Response of Soil Erodibility on the Loess Plateau to the Grain to Green Program
The implementation of Grain to Green Program (GTGP) significantly affects the physicochemical properties of the soil on the Loess Plateau
which may influence the soil erodibility. However
the response of soil erodibility to GTGP and its regional characteristics across the Loess Plateau were still unclear. Accordingly
with cultivated land as the control
the soil physicochemical properties of three types of reclaimed farmland (forest
shrub land and grassland) in four rainfall zones (200~300
300~400
400~500
>500 mm) on the Loess Plateau were studied through field investigation and laboratory analysis. The EPIC model was used to estimate soil erodibility and analyze the effects of different conversion types on soil erodibility in different areas of the Loess Plateau. The results showed that in the whole Loess Plateau
the soil organic carbon content of 0—20 cm of GTGP increased by 1.22~2.83 g/kg
and the soil organic carbon content of forest
shrub
and grassland increased by 1.70
1.72 and 2.72 g/kg
respectively. In the Loess Plateau
there were significant differences in the clay particles between grassland and farmland within the rainfall zone of 200~300 mm
but there were no significant differences in the clay particles
silt particles and sand particles among different types of converted farmland in the rainfall zone of 300~400
400~500 and >500 mm. Soil erodibility before and after GTGP on the Loess Plateau showed a decreasing trend from 0.012 4 to 0.011 5 (t·hm2·h)/(hm2·MJ·mm)
respectively
but the difference was not significant
and there was no significant difference in soil erodibility among forest
shrub
grassland and cultivated land. Overall
the GTGP greatly enhanced the soil organic carbon content
but had no effect on soil particle composition and soil erodibility. The results can provide a scientific basis for predicting soil erosion on the Loess Plateau after GTGP.
