Abstract

Background: Measures of nutrient availability such as concentrations of Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) are important indicators of terrestrial ecosystems productivity. Current research illustrates the C, N and P stoichiometry of litter and soil in a coastal mixed forest stand, northern Iran. Materials and Methods: To this, the Carpinus betulus (CB), Acer velutinum (AV), Pterocarya fraxinifolia (PF), Quercus castaneifolia (QC) species were considered; litter and soil (0-15cm depth) samples were taken under tree canopy cover. Results: Litter and soil C: N ratio differed among the Tree species, showing the highest (61. 08 and 31. 44) and lowest (21. 90 and 3. 59) under the QC and CB Tree species, respectively. The litter and soil C: P ratio varied among the study sites and ranked in order of QC (52. 4 and 27227. 04) > PF (30 and 1465. 61) > AV (15. 74 and 630. 54) ≈ CB (13. 42 and 566. 28). The higher amounts of litter N: P ratio were significantly found under QC (0. 86) > PF (0. 73) > CB (0. 61) ≈ AV (0. 55), whereas soil N: P ratio were significantly higher under CB (177. 69) > PF (123. 53) ≈ AV (121. 60) > QC (109. 25), respectively. Conclusion: We found the species that differed in traits could influence C, N and P dynamics and its stoichiometry. The Q. castaneifolia species with different root traits that resulted in different vertical and horizontal distributions of C, N and P, reflecting differences in nutrient uptake by plants and microbial dynamics, drove the biggest changes in litter and soil C, N and P.
