- Abstract:
-
Using the method of soil core sampling, we analyzed the fine root biomass, soil moisture content, soil bulk density and soil nutrient in 0—40 cm soil layers of the three kinds of main arbor vegetation (Picea crassifolia, Poplar and Sabina przewalskii) in the middle west of the Qilian Mountain, and compared the characteristics of the three vegetation types. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between total fine root biomass and live fine root biomass of the three arbor vegetations in the study area, while the soil moisture and soil bulk density were also significantly negatively correlated with fine root biomass. Both soil nutrients and soil water all played the positive role in the development of the fine root biomass. The root biomass of three fine vegetation types mainly distributed in the 20—40 cm soil layers, the fine root biomass of poplar was 154 times of the Picea crassifolia, 308 times of Sabina przewalskii. The soil bulk densities of three vegetation types were significantly different with the rank of Sd Yang > Sd Bai > Sd Shan. Soil moisture appeared significantly different in 0—10 cm layers, it was much higher in Picea crassifolia forest than those under the other two types of vegetation. In addition, the soil carbon content and nitrogen content of three vegetation types were also significantly different.
