文摘

The effects of elevated carbon dioxide (CO₂) and nitrogen (N) addition on foliar N and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry were investigated in five native tree species (four non-N₂ fixers and one N₂ fixer) in open-top chambers in southern China from 2005 to 2009. The high foliar N:P ratios induced by high foliar N and low foliar P indicate that plants may be more limited by P than by N. The changes in foliar N:P ratios were largely determined by P dynamics rather than N under both elevated CO₂ and N addition. Foliar N:P ratios in the non-N₂ fixers showed some negative responses to elevated CO₂, while N addition reduced foliar N:P ratios in the N₂ fixer. The results suggest that N addition would facilitate the N₂ fixer rather than the non-N₂ fixers to regulate the stoichiometric balance under elevated CO₂.
