A mass balance approach was used to estimate the mean residence times for organic matter, N and P, and examine the flexibility of the N and P intra-system cycling in the three forest ecosystems. We approached this task by combining the published values of the N and P in the foliage, litterfall, forest floor litter, and mineral soil from these three forest ecosystems. Our analysis was consistent with the idea that the leaf (both green and senescent leaves) and litter N increases with increasing temperatures. In contrast, our data did not support the hypothesis that the leaf P decreases with increasing temperatures and precipitation: the leaf P and litterfall P concentrations were higher in the two studied tropical forests than in the temperate forest. The TEF had the highest P concentration of all of the studied forests. The mass balance analysis indicate that, while in TDF P mineralization can run ahead of the stoichiometry of litter decomposition when P is in short supply, that flexibility is much-reduced or absent in TEF and MTF. Although our analysis provide additional evidence suggesting the importance of climatic factors in ecosystem processes in forest ecosystems, it also highlights the role of flexibility in within ecosystem nutrient cycling, specially for P, in ecosystems with low supply of P.This research was supported by a CONACYT (138403), DGAPA-UNAM and the Spanish Ministerio de Educación to J.
