Abstract
The amount and pattern of litterfall and its nutrient return were studied in seven natural forests of Schima superba Gardn. and Champ. (SCS), Castanopsis fabri Hance (CAF), Tsoongiodendron odorum Chun (TSO), Cinnamomum chekiangense Nakai (CIC), Altingia gracilipes Hemsl. (ALG), Castanopsis carlesii (Hemsl.) Hayata (CAC) and Pinus massoniana D. Don (PIM), and compared with that of an adjacent 29-year-old plantation of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata Lamb.) (CUL) in Jianou, Fujian, China. Mean annual total litterfall over 3 years of observations varied from 4.63 Mg ha(-1) in the CUL to 8.85 Mg ha(-1) in the PIM; of this litterfall, the leaf contribution ranged from 62 to 73 per cent. Litterfall in the CAF, ALG and CAC showed an unimodal distribution pattern, while for the five other forests, the litterfall pattern was multi-peak. The rank order of the eight forests, according to nutrient return mass with the exception of P, was different from the order when rank was according to total mass of litterfall. The highest annual N, K and Ca returns from total litterfall were noticed in the TSO, the CAF and the CUL, respectively. The amounts of P and Mg potentially returned to the soil were the highest in the PIM. The leaf fraction provided greater potential returns of N, P, K, Ca and Mg to the soil than other litter fractions. The results of this study demonstrate that natural forests have a greater capability for maintaining site productivity than the monoculture coniferous plantation, due to higher amount of above-ground litter coupled with greater nutrient returns; therefore conservation of natural forests is recommended as a practical measure in forest management to realize sustainable development of forestry in mountainous areas of southern China.

闽台交融的考试纽带:清代福建乡试研究
刘一彬 (2011-10-21)乡试是中国科举史上各层级考试中最迟出现的一级考试,也是影响最大、竞争最为激烈的一级考试。它既是国家抡才大典,也是各省政治、经济、文化、教育生活中的大事;它既牵涉到广大应考士子一生的命运,同时也会牵涉到众多与考试相关官员的前途。乡试与区域政治文化密切相关,特别是清代福建乡试具有独特性。鉴于乡试本身的重要性和清代福建乡试的独特性等方面考虑,本研究选取清代福建乡试作为研究对象。 研究福建乡试的意义和价值在于通过传承和延续乡试的合理内核,推进科 ... -
从《龙岩方言词典》看龙岩话的特点和研究价值
李如龙 (2015-8-25)龙岩方言是闽南话的西片,由于和闽西客家方言连界,有作为州城200年,吸收了一些客家方言和官话方言的特征,在语音、词汇上都有表现。郭启熹主编的《龙岩方言词典》反映这些特点比较充分。这部词典对研究闽南方言的流变很有价值。 -
福建构建21世纪海上丝绸之路战略的优势、挑战与对策
吴崇伯 (2014-11-20)习近平主席2013年访问印尼时提出“海上丝绸之路“战略构想。作为历史上“海上丝绸之路“的起点,福建应抓住机遇,发挥海洋渔业、闽籍侨商丰富的人脉资源、国际商业网络的优势,深化与海丝沿线国家在各个层面的合作,全力构建一条重点面向东南亚、兼顾南亚与非洲、以经贸和文化为内容的新时代海上丝绸之路,争取在国家“海上丝绸之路“建设中凸显福建的地位和作用。
