Abstract

The hydrogel is a super absorbent macromolecule compound that can absorb pure water up to hundred or thousand times of its dead weight .Since the hydrogel can absorb water in the rainy season and slowly release water for plant use in dry season , it can help plants to survive under dry condition and increase the survival rate of afforestation .So far , most studies of hydrogel are on the properties of water retention , there are few reports on its nutrients retention properties .Data in the field trials and greenhouse experiments showed the hydrogel could significantly decrease the loss of nitrogen and potassium.The loss of nitrogen of Sequoia sempervirens and Alnus ferdinandi var .coburgii decreased by 23.8 %-65.2 % and that of potassium aecreased by 19.8 % -86.2 % compared to the controlled group .When the added nutrients were kept in a fixed quantity , the loss of nutrients decreased with the increase of hydrogel .The field trials showed the hydrogel application increased the contents of potential nitrogen by 133.1 %-295.8 %, phosphorus by 10.4 %-43.2 % and potassium by 124.2 %-220.3 % in the forest soil .Thus , we can conclude that application of hydrogel improves not only the soil moisture condition but also the nutrients status through decreased nutrient leaching .[ Ch , 2 tab .11 ref .]
