[Objective] seedlings of umbrella The paper was to study the distribution of main nutrients in bamboo （Fargesia murielae） in Shennongjia National Nature Reserve. [Method] The study was conducted in Liangfengya of Shennongjia National Nature Reserve. In the field investigation, six clumps of umbrella bamboo grown in- dependently were randomly selected and sampled. The total nitrogen, total phospho- rus and total potassium of umbrella bamboo were detected by regular plant analysis method. The age classes of bamboo seedlings were ascertained by age grade backtracking method. [Result] In different organs, N, P, K contents in branches and leaves were significantly higher that than in stems. Along age grades, N and P contents performed ＂M＂ shape in branches and leaves, while K content approxi- mately performed as normal distribution. [Conclusion] The nutrients distribution pattern of these seedlings is likely formed by its nutrition mechanism which allocates nutri- ents according to different needs or by external interference of environmental fea- tures. However, the specific causes still need further investigation.
