Seasonal and Spatial Variations in Soil Biochemical Properties in Areas with Different Degrees of Mining Subsidence in Central China
Social Science Research Network(2022)
摘要
Land subsidence due to underground mining results in soil nutrient loss and reduced soil fertility. Land reclamation, which refers to the improvement of soil nutrients through targeted measures, requires spatial and temporal distribution information on the soil properties. However, this has not yet been studied. Therefore, the spatial autocorrelation of soil chemical and biological properties was examined in the Pingdingshan coal mining area during four seasons in China from 80 collected and analyzed soil samples. The spatial autocorrelation was determined by the global and local Moran's indices. Spatial clustering and variability were analyzed with ArcGIS 10.2 (Environmental Systems Research Institute, ESRI, USA) and GeoDa 7.0 software (Center for Spatial Data Science in University of Chicago, USA). Soil pH and the soil total carbon (TC) content, soil total nitrogen (TN) content, soil available phosphorus (AP) content, and soil alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen (AN) content were measured as soil chemical properties. The soil biological properties included the quantities of bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi. The soil chemical and biological properties showed a strong spatial autocorrelation during the four seasons. "High-high" and "low-low" were the dominant autocorrelation types that were distributed in serious and light subsidence areas. The soil properties decreased as the mining subsidence degree increased. Both the soil TC and soil AP contents were highest in spring, the soil TN content was highest in autumn, and the soil AN content was highest in summer. These results provide a reliable theoretical reference for land reclamation and ecological restoration in mining areas.
