Effects of Slope Position on Spatial Distribution of Soil Water and Vegetation in Sandy Land
[Objective] To study the impacts of micro-topography on plant functional groups
biomass and soil water content in order to provide theoretical reference for environmental construction and reasonable development in the Hunshadake sandy land area.[Methods] The investigations were conducted in sandy land
in Inner Mongolia grassland ecosystem research station(IMGERS). Soil water content
biomass and plant functional groups were investigated under different micro-topographic conditions.[Results] The bottom of hill was dominated by perennial grass
while the top of hill was dominated by perennial grasses and annual or biennial herb. Shrub
subshrub and perennial grasses were distributed on the north-facing slopes
while shrub
subshrub
perennial grasses and annual or biennial herb were distributed on the south-facing slopes. The soil water content(0-50 cm) was showed as follows:bottom of the slope >north-facing slope >south-facing slope >top of the slope
and same trend was showed in biomass. Coefficient of variation of soil water content(0-50 cm) was the greatest at the top of the slope
while it was the lowest at the bottom of the slope. Aedbetween biomass and soil water content
and significant linear correlation existed between biomass an soil water content in top soil(0-5 cm)
soil at the depth of 5-10 cm and 20-30 cm(p<0.01).[Conclusion] Micro-topography influences soil water content and florisitics
and there is a significant positive correlation between soil water content and biomass.
