Abstract: Woody debris (WD), mainlyincluding coarse woody debris and fine woody debris, was an important part with a variety of ecological functions in natural Pinus tabulaeformis mixed stands, which cannot be neglected effect on stability and development of the forest ecosystem. In this paper, a permanent sample plot (100 m×100 m) was set up on Huanglong Mountain of Loess Plateau, and conducted the survey and coordinate positioning for each timber based on spatial-temporal method and the point pattern analysis method. The author studied the storage composition, Inter-and interspecies spatial associations, decay characteristics, density and water content dynamics in natural Pinus tabulaeformis mixed stands, and discussed the trend of dominant species distribution, then provided reference for sustainable management of related forest. The results showed that, (1) The total storage of woody debris was 10.73 t·hm-2, with 10.31 t·hm-2 and 0.42 t·hm-2 for the coarse woody debris and the fine woody debris, accounting for 96.09% and 13.91% of the total storage, respectively. The fallen wood was the main source of woody debris. The highest proportion were between 20-30 cm and 30-40 cm in diameter class, which were the absolute advantage in the number of diameter distribution, and the diameter greater than 20 cm accounted the majority of the total storage. According to the decay level, most of woody debris were focused on decay level Ⅱ and Ⅲ (the sum accounted for 69.98% and 73.49%, respectively); (2) Using the Linear model to simulate the decomposition density and water content of woody debris, the fitting results showed that the density of wood debris increased with a decline trend of decomposition level but, it showed the upward trend with the increasing with decay level for the water content; (3) The main species contained Pinus tabulaeformis, Birch and Aspen were changed from negative in small spatial scale to positive association in large spatial scale, and shared the environment resources in the end, so the forest communities had greater stability. The Inter-and interspecies spatial associations of woody debris were the results of long term interactions between the community and the natural environment, the forest ecological environment changed from positive pioneer species adaptation to shade tree species adaptation. The situation of woody debris in this forest reflected the structural characteristics of woody debris in late succession stage of the region, and the results would provide the scientific basis for forest management and ecosystems protection for Huanglong Mountain of Loess Plateau.

Key words: woody debris, storage, composition, water content, decay characteristics
