Title: Study on Stand Structure and Growth Law of Near-mature Phoebe bourmei Plantation
Abstract: Methods of large sample investigation in whole stands and average analytic trees were used to analyze individual growth and stand structure of Phoebe bourmei plantations with 29 years old,which were near-mature-forest.The results showed that the average diameter at breast height(DBH),tree height and volume of P.bourmei plantation stand in site Ⅱ was 15.7 cm,16.3 m and 0.157 3 m3,respectively.The individual DBH in the P.bourmei stand showed normal distribution and the individuals with a 14~18 cm DBH were accounted for 58% of the plantation.Tree heights were parabolically distributed with the diameter classes.Fast growing period of tree height,DBH and current annual volume increment for P.bourmei plantation was 14~21 years and individual volume increment and stand volume were kept rapidly after 15 years.The study provided theoretical reference for cultivation and management of P.bourmei plantations.
