A field study was conducted to evaluate effects of hedgerows reducing nitrogen and phosphorus leaching loss from intensively managed Phyllostachys praecox stands. Three types of hedgerows composed of Lolium perenne L., Photinia X. and Ligustrum japonicum mixture, and extensively managed P. praecox groves, separately, were set up. Samples of subsurface leachate were taken at 0.3m depth on both sides of the hedgerows between June and October in 2010 for analysis of concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus. All the three types of hedgerows intercepted large amounts of nutrients, thus significantly reducing concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in the leachates collected at the down slopes of the hedgerows. But the effects varied only slightly between hedgerows, showing a decreasing order of hedgerow of natural P. praecox (N 81.3 kg hm^-2 and P 4.9 kg hm^-2 ) > hedgerow of L. perenne (N 81.1 kg hm^-2 and P 4.7 kg hm^-2 ) > hedgerow of Photinia X. and L. japonicum mixture (N 77.0 kg hm^-2 and P 4.3 kg hm^-2 ). Up to 61% of the nitrogen and 49% of the phosphorus in the leachate from the upslope P. praecox stands were intercepted by the hedgerows. Among the three types of hedgerows, the one of extensively managed P. praecox groves was the most worthy of extrapolating, because it does not only reduce N and P non-point source pollution, but also save time and labor in setting up the hedgerow and produce marketable bamboo shoots as well.
