摘要:This study investigated the ecological stoichiom etry of soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in low h illy areas. Cultivated land areas in Tang- xian County that had been reclaimed for different lengths of tim e were chosen, and sample plots were selected. The distribution characteristics of soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN ) and total phosphorus (TP) and the stoichiom etric ratios (C:N, C:P and N:P) in the study area were investigated. A fter six years of reclam ation (6a), the nutrient content in the 0-20 cm soil layer was significantly higher than that in the 20-40 cm soil layer. The SOC and TN contents increased w ith reclamation time, whereas the TP content fluctuated. W ith increasing reclamation tim e, the C:N ratio in the soil first increased and then decreased before increasing again. The C:P and N:P ratios in the soil both in itia lly increased and then decreased, reaching a maximum at 15a. The soil TN was significantly positively correlated w ith the SOC content and the C:P ratio, and SOC was positively correlated w ith the N:P ratio (P<0.01). The soil sand content showed an extremely significant negative correlation w ith the N:P ratio (P<0.01) and a significant negative correlation w ith the C:P ratio. The soil clay content was positively correlated w ith the N:P ratio. The results can serve as a reference for the balance and cycling of soil C, N and P, ecological restoration, soil fertilization and agricultural production in low h illy areas w ith sim ilar ecological characteristics.
