title: [Quantitative characteristics of rare and endangered Castanopsis kawakamii population].
abstract: In this paper, a new self-adaptive model for population growth, i.e. S = exp(alpha ln2(1 + ce-rt) + beta ln(1 + ce-rt) + gamma) was established, which combined Logistic, Smith, Gompertz, Gui-Lawson, Zhang-Logistic and Liu-Logistic models. Estimations with genetic algorithm showed that the new model was more suitable than other models to simulate the actual growth trend of Castanopsis kawakamii population.
