湘中红壤丘陵区不同土地利用类型对土壤特性的影响

以湖南省衡阳县武水流域为例,对湘中红壤丘陵区5种土地利用类型的土壤物理性质和抗蚀性能进行了研究,结果表明,土地利用类型对土壤物理性质有显著影响,花岗岩红壤的结构随植被演退和人为耕作的干扰而退化。与林地相比,旱地和坡耕地等耕作土壤砂粒含量增加,黏粒含量相对减少,表土呈现砂化;与林地和疏林地相比,耕作土壤的大粒径水稳性团聚体减少,水稳性团聚体平均重量直径减小,结构稳定性下降;不同土地利用类型按土壤毛管孔隙度和持水性能大小排序为林地>疏林地>荒地>旱地>坡耕地。研究结果说明良好的植被条件与合理的土地利用能通过降低土壤容重、增加有机质以及细颗粒含量来改善土壤的团聚能力,并增加土壤蓄水量,从而提高土壤的抗蚀能力。

Influence of Different Land Uses to Soil Properties in Red Soil Hilly Region of Central Hu'nan Province

The paper studies the physical properties and anti-erodibility of soil of five types of different land uses in red soil hilly region in the center of Hu'nan by taking Wushui Watershed in Hengyang County as an example.The outcomes show that land use types have obvious effect to the soil properties and the structure of granite red soil is degraded along with the reduction of vegetation cover and human disturbance.a) Comparing with woodlands,the sand contents of dry lands and sloping farmlands increase while t...
