- Abstract:
-
Forest soil erosion is an important indicator for evaluating ecological benefits of forest hydrology. The comparison of soil and water losses between the karst forest and shrub-grass vegetation was carried out in Mulun National Nature Reserve from 2006 to 2010 through the slope surface runoff plots. The results showed that: (1) the average surface runoff in Karst forest was 1.77 mm/a (0.78~2.85 mm/a), which occupied 0.10% of the local average annual rainfall and reduced 69.8% compared with the shrub-grass slope (5.87 mm); (2) the average soil erosion in Karst forest was 17.7 kg/(hm2·a), 9.9~28.5 kg/(hm2·a), decreasing 69.8% compared with shrub-grass soil erosion (58.7 kg/hm2·a); (3) the average total nutrient loss (N, P, K) in Karst forest was 0.019 kg/(hm2·a), reducing 70.3% compared with the shrub-grass (0.064 kg/hm2·a); (4) soil and water loss and nutrient loss mostly concentrated from May to August, accounting for 76.3%,92.7% of the total annual loss, which matched the rainfall pattern in the same area.
