Soil Physicochemical Properties and Enzyme Activities Along the Altitudinal Gradients in
This study selected Picea crassifolia forest which lived at altitudes of 2 900~3 000 m in pailugou catchment of Qilian Mountains as objects. By field investigation and laboratory analysis
the distribution characteristics of soil physicochemical properties and enzyme activities along the altitudinal gradients were studied. The relationships between soil physicochemical properties and soil enzyme activities were also analyzed. The results showed that:(1) With the increased altitudes
soil water contents
as well organic matter
total nitrogen and available potassium contents increased gradually; but soil bulk densities
pH values and total potassium contents decreased gradually; total phosphorus contents decreased at first and then increased
available phosphorus contents had not significant variation. (2) With the increased altitudes
the activities of invertase and alkaline phosphatase showed an increasing trend generally
the activities of urease decreased at first and then increased generally
and the activities of protease changed a little and had no significant difference (P>0.05). (3) Soil enzyme activities were closely related to soil organic matter
nitrogen
phosphorus and potassium contents
among which sucrase
urease and protease activities were significantly correlated with soil total nitrogen
total potassium and available potassium contents (P<0.05). (4) There existed significantly correlations among four enzyme activities
indicating that enzymatic reaction had specificity and commonality.
