Abstract:

To clarify the fertilizer supply capacity and distribution characteristics of N, P and K in soil of Camellia oleifera forest land, soil samples from different slopes (0°, 18°, 43°) and profile depths (0-60 cm) were collected to analyze the NPK nutrient contents and profile distribution characteristics under different site conditions. The results showed that the content of total NPK in the three slopes was 0.60-1.13, 0.62-0.65 and 27.53-32.27 mg/kg, respectively, and the content of available NPK was 89.81-145.00, 3.05-8.52 and 104.06-196.30 mg/kg, respectively. Multiple comparative analysis showed that there were significant differences in the total and available NPK in Camellia oleifera forest land at different slopes (P<0.05). The distribution characteristics of total NPK and available NPK in soil were similar, except total K, with the soil profile deepening and soil depth increasing, the soil fertility gradually decreased, and the distribution was surface accumulation. Analysis of soil fertility showed that the higher the slope, the lower the NPK nutrients. Correlation analysis showed that the total NPK were significantly correlated with available NPK. According to the comprehensive analysis, the slope of 0°-18° is suitable for planting Camellia oleiensis, but the slope of 43° and above is not suitable because of low soil fertility. The results could have certain application value in breeding and cultivation of Camellia oleifera in mountainous areas of Guizhou.
