Abstract:
      In order to explore the effects of returning paddy field on ecological stoichiometric characteristics of soil carbon(C), nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P), returned paddy fields for 2 years(TG2a)and for 15 years(TG15a)were selected in the Yellow River Delta, and the paddy field(DT)and natural wetland(ZR)were selected as the controls, to study the ecological stoichiometric characteristics of soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in paddy field, and also to reveal the key impacting factors. The results showed that the mean values of total organic carbon(TOC), total nitrogen(TN)and total phosphorus(TP)contents of different soils were 1.30-3.86, 0.30-1.03 g·kg-1, and 0.39-0.72 g·kg-1, respectively. A decreased was found for the contents of TOC, TN and TP in the TG2a soil compared to DT, while an increase was found in the TG15a soil compared to TG2a. The mean ratios of C∶N, C∶P and N∶P in soils were 4.31-5.81, 8.23-17.56 and 1.56-4.10, and values of C∶N varied with soil layers and those of C∶P and N∶P increased overall in the returned paddy field. The study indicated that the contents of dissolved organic carbon and clay were the main factors affecting the changes in TOC, TN, TP and their ecological stoichiometric characteristics in soils as a response to returning paddy field to wetland.
