The invention discloses a method for transforming degraded lodgepole pines into a high-quality pseudolarix protection forest. For the situations of lodgepole pines in mountainous regions at a higher altitude that the growth is slow, plant diseases and insect pests occur frequently, the protection effect is poor and the stand regeneration is difficult, through the technical measures of sample-plotsurvey, determination of restoration tree varieties, sanitation felling and land preparation, reinforcement planting of target tree varieties, young forest tending, lighting cutting, tending felling,cultivation of target tree varieties and stand management, the stand structure, species composition and stand health condition are improved, the survival and growth of trees are obviously promoted, and the forest wood quality is improved. Compared with the prior art, the method for transforming the degraded lodgepole pines into the high-quality pseudolarix protection forest has the advantages thatthe construction is easy, the restoration is fast, the productivity is high, the protection effect is good, the operation is easy, the healthy and stable development and sustainable use of the forestcan be effectively promoted, and the method can be used for the ecological restoration reconstruction of degraded protection forests in the mountainous regions at the higher altitude.
