Zusammenfassung |
In this paper the results of a study of soil hydraulic properties
and plant coverage of a landfill located in Piacenza (Po Valley,
Italy) are presented, together with the attempt to relate the
hydraulic properties in relation with plant coverage. The measured
soil water retention curve was first compared with the output of
pedotransfer functions taken from the literature and then compared
with the output of the same pedotransfer functions applied to a
reference soil. The landfill plant coverage was also studied. The
relationship between soil hydraulic properties and plant coverage
showed that the landfill soils have a low water content available
for plants. The soils' low water content, together with a lack of
depth and a compacted structure, justifies the presence of a
nitrophilous, disturbed-soil vegetation type, dominated by ephemeral
annual species (therophytes). |
