Nutrient stoichiometric and resorption characteristics of the petals of four common urban greening Rosaceae tree species.

Objective: Nutrient resorption efficiency and stoichiometric ratios are important strategies for understanding plants. The present study examined whether or not the nutrient resorption process of plant petals is similar to that of leaves and other vegetative organs, as well as the nutrient restriction status of the whole flowering process of plants in urban ecosystems.

Methods: Four Rosaceae tree species, Matsum, var.
