Based　on　the　analysis　of　the　contents　and　technical　characteristics　of　different　scale　forest　visualization　modeling,　this　paper　brought　forward　the　principles　and　technical　systems　of　constructing　an　information　management-based　virtual　forest　landscape.　With　the　combination　of　process　modeling　and　tree　geometric　structure　description,　a　software　method　of　interactively　and　parameterized　tree　modeling　was　developed,　and　the　corresponding　renderings　and　geometrical　elements　simplification　algorithms　were　delineated　to　speed　up　rendering　run-timely.　As　a　pilot　study,　the　geometrical　model　bases　associated　with　the　typical　tree　categories　in　Zhangpu　County　of　Fujian　Province,　southeast　China　were　established　as　template　files.　A　Virtual　Forest　Management　System　prototype　was　developed　with　GIS　component　(ArcObject),　OpenGL　graphics　environment,　and　Visual　C++　language,　based　on　forest　inventory　and　remote　sensing　data.　The　prototype　could　be　used　for　roaming　between　2D　and　3D,　information　query　and　analysis,　and　virtual　and　interactive　forest　growth　simulation,　and　its　reality　and　accuracy　could　meet　the　needs　of　forest　resource　management.　Some　typical　interfaces　of　the　system　and　the　illustrative　scene　cross-sections　of　simulated　masson　pine　growth　under　conditions　of　competition　and　thinning　were　listed.
