Abstract: Investigations on animal and entomogenous fungus in pure Masson pine stands show that the species numbers of phytophagous, predatory, parasitic and spider groups are 51, 12, 7 and 26%, respectively. The ratio of beneficial to harmful organism individuals is about 1∶10. Within 2 similar stands or layers, the family and species numbers are equal to or close to each other. Their dominant orders are similar. The fluctuations of species or individual numbers of phytophagcus, predatory, parasitic and spider groups are almost the same within the stands and layers. Principal component analysis indicates that in1 anniversary year, the community is in a state of circulating succession of "preparing overwintering inlate autumn→hibernation→resuscitation in early spring→flourishing during spring, summer and early autumn". The stability and the self adjusting potential of the community are quite strong.
