Abstract:The concentrations and ratios of plants C, N, and P serve as important indicators of ecological processes. However, how plant and soil C:N:P relationships and ratios change with forest stand types remain unclear. Here, we analyzed the ecological stoichiometric characteristics by measuring leaf and soil organic C, total N, and P contents in four stand types in Liaocheng, including Populus tomentosa Carrière pure forest, Populus tomentosa–Robinia pseudoacacia L. mixture forests, Platanus orientalis L. pure fores… Show more
