Abstract:
      With the method of grazing field experiment, we studied the aggregate content and damage rate of the soil, so as to analyze surface soil aggregate (>0.25 mm) content and damage rate of different grazing intensity, different types of livestock and different types of vegetation. The results show that grazing intensity has certain effect on surface soil structrue and soil aggregate content is the least at heavy grazing intensity. Compared with goat selected as grazing livestock, sheep has less effect on destroying soil structure and has large quantity of soil aggregate. Compared with Caragana korshinkii kom, grazing grassplot has better soil structure. The results of damage rete of ag gregate is consistent with that of soil aggregate content. So it is concluded that all categories of grazing intensity, types of livestock and types of vegetation affect the surface soil aggregate nature.
