A normal yield table forLarix gmelinh in Daxin ganling based on the maximum growth rate method

Normal yield tables forLarix gmelimii (Rupr) Rupr. were constructed from 228 temporary sample plots. A normal stand was defined as having the maximum growth rate parameter, based on the theory of forest growth. Basal area growth curves were described with Richard’s equation according to Von-Bertalanffy’s growth theory and allometric law. The growth rate parameter was found to be K, so a normal stand had maximum K. Thus, the basal area growth curve of a normal stand was obtained simply by increasing K. A normal yield table forL. gmelinii of Daxinganling natural forest was then constructed.
