- Abstract:

In order to explore the water conservation capacity of litter layer in different shrub forests, three shrub stands were selected as research samples. The indoor soaking method and double-ring knife method were used to measure the relevant indicators of the water conservation of the litter layers and soil layers of three shrubs. The results showed that:(1) the three important factors, accumulation the maximum water holding capacity and the effective storage capacity of the litter layer, decreased in the order:Vitex negundo L. var. heterophylla > Lespedeza bicolor > Spiraea trifida; (2) the water holding capacity and water holding rate of 0.25 h decrease in the order:Vitex negundo L. var. heterophylla > Lespedeza bicolor > Spiraea trifida, and the water holding capacity of the litter layer has the function relationship with the water immersion time, the function is expressed as Q=alnt+b (R2>0.97), the relation between the water holding rate of the litter layer and the water immersion time can be described by the power function which is expressed as V=Ktn (R2>0.99); (3) the soil effective water holding capacity decreases in the order:Vitex negundo L. var. heterophylla > Spiraea trifida > Lespedeza bicolor; the initial infiltration rate and steady infiltration rate of forest stands decrease in the sequence:Vitex negundo L. var. heterophylla > Spiraea trifida > Lespedeza bicolor; there is a good functional relationship between infiltration time and infiltration rate of soil in the stands, and the relationship is expressed as:y=a·xb (R2>0.94). The most abundant water source conservation abilities of the litter layer and the soil layer are observed in the Vitex negundo L. var. heterophylla shrub forest.
