[N cycle of rubber-tea-chicken agro-forestry model in tropical area of China].
The N cycle of rubber-tea-chicken eco-agricultural model, a typical tropical agro-forestry system in Wenchang municipality of Hainan province, was studied with quantitative experiment and qualitative analysis, compared with rubber and rubeer-tea systems. The results showed that the N cycling rate, N output and soil surplus N of chicken garden were all the highest, being 43%; 196.5% kg.hm-2 and 237.6 kg.hm-2, respectively. The N output/input rate of chicken sub-system was 91%, and the transformation rate was very high. Compared with the other two systems, the chicken garden had a decreased external N input rate, and its internal cycling N was the highest, being 824.1 kg.hm-2. Rubber-tea-chicken agro-forestry system had a rational N cycling structure, and its N cycle was most active.
