DYNAMICS OF LITTER DECOMPOSITION AND SEASONAL DYNAMICS OF PHOSPHORUS IN DECOMPOSED RESIDUA OF Calamagrotis augustifolia IN THE WETLAND OF THE SANJIANG PLAIN

During the period of May to October in1999,systematical studies were giv en to the rate of decomposition of Calamagrostis angustifolia litter,the phosphorus content and weight in decomposed residua of litte r,and phosphorus content in the corresponding soil in the Sanjiang Plain.At the same time,the simulation models were listed in the paper.The results showed that the rate of we ight lost of decomposition of Calamagrostis angustifolia litter is 29.80%and the maximum of daily rate of weight lost i s 0.25%,which appeared in July.The c hange trend of phosphorus content an d weight in the decomposed residua of l itter is to reduce with the decomposing process,when it comes to the day of157,the decrement amount of the both were respectively 57.69mg /kg and 1.6199mg,which were 72.80%and 76.30%of its previous amount.In addition,th ere is a polynomial minus correlatio nship of phosphorus content between the variation in corresponding soil and the decomp osed residua of litter at the corresp onding period.The study will be help ful to further understand the process and mechanis m of biochemical cycling of nutrient elements in wetland ecosystems,in a ddition,it will also be helpful to the restoration and rebuilding of retrogressive wetlands and reasonable development and utilization of wetlands in the Sanjiang Plain.
