Abstract
Samples from the L, F, H and $A_1$ horizons of the Phragmites communis, Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Scirpus tabernaemontani and Typha angustata grassland were collected in Paldangho and the removal rates of ritrogen were investigated. The removal rates of nitrogen of the litters were 0.85 in P.communis, 0.56 in M sacchariflorus, 0.45 in T. angustata and 0.31 in S. tabernaemontani The time required to decay 50, 95, 99 percent of the steady state levels and turnover values of nitrogen on the grassland floor were 0.81, 3.53, 5.89 years in the P. communis, 1.23, 5.32, 8.86 years in the M sacchariflorus, 1.54, 6.68, 11.13 years in the S. tabernaemontani and 2.22, 9.63, 16.04 years in the T. angustata Key words: Removal rate, Accumulation, Paldangho, Nitrogen, Phragmites communis, Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Scirpus tabernaemontani, Typha angustata.
