- Abstract:
-
Using the methods of field investigation and indoor analysis, we examined the litter and soil characteristics of several different vegetation types in the Maotai water function areas. Results showed that there were some differences in litter characteristics for different vegetation types, in which the litter storage, effective water holding capacity and maximum water holding capacity of cedar forests were the greatest, while the litter storage of Bambusa pervariabilis×Dendrocalamopsis oldhami Shelterbelt and the effective water holding capacity and maximum water holding capacity of imperata grass were the smallest; the water absorption rates of litter for different vegetation types decreased with a power function of time. As for the soil characteristics, nutrient contents of mixed forest were generally higher, and those of pine and white oak thickets were lower; the permeability of soil layer in cedar forests and mixed forest were stronger while that of imperata grass was the weakest.
