Taking the typhoon Megi in 2010 as a case,this paper investigated its damage to the main coastal shelterbelt forests in eastern Fujian,and analyzed the related affecting factors.The damaged degree had an obvious difference among the tree species.Broadleaf species were more severely damaged than coniferous species,with the mean damage grade and damage index of broadleaf species being 79.1% and 76.7% higher than those of the coniferous species,respectively.Among the broadleaf species,Eucalyptus received most severe damage,with the mean damage grade and damage index being 90.5% and 36.2%,and 86.7% and 36.6% higher than those of Casuarina and Pinus elliottii,respectively.In terms of damage pattern,stem breakage occurred most commonly,accounting for 40.7% of the total.The trees with different sizes had significant difference in suffering typhoon damage.Stem breakage occurred mostly on the trees at DBH ranging from 12 cm and 14 cm,with a damaged percentage of 56.8%,uprooting occurred mostly on the trees at DBH ranging from 10 cm and 12 cm,with a damaged percentage of 57.9%,while bending and decapitation occurred almost evenly on the trees at different DBH,with a climax at 14 cm,accounting for 28.6% and 18.3%,respectively.Wind-resistance was positively correlated with tree taper,but negatively correlated with tree height,crown area,and crown relative height.Abiotic factors such as topographical condition were another important factors related to typhoon damage.The damage was more severe at windward slope and steep slope than at leeward and gentle slope,and was more severe at slope bottom than at slope top on the windward slope but was reverse on the leeward slope.Resin-tapping had negative effects on the wind-resistance of P.elliottii.The damage index of resin-tapped P.elliottii was 40.6% higher than that of non-tapped trees,and resin-tapped trees received stem breakage at a percentage of 92.7%.
