Abstract: Based on the analysis of three forest communities (polar-birch secondary forest, sprucefir mixed forest, sprucefir near pristine forest) in Changbai Mountains, a total of 22 factors of 5 indices, including the population regeneration, soil fertility (soil moisture and soli nutrient), woodland productivity and species diversity that reflected community characteristics were used to evaluate the stability of forest community succession at different stages by calculating subordinate function values of a model based on fuzzy mathematics. The results that the indices of population regeneration, soli nutrient, woodland productivity and species diversity were the highest in the sprucefir mixed forest, and the indices of soil moisture were the highest in the sprucefir nearpristine forest. The stability of three forest communities was in order of  natural sprucefir mixed forest > sprucefir near pristine forest > polarbirch secondary forest.
