Four subtropical forests with similar site conditions in the hilly area of Dashanchong Forest Park in central Hunan Province of China were selected to compare the existing litter biomass and its carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage. The litters were collected in the peak time of litterfall. Among the four forests, Cyclobalanopsis glauca-Lithocarpus glaber mixed forest had the highest litter biomass (12.04±3.60 t·hm-2), followed by Pinus massonianaL. glaber mixed forest (11.65±2.15 t·hm-2), Choerospondias axillaris...
