Abstract: [Objective] This project aims to study the soil physicochemical properties of degraded alpine grassland and soil nutrient characteristics in Bayinbuluk in the hope of providing a theoretical basis for rational utilization of grassland degradation.[Method]Using conventional soil physical and chemical detection method to analyze soil organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, pH, soil moisture and bulk density index in Bayanbulak degraded grassland.[Result]With degradation degree aggravated, the contents of soil organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, available phosphorus and soil water content in the different layers of soil (0-30 cm) declined, but soil bulk density and pH showed a trend of increase.Compared with non degraded areas, the content of soil organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, available phosphorus and soil water decreased between 25.22;-31.96;, 37.69;-48.44;, 28.00;-28.98;, 35.53;-52.47;, 33.89;-44.84; and 35.44;-57.62; in each soil layer (0-30 cm).The available potassium in the soil layer of 20-30 cm increased remarkably after heavy degradation, which was 1.96 times higher than that of the non degraded land.Total K content showed no significant difference (P>0.05).[Conclusion]Soil nutrient contents decreased significantly in different alpine grasslands in Bayanbulak.
