Abstract:Myrica rubra is a unique and ever-green fruit-tree in China. To explore the ecological stoichiometry of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) in leaves and soil of Myrica rubra under different forest ages, this paper studied the content and stoichiometry of C, N and P in leaves and soil, based on the different age groups of Myrica rubra (3 a, 9 a, 14 a and 21a) in Xianju County, Zhejiang Province. The results indicated that: (1) there was no significant difference in the C and N contents of Myrica rubra in leaves between different forest ages, while the P content in 3-year-old leaves was significantly higher than that in 14- and 21-year-old ones (P<0.05), and the C:P in leaves of 21-year-old of Myrica rubra was significantly higher than that of 3- and 9-year-old groups (P<0.05); (2) with the increase of cultivation ages, the contents of soil organic C, N and P decreased firstly and then increased, the soil organic C content in the treatment group of 3-year-old of Myrica rubra was significantly higher than groups of other ages (P<0.05), and the N and P contents in the soil of 3-year-old group were significantly higher than that of 9-year-old group (P<0.05); (3) there were no significant differences in the ration values of soil C:N, C:P and N:P between different forest age groups, and the nitrogen contents in leaves were positively correlated with the nitrogen content in soil (P<0.05). In conclusion, the limiting element affecting the growth of Myrica rubra is P, so in the process of production, P fertilizer should be properly added.
