Stoichiometric Characteristics of the Litter-Soil Continuum in Sand Fixation Forest of the Mu Us Sandy Land
and P contents and ecological stoichiometric ratios along the litter-soil continuum during the restoration of sand-fixing forests
artificial shrub and arbor stands with 25-56 years restoration in the Mu Us sandy land of Yulin were taken as the study object
we measured and analyzed the dynamics of carbon (C)
nitrogen (N)
phosphorus (P) contents
and their stoichiometric ratios along the restoration years and continuum profiles in semi-fixed sandy sites
from the litter layer to the humus layer and then to the mineral soil layer. The results showed that the C
N
and P contents and their stoichiometry in the two types of woodland at different restoration years were all in the litter layer > humus layer > mineral soil layer. However
the C content of the litter
humus and mineral soil layers increased significantly with the extension of the restoration period
with an average increase of 1.76
35.70
and 6.45 times compared with that of the semi-fixed sandy land at 56 years; the P content increased significantly in the humus and mineral soil layers
with an average increase of 1.67 and 2.11 times
respectively; the N content increased significantly only in the mineral soil layer
with an average increase of 4.16 times. The change in stoichiometry of the two woodlands showed a significant increase in C∶N in the humus layer with the increase of restoration years
with an average increase of 18.6 times compared with the semi-fixed sandy land at 56 years; N∶P increased significantly only in the shrub continuum; C∶P did not change significantly. Correlation analysis showed that the C content of all layers in the two woodland continuums reached a highly significant positive correlation
and the C of the mineral soil layer was also highly significantly positively correlated with N and P. The C∶N and C∶P of the humus layer were highly significantly positively correlated with the C∶P of the mineral soil layer. In conclusion
the C content of the litter-soil continuum increased synergistically during the vegetation restoration process in Yulin Mu Us sandy land
while the N and P contents increased significantly only in the mineral soil layer
and C∶P was a relatively balanced and stable stoichiometric feature in the continuum.
