C, N, P Stoichiometric Characteristics of Different Dominant Species in Stipa Breviflora Desert Steppe
[Objective] The life history strategies of dominant species in patches and their responses to nutrient restriction
stoichiometry characterization of dominant species were studied in response to seasonal variation
which was expected to provid a scientific basis for the study of plant population succession and change process.[Methods] 3 typical patches
patch A(Stipa breviflora)
patch B(Stipa breviflora+Astragalus melilotoides)
patch C(Artemisia scoparia+Sophora alopecuroides+Cynanchum komarovii) were recognized and in which the dominated species were sampled
and its total carbon
total nitrogen
and total phosphorus contents were measured. Ratios of C:N
C:P
N:P were calculated and analysis of their variances were conducted. Stepwise linear regression analysis of stoichiometry of the patches was performed.[Results] The results showed that the changes of carbon(C)
nitrogen(N)
phosphorus(P) and their stoichiometry characterization of the dominant species in three patches were different during the growing season
and the seasonal variation characteristics were also different among the three patchesseason. The contents of C among the dominant species
and among the patches as well
had no significant differences. N content of S. breviflora was lower than than the values of other dominant species
which resulted to the significantly smaller level of the N content in patch A. P content of patch A increased along the growing season
while of patch C
it experienced an initial decrease and a succeeding increased. For patch A plants
there was no significant seasonal variation in C:N values
the values of C:P and N:P were significantly higher in spring than those in summer and in autumn. C:N
C:P and N:P values of the dominant species in patches B and C had significant differences. However
the seasonal variation was different:for patch B all values decreased except of C:N value
C:N
C:P and N:P values of patch C all increased first and then decreased.[Conclusion] The C
N
and P contents of three patches showed different correlations
patch A showed a defensive strategy
patch B showed a competitive strategy
while patch C showed a coexistence of competitive and defensive strategies.
