Abstract:: In order to understand the impacts of tourist activities on ecological environment, sampling and lab analyses were conducted to survey the soil and plant near the Xiangshan Park. The results were as follows: (1) the richness index and diversity index in the grassland had significantly reduced (p<0.05) under tourist activities, and tourist activities had no effect on dominance index and evenness index (p>0.05); (2) the litter thickness and soil moisture content had significantly decreased(p<0.05) and soil bulk density and pH had significantly increased (p<0.05); (3) soil organic carbon, total nitrogen and total potassium had significantly decreased (p<0.05) and tourist activities had no effect on soil total phosphorus (p>0.05); (4) soil nutrients of tourist activity areas and control areas declined with the increase of soil depth which were mainly concentrated in the 0—5 cm soil layer and showed the surface accumulation, while soil nutrients decreased sharply below 5 cm depth. In the same soil layer, soil nutrients of tourist activities area were richer than those of the control area, we could concluded that tourist activities had no effect on profile distribution patterns of soil nutrients; (5) correlation analysis showed that soil nutrients of tourism activities area were significantly positive linear correlation with those in the control areas (p < 0.01), which suggested that tourism activities had the effects on soil ecological system and the soil factors were in dynamic balance, respectively, however, this effect had not changed interaction effect of the soil nutrients.
