The change of the stand structure and the volume increment of the selection forest of "MAATE" in first cutting cycle(1980-1985) were investigated at the Kohtokuji permanent plot set up in Mii Cho, Wajima City. The forest has been managed by the selection method.
The change processes of diameter and height distribution in the cutting cycle were shown Table 10-Table 13. After cutting in 1983, regeneration of forest succeed dering this work.
The diameter and height distributions of this plot shown as Type I of Pearson's frequency curve(twisted J-shape type).
The current annual volume increment in the cutting cycle amounted 9.8m^3 per ha., and the remaining trees of middle and large class produced the major part of the total increment.
