TAILIEUCHUNG - Nitrogen and phosphorus resorption in a salt marsh in northern Turkey

This study was conducted to investigate foliar nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics, nitrogen and phosphorus resorption, and some leaf traits (. SLA=specific leaf area) in some coastal salt marsh plants located in northern Turkey. | Research Article Turk J Bot 34 (2010) 311-322 © TÜBİTAK doi: Nitrogen and phosphorus resorption in a salt marsh in northern Turkey Yasemin BEDİRKURUM ÇAKIR1, Tuğba ÖZBUCAK2,*, Hamdi Güray KUTBAY1, Duygu KILIÇ3, Ali BİLGİN4, Rena HÜSEYİNOVA1 1 Ondokuz Mayıs University, Faculty of Science & Arts, Department of Biology, Samsun - TURKEY 2University of Ordu, Faculty of Science & Arts, Department of Biology, 52750 Ordu - TURKEY 3Bilsem High School, Amasya - TURKEY 4Rize University, Faculty of Science & Arts, Department of Biology, 53100 Rize - TURKEY Received: Accepted: Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate foliar nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics, nitrogen and phosphorus resorption, and some leaf traits (. SLA=specific leaf area) in some coastal salt marsh plants located in northern Turkey. The study area is located on the east bank of the Kızılırmak River in the central Black Sea Region. There were statistically significant differences among months (from June to October) in terms of SLA in all species except for Artemisia santonicum. However, no significant differences were found with respect to P in all species. The highest N and P resorption efficiencies were found in Salicornia prostrata, whereas the lowest resorption efficiencies were found in Euphorbia paralias. P resorption proficiency is biochemically complete in all species. N resorption proficiency is biochemically complete except for E. paralias. Additionally, Grime’s CSR (C: competitive; S: stress-tolerant; R: ruderal) strategies were also investigated and it was found that all of the species exhibit competitive ruderal strategy. Key words: Coastal salt marshes, Grime’s strategies, resorption efficiency and proficiency Kuzey Türkiye’deki bir tuzlu bataklıkta azot ve fosfor geri taşınımı Özet: Bu çalışma Türkiye’nin Orta Karadeniz Bölgesinde bulunan Kızılırmağın doğu kısmında bulunan bazı kıyı tuzlu bataklık bitkilerinde yaprak azot ve fosfor .
