英国农用林(Agro-forestry)的系统研究始于80年代中期。为了推动农用林的研究及发展,英国成立了一个非正式组织,称为英国“农用林研究讨论会”,以协同全国的农用林研究工作。该会下设若干小组,从事各学科的研究。英国几乎无农用林成龄林分。为了节约时间,他们成功地运用了成龄树进行研究。成龄树研究中又分间伐林分和单株木。英国针叶树造林一般采用2×2米植距.Macaulay土地利用研究所及林业委员会北 Systematic studies of Agro-forestry in the United Kingdom began in the mid-1980s. In order to promote the research and development of agroforestry, the United Kingdom has set up an informal organization called the “Symposium on Agroforestry Research” in the United Kingdom to synergize the research work on agroforestry in the country. There are a number of groups under the club that are engaged in the research of various disciplines. There is almost no forest stand in the United Kingdom. In order to save time, they successfully used adult trees for research. In the study of adult trees, we also divide the forest with individual trees.
