Popis: Xishuangbanna is the most important tropical rainforest region in southwestern China, with important ecological and economic value. In order to obtain the huge economic benefits of planting Pu’er tea, the local people often use the method of ‘annular barking’ for the trees suitable for planting tea trees, so that the tea trees can absorb more nutrients and thus obtain higher economic benefits. In this paper, random sampling method is used to collect data of 12 species of trees totaling 1753 samples in Xishuangbanna where cases of barking happen frequently. By collecting the data such as the year of barking, the growth environment of trees and the growth potential of trees, using linear regression analysis, a regression equation for the tree growth potential and the year of the barking. Through analysis, it is found that the growth potential of the barked trees is negatively correlated with the years after being barked, and the regression equation for the relationship between survival rate and years after being barked is: Y=46.366-8.289x. The conclusion of this study will provide evidence of the tree damage and deaths caused by barking for forest police in Xishuangbanna, and provide strong theoretical support for the effective fight against criminals.
