Abstract:The spatially explicit landscape model (LANDIS) was used to study the long-term forest landscape change in Huzhong area located in Mt.Daxing‘anling. In order to assess the effect of harvest on forest landscape change, we simulated the landscape change under two scenarios: (1) with harvest and (2) without harvest. The species percent area and species age cohort percent area for each species under two simulation scenarios were derived using APACK. The aggregation index of each species was calculated to quanti...
