| 英文摘要 | Soil quality evaluation is an effective pathway to understanding the status of soil function and ecosystem productivity. Numerous studies have been made in managed ecosystems and land cover to quantify its effects on soil quality. However, little is coincident regarding soil quality assessment methods and its compatibility in highly heterogeneous soil. This paper used the soil survey database of Taihang Mountains as a case study to: (i) Examine the feasibility of soil quality evaluation with two different indicator methods: Total data set (TDS) and minimum data set (MDS); and (ii) analyze the controlling factors of regional soil quality. Principal component analysis (PCA) and the entropy method were used to calculate soil quality index (SQI). SQI values assessed from the TDS and MDS methods were both significantly correlated with normalized difference vegetation index (p < 0.001), suggesting that both indices were effective to describe soil quality and reflect vegetation growth status. However, the TDS method represented a slightly more accurate assessment than MDS in terms of variance explanation. Boosted regression trees (BRT) models and path analysis showed that soil type and land cover were the most important controlling factors of soil quality, within which soil type had the greatest direct effect and land cover had the most indirect effect. Compared to MDS, TDS is a more sensitive method for assessing regional soil quality, especially in heterogeneous mountains. Soil type is the fundamental factor to determining soil quality. Vegetation and land cover indirectly modulate soil properties and soil quality. |
