Abstract

Abstract: A simple crown profile model for 10 broad-leaf species in secondary forest collected from Mao’er Mountains in Heilongjiang province was developed using the data of 3 401 living branches from 176 stems. The shape of crown varied along with the depth into crown(C_DIN)which expanded at the upper, middle parts of the crown, however, shrank at the lower area, the main model could be categorized into the profile model of upper, middle crown(h_RPCA=a₀+a₁/ln R_B+a₂/ln(R_B)²+a₃/ln(R_B)³)and the profile model of lower crown h_RPCB,birch=b₀0+[b₁·(exp(b₂)·ln(R_B)-1)]/b₃; h_{RPCB,phellodendri}=b_0+b₁01·ln(R_B)+b₂·ln(R_B)²; h_RPCB,other=b_0+b₁01·ln(R_B)+b₂2·ln(R_B)²+b₃3·ln(R_B)³. The fitting and validation of these crown profile models performed very well and the correlation coefficients were all greater than 0.97.

Key words: secondary forest, crown profile, branch analysis, crown diameter, depth into crown
