Effects of Different Revegetation Patterns on Soil and Water Conservation in Sandy-hilly Region of Northern Shanxi Province
This study investigated soil and water conservation effect of different revegetation patterns in sandy-hilly region of northern Shanxi Province. The characteristics of soil water content
physical and chemical properties
runoff volume and soil erosion of four revegetation patterns plots which have been grown for about twenty years at sunny slope in Jiajiayao watershed in Youyu County
were analyzed. Those revegetation patterns included naturally colonized herbaceous plants
Pinus tabuliformis plantation
Caragana korshinskii plantation
and Pinus tabuliformis-Caragana korshinskii plantation. The results showed that:(1) There was no significant difference in soil water content in 0-100 cm depth. Soil bulk density of naturally colonized herbaceous plants and Pinus tabuliformis plantation were higher than those of Pinus tabuliformis-Caragana korshinskii plantation and Caragana korshinskii plantation
while the trends of soil total porosity were opposite to those of bulk density. (2) There were no significant differences in soil granularity distribution
pH
organic matter
ammonium nitrogen and available phosphorus in 0-20 cm depth of the four revegetation patterns
while the differences of nitrate nitrogen and available potassium were significant (P<0.05). (3) Revegetation patterns had significant differences on soil erosion
but no effects on runoff (P<0.05). The soil erosion of naturally colonized herbaceous plants and Pinus tabuliformis plantation were significantly higher than those of Caragana korshinskii plantation and Pinus tabuliformis-Caragana korshinskii plantation (P<0.05). (4) If coverage was similar
root density
near surface vegetation coverage and leaf litter thickness were the main factors affecting soil and water conservation effect of forest-grass vegetation.
