Soil Physical and Chemical Properties of High-mountain Moso Bamboo Forests at Different Slope Positions and Soil Depths
[ Objective] To study the effects of slope position and soil depth on the soil physical and chemical properties and basic chemical property of moso bamboo forest,and to provide scientific basis for the management of high-mountain moso bamboo forest. [ Method] By taking the soil in high-mountain moso bamboo forest in north of Fujian as test materials, soil samples of the different slope positions were collected and analyzed. [ Result] The physical properties of soil at lower slope and upper slope were better than those at the middle slope. With the increase of soil depth and slope position, the content of organic matter, N, P, K, B, Cu and Fe decreased, but the content of Si raised with increase of soil depth. It was proved that the physical and chemical properties was the highest at the lower slope position, and worst at the middle slope. [ Conclusion] In the management of high-mountain moso bamboo forest, it is very important to strengthen the management of the slope protection to prevent soil degradation.
