    Abstract
  • The sample plot is located in the Experimental Center of Tropical Forestry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, the southwest of Guangxi, China. In a typical southern subtropical monsoon climate, the annual temperature of this area averages at 21 ℃ with the lowest average at 12.5 ℃ in January and the highest at 27 ℃ in July. The average annual precipitation is between 1,200 to 1,500 mm, and shows obvious seasonality with the wet season from April to September and the dry season from October to March in the following year. The area is characterized by a typical landform with peak-cluster depression at the elevation ranging from 150 to 800 m. The main soil type in this area is red soil developed from carbonatite.Taking the leaf litter of 24 tree species with different mycorrhizal types (respective eight species for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, ectomycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixers) as the research object, we measured the chemical properties of leaf litter (non-structure carbohydrate, water-soluble carbon, lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose and tannin) and nutrient concentration (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Mn), analyzed the relationships of these properties, and explored the effects of different mycorrhizal types on the chemical properties. The results indicate that the chemical properties of leaf litter exhibited a fair degree of variation in carbon-related properties, nutrient contents and stoichiometric properties. There were no significant differences in carbon-related chemical properties among tree species with different mycorrhizal types (P>0.05). However, the nutrient content (N, P and Mg) and stoichiometry properties of leaf litter (C/P and N/P) were significantly different among mycorrhizal types. Nitrogen-fixer trees showed a significantly higher leaf litter N (16.1 g·kg−1) than the trees with arbuscular mycorrhizal (10.1 g·kg−1) and ectomycorrhizal fungi (10.7 g·kg−1). However, tree species with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (0.4 g·kg−1) exhibited a significantly higher P concentration than the trees with ectomycorrhizal fungi (0.1 g·kg−1) and N-fixer (0.08 g·kg−1) trees. The concentration of Mg (0.51 g·kg−1) in the tree species with ectomycorrhizal fungi was significantly higher than the trees with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (0.19 g·kg−1) and N-fixer trees (0.03 g·kg−1). In addition, the C/P and N/P of N-fixer trees were significantly higher than the tree species with arbuscular. Hence the differences in the chemical properties of leaf litter among different mycorrhizal types should be considered during the restoration of degraded ecosystems, and appropriate tree species for restoration will be selected according to the strategies of nutrient utilization.
