Dec 26, 2016 · In this study, we asked how the vegetation structure, plant diversity and soil traits differ among the habitats in each plant formation, whether soil characteristics affect vegetation structure and plant diversity and whether the effect of soil varied across different formations.

Jan 1, 2024 · In general, vegetation roots can modify the soil structure and soil hydraulic properties through root exudation, root penetration, root water uptake, and root decay, according to current research (see Fig. 1 c, d) (Lu et al., 2020; Shi et al., 2021; Ng et al., 2022).
Nov 17, 2022 · The abundance of soil organisms was markedly lower in cropland and plantation habitats than in primary vegetation and pasture. Soil properties influenced the abundance of soil biota in ways that differed among land uses, suggesting they shape both abundance and its response to land use.
Mar 1, 2022 · Topography affects vegetation communities through its influence on soil texture and nutrient content (Iqbal et al., 2005; Laughlin and Abella, 2007). Soil texture influences the availability of SW and nutrients to plants by controlling the dynamics of soil organic matter (SOM), infiltration, and moisture retention ( Parton et al., 1988 ; Sperry ...
- Parent Material. Soil parent material is the material that soil develops from, and may be rock that has decomposed in place, or material that has been deposited by wind, water, or ice.
- Climate. Soils tend to show a strong geographical correlation with climate, especially at the global scale. Energy and precipitation strongly influence physical and chemical reactions on parent material.
- Topography. Topography has a significant impact on soil formation as it determines runoff of water, and its orientation affects microclimate which in turn affects vegetation.
- Organisms. Organism, both plant and animal, play an important role in the development and composition of soil. Organisms add organic matter, aid decomposition, weathering and nutrient cycling.
