Effects of Forestland Reclamation on Soil Nutrients Spatial Distribution Along Slope in the Hilly Area of the Loess Plateau, China
This study was aimed to investigate the distribution of soil nutrients along slope on the Loess Plateau and establish the spatial variation of soil nutrients driven by erosion after forestland reclamation. In this study
soils were collected in the Ziwuling forestland and forestland reclaimed for 28 years which was eroded
in the hilly area of the Loess Plateau. The spatial distributions of soil nutrients were analyzed with the methods of classical statistics and geostatistics. We found that the soil pH value increased by 0.24 units in the slopes after reclamation
while the soil organic matter (OM)
total nitrogen (TN)
total phosphorus (TP)
ammonium nitrogen (NH4+)
nitrate nitrogen (NO3-)
available potassium (AP)
available phosphorus (AK) decreased by 13.77
1.14
0.10 g/kg
and 6.05
1.63
4.99
58.44 mg/kg
respectively. The variation coefficients of soil OM
TN and TP in the forest were greater than those in the forestland reclamation
while the opposite trend was found in the soil pH value. The changes of the nutrients in the middle slope and lower slope was larger
but was smaller in the upper slope after the forestland reclamation. The soil nutrients in the forest and the forestland reclamation had medium or strong spatial self-correlation. The spatial heterogeneity of OM
TN
TP
NH4+
AP and AK in the forestland reclamation was increased
but the spatial heterogeneity of soil pH was decreased
mainly due to the structural factors
such as terrain
dominated the formation of soil nutrients space heterogeneity. After the reclamation of forestland
the effective range of pH
OM
TN and TP were increased
while NH4+
NO3- and AK were decreased
and the variation of AP on the two slopes was inconsistent. Our results demonstrated that soil nutrients contents on the slope decreased in the forestland reclamation
but the changes in the nutrients were related to slope position and slope pattern. Moreover
the spatial dependence of OM
TN and TP increased
but decreased in the available nutrients after the forestland reclamation.
