Abstract: The soil saturated water content, soil water permeability and the soil water content dynamic process under six forest types (Pinus koraiensis plantation, Fraxinus mandshurica-Populus davidiana forest, Fraxinus mandshurica- Larix olgensis forest, Tilia mandshurica forest Quercus monglica forest and Juglans mandshurica forest) beside Songhua River were measured in the sample forests and experiment room during May to September 2006. The soil saturated water contents under six forest types were from 2693.50 t/hm2 to 3184.31 t/hm2, the biggest value occurred under Fraxinus mandshurica-Populus davidiana forest, and the smallest value occurred under Quercus monglica forest. The initial permeability coefficient and stable permeability coefficient of the various soil layers under six forest types were bigger than that of bare land, and the biggest value occurred under Tilia mandshurica forest. The soil water content under six forest types had the same change tendency during growth season that was, high-low-high-low in May-June-July and August-September. The results would provide the theories basis for the forest management beside Songhua River.

Abstract: The dynamics of the litter and soil organic matter content of four densities (A: 2500/hm²，B:3300/hm²，C:4400/hm²，D:6600/hm²) of hybrid Larch plantations were studied in Jiangshanjiao forest farm of Heilongjiang province of China. (1) The annual litter stock under the hybrid Larch plantation was 4634.6 ~ 5453.4 kg/hm², and the decreased order of the annual litter stock was under density of 4400, 3300 2500and 6600 trees per hectare. The decrease order of the litter stock no matter undecomposition and decomposition litter was under density of 3300, 4400, 2500 and 6600 trees per hectare, and the rate of the undecomposition litter stock to total litter stock was bigger than 50 %. (2) The seasonal dynamic of the soil organic matter under different densities of plantations basically had the same principle. In 0~10 cm soil layer, the soil organic matter was higher in June and August, was lower in May and July, and was flat or increased slightly in September, but was decreased in September under the plantations with density 4400 and 3300 trees per hectare. The soil organic matter in 10~20 cm and 20~40 cm layer had the same change principle, but the change range was flat and smooth. For the same density of plantation, the difference of the organic matter in the same soil layer between the different months was significantly (P < 0.05). (3) The difference of the soil organic matter content in the same soil layer under different densities of hybrid Larch plantation was significantly, and the decreased order of the soil organic matter in average was under density 4400, 3300, 6600 and 2500 trees per hectare. The results would provide the theories basis for manage the hybrid Larch plantations.

Abstract: The soil physical and chemical properties of four densities (A:2500/hm²，B:3300/hm²，C:4400/hm²，D:6600/hm2) of hybrid Larch plantations, Larix olgensis plantation(E) and Quercus mandsurica forest(F) were studied in Jiangshanjiao forest farm of Heilongjiang province of China. Soil bulk density, soil porosity, total N, total P, available N and available P were affected significantly by plantation density in hybrid Larch plantations. The lowest surface soil bulk density was in density 2500/hm². Soil porosity of density 2500/hm² and 3300/hm² was bigger than that of density 4400/hm² and density 6600/hm². Total N, total P and available N of density 4400/hm² and 3300/hm² were higher than that of density 6600/hm² and density 2500/hm². Total N, total P, available N and available P of hybrid Larch plantations were not lower than that of Larix olgensis plantation. The results of the soil physical and chemical properties under different densities of hybrid Larch plantations and different types of forest seems to confirm that hybrid Larch plantation did not decreased the soil fertility, and the hybrid Larch plantation with densities of 3300/hm² and 4400/hm² could be conductive to improving the soil quality. The results would provide the theories basis for manage the hybrid Larch plantations.

Abstract: The effects of four management measures (A: All broad-leaved trees and shrubs were cut, B: All broad-leaved trees were cut, C: All shrubs were cut, D: Partial upper broad-leaved trees were cut uniform.) of Pinus koraiensis plantations on the soil properties were studied in National Natural Reserve located in Lesser Xingan Mountains. Litter mass, soil organic matter mass, soil physical properties, soil chemical properties and microbial characteristics were affected significantly by management activities in the Pinus koraiensis plantations no matter what kind of management measures. The rate of undecomposed layer was bigger than 50% in measure A and measure B, and smaller than 50% in measure C and measure D. The lowest surface soil bulk density was in measure C and D. Soil organic matter mass of measure C and D was bigger than that of measure A and B. In the upper soil layer, the nutrient of measure C and D was higher than that of measure A and B. The totoal number of bacterium, fungi and actinomycetes was the bigger in measure C and D, and the smaller in measure A and B. The rusults of the soil properties under different management measures seems to confirm that increasing the degree of close-to-nature forest management could be conductive to improve the soil quality of Pinus koraiensis plantation.
