    Abstract:

    To reveal the distribution pattern of soil particle composition in vertical and horizontal directions, soils from 0-100 cm layer profiles of typical slopes in the Pisha sandstone area were collected and their particle composition was determined by using classical statistics. Results showed that the soil texture of 0-100 cm layer on the slope was mainly sandy loam (59.21%) and loamy sandy soil (36.40%). With the increase of soil depth, the content of sand increased, the content of silt and clay decreased, and the soil gradually showed a trend of coarse graining. On the slope scale, the sand content in the soil surface layer of 0-10 cm were weakly variable, and the variability of all grain classes in the remaining layers was moderate, and the variability increased with depth, and the coefficients of variation of different grain classes showed that sand < silt < clay. Along the slope contour direction, the coarseness of sample zone B was the weakest, and below the 10 cm layer, the coarseness of sample zone B was the strongest. Along the vertical slope contour direction, the content of sand (73.60%) increased by 6.90% (p<0.05) and 11.66% (p<0.05) in the middle of the slope compared with the top and bottom of the slope, respectively, while the content of silt (31.85%) and clay (3.10%) increased by 13.13% (p<0.05), 23.59% (p<0.05) and 4.36%, 51.70% (p<0.05) in the bottom of the slope compared with the top and middle of the slope. The coarse granulation was the strongest in the middle of the slope, and the bottom of the slope was the main area for the accumulation of fine particles. The results of the study can strengthen the understanding of the spatial distribution pattern of soil particles on the slope of Pisha sandstone area.
