Synergistic Degradation Relationship Between Root–Soil Properties and the Evolution of Mattic Epipedon Cracks in Alpine Meadows
Bibliographic Data
During the degradation process of alpine meadows, the vegetation–root–soil system has degraded synergistically, and the composition and structure of mattic epipedons have altered, resulting in gradual thickening accompanied by the emergence of cracks and a qualitative shift in the degradation state. Clarifying root–soil–crack interactions during this process remains challenging. In this study, root–soil properties and crack evolution were investigated using redundancy analysis (RDA), and root reinforcement effects were quantified through the Wu–Waldron model (WWM). The results revealed that degradation significantly affected soil structure, root architecture, and crack morphology ( p
