Name:
SP06e Mechanisms of soil erosion as a function of species richness and species composition in subtropical forests
Description:
During the first phase of BEF China (2008-2010), we have concentrated our research on the
modification of the kinetic energy of precipitation by its pass through the tree canopy. All
measurements were conducted in the CSPs under natural rainfall conditions because the
Main Experiment was only being planted and tree communities had not established yet.
Verification and quantification of the effect of biodiversity on soil erosion was done using a
combined approach of newly designed splash cups developed within the project and laser
precipitation monitors (LPM) which has been rented for calibration of the splash cups. Runoff
measurements in the CSPs and on the experimental site could not be undertaken, since only
one PhD student was funded during the first stage of BEF China. However, new runoff plots
were developed according to the specification of our first proposal. Initial runoff
measurements have been carried out in the Main Experiment to test a prototype of a runoff
plot and adjusted it to the needs of BEF China. The results will serve as reference for the
activities during phase II. Within the baseline studies, geomorphological mapping, soil
mapping, soil sampling and soil analyses were conducted. The data sets available at time of
proposal writing on soil properties, pedogenesis, and geomorphology as well as first
indicators for historical site management cover all CSPs and parts of block A of the Main
Experiment. Further, two climate station were assembled and adjusted at Gutianshan
National Nature Reserve (GNNR) and experimental site A as well as a topographical survey.
