Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate site and soil factors affecting growth of root collar diameter (RCD) and height (HT) of Larix kaempferi trees planted in harvested Larix kaempferi plantations. We were found effect factors of growth of RCD and HT using 15 of site and soil factors. And then we made the growth estimated equations of RCD and HT of 6-years-old L. kaempferi tree by the derived affecting factors. The growth of RCD was affected in order of available phosphorus (+), effective soil depth (+), organic matter (-), sand separate in soil (-), pH (-), and elevation (-), and the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of the growth estimated equation of RCD was 0.51. The growth of HT was affected in order of effective soil depth (+), elevation (-) slope (-), and available phosphorus (+) and the $R^2$ of the growth estimated equation of HT was 0.46. The growth of RCD and HT were commonly affected by effective soil depth, available phosphorus, and elevation. Therefore, planting site of L. kaempferi should be considered the mainly effect factors in order to keep better early growth based on the current study.
