The objectives of this study were to derive site index and stem volume prediction equation based on stem analysis data for Larix leptolepis in Jinan region. The function for site index was developed by algebraic difference equation method. Polymorphic site index family curves with base age of 40 were presented based on the Schumacher height equation. The best stem volume prediction equation was suggested as V=0.00260+0.00000399D²H. The simultaneous F-test using this equation showed that the estimated tree stem volumes were not significantly different (α=0.05 level) from the observed stem volumes for model evaluation.
