%X We employed the six forest types of broad-leaved Korean pine in Xiaoxing'an Mountain, inlcuding the Mongolian oak forest and Korean pine of xerophytic sere, the Mongolian oak maple birch forest and maple birch Korean pine of mesosere and the wetland succession series birch forest and spruce fir forest, to study different successional series space variations, vertical distribution of root biomass and its influence factors by using soil drilling and sampling method. There was the significant difference for total root biomass in the three series of succession(<i>P</i><0.05). The biomass was the highest in the mesosere, with an average of 8.56 t&#183;hm<sup>-2</sup>, followed by the xerophytes of 8.18 t&#183;hm<sup>-2</sup>, and th
