified hierarchical structures of the models. First, criterion layer was used to determine the evaluation
indicators related to site conditions and habitat management factors, and the corresponding weights were
70% and 30%, respectively. Second, the weights of secondary evaluation indexes in the constructed
models were slope(I1) 0.1901, aspect(I2) 0.1633, slope position(I3) 0.170 1, agrotype (I4) 0.163 3,
soil thickness(I5) 0.180 1, canopy density(I6 ) 0.133 3, infrastructure(I7 ) 0.399 7, construction of
laws and regulations(I8) 0.316 9, and the level of scientific research(I9 ) 0.283 3. In this study, the
constructed plantation habitat evaluation system, based on plantation habitat evaluation models, achieved
good integration of habitat evaluation results and GIS technique. It is useful for researchers to apply the
criterion tree planting matching the site. Meanwhile, it provides references for forest development.
