Soil Nutrient Restriction Factors in Serious Eroded and Degraded Pinus Massoniana Woodland
[Objective] We aim to reveal soil nutrient limiting factors of vegetation restoration in Pinus massoniana forests
in order to provide a theoretical basis for the restoration of the degraded P. massoniana forests.[Methods] The experimental analysis of chemical properties was conducted in four completely different forest vegetation plots at 0-5
5-20 and 20-40 cm depths of soil layers in the granite weathered red soil region of Hetian Town
Changting County
Fujian Province.[Results] (1) The organic matter
total nitrogen
total phosphorus
available phosphorus
total potassium
available potassium were lower in the degraded P. massoniana forest soil. The ability of soil keeping fertilizer was poor
and fertility was lost easily with soil erosion. (2) In all plots
the variation of organic matter
total nitrogen
total phosphorus
available phosphorus
potassium showed as:poor recovery < moderate recovery < relative good recovery < good recovery. (3) Organic matter
total nitrogen
total phosphorus
available phosphorus
available potassium showed significant positive correlations(p<0.01)
and the load on the first principal component were 0.921
0.931
0.974
0.906 and 0.874
respectively. (4) The variation of total K in four restored plots was not significant in surface soil
and there was not obvious rule in the other soil layer. The pH value of good restored plot was minimum
and vegetation under P. massoniana could grow well.[Conclusion] Organic
total nitrogen
total phosphorus
available phosphorus
available potassium are the main limiting factors in vegetation restoration
and the total potassium
pH value are not the main limiting factors in vegetation restoration.
