Abstract

Nutrient resorption is one of the parameter for predicting nutrient conservation in different ecosystem under different climatic roof The differential resorption ability of the available essential nutrient was observed between the different species grown under the same climate of the sub tropical forest ecosystem. The results suggest that the varying resorption efficiency between the species might be related with the physiological constraints for adaptation in a diverse community However, being a phosphorous limiting soil ecosystem PRE was higher than KRE and NRE. The efficiency of resorption was not only controlled by their respective nutrient content in the fresh and litter sample in the respective components i.e., leaves, twig and fruit but also by other factors like climate, physiological stoichiometry, stress etc. The proper resorption efficiency enhances the adaptation ability of the species in the low latitude region.
