Castanopsis sclerophylla is a national second-class protected plant, belonging to FAGACEAE and Cone, with a tree height of15m and a DBH of 50cm. Its bark is shallow, longitudinally cracked and its branches and leaves are hairless. Usually one side is slightly short and oblique, the leaves are leathery, the inflorescence axis is hairless, the male ear is usually axillary, and there are occasionally 2-3 nuts in the fruit shell. Flowering from April to May, 10- 1 1 began to bear fruit and ripen.

Young forests grow slowly within 3-4 years after planting and are easily covered by weeds, which affects their survival and growth. Therefore, tending management should be strengthened 3-4 years after afforestation. Weeding and loosening the soil are generally done twice a year before young forests are covered, with the first tending in May-June and the second tending in August-September. When trees differentiate after shading, thinning should be carried out in stages according to different cultivation purposes. Different growth light intensity has great influence on the growth of Castanopsis sclerophylla seedlings, and the growth of seedling height and ground diameter is obviously different under different light. Weak light will affect the growth of Castanopsis sclerophylla seedlings, resulting in low seedling height and poor quality.
