The aboveground biomass and nutrient content (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) of Pinus koraiensis S. et Z., aged 9, 22, 34, 46, 66 years, were measured in the Experiment Forest of Kangwon National University of Kangwondo province. The site index of the stands ranged from 13.5 to 14.2. Allometric equations (logY=alogX+b, where Y, X is ovendry mass and DBH, respectively) relating dry weights of stem, branches and needles to diameter at breast height (DBH) were developed to estimate aboveground tree biomass. Total above ground tree biomass increased with stand age from 21.8 t ㏊^(-1) in the 9-year-old stand to 130 t ㏊^(-1) in the 66-Year-old stand. Aboveground biomass was allocated as follows : stem$gt; branch $gt; foliage, except for the 9-year-old stand which ㏊d a greater proportion of foliage biomass t㏊n branch biomass. As stand age increased, an increasing proportion of annual biomass increment was allocated to stems. The aboveground biomass of shrubs and herbs ranged from 0.4 to 3.9 t ㏊^(-1) and from 0.05 to 0.6 t ㏊^(-1), respectively. No relationship was found between aboveground understory biomass and stand age. The mass of woody debris and forest floor varied between 0.59 to 1.54 t ㏊^(-1) and 6.0 to 21.63 t ㏊^(-1), respectively. Nutrient accumulation in aboveground tree biomass increased with stand age and was in the order of N $gt; Ca $gt; K $gt; P $gt; Mg. Average rates of nutrients accumulation in biomass were greatest in the early stages of stand development, and less marked as stand aged. The nutrient concentrations in different tree components decreased in the order of needle $gt; branch $gt; stem. There were no detectable trends in nutrient content of the forest floor and mineral soils with stand age. Understory vegetation contributed little to the nutrient pool of these Korean pine ecosystems. Mineral soil contained the Breast proportion of nutrient capital of the various ecosystem compartments.
