The invention discloses a
secondary forest development stage division method based on forest stand state characteristics, and belongs to the technical field of forest development stage division. Comprising the following steps: selecting an initial index set, performing index forward and
standardization processing on
sample plot survey data, and forming a
data set; classifying the data by adopting a
system clustering
analysis method, checking and analyzing a state index influencing a
classification result, and selecting plt; the index of 0.05 constitutes a
secondary forest development stage division
index system; carrying out weight assignment, then correcting the weight by adopting an entropy evaluation method, and determining the comprehensive weight of the index by utilizing a
Lagrange multiplier method; the sum of the dimension-removed value of the division index and the comprehensive
weight value product is a development stage value; according to an
equidistant method, the development stage of the
secondary forest is divided into a forest gap stage, a renewal stage, a differentiation stage, a built-up stage and a stable stage. Depending on forest age is avoided, and the method is suitable for multi-tree mixed secondary forests; the indexes are easy to obtain, and the division result can accurately guide
forest management.
