Revealing the optimal strategy for tree plantations on controlling soil erosion in China: A meta-analysis
Tree plantation has increased globally, driven by a desire to supply multiple ecosystem services including soil erosion control. However, how to plant trees can more effectively mitigate soil erosion still lacks systematic investigation. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis consisting of 412 paired observations from 80 studies to rigorously compare the effects of tree plantations on soil erosion control across different plantation approaches in China. The results showed that plantation age and ground cover type were the primary factors influencing the efficiency of tree plantations on runoff and sediment reduction. Mature plantations (>20 years) showed more efficiency in runoff (80.9 %) and sediment (97.2 %) reduction than young plantations (<10 years). The benefit of tree plantations with grass cover on runoff reduction was 70 %, while the capacity of plantations without ground cover was not significant. In addition, tree plantations in areas with steep slope, low mean annual precipitation, high soil sand content, and low soil organic carbon had better benefits on soil erosion control. Loess Plateau and Karst areas suffer the most severe water erosion in China, with distinct environmental conditions. This paper further revealed the targeted plantation strategy for these two regions: tree plantations in Karst areas should focus on the lithophyticity and drought tolerance of tree species, in the Loess Plateau should consider the trade-off between water consumption and soil erosion control.
期刊介绍:
Catena publishes papers describing original field and laboratory investigations and reviews on geoecology and landscape evolution with emphasis on interdisciplinary aspects of soil science, hydrology and geomorphology. It aims to disseminate new knowledge and foster better understanding of the physical environment, of evolutionary sequences that have resulted in past and current landscapes, and of the natural processes that are likely to determine the fate of our terrestrial environment.
Papers within any one of the above topics are welcome provided they are of sufficiently wide interest and relevance.
