[Effects of soil surface electric field on aggregates breakdown and water erosion in black soil region of Northeast China].

Through quantitatively adjust soil electric field, we investigated the effect of soil electric field on aggregate stability and soil erosion in black soil region of Northeast China with the experiments of wet sieving and rainfall simulation. Results showed that: 1) Soil surface potential absolute value and electric field strength increased with the decreases of electrolyte concentration in bulk solution. Soil electric field strength could reach to 10 V·m.

[Ecological stoichiometric characteristics of plants and soil in grassland under different restoration types in Yunwu Mountain, China].

Carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry from the aboveground parts of plants, roots, plant litter and soils, as well as their relationships were studied in grassland under four distinct types of vegetation recovery including natural grassland, grassland with shrubs, grassland after grazing exclusion, and abandoned cropland in Yunwu Mountain, China. The results showed that there was significant correlation among the ecological stoichiometric characteristics of soils with the aboveground parts and roots. The relation between the aboveground parts and roots was closer in P concentration than in N concentration.

[Heidaigou Opencast Coal Mine: Soil Enzyme Activities and Soil Physical and Chemical Properties Under Different Vegetation Restoration].

Choosing the soils under different vegetation recovery of Heidaigou dump as the research objects, we mainly analyzed their basic physical and chemical properties and enzyme activities with the method of Analysis of Variance as well as their relations using Pearson correlation analysis and path analysis hoping to uncover the driving factors of the differences between soil enzyme activities under different vegetation restoration, and provide scientific suggestions for the plant selection as well as make a better evaluation to the reclamation effect. The results showed that: (1) Although the artificial vegetation restoration improved the basic physical and chemical properties of the soils while increasing their enzyme activities to a certain extent, the soil conditions still did not reach the level of the natural grassland; (2) Contents of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (TN) of the seabuckthorns were the nearest to those of the grassland, which reached 54. 22% and 70.
