Abstract: | Through the content analysis of nutrient elements in the soil and in the needle at the different site classes and periods
of growth ofP. koraiensis, and in a single growing season, some conclusions can be drawn below: Most of the soil nutrient elements were higher at the
good sites than at the poor ones in an annual average concentration of them, i.e., site class 1 > site class 2> site class
3. And forP. koraiensis tree at every site class, the nutrient elements in their needles did the same. However, each of the elements in the soil
or in the need was seldom at the same level of concentration on the good or on the poor site during different periods of growth.
There are no an inevitable relationship between the contents of the soil nutrient elements and the needle’s. And whether these
elements are high or low within a tree body may depend on the physiogical requirement of the tree, but not on their contents
in the environment. Some nutrient elements required forP. koraiensis varied with growth periods during a whole growing season. N, P and K, for example, were greatly needed only at the fast growth
period, while Ca at the initial growth period; and on the contrary, Ca was needed less at the fast growth period. In intensive
forest management, therefore, fertilizers with N, P and K should much be applied at the fast growth period, while fertilizer
with Ca at the initial growth period to meet requirements of growth ofP. koraiensis trees. |
