Lianas play a crucial role in forest species diversity, biomass, nutrient cycling, and vegetation restoration. To date, numerous studies on the stoichiometric characteristics of liana leaves have predominantly focused temperate, subtropical, tropical forests. However, there remains lack comprehensive understanding regarding concentrations their lianas growing rocky desertification habitats. In present study, we investigated six leaf three ratios across 20 various subtropical The results indicated that habitats with severe exhibited significantly higher potassium compared to those moderate desertification. Within characterized by desertification, were notable positive correlations observed between nitrogen, phosphorus, leaves. phosphorus demonstrated significant both magnesium potassium. Principal component analysis further revealed severely desertified tended possess calcium, whereas moderately an opposite trend. findings this research provide theoretical insights can guide restoration efforts different regions.
