Abstract:
      After five models of converting cropland to forest were selected respectively in high-mountain areas in Beichuanhe Watershed of Datong County in Qinghai Province, the soil effects were analyzed. Model F (Picea crassifolia) was better than others on the total pore space and the final infiltration rate of soil, which were 53.62% and 6.8mm/min respectively. Model H (Betula latyphylla+Picea crassifolia) occupied the first place in soil structural coefficient, up to 94.751%. As to the average content of total N, hydrolytic N, total K, rapidly available K and rapidly available K, model F ranked the first place. The soil anti-scourability of model F (Picea crassifolia) ranked the first place, which was 1.652 s/g. The quality synthetic evaluation about soil effect of converting cropland to forest was carried on, and it showed that disposition pattern F was the most superior one.
