- Abstract:
-
To understand the characteristics of soil ecological stoichiometry and the relationships between soil depth and soil ecological stoichiometry in Robinia pseudoacacia plantation with 9 year, 17 year, 30 year age, respectively, in the loess hilly region, the field investigations and laboratory analyses were carried out to study the soil ecological stoichiometry characteristics and its relationship with soil depth. The results showed that: (1) with the growth of Robinia pseudoacacia plantation, the contents of the carbon (C), nitrogen (N) increased and a significant positive correlation between them existed; and the contents of the phosphorus (P) increased first and then decreased, and the soil P elements should be supplemented in the later growth years; The content of potassium (K) decreased with the growth of Robinia pseudoacacia plantation; (2) the contents of soil C and N decreased with the increase of soil depth and had a significant negative correlation with soil depth; P content evenly distributed throughout the soil, with little change in soil profile; K content increased with the increase of soil depth, and had a significant positive correlation with soil depth; (3) the soil C:N, C:P, C:K, N:P, N:K, and P:K all showed the increasing trend with the increase of years; in the 0—100 cm soil layer, the soil C:N had a narrow range of 8.52 to 8.96; C:P, C:K, N:P and N:K gradually decreased and then tended to be stable with the increase of soil depth. These results can provide the basis for the judgment of nutrient limiting elements and the balance regulation mechanism of plantation ecosystem in the loess hilly region.
