Impacts of artificial Caragana intermedia stand on soil texture evolution in desert steppe by Song Naiping, Wu Xudong, Pan Jun, Qu Wenjie, Zhou Juan, An Chaoping

“…Restoration of soil habitat is the foundation for ecosystem being fully restored, and soil texture is the core indicator to evaluate soil properties. In this study, soil texture evolution process and effects after planting C. intermedia stand were investigated to understand its role in desert steppe ecosystem.Series of different stand ages (10 a, 17 a, 27 a) and space sequences (from the inside via the edge to the outside of shrubs) were designed to analyze the spatiotemporal rules of soil particle composition, increment in silt and clay, volume fractal dimension of soil particles, as well as the contents of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (STN).The results showed that: 1) The percentages of fine sand (ranging from 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm) were higher than those of silt and clay, coarse sand and gravel sand in the soil particle composition. …”
