Abstract:

The system yield table can be adapted to various stand structures and forest treatments. At first, growth models at either tree level or stand level were established using the growth data of the permanent sample plots. Next, based on the growth models, a system yield table for Larix kaempferi stand was worked out and the procedure of constructing the system yield table was generalized. The distinguishing feature of this study is that the object of this study is the present stand so as to establish a growth model for the whole stand and for stand diameter groups. Total growth increment from the former can distribute to diameter groups and tree height groups by the latter to ensure the predicting results at stand level to be compatible with the growth of a single tree.

Key words: Larix kaempferi plantation, Growth model, System yield table
