Abstract: Correlation between iorest litter and soil macroanimals is studied with coniferous broad-leaved mixed forest and deciduous broad-leaved forest as an example. The results show that the individual number of soil macroanimals in forest litter varies with forest type and thickness and amount of litter. The decomposition rate of litter affects the species composition of soil macroanimals and their distribution. The content of mineral element in litter is well associated with that in soll macroanimals in litter decomposition is revealed, which provides a scientific foundation for forest management and preservation.

Key words: Forest litter, Soil macroanimal, Vineral element, Microelement
