Abstract: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by Pinus armandii were collected by the method of dynamic headspace in Beijing in winter and analyzed by ATD\|GC/MS. The results showed that: 105 kinds of VOCs belonging to 9 classes were identified, 39 kinds of VOCs were the main compositions. Alkene was the main VOCs and alkenes relative concentration was up to 92.12%. Monoterpene like (1R)\|(+)\|α\|pinene, α\|pinene, camphene, (1S)\|(1)\|β\|pinene, β\|pinene, myrcene, D\|limonene and terpinolene were the main alkenes. The total emission rates of monoterpene in winter was 0.68 μg·g-1·h-1, and D\|limoene had the maximum emission rates. Monoterpenes had bactericidal and bacteriostatic action, so the contribution of Pinus armandii to the ecological environment in winter could not be neglected.
