Abstract: Let G be a planar graph with maximum degree Δ.  The linear 2-arboricity of G is the least integer k such that G can be partitioned into k edge disjoint forests, whose component trees are paths of length at most 2. It is denoted by la2(G). We get that la2(G)≤「Δ／2-+8 if Δ≡0,3(mod 4) and la2(G)≤「Δ／2-+7 if Δ≡1,2(mod 4).
