The plant litter incorporate in soil generally has great effect on soil properties. During
the process of vegetation restoration in the hilly region of the Loess Plateau, the distribution of
plant litter would be changed and hence affect the soil property. Four typical vegetation
communities, Robinia pseudoacacia plantation, Caragana intermedia plantation, Artemisia
gmelinii community and Bothriochloa ischaemum community were selected to study the
distribution of litter on the slope (ranged from 40 to 80 m) and to discuss the effects of plant litter
incorporated in soil on soil properties. The results showed that: 1) The volume (range from
143.89 to 833.04 g/m 2 ), coverage (range from 36% to 63%) and thickness (range from 0.77 to
2.03 cm) of aboveground litter in Robinia pseudoacacia plantation were the highest, followed by
those in Caragana intermedia plantation, Artemisia gmelinii community and Bothriochloa
ischaemum community. For the biomass of incorporated litter (ranged from 178.80 to 657.21
g/m 2 ) and the litter incorporation depth (ranged from 1.33 to 2.29 cm), the maximum values were
found in Robinia pseudoacacia plantation, then followed by those in Artemisia gmelinii
community, Caragana intermedia plantation and Bothriochloa ischaemum community. The
amount of litter incorporated in soil accounts for the highest proportion of the total volume of
litter (ranged from 45.91% to 74.02%). The vegetation communities with the ratio of the amount
of litter incorporated in soil to total litter volume in descending order were Artemisia gmelinii
plantation, Caragana intermedia plantation, Bothriochloa ischaemum community, and Robinia
pseudoacacia community. 2) The aboveground litter volume and the amount of litter incorporated
in soil on lower slopes were 1.05-2.48 times and 1.04-1.41 times higher than those on higher
slope. While for the middle slope, the aboveground litter volume and the amount of litter
incorporated in soil varied greatly and no significant relationship was found between middle
slope and upper slope or lower slope due to the influence of runoff scouring and the process of
sediment detachment, transport and deposition. The aboveground litter volume increased
exponentially with the increase of litter coverage (P<0.01). The amount of litter incorporated in
soil increased with the aboveground litter volume, and the relationship between them is a
logarithm function (P<0.01). 3) With the increasing of litter incorporated in soil, soil properties of
bulk density, cohesive force and WAS-GMD decreased linearly (P<0.01). The soil organic carbon
and total nitrogen content increased linearly with the increase of litter incorporated in soil in
grasslands (Artemisia gmelinii community and Bothriochloa ischaemum community), while no
significant relationship was found between Robinia pseudoacacia plantation and Caragana
intermedia plantation. This study would provide theoretical basis for assessing ecological effect
of vegetation restoration and improving soil erosion model on the Loess Plateau.
