Effect of slope position on soil properties and soil moisture regime of Stagnosol in the vineyard

Abstract Hillslope hydrology in agricultural landscapes is complex due to a variety of hydropedological processes and field management possibilities. The aim was test if there are any differences soil properties water regime along the hillslope compare vineyard rows (vine) with inter-rows (grass) area for those properties. study determined that significant contents particle fractions, pH, humus content slope ( P < 0.0001), lower confidence level bulk density (P 0.05). Differences between row inter-row space were humus, silt content, but sand clay not determined. among five positions (all Where upper (e. g., P1) higher than on positions. Higher observed at positions, associated content. However, it can be concluded retention moisture more influenced by local-scale (primarily texture) variability crop (row/inter-row) position slope.
