Taking the typical shelter forest in Hobq Desert as the object
the physical and chemical properties of soil in different forests were measured to evaluate the soil improvement benefits of the shelter forest system and provide theoretical support for the management and maintenance of shelter forest in Hobq Desert. The results showed that: (1) 15 years after the establishment of the Hobq Desert Shelter Forest
the original quicksand texture had changed significantly due to the effect of vegetation improvement. Compared with the quicksand environment
the contents of soil AN
AP
AK
SOM
TN
TP and TK increased by 243.95%
37.89%
108.84%
138.71%
118.77%
42.41% and 45.77%
respectively. Compared with other types of vegetation
the contents of SOM
AK and TN in Elaeagnus angustifolia shelter forest increased the most
with the increase of 188.36%
151.84% and 158.67%
respectively. The AN content in Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica shelterbelt had the largest increase
with an increase of 481.86%. The physical properties of soil showed different rules with the increasing of soil layers. Compared with the quicksand environment
soil water content (SWC) and porosity (PV) changed significantly. (2) The variation ranges of C/N
C/P and N/P in this area were 7.46~27.22
2.11~14.17 and 0.07~0.62
respectively. Vegetation type
soil depth and the interaction between them significantly affected soil quality
and vegetation restoration process in this study area was mainly limited by nitrogen content. (3)The redundancy analysis showed that the SWC and PV had significant correlation with the soil nutrients and stoichiometric characteristics of the shelter forest
and they were also the main environmental factors that affected the soil nutrients and stoichiometric features of the Hobq Desert Shelterbelt. These results could provide data support for evaluating the soil improvement benefits of the Shelter Forest System in Hobq Desert.
