Abstract:Compared with Cryptomeria fortune and Cupressus funebris artificial forest and farmland, the changes of soil physical properties under Toona sinensiss plantation with different planting ages were studied. The results showed: 1) soil bulk density of Toona sinensiss plantation reduced with the increase of planting age, soil bulk density in the layer of 0-40 cm was greatest under the planting age 4 years of Toona sinensiss plantation but was lowest of Cupressus funebris plantation with, which was 1.58 g/cm3 and 1.31 g/cm3 respectively. 2) With the increase of planting age, soil porosity, water holding capacity and water storage capacity increased gradually. With the increase of soil depth, soil porosity, water holding capacity and water storage capacity of different forests and farmland decreased gradually. 3) In the layer of 0-40 cm, soil total and uncapillary porosity of Cupressus funebris plantation were highest, then followed by Toona sinensiss plantation and farmland. However, soil capillary porosity of Toona sinensiss plantation was highest and that of Cryptomeria fortune plantation was lowest. 4) In the layer of 0-40 cm, the order of soil maximum water holding capacity, capillary water holding capacity and field water capacity was Cupressus funebris plantation > Toona sinensiss plantation > Cryptomeria fortune plantation > farmland, but soil water storage capacity was Toona sinensiss plantation > Cryptomeria fortune plantation > farmland > Cupressus funebris plantation. 5) The soil physical on Toona sinensiss plantation was getting better with the increase in planting time of forest-belts, much better than Cryptomeria fortune plantation and farmland, only certain indicators were poorer in Cupressus funebris plantation.
