Abstract: Richards function was used as a basic model to study the non-intersection polymorphic site index curve,which solved the problem existed while the height of the tree was not uniform with the site index at standard age in plantations of Chinese fir and Masson pine.A practical site index substitution formula was worked out to get the site index according to the height and age of the tree.The problem that whether site index will chang at different standard age or not was discussed.Finally,a general discussion on properties of the polymorphic site index curve equation for Chinese fir was made.
