Abstract:With poplar-birch stand and Larch-birch stand in Changbai Mountain, we studied two stands in three kinds of thinning intensity decomposition of forest litter accumulation and features, soil physical properties and change regularity of nutrient elements, and litter and soil carbon density and their relationships with the thinning intensity. Under different thinning intensity, there were significant differences in poplarbirch stand and larchbirch stand litter accumulation and decomposition rate. Litter nutrient content had a lower trend with the increase of thinning intensity. Litter carbon content increased with the increase of thinning intensity. Soil pH increased with the increase of thinning intensity obviously. Thinning affected the soil bulk density and the water content rate less. The soil carbon content reduced, and then increased with the increase of thinning intensity. The soil carbon density decreased with the increase of thinning intensity. Therefore, thinning is the main factors on litter decomposition and soil carbon accumulation.
