Abstract

The land consolidation in hollowed villages deeply affected soil properties in loess plateau. The object of this work was to analysis the soil properties changes in 6 consolidation years with 2 tillage types. Results showed that the soil bulk density, soil clay content, pH, soil organic matters, total N, Olsen P, available K were increased during 6 years. Meanwhile, a higher soil bulk density, soil clay content, organic matters, total N were found in rotary tillage than in plough tillage. It is concluded that land consolidation of hollowed villages are could increase arable land and improve soil properties with the increase of consolidation years, furthermore, rotary tillage can accelerate this trend compared to plough tillage.
