Abstract:Abstract:By the methods of field survey and soaking indoor,this paper studied the hydro ecological effect of five kinds of Pinnus massoniana plantation in Danjiangkou Reservoir Area of Hubei Province, including litter water holding capacity,soil physical properties, soil water holding capacity, surface runoff and soil erosion. The results were showed as follows: ①There were significant differences in maximum water holding capacity of litter layer among different types of Pinnus massoniana plantation. The range of variation of maximum water holding capacity of litter layer was 45.83~93.32 t·hm-2, and the sequence of maximum water holding capacity of litter layer of five kinds of Pinnus massoniana plantation first was decomposed mixed forest of pine and cypress, second was mixed broadleaf conifer forest, third was low density Pinnus massoniana stand, fourth was medium density Pinnus massoniana stand,the last was high density Pinnus massoniana stand, The effective retaining content in litter layer was ranging from 29.83 t·hm-2 to 41.79 t·hm-2, the sequence of which of five kinds of Pinnus massoniana plantation first was the highest medium density Pinnus massoniana stand,the second was mixed forest of pine and cypress,the third was mixed broadleaf conifer forest, the fourth was low density Pinnus massoniana stand,the last was high density Pinnus massoniana stand. ②With the increase of soil depth, soil bulk density increased, while total porosity decreased gradually. Soil water storage capacity of different types of Pinnus massoniana was significantly different, the order first was mixed broadleaf conifer forest,the second was low density Pinnus massoniana stand,the third was medium density Pinnus massoniana stand,the fourth was mixed forest of pine and cypress,the last was high density Pinnus massoniana stand, and soil water storage capacity of mixed broadleaf conifer forest was about 1.25 times higher than that of high density Pinnus massoniana stand. ③Surface runoff and soil erosion of different forest types was respectively 14.68~29.56 m3·hm-2 and 2.01~4.15 m3·hm-2, and oak secondary forest was the best, the mixed forest of pine and cypress followed, Pinnus massoniana stand was the worst. In general, comprehensive utilization of selective cutting and artificially induced natural regeneration methods, which is beneficial to gradually induce Pinnus massoniana stand to mixed broadleaf conifer forest growth, can effectively enhance soil and water conservation function.
