Abstract: Fertilization can significantly increase the biomass of poplar tree, especially that of its root.Whether fertilization or not, leaf is the major N pool for the growing poplar tree, and about 63% of N in it is transfered into trunk, branch and root before its fallen.Fertilization can increase the gross flux of N by 46%, and change the structure of N cyce in poplar tree.Comparing with control, fertilization can increase the rate of internal flux vs.gross flux from 0.37 to 0.45.

Key words: Fertilization, Poplar tree, Nutrient cycling
