Abstract
The objectives focus on 1) clarify the forest structure with existed of Bretschneidera sinensis Hemsl. in natural site 2) to detect the relationship between some physical and soil properties and of B. sinensis Hemsl. and 3) to apply GIS for classification of natural potential site of B. sinensis Hemsl. in Doi Phu Kha National Park, Nan province.
The result shows that plant community of B. sinensis Hemsl. was identified as hill evergreen forest. It was consisted of plant in 18 families, 26 genus and 28 species. The most important species were Macaranga denticulate, Bretschneidera sinensis, Elaeocarpus braceanus, Schima wallichii and Syzygium helferi at the IVI of 62.25, 41.85, 25.71, 22.90 and 16.52 respectively. The relationship model of some physical factors and soil properties using linear regression analysis has shown the accuracy level of 51%. The significant factors are including slope, aspect, elevation, distance from surface water, particle of sand, silt, clay, soil reaction, organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. The natural potential site identification for B. sinensis Hemsl. Using GIS has shown the high potential levels of 315,532.81 rais or 504.85 km2, moderately potential levels of 448,798.44 rais or 718.08 km2 and low potential levels of 294,029.68 rais or 470.45 km2
