Relationships among DBH, Crown Width & Stand Age of Pinus sylvestris var.mongolica Plantation in Sand Land
The stand age,DBH,crown diameter & branch height of 10-60-year-old Pinus sylvestris var.mongolica plantation were investigated,observed and measured with SPSS in Horqin sandy land.Result shows that DBH growth and height of branches under Pinus sylvestris var.mongolica plantation have a significant correlation with stand age.The crown width have significant correlation with stand age,and there is a significant correlation between growth increment,And the increase with age,site conditions,differences may extend or shorten the process,but will not change this trend.The model of DBH,crown size & branch height under different stand age is;y=e0.75 + 3.212 / x,y =-0.085 + 0.344x-0.008 x2,y =e2.942-57.681 / x,respectively.;the model of ratio of crown width and diameter under different stand age is y =0.382 73 e-0.012 55 x.It revealed the law of growth of indices (DBH and crown width) changed with the stand age.
