Comparative Study on Water-holding Capacity of Litters in Six Different Mixed Forests for Coastal Protection
[Objective] Comparing the water-holding capacity of litters in six different bamboo forests mixed with Casuarina equisetifolia is of great importance to tree species selection in coastal protection forest.[Methods] By setting the standard plots
samples collection and laboratory immersion experiment
original water-holding rate
water-absorbing characteristic and the water-losing characteristic of litters in 6 mixed forest were measured to compare the water-holding capacity of litters in six different coastal protection mixed forests.[Results] The forest with maximum water-holding rate was Dendrocalamus minor var. amoenus
followed by the Dendrocalamopsis vario-striata
Dendrocalamus brandisii
Bambusa oldhami
Dendrocalamus latiflorus
Bambusa beecheyana var. pubescens. while the forest with higher original water content is D. brandisii
followed by D. minor var.amoenus
B. oldhami
B. beecheyana var.pubescens
D. vario-striata
D. latiflorus. In absorbing and natural drying process
water-holding rate
water-absorbing speed
water-losing rate and water-losing speed of all kinds of litters in mix forest increased rapidly in the first two hours. From then on
the rates slowed down with prolonged immersion time
and gradually became stabilized after 16 hours.[Conclusion] Water-holding rate and water-losing rate of litters increased following a log function with the time immersed in water
and the water-absorbing speed rate and water-losing speed followed a power function
