Plant leaf stoichiometry reflect its adaptations to environments. Leaf stoichiometry variations across different environments have been extensively studied among grassland plants, but little is known about intraspecific leaf stoichiometry, especially for widely distributed species, such as Stellera chamaejasme L. In order to evaluate the biogeographical drivers for leaf elemental stoichiometry in S. chamaejasme, leaf and soil samples were collected from 29 invaded sites in the two plateaus of distinct environments [the Inner Mongolian Plateau (IM) and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QT)] in Northern China. Leaf C, N, P, and K and their stoichiometric ratios, and soil physicochemical properties were determined. Results showed that mean leaf C, N, P, and K concentrations were 498.60, 19.95, 2.15, and 6.57 g kg-1, respectively; the C/N, C/P, and N/P ratios were 25.46, 246.22, and 9.84, respectively. Only leaf K was significantly different between the two environments studied. Soil physicochemical properties of S. chamaejasme invaded area varied wildly, suggesting this wide ranging species tend to be insensitive to variation in soil nutrient availability. C and N content of S. chamaejasme leaves were unaffected by any environmental factors. However, the stoichiometric homeostasis of P and K was observed. The correlation between leaf P and climate factors was significant only in IM, while leaf K was significantly related to climate factors only in QT. Partial least squares path modeling suggested that soil exerted a significant effect on LP and climate affected leaf P and K both directly and indirectly in QT, while LP appeared to be limited mainly by climatic factors via direct ways and LK was not affected significantly by any environmental factors in IM. This study evaluated the S. chamaejasme leaf elemental stoichiometry and their relationships with environmental variables, which can help understand the plant biogeographic patterns and adaption strategy in degraded grasslands in China.
