- Abstract:
-
The impacts of tourism disturbance on Poyang Lake National Wetland Park soil and plant properties were analyzed based on the field investigation and the laboratory analysis. The results showed that: (1) the amount of vegetation of Poyang Lake National Wetland Park reduced under the tourist disturbance, and vegetation richness index, evenness index, diversity index and dominance index were lower than CK, tourist disturbance did not significantly affect the tree layer and shrub layer (p > 0.05), but significantly affect the field layer (p < 0.05); (2) tourist disturbance did not significantly affect soil electrical conductivity and total phosphorus (p > 0.05), and soil pH, soil nutrients and available nutrients significantly reduced (p < 0.05), soil bulk density significantly increased (p < 0.05) under the tourist disturbance, the soil heavy metal content and soil comprehensive pollution index significantly increased (p < 0.05); (3) soil available nutrient contents were sensitive to tourist disturbance, which caused that the soil ‘surface accumulation’ disappeared; (4) the soil invertase, invertase, urease, acid phosphatase activity and microbial activity of tourist disturbance zone were significantly lower than CK (p < 0.05), and soil invertase activity could be used as the indicator of soil health of Poyang Lake National Wetland Park through the change of soil enzyme activity; (5) the soil microbial number of tourist disturbance zone and CK were based on bacteria (more than 90%) with the tourist disturbance zone < CK, which suggested that the soil microbial number of Poyang Lake National Wetland Park reduced under tourist disturbance, and tourist disturbance caused the different impacts on different microorganism coenobium.
