Ecological stoichiometry assessment provides insight into the interactions between foliar-litter-soil dynamics among dominant tree species and facilitates their conservation. However, little research has been carried out on such trends within mixed forest ecosystems in national nature reserves globally. The present study fills this knowledge gap by examining ecological of at various altitudes desirable southern China. This concentrates six representative plant communities, each pivotal maintaining carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) balances, along with energy flows. selected communities encompass two plantations comprising Cunninghamia lanceolata Phyllostachys edulis four natural forests, including evergreen broad-leaved (Manglietia conifera), deciduous (Daphniphyllum macropodum Acer davidii), consisting Fagus longipetiolata, coniferous (Tsuga chinensis). Furthermore, involved measurement C, N, P, K contents foliage, litter, soil. outcomes revealed significant variations foliar, soil stoichiometric attributes across communities. Correlation analysis highlighted substantial positive associations N P foliar litter components, while exhibited insignificance. Broad-leaved forests generally displayed higher leaf compared to forests. exceptions observed content M. conifera D. F. longipetiolata. high-altitude T. chinensis one highest ratios. Notably, demonstrated richness but deficiency K, impacting growth limiting availability. Additionally, low hindered decomposition. nutrient ratios other nutrients remained relatively stable except for C: which were consistent homeostasis theory.

Positive feedback is key to producing alternative stable states and largely determines ecological resilience in response external perturbations. Understanding the positive mechanisms macrophyte-dominated lakes crucial for resilience-based management restoration. Based on field investigation of submerged macrophyte communities 35 China, we found that morphological complexity (MC) plasticity (MP) are correlated with stoichiometric homeostasis phosphorus (HP ) related ecosystem structure, functioning, stability. We also strength dominated by macrophytes biomass- diversity-dependent. Eutrophication can decrease community biomass decreasing MC, MP, HP species diversity through low-light availability, ultimately clear water states. argue functional traits should be considered build more resilient ecosystems future changing environment scenarios.

Abstract Ecological stoichiometry is an important approach to understand plant nutrient cycling and balance in the forest ecosystem. However, understanding of stoichiometric patterns through leaf‐litter‐soil system Mongolian pine among different stand origins still scarce. Therefore, reveal variations carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) homeostasis origins, we measured C, N, P concentrations leaves, litter, soil, analyzed resorption efficiencies leaves differently aged plantations natural forests from semi‐arid dry sub‐humid regions. The results showed that (1) origin had a significant effect on C–N–P stoichiometry, also significantly affected leaf N reabsorption efficiencies. Leaf N/P ratios indicated was co‐limited by NF, HB HQ, mainly limited MU. (2) With increasing age, C initially increased then decreased, were gradually increased. Overall, age concentrations, C/N C/P system. (3) elements between strong coupling relationship, element litter‐soil relationship. In addition, exhibited greater than forests, alone, which may be utilization strategy for alleviate or limitation.

The Loess Plateau region of China suffers from severe soil erosion, and the selection effective slope-protection vegetation is essential to prevent water loss. This study focused on individual plants common species in Plateau, such as Caragana korshinski Kom., Hippophae rhamnoides Linn., Pinus tabuliformis Carr., Robinia Pseudoacacia Populus tomentosa Prunus armeniaca Lam. root spatial distribution, geometric morphology, fractal characteristics these were measured using whole-root-excavation method, vertical pull-out force their systems was quantified situ whole-plant root-pulling method. results showed that H. dominates distribution its system through a larger number inclined roots. C. korshinskii, P. tomentosa, R. pseudoacacia, dominate horizontal greater tabuliformis, other hand, achieves relatively balanced both spaces well-developed taproot numerous lateral In terms morphology systems, korshinskii exhibit fine roots complex branching, resulting higher total-root length, surface area, dimension. soil-stabilizing ability rhamnoides, pseudoacacia stronger, mainly influenced by quantity, can be prioritized typical for conservation construction vegetation. From perspective slope stabilization alone, we strongly recommend planting shrub Chinese Plateau.
