| Abstract | Key message Throughfall nutrient fluxes were generally higher in a mixed stand than in a pure stand of Oriental beech. Throughfall fluxes were higher than bulk precipitation fluxes except for nitrogen and indicate higher canopy uptake of this element in the pure stand compared to the mixed stand. Context Oriental beech is an economically relevant tree species for Iran and adjacent countries. Yet little is known about nutrient cycling in Oriental beech stands and the influence of the degree of mixture with other species. Aim s We assessed the effect of seasons on nutrient fluxes in precipitation and whether throughfall chemistry differed between pure and mixed stands. Methods Bulk precipitation in the open field and throughfall were sampled during one whole month within each season from August 2013 to May 2014 in a pure (81 % of beech trees on average) and a mixed stand (57 % of beech trees) of Oriental beech. Samples were analysed for pH, nitrate (NO3 −), ammonium (NH4 +), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+) and potassium (K+). Results Nutrient concentrations were generally higher in the growing season than in the dormant season, both in bulk precipitation and in throughfall. Nutrient fluxes were higher in fall and these peaks coincided with higher amounts of precipitation. The concentrations and fluxes of NH4 +, NO3 −, P, Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+ were generally higher in the mixed stand than in the pure stand in all seasons. Compared to the open field, throughfall fluxes were usually higher, except for NO3 − and NH4 +, indicating direct canopy uptake of nitrogen. Conclusion Canopy composition in Oriental beech stands (owing to differences in foliage chemistry) and seasons (owing to differences in precipitation regime and phenological stages) have a significant effect on throughfall nutrient fluxes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
