Abstract:Based on data from 92 permanent plots and 283 sample trees of Chinese fir,thechange pattern of LAI at different density,age and site type in two regions was ana-lyzed.The results showed that the relation between LAI and age can be expressed by the formula:LAI=—1.669+1.040a—0。027a2 and there was one point of LAI culmination at the age of 19.With increasing of stands density,LAl increases and ultimately reaches to a certain value.The better site type is,the higher LAI gets.Intermediate cutting has a positive effect on trees growth and LAI can restore as before in a specific time after intermediate cutting.
