Leaf resorption efficiency and relating to foliar and soil nutrient status of Chinese fir plantations in South ChinaLili Zhou, Xiangqing Ma *, Pengfei WuFujian Agriculture and Forestry University (FAFU), Forestry CollegeOctober, 20151 OutlineBackground1Materials and methods2Results3Discussion4Conclusion5BackgroundWhy is this study carried out?Nutrient resorption before leaf abscission is an important nutrient conservation mechanism used by perennial plants respond to changes in nutrient availability.Resorption efficiency (RE) is defined as the percentage of nutrient concentration between senesced and green leaves.Globally, nutrient resorption is estimated to provide 31% of the annual demand for plant N and 40% for P.SenescedWhy is this study carried out?Nutrient RE varied among species, ecosystems, plant life-forms, functional types and biomes.In recent times, many studies reported that the resorption process could be regulated by leaf nutrient status and soil nutrient availability.However, there are not consistent results on how the nutrient in leaf and soil affect the Nutrient RE.SenescedWhy is this study carried out?Chinese fir and site characteristics :Less litterfall and less nutrient returnFast growing and great nutrient requirementDecline in soil fertilitySuccessive cropping and short rotation Standing wood volume of the second and third rotations declined 30-40% and 45-50% Why is this study carried out?In Chinese fir plantations, the decline in soil fertility cant maintain the fast growing and great nutrient requirement.So, we hypothesize 1) Chinese fir species may develop conservation strategies through great nutrient resorption from senesced leaves. 2) leaf or soil nutrient concentration and stoichiometric may affect the nutrient resorption process.Materials and methodsStudy siteYoung stageOver-mature stageMature stage(26°10′ N, 117°27′E)Study siteMid-subtropical marine monsoonAnnual average temperature of 19°CAnnual average rainfall of 1749 mmAverage a
