The study looked at how different types of land use and slopes affect soil properties in a loess tableland area. They collected soil samples from various areas and found that soil properties varied horizontally and vertically. Slope position influenced clay content, bulk density, and hydraulic conductivity. Grassland had different soil properties compared to farmland and orchard, mainly due to slope effects. Soil properties were similar in upper and middle slopes. Overall, the study showed that land use type and slope position play a significant role in determining soil physical properties in the area.
