Abstract:This paper, through the study of the gap disturbanc e patterns in the forest, described some important characteristics related to th e disturbance regimes in Castanopsis kawakamii forest The results showed t hat the areas occupied by the expanded gaps (EG) accounted for 34 46% and by th e canopy gaps (CG) accounted for 17 81% of the total land areas in Castanopsi s kawakamii forest. The natural gap disturbance frequencies were 0.69% for EG and 0 36% for CG Per year, respectively, and the recovering i n...
