Abstract: This study aimed to clarify the dynamic characteristics of and control factors on major nutrient element (C, N, P) contents and stoichiometric ratio in leaves of two-yearold mangroveKandelia obovata, and to understand nutrient use characteristics and nutrient limitation status of K. obovata in the second year after planting in Sporobolus alterniflorus invaded Luoyang River Estuary Wetland Reserve in Quanzhou Bay, Fujian Province. The C, N, P contents in leaves and aboveground biomass ofK. obovata during the growing season (June 2017-March 2018) in the second year after planting were measured. Results showed that total carbon content in leaves of two-year-old K. obovata ranged from 363.12 to 425.75 g·kg-1. The range of total nitrogen content was 17.37-18.22 g·kg-1, and the range of total phosphorus content was 1.33-4.06 g·kg-1. The C∶N, C∶P, N∶P ratios of K. obovata leaves changed seasonally, showing a downward and then an upward trend. These results indicated high nutrient use efficiency in the two-year-oldK. obovata in coastal wetlands of Quanzhou Bay, and that nitrogen was the major limiting element of the two-year-oldK. obovata. Our results provided scientific guidance for comprehensive management of the replacement of invasive species S. alterniflorus with K. obovata, as well as the artificial planting and maintenance of mangroves.
