摘要： Tillage practices significantly influence soil nutrient retention, soil structure, and stability. However, the impact of tillage practices on soil stability and erosion resistance through the perturbation approach of soil structure remains unclear. This study aimed to establish universal principles across slope surface and soil profile scales. We evaluated the effects of various tillage practices, including conventional tillage (CT), soil compaction (CM), subsoil tillage (ST), no tillage (NT), and subsoil tillage and soil compaction (SCM) on soil stability and erosion resistance in China's red soil hilly region. Soil stability, erosion resistance, and other soil properties were quantified using field surveys and laboratory experiments. We discovered significant variations in soil aggregate stability (SAS), wet aggregate stability (WAS), soil mechanical stability (SMS), and soil erodibility (SE) among the five tillage methods. The K factor's average value indicated that the 0-40 cm soil layer was more erodible for CT (0.472) than for other methods, with NT (0.26) being the least erodible. NT (0.43) was the most effective treatment for reducing SE, while SCM (0.41) enhanced soil fertility, controlled SE, and mitigated machinery-induced soil compaction risks. CM (0.38) maintained soil stability without improving the soil nutrient storage, while ST (0.33) improved the soil stability such as alleviating the soil hardening caused by CM. The results provide reference parameter values for selecting appropriate tillage methods to decrease soil degradation and erosion while enhancing the soil productivity in a red soil hilly region.
