[Objective] The surface soil characteristics of different vegetation types of ancient block stream-periglacial landform at mountain areas in Eastern Liaoning Province were studied to provide basic data and scientific basis for the management and protection of soil ecological environment of the periglacial landforms. [Methods] Quantitative characteristics of soil environment under different vegetation types in the periglacial area of Laotudingzi Mt., including broadleaved deciduous forest, mixed broadleaf-conifer forest, dark coniferous forest and shrub-grassland were studied by means of field survey and laboratory analysis. [Results] In the periglacial area, the investigated soils all belong to acid leached soil, containing a variety of oxides. Significant differences in soil properties among different vegetation types existed: in comparison, meadow thicket soil surface temperature is higher, the proportion of capillary pores is larger, and the water storage capacity is stronger. Theropencedrymion soil specific gravity is smaller, loose degree is better, soil organic matter content is higher. Dark coniferous forest soil acidity is stronger. There are more litters in deciduous broad-leaved forest and theropencedrymion, soil moisture conducive to plant growth, water conservation and soil and water conservation function is better. [Conclusion] Altitude had significant effects on soil properties, and there was a clear quantitative relationship between soil properties, and litter stock and nutrient reserves. The preservation of that area can maintain the habitat stability of soil nutrition.
