To investigate the differences of nutrient status and carbon (C) sequestration capacity between mixed forests and pure forests
the pure forests of Robinia pseudoacacia
pure forests of Pinus tabuliformis
mixed forests of Robinia pseudoacacia and Pinus tabuliformis
and mixed forests of Robinia pseudoacacia and Populus davidiana
located in Loess Hilly and gully region of China
were taken as the objects. Through the field investigation and indoor analysis
the ecological stoichiometry and C storage of the pure and mixed forests ecosystems were studied. The results showed that:(1) Compared with the pure forests
the mixed forests of Robinia pseudoacacia and Pinus tabuliformis significantly increased the C contents of branches and roots
the phosphorus (P) contents of leaves and trunks
the C:P and N:P ratio of branches of Robinia pseudoacacia species
and also significantly increased the nitrogen (N) contents of leaves
branches and roots and the N:P ratio of branches
trunks and roots of Pinus tabuliformis species
but significantly decreased the C:N ratio of all organs of Pinus tabuliformis species
while the mixed forests of Robinia pseudoacacia and Populus davidiana only significantly increased the P content of branches of Robinia pseudoacacia. (2) The content of soil C in the mixed forests of Robinia pseudoacacia and Pinus tabuliformis was significantly higher than that of the pure Robinia pseudoacacia forests
and the content of soil P was significantly lower than that of the pure Pinus tabuliformis forests. The differences of P in the soils between the mixed forests of Robinia pseudoacacia and Populus davidiana and the pure forests of Robinia pseudoacacia were not significant. (3) There was a significant correlation between the leaf and litter C contents in two pure forests. And the C:N
C:P ratios of the total pure forests were significantly correlated between tree leaf-litter-soil; but in total mixed forests
only P contents in litter and soil were significantly correlated with C:P ratio. (4) The C storage in tree layer of mixed forests of Robinia pseudoacacia and Populus davidiana was significantly higher than that of the pure Robinia pseudoacacia forests
and the C storage in understory vegetation layer and soil layer of mixed forests of Robinia pseudoacacia and Pinus tabuliformis was significantly higher than those in the pure Robinia pseudoacacia forests. This study could not only lay a foundation for an in-depth understanding of the nutrient cycle mechanism in the Loess Plateau
but also provide a theoretical basis for the management of plantation in the Loess Plateau.
