Aggregate stability in range sandy loam soils Relationships with runoff and erosion

The spatial variability of soil aggregate stability and its relationship to runoff and soil erosion were examined in a catena of soils and vegetation in a semiarid environment at the Rambla Honda field site (Tabernas, Almería, SE Spain) to evaluate the validity of structural stability as a soil erosion indicator in sandy loam range soils. The influence of soil properties and topography on the variability of aggregate stability was also examined. Methods include: 1) aggregate stability assessment at 12 sites (3 repetitions per site) on the hillslope by two methods: a) aggregate size distribution by dry sieving b) water drop test; 2) soil organic carbon content; 3) particle size distribution determination; 4) terrain attributes derived from a digital elevation model (1-m resolution); 5) monitoring runoff and erosion for nearly 3 years in eight (10 × 2 m) plots distributed over the hillslope. Results: 41% of the average soil mass is formed by > 2-mm aggregates. However, wet aggregate stability is poor, with a mean (of a total of 1440 aggregates) of only 26 drop impacts necessary to break up a wet aggregate (pF = 1). Significant relationships were found in the number of water drops required for aggregate breakdown and runoff and erosion rates. However, no significant relationships between the mean weight diameter of aggregates under dry conditions and runoff or erosion rates were observed. The relationships of aggregates with other soil properties, hillslope position and proximity to plants are also analysed. The most significant correlation found was between the number of drop impacts and soil organic matter content. The stability of topsoil aggregates seems to be a valuable indicator of field-assessed runoff and inter-rill erosion of sandy loam range soils under semiarid conditions.     

中国亚热带红壤团聚体稳定性与土壤化学性质的关系

The stability of aggregates in the surface soil is crucial to soil erosion and runoff generation. Thus, to understand the stability and the breakdown mechanisms of soil aggregates as well as the relationship between aggregate stability and selected soil chemical properties, such as different forms of Fe and Al oxides, organic matter, CEC and clay content, the aggregates of slightly and severely eroded red soils derived from Quaternary red clay in subtropical China were analyzed using the routine wet sieving and the Le Bissonnais methods. The results indicated that the aggregates of the severely eroded soils were more stable than those of the slightly eroded soils. Different aggregate breakdown mechanisms resulted in different particle size distribution. The slaking from entrapped air in aggregates severely destroyed the soil aggregates, especially in the slightly eroded soils. Meanwhile, mechanical breakdown and microcracking had little effect on the aggregates compared to slaking. The fragments resulting from slaking were mainly microaggregates that increased in size with increasing clay content. The main fragment size of the slightly eroded soils was 1.0-0.2 mm, while for the severely eroded soils it was 5.0-2.0 mm and 1.0-0.5 mm. Overall, more than 20% of the fragments were smaller than 0.2 mm. In addition, aggregate stability was positively and often significantly correlated with Fe_d, Al_d, Fe_o and clay content, but significantly and negatively correlated to SOC.

土壤团聚体研究进展

土壤团聚体是土壤的重要组成部分,影响了土壤的各种物理化学性质,对土壤侵蚀有重要影响,其水稳性和数量是评价土壤可蚀性的重要评价指标。综述了土壤团聚体的形成、影响土壤团聚体水稳性的因素、以及土壤团聚体研究方法的研究的最新进展,针对其中存在问题,指出今后可能的发展方向。     

土粒表面电场对土壤团聚体破碎及溅蚀的影响

团聚体是土壤结构的基本单元,其稳定性是评估土壤抗侵蚀能力的重要指标。土壤团聚体破碎是降雨溅蚀发生的关键一步。土粒表面电场对团聚体稳定性具有重要影响,必然也会深刻影响降雨溅蚀过程。该文以黄土母质发育的黄绵土和塿土为研究对象,采用不同浓度的电解质溶液定量调控土粒表面电场,研究不同电场强度对团聚体破碎及溅蚀的影响。结果发现:1)随电解质浓度的降低,土粒表面电位升高,表面电场增大,黄绵土和塿土团聚体平均重量直径减小,团聚体稳定性降低,降雨溅蚀量增大。2)电解质浓度小于10-2 mol/L,黄绵土和塿土表面电位绝对值分别高于202.0和231.6 mV,此时团聚体稳定性和溅蚀量变化不明显,表明表面电位202.0和231.6 mV分别是影响黄绵土和塿土团聚体稳定性及溅蚀的关键电位。3)随着土粒表面电场的减弱,团聚体破碎后释放的<0.15 mm微团聚体含量减小,>0.25 mm大团聚体含量增加,团聚体倾向于破碎为更大粒级的团聚体。4)电场作用下团聚体的破碎特征对降雨溅蚀具有重要的影响,溅蚀量与团聚体破碎释放的<0.15 mm微团聚体含量呈显著正相关,与>0.25 mm大团聚体含量呈显著负相关。上述结果表明,当降雨进入土壤后,对于干燥的土壤而言,土壤溶液电解质浓度被迅速稀释,土粒表面产生强大的电场,该电场通过影响团聚体破碎程度进而影响降雨溅蚀。该研究有助于加深对降雨溅蚀的科学认识,同时也为土壤团聚体稳定性及降雨溅蚀的人为调控提供了一定的理论依据。     

鄂南第四纪粘土红壤团聚体的稳定性及其稳定机制初探

用湿筛法和LeBissonnais法研究了鄂南第四纪红粘土母质发育的两种侵蚀程度的红壤团聚体的稳定性,并且分析了影响供试土壤团聚体稳定性的土壤性质。结果表明,轻度侵蚀的耕作土壤团聚体的稳定性较低,在水的作用下易崩解成较小粒径的水稳性团聚体;强度侵蚀的土壤表层团聚体的稳定性较高,崩解后产生较多的水稳性大团聚体。引起土壤团聚体破坏的主要作用机制是土壤团聚体中的闭蓄空气爆破引起的消散作用;研究区第四纪红壤团聚体的主要胶结物质是土壤中的粘粒、游离氧化铁铝和无定形铁。由于供试土壤中有机质含量很低,在本研究中,有机质含量与土壤团聚体稳定性之间没有显著正相关关系。     

土壤团聚体和水分动态在3种植被覆盖下的关系

为了探究不同植被覆盖下的土壤水分动态变化和团聚体稳定性的关系,选取桂花地、油菜地、杉树地3种植被下的土壤为研究对象,就团聚体和土壤水分之间的年变化关系、短期变化关系(在短期降雨前后)进行了研究。结果表明:在1年时间内、3种植被下的土壤中,杉树地土壤团聚体稳定性显著高于桂花地和油菜地,并以0.25～2mm的水稳团聚体为主。土壤团聚体稳定性的年变化趋势和土壤水分呈显著负相关关系,在土壤水分含量降低的时候团聚体稳定性升高。在桂花地、油菜地中,土壤水分和<0.25mm粒级团聚体呈显著正相关关系,和>0.25mm粒级团聚体呈负相关趋势,表明水分会促进大团聚体破碎分解成微团聚体,从而改变团聚体稳定性。同时,在短期时间内,土壤团聚体平均重量直径(MWD)随着降雨的开始呈现下降趋势,随着降雨的停止,团聚体MWD会逐渐回升。这种变化与降雨以及降雨引起的土壤水分的迅速变化有关。综合长期和短期时间变化,种植杉树林可以有效调控土壤水分变化幅度,提高团聚体稳定性,对预防水土流失具有重要作用。     

苎麻对红壤旱地土壤团聚体及其特性的影响

采用干、湿筛法研究了种植苎麻和花生对红壤旱地土壤团聚体及其特性的影响,并比较分析了土壤团聚体及土壤理化性质与地表径流和土壤侵蚀量的关系。结果表明:(1)与花生地相比,苎麻地有机质、田间持水量、总孔隙度、沙粒分别升高了28.44%,10.06%,5.65%和53.13%,土壤容重、粉粒和黏粒则分别降低了7.20%,14.85%和34.95%,均达显著性差异水平(p0.05)。(2)团聚体平均重量直径(MWD)、稳定性指数(ASI)显著升高(p0.01),苎麻地土壤团聚体稳定性优于花生地;(3)两处理均以0.25~1mm粒径团聚体保存几率最大,抗水蚀能力最强。(4)地表径流量和土壤侵蚀量与土壤有机质、沙粒含量、1mm的干团聚体、0.5mm的水稳性团聚体、MWD以及ASI呈极显著负相关关系(p0.01),而与粉粒、黏粒、0.25mm干团聚体、0.053mm的水稳性团聚体、呈极显著正相关关系(p0.01)。     

冻融循环对黑土团聚体稳定性与微结构特征的影响

冻融循环作用下的土壤结构变化被认为是融雪期黑土坡面土壤侵蚀加剧的主要原因之一,土壤团聚体稳定性与团聚体微结构是影响土壤可蚀性的关键因子.基于控制条件土壤冻融模拟试验,采用湿筛法、扫描电子显微技术(SEM)和Image-Pro Plus(IPP)图像分析处理相结合的方法,分析了冻融循环过程中黑土团聚体微结构的动态变化特征...     

Aggregate stability of a silt loam soil as affected by roots of corn,soybeans and wheat

Abstract

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of root growth and exudation of 3 crop species on soil aggregation. Two plant populations for each of 3 crops (corn, soybeans, and wheat) were grown in a Fincastle silt loam for 5 time periods (7, 14, 21, 28, and 41 days) and compared with fallow controls. Aggregate stability was estimated by the wet‐sieve method on both initially moist and air‐dry samples.

Soil water content of initially moist soil samples varied widely among replicates, crops, and sampling dates. Wet‐sieving using initially moist soil showed that samples with higher initial soil water content had greater aggregate stability. Wet‐sieving performed on initially air‐dry soil samples was used for subsequent interpretation because the water content variable was removed.

The presence of any crop and its roots in the planted soils versus the fallow controls was associated with increases in aggregate stability. No differences in aggregate stability were found among the different crops or over the established range of root length densities. Aggregate stability decreased from the original level during the first 14 to 21 days of the experiment, possibly due to daily watering. After 21 days, as root growth continued to increase, restabilization occurred until the original aggregate stability of the soil was exceeded for all crops. The observed increase in aggregate stability may be due in part to the physical entanglement of aggregates by roots and to the increased production of root exudates resulting from increased root growth.     

湘东地区典型土壤团聚体稳定性的影响因素

[目的]揭示湘东地区土壤团聚体的分布规律及其影响稳定性因素,为研究南方土壤团聚体胶结机制提供一定的理论依据。[方法]在湘东地区选择3种常见成土母质(第四纪红土、花岗岩风化物、板岩风化物)上发育的典型自然林地、水田与旱地,采集表层土壤(0—20cm)与底层土壤(40—60cm),利用湿筛法测定土壤水稳性团聚体组成。[结果]土地利用方式、母质类型及土层部位显著影响土壤团聚体的组成及稳定性,且它们的交互作用也非常明显。不同利用方式下土壤团聚体稳定性总体表现为:水田林地旱地;但利用方式对团聚体稳定性的影响仅局限于表层土壤,同时在花岗岩风化物发育质地较砂的土壤上表现不明显。不同母质间土壤团聚体稳定性呈现出如下规律:第四纪红土板岩风化物花岗岩风化物,但表层土壤或旱地、林地利用下该规律不甚明显。同时,表层土壤团聚体稳定性一般要显著高于底层土壤,但对于第四纪红土发育质地较为黏重的土壤或水田利用方式下并非如此。[结论]成土母质、利用方式、土层部位通过对土壤质地、有机质、氧化物等的影响间接影响着湘东地区土壤团聚体的分布。     

横坡和顺坡耕作对紫色土土壤团聚体稳定性的影响

通过径流小区试验,分析探讨了紫色土横坡和顺坡两种耕作模式下表层(0~20 cm)土壤水稳性团聚体及有机碳含量的特征,为紫色土区坡耕地的有效改造和综合利用提供科学依据。试验结果表明,横坡耕作下土壤水稳性指数K值比顺坡耕作高38.99%,而土壤分散性D值为顺坡耕作的1.64倍,横坡耕作抗蚀性大于顺坡耕作。横坡耕作>0.25 mm水稳性团聚体含量比顺坡耕作增加3.62%,>5 mm、5~3 mm、3~2 mm水稳性团聚体含量横坡耕作均高于顺坡耕作,横坡耕作显著提高>2 mm水稳性团聚体含量。横坡耕作下团聚体结构体破坏率较顺坡耕作减少3.05%,团聚体平均重量直径为顺坡耕作的1.39倍。2种耕作模式下0.5~2 mm团聚体有机碳含量均最高,>0.25 mm不同粒级团聚体有机碳含量百分数均随粒径的减小而减小,均在0.5~0.25 mm粒级下达到最小。横坡和顺坡耕作模式下2~1 mm团聚体有机碳含量无显著差异。横坡耕作较顺坡耕作能够显著增加紫色土>2 mm水稳性团聚体含量,且对有机碳的固持作用更好,有利于土壤结构的改善。     

不同植被恢复模式对红砂岩土壤化学性质及抗蚀特征的影响

通过对不同恢复年限及恢复类型(2a人工恢复湿地松林、5a人工恢复湿地松林、5a自然恢复湿地松林、5a自然恢复荒地和6a种植杨梅园空地)0～30cm红砂岩发育土壤团聚体中有机碳、全磷、全氮分布规律、化学计量比及其与土壤抗蚀性的相关性进行分析,旨在探究红砂岩侵蚀劣地植被恢复过程中土壤养分变化及抗蚀性。结果表明:红砂岩纯裸地土壤养分含量较低,经过不同措施恢复后,土壤理化性质有不同程度的改善。不同类型红砂岩土壤团聚体级配不同。裸地以5 mm粒径团聚体为主,约占60%以上。除自然恢复5a荒地以2～5 mm团聚体为主以外,其余恢复措施的红砂岩土壤均以小于0.25mm粒径微团聚体为主。不同粒径土壤团聚体有机碳、全氮含量均随恢复年限增长呈增加趋势。C、N集中分布在0.25～1 mm团聚体上,尤其是0.5～1 mm团聚体;P则分布较为均匀。采取不同恢复措施后土壤抗蚀性有不同程度的提高,其中结构体破坏率从55.68%降至10%以下。研究区土壤C:N均值为15.0:1;C:P均值为79.7:1;N:P均值为4.0:1。由此可知不同红砂岩发育土壤随着恢复年限而增长,抗蚀性能大幅提升,由于养分主要分布在0.5～5 mm土壤水稳性的团聚体上,而该部分团聚体流失严重,导致土壤养分含量低、土壤抗蚀性差,恢复过程较为困难。     

雨滴机械打击和消散作用对土壤团聚体的破坏特征

土壤团聚体是土壤结构的基本单元,其稳定性是描述土壤抵抗侵蚀过程中破坏作用的重要指标。但溅蚀过程中,雨滴对团聚体的消散和机械打击两种破坏作用的相对贡献及其破坏机制尚未明晰。利用酒精和超纯水作为雨滴形成材料,模拟机械打击单独作用及消散和机械打击共同作用,分别在五个高度(0.5、1、1.5、2和2.5 m)对塿土和黄绵土进行溅蚀实验。结果表明:当降雨动能相同时,塿土的溅蚀率均小于黄绵土。同时,超纯水雨滴对土壤的机械打击和消散共同作用所导致的溅蚀率均大于酒精雨滴单一机械打击作用的溅蚀率。随着降雨动能增加,两种雨滴对两种土壤的溅蚀率均呈幂函数增加;团聚体因消散破坏作用和机械打击作用的溅蚀率均亦随之增加。但两种土壤的消散破坏作用和机械打击作用的贡献率分别随着降雨动能增加而减小和增加。在相同降雨动能时,塿土消散破坏作用的贡献率均大于黄绵土,而机械打击作用贡献率均小于黄绵土。研究结果对深入理解溅蚀过程中团聚体破坏机理及评价溅蚀过程中团聚体稳定性具有重要意义。     

矿粮复合区煤累积对土壤团粒结构的影响

为理解煤对土壤结构的影响,以土壤煤累积现象普遍的焦作矿粮复合区为研究区,选取3种不同程度的煤累积土壤(低累积、中累积和高累积)为研究对象,不含煤的土壤为对照,通过测定0—40 cm土层深度范围的水稳性团聚体组成,并采用分形维数(D)、平均重量直径(MWD)、几何平均直径(GMD)和大团聚体破坏率(PAD)作为团粒结构的评价指标,探讨煤累积对土壤团聚体组成与稳定性的影响。结果表明:煤在土壤中累积可以促进水稳性微团聚体向大团聚体转化,降低团聚体的分形维数,提高团聚体稳定性。深层(20—40 cm)土壤水稳性大团聚体含量的增幅高于表层(0—20 cm)土壤。土壤团聚体稳定性随着煤累积程度的增高表现出先增加后降低的趋势。土壤团聚体的稳定性主要取决于>2 mm粒级水稳性团聚体的含量。总体上,煤在土壤中的累积改善了土壤的团粒结构性状。此外,根据本研究结果,研究区长期运煤、堆煤、洗煤和矿井水灌排等活动导致的"黑土"现象并不能视作煤污染。     

黄土高原吕梁山不同撂荒年限土壤团聚体稳定性及有机碳分布特征

为探究不同撂荒年限土壤结构及有机碳分布特征,试验选取黄土高原吕梁山自然撂荒1、2、3、5、10、15、20 a枣园土壤为研究对象,以清耕作业下的枣园土壤为对照(CK),利用干筛和湿筛法测定并分析各样地0～20 cm土层中土壤团聚体稳定性、团聚体有机碳与土壤总有机碳含量及其相关性。结果表明:撂荒初期,土壤团聚体含量呈波动变化趋势,撂荒3 a后土壤水稳性大团聚体含量(0.25 mm团聚体含量,R_(0.25))及团聚体平均重量直径(MWD)、几何平均直径(GMD)随撂荒年限的增加逐步提高。20 a撂荒地土壤水稳性大团聚体含量占团聚体总量的69.6%,较CK提高了55.2个百分点。土壤总有机碳、团聚体有机碳含量随撂荒年限的延长均呈先降低后增加的趋势,撂荒20 a土壤总有机碳含量达最大值7.88 g/kg;团聚体有机碳含量随团聚体粒径的减小呈先增加后降低的特点,主要集中于1～0.25 mm团聚体内。不同撂荒年限土壤中机械稳定性大团聚体有机碳对土壤总有机碳的贡献率为54.3%～82.2%,较CK(29.3%)提高25.0～52.9个百分点;水稳性大团聚体有机碳对土壤总有机碳的贡献率为17.7%～71.8%,除撂荒1 a和3 a土壤外,其他样地均高于CK (21.1%)。水稳性团聚体MWD、R_(0.25)与土壤总有机碳含量极显著相关(P0.01);水稳性团聚体GMD与土壤总有机碳含量显著相关(P0.05);水稳性团聚体R_(0.25)与2～1、1～0.25和0.25 mm水稳性团聚体有机碳含量极显著相关(P0.01),与5～2 mm团聚体有机碳含量显著相关(P0.05)。可见,撂荒恢复促进了土壤有机碳及水稳性团聚体有机碳含量的提高,从而提高了团聚体的稳定性。     

Impact of Soil Management on Organic Carbon Content and Aggregate Stability

Abstract

Soil cultivation influences organic carbon storage and soil structures. To evaluate the impact of different soil‐management practices on soil organic carbon (SOC) pools and aggregate stability in black soils, SOC in whole soil, various size aggregates, and density‐separated fractions from three long‐term experiments (20 years) was examined. The three soil‐management systems were grassland (GL), bare land (BL), and croplands. The croplands had two treatments: nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer application (NP) and NP together with organic manure (NPM). The SOC in the 0‐ to 10‐cm layer decreased in the order NPM>GL>NP>BL and also declined with the soil depth. The SOC of GL increased by 9.7% as compared to NP after 20 years of natural vegetation restoration. The SOC of NPM increased by 11% over NP after 13 years of organic manure application. The percentages of water‐stable aggregate (>0.25 mm) (WSA_>0.25mm) decreased in the order GL>BL>NPM>NP in the top 0‐ to 20‐cm horizon. WSA_>2mm, the most important fraction for carbon (C) storage in GL and NPM, accounted for 33 and 45% of the whole soil for GL in the depths of 0–10 and 10–20 cm, respectively, and 25 and 18% for NPM in the same soil layers. A significant positive correlation was found between the C stored in WSA_>2mm and total SOC (r=0.81, P<0.05) and between the mean weight diameters (MWD) of aggregates and total SOC (r=0.78, P<0.05). Water‐stable aggregate_0.25–2mm was the largest fraction of WSA_>0.25mm, ranging from 54 to 72% for the 0‐ to 10‐cm layer and 46 to 71% for the 10‐ to 20‐cm layer; thus these aggregates would play a major role in soil sustainability as well as the resistance to soil erosion. The organic carbon (OC) of heavy fraction (HF) accounted for 94–99% of the OC in the WSA_0.25–2mm, whereas free particulate organic matter (fPOM) and occluded particulate organic matter (oPOM) contributed a minor fraction of the OC in the WSA_0.25–2mm, suggesting that C sequestration in HF could enhance the stability of aggregates and C pools in black soil.     

基于高能水分特性法的土壤团聚体结构稳定性研究进展

土壤团聚体稳定性是影响土壤质量、入渗、抗侵蚀能力及根系生长的重要土壤物理性质,同时也是判断土壤是否退化的重要指标。目前国内外关于团聚体稳定性的研究以分析团聚体水稳性为主,团聚体结构稳定性相关研究较少,而使用高能水分特性法(HEMC)测定团聚体结构稳定性重现性高,可检测不同处理间微小差异且试验及计算过程精准可控,在国外已有较多研究。研究通过HEMC法分析了土壤改良剂、土地利用与土壤管理和不同土壤理化性质下团聚体结构稳定性的特征及影响因子,结果表明不同处理间土壤团聚体结构稳定性差异较明显,且有机质与黏粒含量是影响团聚体结构稳定性的主要因素,而国内还鲜有相关报道。该研究就HEMC方法的原理、测定过程、数据处理、指标计算及相关研究进展进行了总结,并结合我国大力提倡保护耕地资源、修复退化土壤及实施植被恢复的大背景,对利用该方法进行土壤结构、土壤质量、土壤抗蚀性等方面的研究提出了一些建议,期望能够推广利用该方法,为土壤质量演变、构建和评价健康土壤提供基础数据支持。     

Effects of Different Soil Amendments Application on Soil Aggregate Stability and Soil Consistency under Wetting and Drying Altered Planting System

ABSTRACT

How to address improving degraded soil has become an increased concern for agricultural production. Biomass ash is used for remediation of degraded soil and improvement in soil structure. To investigate the responses of aggregate stability and soil consistency by biomass ash and other amendments, a pot experiment with a degraded soil and seven treatments including a control (CK), no fertilizer or amendment; only N-P-K fertilizer (F); N-P-K fertilizer with lime (FL), lime and zeolite (FLZ), biomass ash (FBA), biological fertilizer (FBF) and peat ash (FPA), respectively, were conducted. Stability of soil aggregate, water-holding capacity, and soil consistency was analyzed within a lettuce-water spinach-lettuce planting system. Results showed that amendment additions significantly raised the fractions of >0.25 mm soil aggregate. Applications of biomass ash reduced the percentage of aggregate destruction (PAD) by 45.07%-59.97% and reduced the value of fractal dimension (D) by 1.79–2.16 during whole cultivation period, indicating the stability of soil aggregates. Soil organic matter (SOM) plays a key role in soil consistency because of significant relationship between SOM and soil consistency indicators including plastic limit (PL), liquid limit (LL), plasticity index (PI) and liquidity index (LI). While, hydrodynamic characters and potential low clay content occurred in the soil treated with biomass ash during high moisture conditions. These findings suggest that the application of biomass ash improved the stability of soil aggregate, which improved the structural stability of degraded soil but may pose a risk to soil erosion by water force.     

侵蚀程度对红壤团聚体分布及养分含量的影响

[目的]探讨不同侵蚀程度下红壤团聚体和养分的变化规律,为侵蚀红壤的肥力提升和合理开发利用提供理论依据。[方法]将红壤表层按照不同深度剥离来模拟不同土壤侵蚀程度,比较分析不同侵蚀程度下团聚体稳定性、有机质和各养分的变化规律及其相互关系。[结果]各侵蚀程度红壤团聚体干筛粒级分布规律大体相似,以≥2mm粒级团聚体为优势粒级,与无明显侵蚀土壤相比,强烈侵蚀土壤≥2mm水稳性团聚体含量降低近1/3;随着土壤侵蚀程度增加,土壤碳、氮、磷等养分含量均表现出逐渐减少的规律,其中强烈侵蚀土壤有机质、全氮和全磷含量减少了30%左右,碱解氮含量减少了近50%,速效磷含量减少了80%以上。相关分析表明,土壤有机质、全氮、全磷、碱解氮含量均与≥2 mm团聚体含量、WSA,MWD和GMD值具有较好的正相关性(p0.05),与D和PAD值呈负相关。[结论]不同侵蚀程度对红壤团聚体分布及养分含量有一定影响,可通过增加有机肥来改善侵蚀红壤结构,提高土壤肥力。
