GB/T 18337.3-2001

This standard provides technical regulations for the construction of non-commercial forests, specifically ecological public welfare forests, focusing on site preparation, tree species selection, planting, and tending. It is applied in China's forestry sector for the establishment and management of forests designated for ecological protection, such as water conservation, soil erosion control, and biodiversity preservation, rather than timber production. The regulation guides forestry professionals and land managers in implementing standardized practices for these conservation-oriented forest projects.
