Nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, N:P ratio and nutrient resorption efficiency of phyllodes during senescence for Acacia confusa were studied at Wulaofeng, Xiamen.The results showed:(1) Mature phyllodes had the high N concentration, with 39.90±2.10 mg/g in winter, and 43.13±1.67 mg/g in spring;P concentration of mature phyllodes was 1.24±0.04 mg/g in winter, and 1.16±0.05 mg/g in spring, respectively;N and P concentrations decreased with phyllodes senescence.(2) N:P ratio of mature phyllodes was 32.26±1.53 in winter and 37.37±1.61 in spring, respectively;N:P ratios were above 16, which illustrated that Acacia confusa forest was P-limited.Resorption efficiency of P was significantly higher than resorption efficiency of N.
