Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tending and transformation of low-efficiency forests in forest management, and in particular to a method for cutting and clearing brush in the tending and transformation of low-efficiency forests. Background Art

[0002] The excessive growth of understory shrubs, bamboos, and thorny vines can cause many problems, mainly manifested in the following aspects.

[0003] Increased fire risk. Many shrub species contain volatile oils, such as certain conifers, resins, or produce large quantities of dry, fine branches and leaves, making them highly flammable during dry seasons. Dense shrubs form a continuous "fuel layer," especially when located under or at the edge of a forest. This can accelerate the spread of fire between the ground and the treetops, greatly increasing the difficulty of extinguishing and the intensity of fires. Shrubs near roads or residential areas can spark fires due to discarded cigarette butts, improper use of fire, and other factors. Removing flammable vegetation can prevent the spread of fire.

[0004] Competition for target tree species. Competition for light: Fast-growing shrubs will shade young trees or target tree species (such as timber forests and economic forests), limiting their photosynthesis, causing them to grow slowly or even die. Competition for water and nutrients: Shrubs have dense root systems and will compete with target tree species for water and nutrients in the soil, especially in drought, barren conditions or in the early stages of afforestation. Competition for space: Dense shrubs may squeeze the growth space of target tree species. Shrub cutting helps young and medium-sized forest vegetation promote rapid forest formation.

[0005] Impacts on forest regeneration. Overly dense shrubs can hinder the seed landing, germination, and seedling growth of tree species, affecting the natural regeneration process of the forest. Some invasive shrubs can completely crowd out native tree seedlings.

[0006] Obstruction of movement and operations. Thorny or densely growing shrubs (such as brambles) can hinder the movement of people and livestock through forest areas, making patrols, surveys, logging, and tourism more difficult and dangerous. This can increase the cost and complexity of forestry operations (such as afforestation, tending, and logging).

[0007] Potential hosts for pests and diseases. Certain shrubs may serve as intermediate hosts or overwintering sites for specific forest pests or pathogens, potentially increasing the risk of infection for adjacent target tree species.

[0008] Brush cutting and weeding is used to remove shrubs, bamboos, and thorny vines that hinder the growth of target trees, saplings, and seedlings. This measure is applicable to plantations before stand closure, where the growth of target species' saplings is completely affected by shrubs, bamboos, and thorny vines, or where the saplings are severely shaded from above or to the sides. It is also applicable to plantations after stand closure, where the target species' saplings are taller than the surrounding shrubs, significantly impacting their growth and development. When clearing brush, attention should be paid to protecting rare and endangered trees, saplings in forest windows, and saplings with growth potential under the forest floor. Whole-forest brush cutting and weeding should not be performed. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for cutting and clearing shrubs in the tending and transformation of low-efficiency forests, so as to solve the problem that in the traditional method of cutting and clearing shrubs in the tending and transformation of low-efficiency forests, cutting and clearing shrubs is difficult, the method is not in place and not thorough, resulting in poor growth of some trees due to the recovery and rebound of shrubs.

[0010] The present invention has established unique methods of mechanical cleaning, manual cleaning, biological cleaning, chemical control, and covering inhibition, which have effectively improved the spatial structure of forest land and provided strong support for the healthy growth of trees.

[0011] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for tending, transforming, cutting and clearing shrubs in low-efficiency forests, comprising the following steps: (1) Preliminary preparation First, clearly define the objectives of brush cutting: these may include fire prevention, ecological restoration, invasive species removal, and forest cultivation. Next, investigate the operation area: its size, topography, slope, soil type, existing vegetation type, stand density, and the presence of target tree species or rare species requiring protection. Large areas should be divided into zones, and treatment should be carried out in an orderly manner. Ensure safety precautions: wear gloves, goggles, long-sleeved shirts and pants, and non-slip shoes.

[0012] (2) Mechanical cleaning For weeds, use a tractor-mounted or self-propelled large brush cutter, rotary cutter, or flail mower. Use an excavator, bulldozer (with a brush blade or rake attached), or specialized brush cutter to uproot or crush weeds.

[0013] For the above-ground parts of weeds, you can use brush cutters, chainsaws, etc. to remove them and create conditions for root digging, but they cannot replace root digging.

[0014] For vine thorns, use a small excavator to dig up the vines, even at their roots. This is highly efficient, but is limited by the terrain. Mechanical clearing, combined with root removal, is followed by replanting of shade-tolerant trees to accelerate forest ecological recovery. Choose the optimal time for this operation. A suitable area is essential.

[0015] (3) Manual cleaning For shrubs, use tools such as machetes, sickles, axes, hand saws, chainsaws, shovels, and pruning shears to cut, dig up, or remove them. Use a shovel to dig up shrubs by the roots to prevent regrowth. Use pruning shears to handle tougher branches. Use tools such as backpack brush cutters and sickles to remove surface weeds and the above-ground parts of low shrubs. For thicker shrubs or small trees, use a handheld electric saw or chain saw.

[0016] For weedy bamboos, it's crucial to choose the optimal time to dig deep, locating and, if possible, removing the primary bamboo rhizome system. Common tools include a hoe, pickaxe, and shovel. For older, thicker rhizomes, an axe or saw may be necessary. Locate the base of the bamboo culm and dig deep along the culm. Any remaining stumps (underground stem remnants) should also be removed or their growth points destroyed (e.g., by splitting them with an axe). Excavation should be complete.

[0017] For vine thorns, use tools such as shovels to dig out all roots in the soil to prevent further germination later. This is suitable for areas with steep slopes and difficult access for machinery.

[0018] (4) Biological cleaning This involves using herbivores such as goats, sheep, and cattle to graze specific shrubs under controlled conditions, and planting cover plants (such as clover) to suppress weed growth.

[0019] (5) Chemical control In certain circumstances (e.g., stubborn, widespread infestation), under professional guidance, low-toxic, systemic herbicides (such as glyphosate) may be applied to the remaining bamboo stumps or newly sprouted bamboo shoots after excavation to kill any remaining roots. Pesticide use must strictly adhere to regulations to prevent environmental pollution and damage to non-target plants, and comply with local forestry regulations.

[0020] (6) Residue disposal For shrubs, felled or uprooted branches are fed into a mobile shredder to be processed into wood chips or debris. The remaining material is crushed on-site and spread throughout the forest to inhibit shrub and weed growth or processed into biomass energy or compost. If a shredder is not available, the wood can be piled together in a safe, compliant location to allow it to decompose naturally.

[0021] For weed bamboos, the removed bamboo rhizomes and roots should be removed from the forest or properly disposed of (e.g., piled together for drying; or chopped and used as mulch to prevent regeneration).

[0022] For vine thorns, remove the excavated vines from the forest or chop and crush them on site to prevent them from rotting and potentially causing pests and diseases. If the vine has the ability to regenerate (such as kudzu), completely remove the roots or use an environmentally friendly herbicide to inhibit regrowth.

[0023] (7) Coverage suppression For weed bamboos, after digging them out, laying thick black non-woven fabric or organic covering (such as wood chips, crushed branches) can inhibit the germination of remaining bamboo shoots and the growth of weeds.

[0024] (8) Subsequent management After clearing, weeds often sprout and regenerate. A follow-up management plan, such as regular mowing, spot spraying, or biological control, is needed to maintain the results of the clearing.

[0025] After clearing, the weeds must be continuously monitored and removed to promote the recovery of target vegetation.

[0026] After clearing thorns, regular inspections and monitoring are required, and newly sprouted vines should be promptly removed to prevent secondary outbreaks. This is combined with tending measures such as thinning and pruning to comprehensively improve forest health. Invasive species prevention and control assessments are conducted, and if the invasive vines (such as Parthenocissus quinquefolia and Prunus nigra) are introduced, strict excavation strategies are required.

[0027] Preferably, in step (2), the optimal time is selected to be during the peak growth season of vines (e.g., spring and summer), when vines are less resilient, easily cut, and have weak regeneration capabilities. Avoid operations during bird breeding season or fruit ripening season to reduce interference with wildlife.

[0028] Preferably, in step (2), the suitable area refers to an area with a high coverage of lianas (such as kudzu, ivy and other invasive or native entangled species); an area where trees in artificial forests or natural secondary forests are severely suppressed by lianas.

[0029] Preferably, in step (3), the optimal time is usually selected during a relatively slow growth period of bamboo (e.g., winter) or before new bamboo shoots emerge from the soil. At this time, the nutrients in the bamboo rhizomes are relatively concentrated, the removal effect is likely to be better, and the interference with the operation is minimal. Avoid performing the excavation during the rainy season to reduce soil erosion.

[0030] Preferably, in step (3), the deep digging refers to digging to the bamboo rhizome layer (usually 10-30 cm below the soil surface, depending on the bamboo species and soil), and exposing the main rhizome and branch rhizome connected to the bamboo pole as much as possible. The exposed bamboo rhizome is cut off and dug out. It is important to dig as cleanly as possible, especially the thick and strong old rhizome ("dragon head rhizome" or "main rhizome"), which is key to energy storage and the germination of new bamboo shoots.

[0031] Preferably, in step (8), the cleaned bamboo shoots need to be continuously monitored and removed. The critical period is 1-3 years after removal. The forest land needs to be inspected regularly (e.g., 1-2 times a year). Once newly sprouted bamboo shoots or bamboo trunks are found, they should be removed immediately (either by cutting or re-excavating) to prevent them from sprouting again.

[0032] Preferably, in step (8), the spot application of pesticides refers to treating felled tree stumps with a "spot application" method to prevent suckers from sprouting.

[0033] Preferably, in step (8), promoting the restoration of target vegetation means that after removing the weeds, target tree species or native tree species should be promptly replanted, or measures to promote natural regeneration (such as retaining mother trees, artificially promoting sowing of seedlings) should be taken to allow the target vegetation to occupy the space as soon as possible and form a competitive advantage.

[0034] The method of tending, transforming, cutting and clearing low-efficiency forests proposed in the present invention has many significant beneficial effects: 1. The present invention effectively solves the competition of weeds, bamboos and thorns on target trees. Weeds, bamboos and thorns compete with target trees for light, water and nutrients. After they are removed, the competition for resources can be reduced. 2. This invention effectively reduces the risk of fire. The miscellaneous shrubs, bamboos and thorns can easily cause the fire to spread. After cleaning, the hidden dangers of forest fires can be reduced. 3. The present invention effectively promotes the natural regeneration of forest stands, creates growth space for seedlings and saplings, and enhances the natural recovery capacity of forests.
