Source-sink relationships and branching architecture are two determinants of clonal integration, but their joint effects on resource translocation are still unclear. Our aim was to elucidate the pattern and mechanism of resource translocation controlled by source-sink relationships and branching architecture. We conducted a N-15-tracing experiment in six plots of a running bamboo, Phyllostachys glauca, in the field. The immature ramets and mature ramets were defined as strong sinks and weak sinks according to their sink strength, and the territories of integrated ramets were classified into zero-barrier zones and barrier zones considering rhizome branching architecture. The translocation of N-15 for all ramets showed a logarithmic pattern over time with a peak around the fifth week after labelling. Spatially, N-15 was exported first to ramets in zero-barrier zones within three days and then to ramets in barrier zones within three weeks. Ramets in zero-barrier zones had a significantly higher translocation intensity (1653.2 parts per thousand), speed (1.95 m/day) and amount (39.9 mg kg(-1)), and a shorter translocation time (three days) than ramets in barrier zones (61.3 parts per thousand, 0.86 m/day, 2.3 mg kg(-1) and 1.4 weeks, respectively). In zero-barrier zones, translocation intensity and amount in immature ramets were 6.7 and 3.4 times greater than those in mature ramets, respectively. In barrier zones, translocation traits (intensity, speed, time, amount) of immature ramets and mature ramets were similar. In addition, distance did not affect nitrogen translocation pattern or the effects of rhizome branching architecture and source-sink relationships on nitrogen translocation. The nitrogen translocation was mainly confined in zero-barrier zones by rhizome branching architecture, where source-sink relationships worked. In the clonal integration of P. glauca, source-sink relationships are the driving forces, while rhizome branching architecture acts as a flow restrictor. The results provide implications for spreading control and fertilizer applications on running bamboos.
