主 题:nebkhas ecological stoichiometry ecological adaptability successional stages arid area
摘 要:Nitraria tangutorum nebkhas are widely distributed in the arid and semi-arid desert areas of *** formation and development of *** nebkhas are the result of the interaction between vegetation and the surrounding environment in the process of community *** successional stages of *** nebkhas result in differences in the community structure and composition,thereby strongly affecting the distribution of soil nutrients and ecosystem ***,the ecological stoichiometry of *** nebkhas in different successional stages remains poorly *** the stoichiometric homeostasis of *** could provide insights into its adaptability to the arid and semi-arid desert ***,we analyzed the stoichiometric characteristics of *** in four successional stages,i.e.,rudimental,developing,stabilizing,and degrading stages using a homeostasis model in an oasis-desert ecotone of Northwest *** results showed that soil organic carbon(SOC),total nitrogen(TN),and total phosphorus(TP)contents and their ratios in the 0-100 cm soil depth were significantly lower than the averages at regional and global scales and were weakly influenced by successional stages in the oasis-desert *** and TP contents and C:N:P in the soil showed similar *** carbon(TC)and TN contents in leaves were 450.69-481.07 and 19.72-29.35 g/kg,respectively,indicating that leaves of *** shrubs had a high storage capacity for C and *** TC and TN contents and N:P ratio increased from the rudimental stage to the stabilizing stage and then decreased in the degrading stage,while the reverse trend was found for leaf C:*** TP content decreased from the rudimental stage to the degrading stage and changed significantly in late successional stages.N:P ratio was above the theoretical limit of 14,indicating that the growth of *** shrubs was limited by P during successional *** N,P,and N
