Because growth environment is affected by climate change,  Dacrydium pierrei  resources are becoming less and less. Therefore, understanding the effects of environmental variables on seedling-sapling distributions can help gain insight into changes in population recruitment in the context of climate change. The seedling-saplings distribution and variability of  Dacrydium pierrei  in environmental variables at Bawangling, Hainan, China, was surveyed over a 3-year period. In addition, laboratory experiments measuring the effects of soil moisture on seedling emergence were conducted to identify seedling development characteristics; principal component analysis (PCA) and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) were used to assess how different factors influenced  Dacrydium pierrei  seedlings-saplings distribution. The results demonstrated that the influence degree of seedling-sapling distribution is soil temperature&gt;litter thickness&gt;available phosphorus&gt;canopy density&gt; available potassium&gt;nitrate nitrogen; a large number of seedling-saplings occurring at altitudes 1140-1300 m; a GMM trained with a C 2 -L 3 -H 4 -A 5 -I 6  combination yielded an accuracy of 72.23% in simulating seedling-saplings distribution; temperature and precipitation have strong impact on seedling-sapling distribution, with increasing soil moisture, seedling emergence shows a positive relationship. This study focuses more on developing a new method for research on the seedling-sapling distribution of  Dacrydium pierrei  to get reference for its adaptive management with the intense extreme climate change.
