Abstract:

A study on precipitation in the Abies smithii forest ecosystem of Mountain Sejila in Tibet has been done in the year of 2000—2001. Contents of the nutrient elements and ions of precipitation have been analysed. The results showed: the content and input of nutrients from precipitation in the Abies smithii forest ecosystem of Mountain Sejila in Tibet were Zn >N >Mg >Fe >Ca >P >Na >K. The input quantities were 25.1、23.3、8.1、4.1、1.9、0.4、0.026、0.007 kg·hm-2a-1 respectively, and the input quantities of SO42-、HCO3-and Cl- were 742.6、74.3 and 51.6 kg·hm-2a-1 respectively. The main nutrient inputs were from rainfall. The main element in eluviations from forest canopy was the element Na, but that from tree trunks was the element P. The forest canopy possessed absorption capabilities upon the elements and/or ions of Fe, Zn, HCO3-, Cl-, N, SO42-and so on.

Key words: Tibet, Abies smithii, Ecosystem, Nutrient inputs from precipitation
