Abstract

Abstract: It is of great significance to investigate the volume and water holding characteristics of litters for the accurate evaluation of forest water conservation function. With Pinus tabuliformis, Robinia pseudoacacia, Populus davidiana, Quercus wutaishanica and Platycladus orientalis as the research objects in the Loess Plateau of Western Shanxi Province, we analyzed the thickness of undecomposed layer and semi-decomposed layer, the volume of litter, and the relationship between the litter water-holding characteristics and the immersion time for different stands by the combination of sample survey and indoor immersion test. The results showed that the total thickness of litter layer was 4.06-5.12 cm, with the thickest layer in R. pseudoacacia forest and the thinnest in P. tabuliformis forest. The storage volume of litter was the largest in Q. wutaishanica (24.39 t·hm^-2), followed by P. davidiana (23.64 t·hm^-2), P. orientalis (22.51 t·hm^-2), and R. pseudoacacia (22.48 t·hm^-2), and the smallest in P. tabuliformis (20.42 t·hm^-2). The volume in the undecomposed layer was less than that in the semi-decomposed layer. The maximum water holding of litter was 40.41-79.56 t·hm^-2, with the highest of Q. wutaishanica and the lowest of P. tabuliformis. The effective interception rate of litter was 108%-188%. The changes of water capacity and water absorption rate of litter were most rapid in Q. wutaishanica, P. davidiana and R. pseudoacacia, and the changes were faster in the semi-decomposed layer than in the undecomposed layer. The water-holding capacity of litter in five forests was following an order of Q. wutaishanica>P. davidiana>R. pseudoacacia>P. orientalis>P. tabuliformis.

Key words: litter, storge volume, maximum water-holding capacity, water interception capacity, loess area of Western Shanxi Province
