This study aimed to investigate the effect of soil nutrient dynamic with thinning treatment of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica). Soil pH is higher in thinning treatment than that in control. Exchangeable potassium, sodium and calcium are higher in control site. Exchangeable magnesium contents are lower in control than that in thinning treatments. Sum of cations are increased in thinning treatment than that in control, indicating that litter is decomposed and cations release after thinning treatment. Total C and N contents, and C/N ratio do not show any significant difference between thinning treatment and control. However, 13C NMR spectra indicate the cellulous and hemicellulous decomposition is the main process releasing nutrient to soil.
