In order to study the dynamics of uneven-aged stands of interior Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menzesii var.glouca (Mirb.) Franco in future, six permanent sample plots wer set up on the Knife Creek Block of the Alex Fraser Researh Forcst of University of British Columbia. The measurements and observations for all living trees within theboundaries of a plot wer madc, including DBH(diameter at breast height), TTH(total tree height), height to lowest livingbranch, crown diameter, tree vigor, angle of lean, distance of lean, direction of lean and tree location. Based on the data,some stand characteristics of the plots were analyzed simply and preliminarily. Results showed that most of the interiortrees on the plots are ranged 10-20 cm in distribution of DBH class, and 2-6 m in distribution of rm class. Trees withdifferent fors, however, are distributed unevenly. The relationship between total tree height and diameter at breast heightfollows a quadratic distribution, Y=a+bX+cX2.
