- Abstract:
-
Three typical vegetation types (forest grass, and shrub) in the three types of erosion environments (hilltop, hillside, and ravine slope), and 0—30 cm soil layers of forestland, grassland, and shrub land in Liudaogou watershed on the Loess Plateau of China were selected. The response of five fractions of soil nitrogen (total nitrogen, organic nitrogen, mineralizable nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen) to the erosion environment was studied. The results showed that: (1) the contents of total nitrogen and organic nitrogen in the forestland soil were the highest, which was significantly higher than those in grassland and shrub land, the contents of soil nitrogen in different vegetation types varied with erosion environments; (2) the contents of mineralizable and nitrate nitrogen in forestland were higher than those in grassland and shrub land; the ammonium nitrogen content in shrub land was higher than those in forestland and grassland; (3) soil bulk density and pH were significantly negatively correlated with total nitrogen, organic nitrogen, mineralizable nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen; organic carbon and C/N were associated with total nitrogen, organic nitrogen, mineralizable nitrogen, and ammonium; there was a significant positive correlation between nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen. (4) The ratio of mineralizable nitrogen to total nitrogen increased with the increase of total nitrogen content, and the proportion of ammonium nitrogen in nitrogen decreased with the increase of total nitrogen. The response of soil nitrogen in different vegetation types to the erosion environments can provide scientific basis for long-term agricultural production, ecological restoration and reconstruction on the Loess Plateau.
