Abstract

An investigation was made on the coarse woody debris ( CWD) in burned forestlands in Huzhong area of Great Xing' an Mountains. The loading capacity of CWD in the burned forestlands was 24. 9-181. 0 m³ hm^-2, among which, snag and log occupied 24. 3%-85. 9% and 14. 0%- 75.1%, being 6. 0-93. 9 m³ hm^-2 and 15. 3-138. 4 m³ hm ^-2, respectively. Significant differences were observed among burned forestlands and among years. The predominant DBH class of snag and log was 2. 5-20 cm and 1. 5-15 m, and the height of most snags and logs was 2. 5-15 m and 5-20 cm, respectively. The loading capacity of CWD had no obvious change with the recovery of forest vegetation. The characteristics of CWD had a close relationship with pre-fire forest stand conditions and burn intensity.
