Element concentration within a plant which is vital to function maintenance and adaptation to environment, may change with plant growth. However, how carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) vary stoichiometrically with stand growth, i.e. ages or cuts, was still untouched in perennial species. Th...
