Abstract:

This paper studied the stand distribution model in terms of competition which could distribute the overall growth increment of a stand to each individual trees of the stand. Data, collected from a Chinese fir plantation in Huangfengqiao Forest Farm in Hunan province, were used to develop a stand distribution model with Open Comparison Model fO, Simple Competition Index Model fH, and Competition Pressure Index Model fCSI, then propounded a new model—Competition Index Model fCi=1/(afOi+bfHi+cfCSIi). After eliminated outliers, fC was used as a parameter to propound a Stand Growth Distribution Model to distribute the overall growth increment of stand to each individual trees in the stand, and the model is Gi=GTotal×fCi/. Regression analysis obtained a=5.416 081 713, b=1.037 485 025, c=0.157 524 494, with standard error of 0.179 128 42, and R2 of 0.966 704 535. Ten sample plots of the artificial stand were used to verify the model, and it was found that the model's precision was the best for Chinese fir artificial stands, was good for the Liriodendron chinense artificial stands, and was the worst for the mixed forest. Thus, the model is a good empirical model suitable for the artificial stand.

Key words: competition, stand comprehensive competition model, stand growth distribution model
