Establishment of standardized site index of needle-leaved forest and its application in evaluation of site quality in Daxing'an Mountains

Abstract

The site index lists of the artificialLarix gmelini andPinus sylvestris var.mongolica forests in Daxing'an Mountains region were analyzed by the principle of the two-point method. The standardized growth model of the artificial needle-leaved forest was set up. According to the model, the each growth-index class and theoretical values of each age-class were calculated, and the standardized site index list was constituted. The test of the theoretical values showed that the standardized site index list meet the demand of precision. This study resolved the conversions of site indexes between the same species in different site types and the different species in different site types for needle-leaved forests in Daxing'an Mountains region.
