[Vertical variation in stoichiometric relationships of soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in five forest types in the Maoershan region, Northeast China.]

Five forests under diverse site conditions but under identical climate in the Maoershan region of Northeast China were sampled for measuring contents of soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P), soil bulk density, and soil thickness by soil profile horizons. The stands included two plantations (i.e., Pinus koraiensis and Larix gmelinii plantations) and three broadleaved forests (i.e., Quercus mongolica stand, Populus davidiana Betula platyphylla mixed stand, and hardwood stand). Our aim was to examine vertical distribution of the content, density, and stoichio metry of soil C, N and P for the five forest types. The results showed that the contents and densities of soil C, N and P differed significantly among the forest types, with the maxima of the soil C and N at both O and A horizons occurring in the hardwood stand. The contents of C and N decreased significantly with increasing soil depth in all the stands. P content decreased significantly only in the broadleaved stands, and P content had no significant difference among different soil layers in the coniferous stands. The soil C/N at the A horizon, N/P at the O horizon, and the C/P at A and B horizons were significantly different among the forest types. The soil C and N linearly correlated significantly across all the forest types without significant differences in the slopes and intercepts, and the soil N and P, or the soil C and P correlated significantly only in the broadleaved stands. This result suggested that the C-N coupling relationship tended to converge across the forest types, and the N-P and C-P relationships varied with forest types.
