Abstract

The P-N regression coefficient was moderate in Magnoliales,Coniferopsidae, Pteridophyta, and Asterids, but very high in Caryophyllids,and very low in Rosids. The K-N regression coefficient in trees remainedconstant regardless of evolution, and that in grasses was high except forRosids compared with that in trees. The coefficient was very high inCaryophyllids and was very low in Rosids. The N-Ca and N-Mg relationshipwas not estimated at all, suggesting that the mechanism of Ca and Mgaccumulation was completely different from that of N related accumulation.The Zn and Cu concentrations were related to the N concentration.The Al concentration in leaves was negatively correlated with the N, P, K,Ca, Mg, Na, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Fe concentrations, while the N, P, K, andMn concentrations in leaves increased slightly with the increase of Alconcentration in the high Al concentration. The Na concentration in leavesrelated negatively to the P, Ca, Cu, Zn, Mn and Al concentration range.Thus, it was demonstrated that most of the minerals in leaves accumulatenegatively Al and Na indicating that there are antagonistic mechanisms formineral accumulation in leaves among Al or Na and other mineralelements.
