Abstract: From July to September 2008, a measurement was made on the physical an
d chemical properties of bulk precipitation and throughfall in five main forest
types, i.e., larch plantation (LP), Fraxinus rhynchophylla stand (FR), mixed for
est stand (MF), Korean pine plantation (KP), and Mongolian oak stand (MO), of se
condary forest ecosystem in montane regions of eastern Liaoning Province, China.
 Comparing with bulk precipitation, the throughfall in the five forest types was
 significantly acidified (P＜005), and the acidification degree was in the
 order of KP>LP>MF>MO>FR. The conductivity and total dissolved solids of the
throughfall increased significantly (P＜005), and were in the sequence of
MO>FR>LP>MF>KP. The dissolved oxygen  concentration of the throughfall lowere
d significantly (P＜005), with the rank of KP>MF>FR>MO>LP, while the Cl-
 concentration increased significantly, ranked as LP>MO>MF>FR>KP. The NO3- c
oncentrations of the throughfall in FR, MO and MF were higher, while those in LP
 and KP were lower than that of the bulk precipitation.
