- Abstract:
-
Cultivation is the other factor influencing grassland soil degradation. Soil structure could be changed by cultivation. And contents of clay and silt would be decreased greatly, and the particles of 0.002~0.02 mm and<0.002 mm increased obviously. With ages of cultivation, soil structure would evolve to be coarse. When cultivated grassland was transformed to forest land, the particles of<0.002 mm in the 0-2 cm and 2-4 cm layers increase. Moreover, soil fertility was decreased greatly, such as depletion of soil organic constituents. In addition, the loss rate of SOC was also accelerated by cultivation. The change of soil structure of the cultiveated grassland can indicate the extent of destruction of soil structure due to cultivation and erosion.
