The comparative study on the diameter, number, volume, height and decay class distribution of coarse woody debris (CWD) at different elevations in Tianbaoyan national nature reserve was conducted. The results were as follows: (1) Tsuga longibracteata forest was mainly composed of small-diameter-class CWD at different elevations, the number and volume of CWD decreased with the increase of diameter; (2) the elevation significantly affected the number of fallen trees (df=2,P=0.006), the number of fallen trees decreased with the increase of the elevation, while the snags, amount increased with the increase of the elevation; (3) CWD was mainly distributed in 0 -5 m, and the number increased with the decrease of elevation; (4) the decay class significantly affected the number of CWD (df=4,P=0.033).%对天宝岩国家级自然保护区不同海拔长苞铁杉林粗死木质残体(coarse woody debris,CWD)的直径、数量、体积、高度及腐烂等级的分布特征进行对比研究.结果表明:(1)不同海拔的CWD主要分布在0-20 cm的小径级范围,数量和体积随径级的增加呈下降趋势；(2)海拔对倒木数量分布有极显著影响(df＝2,P＝0.006),倒木的数量随海拔上升而减少；枯立木的数量、体积随海拔的上升而增加；(3)不同海拔CWD主要分布在0-5m高度级,且此高度级内CWD的数量分布随海拔的下降而增加；(4)倒木数量在不同腐烂等级上的分布差异显著(df＝4,P＝0.033).
