Abstract

As an essential structural component of forest ecosystems，coarse woody debris （CWD） plays an important role in a number of aspects of ecosystem functioning. Based on the data from the literature about China forest ecological systems coarse woody debris storage，a preliminary statistical analysis of several sites including Changbai Mountain，Xiaoxinganling Mountain，Qinling，Wuyi Mountain，Dinghu Mountain and Ailao Mountain was conducted. The results indicated a difference between the storages of CWD in Southern and Northern China. In Northern China，CWD storages were ranked as follows：coniferous forest ＞ mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest. In Southern China，CWD storages were ranked as follows：broad-leaved forest ＞ mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest ＞ coniferous forest. The determinants of CWD storages included altitude，stand structure，the average annual rainfall，natural disasters，and human disturbance. Snags and fallen trees were the major contributors to the storage of CWD in the primitive forests in China. The findings can provide reference for the further research on forest ecological systems CWD，and better forest protection and utilization.［Ch，2 fig. 2 tab. 47 ref.］
