Abstract:
This paper reports the stoichiometry of carbon∶nitrogen∶phosphorus (C∶N∶P) in four age groups of Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. (also called Chinese pine) forest (artificial young forest, AY; artificial middle-aged forest, AM; natural young forest, NY; natural middle-aged forest, NM) in Shanxi Province, China. The results revealed the followings: (1) The mass-based average C∶N∶P ratios of tree species (shrubs, herbs, litter, soil depth of 100 cm) for the four forest types were 276∶8∶1 in AY, 283∶8∶1 in AM, 458∶12∶1 in NY, and 362∶11∶1 in NM. (2) Regardless of forest ages, the C∶N and C∶P ratios decreased in the order, litter > leaves > soil. The C∶N and C∶P ratios were both greater in the litter and leaves of young forest trees than in the litter and leaves of middle-aged forest trees, and greater in the soil of middle-aged forest than in the soil of young forest. The N∶P ratio was greater in leaves than in litter, and greater in litter than in the soil, and showed variation according to stand ages. For all the species in the forests, the N∶P ratio was consistently less than 14, suggesting that there was N limitation. (3) The C∶P ratio for the leaves of plants growing in the four forest types decreased in the order, arbor leaf > herb leaf > shrub leaf. (4) The C∶N ratio decreased with the increase of soil depth, whereas both the C∶P and N∶P ratios did not show a consistent variation trend along soil depth. (5) The foliar C∶N∶P stoichiometry of plants in the forests did not exhibit a consistent variation trend with stand ages.
