Unraveling plant adaptation to nitrogen limitation from enzyme stoichiometry aspect in Karst soils: a case study of Rhododendron Pudingense.

ABSTRACT: Enzyme stoichiometry can reflect the resource limitation of soil microbial metabolism, and research on the relationships between plants and resource limitation in Karst Microhabitats is scarcely investigated. To clarify the extracellular enzyme stoichiometry characteristics in soil across different karst microhabitats and how the Rhododendron pudingense adapts to nutrient restrictions, plot investigation experiments were set up in Zhenning County, Qinglong County, and Wangmo County of Guizhou Province which included total three karst microhabitats, i.e., soil surface (SS), rock gully (RG), and rock surface (RS), by analyzing he rhizosphere soil nutrient, extracellular enzyme activity, and nutrient content of R. pudingense. The findings indicated that all karst microenv
