Soil Infiltration Properties Are Affected by Typical Plant Communities in a Semi-Arid Desert Grassland in China

A process of infiltration from the soil surface to form water is known as infiltration; this only way for plants absorb and use water. This closely related nutrient migration, runoff, erosion. The objectives study were quantify effect typical plant communities on performance, reveal interaction between rate characteristics roots, determine primary influencing elements Xilamuren grassland. ring knife method was used at 0–30 cm layer six vegetation communities. results indicated that Koeleria macrantha community highest depth 0–5 cm, while Convolvulus ammannii lowest, reaching 4.25 mm·min−1 0.53 mm·min−1, respectively. different gradually declined with increment depth. strongest correlations found bulk density, total porosity, organic matter, root characteristics, rate. initial content, capillary clay content factors acting in region. Other indirectly impacted by modifying which a crucial limiting factor determining research study’s findings will give theoretical practical assistance prevention management deterioration grassland restoration area.
