Abstract:In a small watershed with an area 21370m2 covered,with the mixed forest of Pinus massoninana and broad-leaved trees,the cycling process of K、P、Ca、Mg、Zn、Cu、Fe and Mn,including their accumulation,retention,leaching,return,uptake and average budget has been studied from 1993 to 1995. The experimental results show that the total amount ofmineral elements in the rainfall input into the mixed forest ecosystem was more than the output from the system in the runoff from l993 to l995,and the stand was on positive succession with higher using and cycling efficiencies.
