Pinus armandii+Lespedeza formosa+Arthraxon hispidus,Ass. Pinus armandii+Lespedeza formosa+Ctenitopsis devexa,Ass. Pinus armandii+Rosa multiflora+Carex siderosticta,Ass. Pinus armandii+Lespedeza cyrtobotrya+Artemisia atrovirens,Ass. Pinus armandii+Spiraea wilsonii+Anaphalis sinica,Ass. Pinus armandii+Spiraea wilsonii+Athyrium otophorum,and Ass. Pinus armandii+Duchesnea indica.Reasonable management advices were put forward according to the characteristic of different associations.
