Abstract：Plantation wood including poplar and black locust has an increasing application in solid wood products in China, and poor materials, defects, size small ect. result in big difficulty in lumbering, drying and deep processing. In this paper, the research and development of poplar and black locust are reviewed; the conception of poplar/black locust composite structure is introducted, which was put forward under the enlightenment of innovation and application of the bamboo/wood composite structure theory, it is a composite structure maked from poplar and black locust plate(or small square) by mutual bonding through scientific and reasonable design, both the dual advantages of poplar and black locust, which is effective use and integrated innovation; furthermore the research progress and main achievements obtained are reported; finally, the development and utilization prospect of poplar/black locust composite structure is forecasted that is promote enthusiasm of mixed forest in the construction of the fast-growing, drive the development of related industries, and create the sustainable development of the multi-dimensional industrial pattern.
