Abstract: In order to explore the response of nitrogen application rate to chlorophyll content and photosynthetic characteristics of Leymus chinensis, five nitrogen (pure N) gradients (0, 75, 150, 225, 300 kg/hm2) were set in a potted experiment. Chlorophyll content and photosynthetic characteristics of L. chinensis were measured at the jointing stage. The effects of different nitrogen application rates on biomass, chlorophyll content and photosynthetic characteristics of L. chinensis were analyzed. The results showed as follows:①Compared with no nitrogen application, nitrogen application rate had a certain promotion effect on the total biomass of L. chinensis in the range of 75~150 kg/hm2, and the most obvious promotion effect was at 150 kg/hm2, which increased by 18.05%; ②the contents of chlorophyll a and carotenoids increased first and then decreased with the increase of nitrogen application rate, and reached the maximum values at 150 kg/hm2, which were 1.68 mg/g and 0.64 mg/g, respectively; ③photosynthetic characteristics (net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate) of L. chinensis generally increased first and then decreased with the increase of nitrogen application rate, and reached the maximum under N150 treatment. It was concluded that 150 kg/hm2 nitrogen fertilizer had the best chlorophyll content, which promoted photosynthesis and further increased biomass accumulation of L. chinensis.
