Leaf stoichiometry of trees in three forest types in Pearl River Delta, South China
珠江三角洲3种典型森林类型乔木叶片生态化学计量学

Aims Plant or biomass stoichiometry can be used to distinguish biological entities (genes, cells, organisms, etc.) based on element composition. Our objective was to determine the stoichiometry characteristics and examine nutrient limitation in evergreen broad-leaved forest, coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest and coniferous forest. Methods We determined C, N, P stoichiometry of leaves of 19 dominant trees of 16 taxa in three forest types at the Pearl River Delta Forest Ecosystem Research Station, Guan...
