Abstract: To study the dynamics of soil animals during the decomposition of Korea pine stump, a broadleavedKorean pine mixed forest after selective cutting was selected , and soil samples were collected in a 14-year span, with different size soil animals identified and counted. The results showed that the groups and numbers of soil animals increased with increasing decomp-osition duration, being the maximum in the 10th year, but decreased with increasing depth of the stump in soil, few of them being found at the bottom of the stump.
