Abstract:With the continuous improvement of the national economic level,the grassland tourism industry has developed rapidly and become universal and extensive.Taking Xilamuren grassland as an example,the effects of different tourist disturbance levels on the physical and chemical properties of vegetation and soil were analyzed in combination with the development and utilization status of scenic spots.The results showed that tourism disturbance reduced plant richness and aboveground biomass to different degrees,while diversity index and evenness index increased.With the increasing intensity of tourism interference,soil bulk density and compacting degree increased gradually,while soil water content decreased gradually.The content of soil organic matter,total nitrogen,total phosphorus and total potassium also showed a decreasing trend.Soil moisture content was negatively correlated with soil compactness(P>0.01),while positively correlated with soil total available potassium,total available phosphorus,organic matter,and abundance(P<0.01).
