Abstract

To study the characteristics of nutrient cycling in degraded Karst forest, 10 dominant species in evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved secondary forest from central Guizhou Karst were researched. The chemical stoichiometry traits were analyzed. The results showed that the mass ratios of C, N, P to litter leaves are ( 497. 88 ± 12. 97) mg/g, ( 12. 19 ± 0. 54) mg/g and ( 0. 89 ± 0. 05) mg/g, respectively.The ratios of m ( C) ∶ m ( N) , m ( C) ∶ m ( P) and m ( N) ∶ m ( P) are 43. 17 ± 2. 07, 620. 03 ± 42. 33 and14. 60 ± 0. 81, respectively. The mass ratios of C and P to litter leaves as well as m ( C) ∶ m ( P) in litter leaves of different life type trees show that evergreen trees species are more than deciduous trees species ( P < 0. 05) .The mass ratio of N and P to litter leaves is positive. Compared with other research results, the mass ratios of C, N, P to litter leaves of various tree species in Karst area shows areal variation. The mass ratios of C, N, P to litter leaves in central Guizhou secondary forest are generally high. The decomposition rate of leaf litter is faster. The N and P elements mineralization are released in proportion to mineralization, and the decomposition of litter leaves is not affected by the mass ratio of organic matter.
