叶凋落物候对落叶树木凋落叶N浓度及N回收的影响 摘要 本文利用凋落物收集法研究了帽儿山天然次生林主要树种的总凋落量及叶凋落物候，并测定分析了凋落叶N浓度的季节动态和N回收效率及其影响因子。结果表明：（1）帽儿山天然次生林的平均总凋落量为466.42 g m-2 yr-1，叶占7%。（2）尽管同为落叶树种，但种间凋落节律相差很大。系统发育（系统分类的科属关系）和生长型（乔木和灌木及藤本）并不直接决定各树种的叶凋落物候。（3）无论是在生态系统水平树种水平凋落叶N浓度凋落高峰时间Effect of leaf fall phenology on the N concentration of leaf litter and N resorption of deciduous trees Abstract The total litter production of the natural secondary forests and the leaf fall phenology of 30 deciduous tree species were investigated based on litter fall collection method. The seasonal dynamics of nitrogen (N) concentration of new leaf litter and the N resorption efficiency (NRE) as well as its impact factors were explored in details. The results indicated that: (1) The mean total litter fall production from 2008 to 2010 was 466.42 g m-2 yr-1, of which 70% was contributed by leaf litter fall; (2) there were great differences of leaf fall rhythm between species, although they were all deciduous trees. The leaf fall phenology of different species was not directly determined by phylogenetic affinity or growth form; (3) whatever at ecosystem level or at species level, N concentration of leaf litter overall declined with collecting time; (4) the difference of NRE between species could be as high as five times. Like the leaf fall phenology, NRE was neither related to phylogenetic affinity nor growth form. However, we found the species with a later peak of leaf shedding tended to have a higher NRE. The NRE was largely determined by the final N concentration (for the last time of litter fall collection), but was not related to the structural traits of leaf litter, specific leaf area. The rhythm of the leaf fall reflects the strategies of the leaf phenology and the nutrient cycling, which plays an important role in determination of the leaf lifespan, the canopy duration, nutrient resporption during the leaf senescence, and the rate of leaf litter decomposition. The results enhanced our knowledge of relationship of leaf fall
