Yang Yu 1957 was born in Xiajin, Shandong Province on April 25th. 1974 to 1976 worked as an educated youth in Beiguan Forest Farm of Tieli Forestry Bureau in Heilongjiang Province. Since then, he has formed an indissoluble bond with trees and forestry.
1977 was admitted to the forestry major of Northeast Forestry College (now Northeast Forestry University) at that time. 1980 after graduation, he stayed in school to teach in the teaching and research section of forest genetics and breeding, and began his research career of tirelessly exploring the mysteries of forest trees. 1985 to 1988, studying for a master's degree in this major. During this period, he also went to the Finnish Academy of Forestry to study forest genetics and breeding. Although it only lasted for two months, it greatly broadened his horizons and ideas.
Since then, he has been a lecturer, associate professor and professor, and deputy director and director of the scientific research department of Northeast Forestry University. From 1995 to 1998, I became a student again, studying for a doctorate in botany in Northeast Forestry University. For many years, Yang has been devoted to the research work in the field of forest genetic breeding in China. He has participated in the national key scientific research project "Experimental Study on Geographical Provenance of Korean Pine". Larix gmelinii, Larix olgensis and Larix gmelinii ",participated in and presided over the National Key Scientific Research Project" Breeding of Betula platyphylla and Betula luminifera Plywood "in the Eighth Five-Year Plan, and presided over the Heilongjiang Provincial Natural Science Foundation Project" Study on Population Genetic Structure of Larix gmelinii "... He proposed a complete and systematic provenance research program and method. He put forward two methods to determine the comprehensive index weight of provenance traits in the selection of excellent provenances. In the construction of northern seed orchard, a new idea was put forward that the materials should be based on fruit and growth traits, while taking into account resistance and shape and quality indicators. At the national academic report meeting on forest genetics and breeding, it was also proposed that the second selection of superior trees should be carried out nationwide.
On the road of scientific research, Yang created many firsts: for the first time, he put forward the concept of afforestation ecological similar area and the division method of similar area, which put forward a feasible and unsolved problem for the study of geographical variation law and the determination of representative pilot projects; The concept of equivalent latitude was introduced to China for the first time, and it was first applied to provenance research practice. For the first time, the intensive breeding of Betula platyphylla was organically combined with the holographic time series automatic monitoring of artificial ecological factors, and 2-3-year-old young Betula platyphylla trees blossomed and bore fruit in 5-6 years.
During the period of 1990, at the appraisal meeting hosted by the Ministry of Forestry and attended by most members of the Standing Committee of China Forest Genetics and Breeding Society, experts thought that Yang's "provenance test of Larix olgensis" had reached the international advanced level. This achievement won the first prize of Science and Technology Progress of the Ministry of Forestry 199 1 and the second prize of National Science and Technology Progress 1992 respectively. 1993, the "Provenance Test of Main Conifer Species in Northeast and Inner Mongolia Provinces" led by the provenance test of Larix olgensis was awarded to the Forestry Industry Branch.
The highest academic award in academic research-Liang Award. Yang won three second prizes for scientific and technological progress in Heilongjiang Province and six third prizes for scientific and technological progress at the provincial and ministerial levels. The main works edited and presided over include Human Genetics, Larix olgensis Research, Korean Pine Research and Modern Forestry Management Technology, and more than 50 papers have been published. While making fruitful achievements in scientific research, Yang has also made gratifying achievements in teaching. Teaching experimental statistics, forest genetics, forest breeding, population genetics and the application of multivariate statistical analysis in forest breeding for undergraduates and postgraduates. In the comprehensive evaluation of 199 1 typical courses of the whole school, the course of Forest Breeding is excellent in seven evaluation indexes, and won the Garden Award of Northeast Forestry University with 1992. From 65438 to 0995, after Yang became the vice president of Northeast Forestry University, he still insisted on teaching, guiding 8 graduate students and 4 graduate students successively. There are 5 doctoral students and 3 postdoctoral students.
Yang also participated in many social activities. He is also the director of China Genetic Society, director of China Forestry Society, deputy director of Forest Genetics and Breeding Branch, executive director of China Forestry Science and Technology Management Research Association, executive director, deputy secretary general and vice chairman of Heilongjiang Forestry Society, chairman of forest genetics and breeding professional committee, president of Northeast and Inner Mongolia Forest Genetics and Breeding Research Association, judge of National Science and Technology Progress Award, and judge of Heilongjiang Province and Forestry Science and Technology Progress Award.
Yang's scientific research results are producing great economic benefits. On the basis of experimental study on provenance of Larix olgensis, cooperation with the Provincial Forestry Department to promote the excellent provenance of Xiaobeihu began with 1988. As one of the main participants of Northeast Forestry University, Yang participated in the whole promotion process. By the end of 1993, the accumulated afforestation area was 82,626.08 hectares. It has been popularized for 7 years, with an annual extension of 8,946.5 hectares, an average annual timber growth of 88,034.35 cubic meters, an average annual timber income of 30178,200 yuan, an average annual tax payment of 85 10300 yuan and an average annual net income of 65,438+. According to the planning of Heilongjiang Provincial Forestry Department and General Administration of Forest Industry, a 133300 hectare plantation of Larix olgensis will be built in the future. If all the seeds of the excellent provenance of Xiaobeihu Lake are used for afforestation, the annual output of our province will increase by 7.218,200 cubic meters by the time of main cutting in 22 years, and the income from increasing production will be 2.474 billion yuan, and the tax will be 655 million yuan.
The success of "birch intensive breeding technology" has attracted great attention from colleagues, production units, management departments and relevant experts and leaders at home and abroad. The Provincial General Administration of Forest Industry decided to popularize the intensive breeding technology of Betula platyphylla in Northeast Forestry University. Hebei Forestry Bureau has established a birch seed orchard with a total area of 4,000 square meters.
65438+1September, 1999, the State Planning Commission's major biological high-tech industrialization project, including the Betula platyphylla enhanced seed orchard, namely "High-tech industrialization demonstration project of excellent forest clone rapid propagation base in Yichun, Heilongjiang Province", has been approved by the State Planning Commission with a total investment of 68 million yuan. The construction of this project is supported by Northeast Forestry University, with Professor Yang as the technical director.
Yang's scientific research achievements have also achieved remarkable social benefits. Geographical provenance variation and provenance selection of Larix olgensis have been included in GB "China Forest Seed Zone" promulgated and implemented by the State 1998, which has important guiding significance for scientific management of Larix olgensis seeds and construction of improved seed base.
Since the operation of 1998 plastic shed was strengthened, the birch seed orchard has received more than 300 visits from domestic and foreign leaders, experts and scholars, and has been highly praised.
Yang has a profound theoretical foundation and rich practical experience in the field of forest and wood breeding research. He presided over the third-level project of the ninth five-year national science and technology research-breeding and cultivation technology of improved varieties of paulownia and birch veneer wood-based panels, and was the person in charge of the "948" international introduction project and the second-level national science and technology research project "Research on breeding and cultivation technology of new varieties of veneer wood-based panels". At the same time, it also undertakes the key project of the Ministry of Forestry, "Quantitative Index Evaluation of Salt Tolerance of Main Afforestation Tree Species in Northeast China and Tree Species Breeding", the fund project of outstanding young teachers of the State Education Commission and the fund project of outstanding young people in Heilongjiang Province.
Yang was awarded the first batch of top-notch young talents by 1992 for his outstanding contribution to forestry scientific research and higher education in China. 1993 was promoted to professor and enjoyed special government allowance from the State Council. 1994 was approved by the Ministry of personnel as a national-level young and middle-aged expert with outstanding contributions; 1995 was awarded the title of outstanding young and middle-aged expert in Heilongjiang province, and in the same year was selected as the "10000" trans-century academic leader of the Ministry of Forestry; 1996 was rated as an advanced individual in the national "eighth five-year plan" scientific and technological research; 1999 won the Heilongjiang Greening Medal; In 2000, he was selected as a national "100 million" trans-century talent by the Ministry of Personnel.
