Abstract：Release dynamics of phosphorus in an subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest dominated by Cyclobalanopsis glauca growing on red soil in Zhejiang w aselucidated in this paper. The concentrationsof P in 5 litter types were less changed after decomposition of 24 months. The correlation betw een the remaining percent of P and dry mass w as closed, but the changing of the concentrations of P and C/P ratio was not correlated with the loss of dry mass. Models of the remeining percent of P were established.
