title: [Comprehensive management patterns of economic fruit forest in Dashan Village and their ecological and economic benefits].
abstract: With the theories of economy and ecology, this paper analyzed the main management patterns of economic fruit forest in the Dashan Village, Huoqiu County, Anhui Province. The results showed that 9-year-old mandarin-tea, 5-year-old persimmon-potato-watermelon, 7-year-old pear-potato-soybean, and 7-year-old pear-balloonflower had obvious social, economic and ecological benefits. Their net economic benefits were 8 700.00, 12 351.00, 12 337.50 and 22 500.00 yuan x hm(-2), respectively, higher than that of single crop planting. In these patterns, the crown density between rows could reach 0.3 - 0.4, and the light utilization rate increased by 20% - 30%.
