Evaluation of soil quality and analysis of drivers of different vegetation patterns in the loess region of Northern Shaanxi by Youfu Wang, Fangfang Qiang, Guangquan Liu, Changhai Liu, Jie Gao, Ning Ai

“…The results revealed that (1) the maximum water holding capacity (MWHC), capillary water holding capacity (CWHC), total porosity (TCP), soil organic carbon (SOC), quick acting phosphorus (AP), C/P, and C/N of the PTF sample were significantly greater than those of the other vegetation models, and the maximum water holding capacity (MWHC), capillary water holding capacity (CWHC), soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) of the MAF sample site were significantly lower than those of the other sample sites, while soil bulk density (BD) was significantly higher than other sample sites. (2) According to the principal component analysis of the 16 physical and chemical indicators, the eigenvalues of the first four principal components were 1, and the cumulative contribution rate reached 77.482%, which effectively included the information of the original variables. (3) The soil qualities of the different vegetation types in the loess area of northern Shaanxi were ranked as follows: PTF (0.534) > SLP (0.494) > SF (0.462) > MF1 (0.430) > HPF (0.423) > BLF (0.420) MF2 > (0.415) > MAF (0.389). (4) SEM revealed that soil quality drivers varied among vegetation patterns, but soil organic carbon (SOC), as the main influencing factor, positively affected all vegetation. …”
