Pine-oak mixed forests in the Qinling Mountains are an essential part of the ecosystem in Northwestern China. Diameter distribution models for four species groups of pine-oak mixed forests were developed using the Weibull function. Both moment and hybrid estimation approaches were used to predict the Weibull parameters. For each approach, three fitting methods (maximum likelihood estimator regression (MLER), cumulative distribution function regression (CDFR) and modified CDFR) were employed to obtain estimates for coefficients of regression equations to predict Weibull parameters. Overall results indicated that the Moment Estimation approach was better than the Hybrid approach, and that the CDFR method was superior to the MLER and modified CDFR methods. The combination of Moment Estimation and CDFR is recommended. The models constructed in this study enable the prediction of the diameter distribution of uneven-aged pine-oak mixed forests in the Qinling Mountains based on common stand-level information.
