Research on the construction of growth models for dominant tree species in the Manas River Basin, Xinjiang.

ABSTRACT: Research on forest growth models is not only crucial for regional ecological security and the optimal allocation of water and carbon resources but is also a key component in the study of carbon cycling in arid regions, holding scientific and practical significance for addressing climate change and promoting green sustainable development. Therefore, this study takes the Manas River Basin in Xinjiang as an example and based on the 2011 forest resource survey data from the Manas River Basin, constructs basic growth models for the diameter at breast height (DBH)-height and age-DBH relationships for five dominant tree types: Spruce, Poplar, Mixed wood, Sand jujube, and Populus euphratica. The optimal basic models for each types are selected. Secondly, climate factors (annual precipitatio
