To reveal the characteristics of litter and soil C, N, and P stoichiometry and their main driving factors in the Hulunbuir Sandy Land. Different ages of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica plantation forests and natural forests (medium-mature, near-mature, and mature forests) were used as research subjects to analyze the characteristics of litter and soil C, N, and P stoichiometry and their correlation with soil factors was explored. (1) The degree of decomposition significantly affected litter C, N, P, and the C:N ratio (P0.05). There were significant differences (P<0.05) between natural and plantation forests in litter and soil relating to C and N contents and C:P and N:P ratios. (2) Litter C content was significantly and positively correlated with litter N and P content (P<0.05), and the litter C:P ratio was significantly and positively correlated with the C:N ratio (P<0.05); the soil C:P ratio was significantly and positively correlated with the soil N:P and C:N ratios (P<0.05). (3) The C, N, and P stoichiometric characteristics of litter were mainly significantly affected by pH, phosphatase, and urease (P<0.05), and the soil C, N and P stoichiometric characteristics were mainly significantly affected by pH, phosphatase, and convertase (P<0.05). The growth of P. sylvestris var. mongolica forest in the Hulunbuir Sandy Land may be limited by nitrogen, whereas the decomposition of litter may be limited by phosphorus; the main drivers of litter and soil C, N, and P stoichiometric characteristics were pH and phosphatase, respectively. This improved information is of great significance for guiding the management of P. sylvestris var. mongolica forests.
