Characteristics of Soil Infiltration and Soil Quality Evaluation After Conversion of Farmland to Forest in Loess Region of Western Shanxi Province
In order to study the soil infiltration characteristics and soil quality evaluation under different vegetation cover after returning farmland to forest in the loess region of Western Shanxi Province
the field double-ring infiltration method was developed for the determination of soil water infiltration characteristics. The soil bulk density
porosity
organic matter
and total nitrogen were studied. Correlation analysis was used to study the relationships between soil infiltration capability and the physical and chemical properties of soil. Principal component analysis was also used on the soil physical and chemical properties. The results showed that:(1) Vegetation type had a great influence on soil permeability rate
which was as follows natural secondary forest > Mixed forest of Robinia pseudoacacia and Pinus tabulaeformis > Robinia pseudoacacia forest > Pinus tabulaeformis forest > Shrub > Malus pumila > waste grassland > farmland. (2) After the conversion of farmland to forest
the soil physical and chemical properties of different types of vegetation had significant differences. With the better degree of forest restoration
the soil bulk density decreased
and the contents of porosity and organic matter increased
the soil physical and chemical properties was also gradually improved. Soil infiltration characteristics were significantly positively correlated with total porosity
non-capillary porosity
organic matter and total nitrogen content (P < 0.01)
significantly negatively correlated with bulk density (P < 0.01)
and significantly negatively correlated with available phosphorus (P < 0.05). With the conversion from farmland to waste grassland
shrub and arboreal forest
soil physical and chemical properties were improved and soil permeability was also gradually enhanced. (3) Soil infiltration performance and soil physical and chemical properties were used as soil evaluation indexes. The order of soil quality of different vegetation types from high to low was as follows natural secondary forest > Mixed forest of Robinia pseudoacacia and Pinus tabulaeformis > Robinia pseudoacacia forest > Pinus tabulaeformis forest> Shrub > Malus pumila > waste grassland > farmland.
