Effects of Land Use Types on Soil Water and Aboveground Biomass in Loess Hilly Region
[Objective] Soil moisture under different land use patterns were measured and its links with the characteristics of plant communities were studied to provide guidance for the vegetation restoration and rehabilitation. [Methods] Based on field investigation
mathematical analysis was used. [Results] The aboveground dry biomass of main vegetation in Zhifanggou watershed ranged from 310.0 to 10036.2 g/m2 among ten land use types
and the mean aboveground dry biomass ranked as: forest land >shrub land >farmland >artificial grassland>natural grassland. There was a significant positive correlation between aboveground fresh biomass and vegetation height(R2=0.967 4
p<0.01). Soil moisture in 0-100 cm of different land use types had high content and varied greatly. Comparatively
the soil moisture content in 100-500 cm was nearly constant. The amount of most easily available soil moisture in check-dam and terrace with Z. mays planted were 221.73 mm and 221.99 mm
respectively. The soil moistures in C. korshinskii and R. pseudoacacia were extremely low
with hardly-available soil moisture contents of 311.44 mm and 333.09 mm
respectively. Soil moistures in the other six land use types were classified as easily-moderately available soil moisture. [Conclusion] In the loess hilly region
all vegetation types
to a certain extent
can improve local ecological environment
but some artificial forest and shrub can lead to the excessive consumption of deep soil moisture
and are not propitious to the sustainable development of vegetation.
