Abstract： This study focused on the natural Juniperus rigida population in the loess hilly region of InnerMongolia. The structure and dynamic changes of the population were analyzed using a static life table, survivalfunction, dynamic quantitative analysis, and time series model. The results showed that the population mainlycomprised many individual seedlings, followed by medium and less mature trees. Combined with the dynamicchange index Vpi > 0, the population was a growth type. The survival curve was verified using the curve modeland tended to Deevey-II, indicating that the mortality rate of each age class was stable. Considering the externalinterference, the dynamic index tended to 0, and the population growth is not obvious under the interferencecondition. In the survival function analysis, the population showed a strong survival trend in the early stage,followed by a gradual decline in the middle stage. During the 2-to-8-year period, the number of seedlingsdecreased while middle- aged and adult trees increased. The seedling stage is crucial to the regeneration anddevelopment of the population. Therefore, implementing scientific protection measures for seedlings to promotepopulation regeneration is recommended. Research on the internal mechanisms of the Juniperus rigidapopulation can enrich vegetation construction in arid areas, provide a reference for population management, andprovide a theoretical basis for vegetation protection and restoration in the loess hilly area.
