Abstract:[Objective] The soil infiltration rates under hedgerows in chernozem sloping farmland were studied to provide scientific basis for soil erosion control of sloping farmland in the chernozem area of Northeast China. [Methods] Plots experiment were conducted.[Results] Soil loss was decreased resulting from the decrease of soil bulk density and the increase of soil porosity and infiltration. As compared to the one of inter-hedgerow, the soil infiltration rates in the hedgerow increased markedly. Infiltration rate varied with the change of vegetation, had a rank as followed: blackcurrant > short carpopodium acanthopanax > mulberry. Besides that, it was also affected by slope steepness, the lower of slop steepness, the higher of soil infiltration rate. [Conclusion] As a measure of soil and water conservation, hedgerow could improve soil structure, increase soil infiltration rate, subsequently decrease surface runoff and soil loss. It should be applied in the chernozem area of Northeast China.
