Abstract: The maximum of net photosynthesis based on area (Amax), specific leaf area (SLA), and leaf nitrogen and phosphor concentration (N, P) of 5 main dominant species under 4 different degradation plots (removing trees, H>8 m; removing trees, H<8 m; removing all aboveground plant; removing all aboveground plant and 010 cm depth surface soil) were studied in Tiantong National Forest Park, Zhejiang province, China. The main results as follows. (1) Amax increased and SLA decreased along disturbance levels. (2) The low content of soil available P in plot Ⅲ (removing all aboveground plant and 010 cm depth surface soil) caused the significant declining of leaf P concentration. (3) Different main woody species owned different ecological adaptation to disturbance. Deciduous Litsea cubeba grew fast and dominated at the early stage of restoration with higher Amax, SLA, leaf N and P concentration. Schima superba had low leaf N and P concentration, while its Amax was high and had significant positive relationship with Amax.. Lithocarpus glaber had high leaf N concentration in degradation plots, which maintained at higher degree and was related positive with Amax significantly, and had high ability of defending leaf against high light. Castanopsis carlesii had medium Amax, SLA, leaf N and P concentration; its Amax and SLA had high plasticity, while leaf N concentration was steady. Castanopsis fargesii had low Amax and ability of the utilization of high light.

Key words: restoration, the maximum of net photosynthesis based on area, specific leaf area, leaf nitrogen and phosphor concentration, evergreen broadleaved forest, restoration, the maximum of net photosynthesis based on area, specific leaf area, leaf nitrogen and phosphor concentration
