华北平原灌溉农田的土壤水量平衡和水分利用效率

华北平原农业面临的主要问题是水资源短缺,地下水位持续下降。通过一维土壤水量平衡模型模拟了华北平原不同灌溉方式下农田耗水量和土壤水分深层渗漏的变化,并分析了作物的产量和水分利用效率。结果显示在正常的灌溉条件下,冬小麦季地下水的采补差额超过了200mm,某生育期一定程度的水分亏缺(返青期、拔节期或灌浆期)能明显减少冬小麦的耗水量,但没有明显减少作物的产量。因此,在一定程度上减少灌溉是可行的,但仍不能达到地下水资源的采补平衡。从长远来看,华北平原维持可持续的地下水灌溉开采,应减少冬小麦的种植面积、增加低耗水经济作物的比例。

基于DRAINMOD模型估算灌区浅层地下水利用量及盐分累积

在灌溉季节,尤其是下游灌区,农田地下水位较高,作物可就地利用部分浅层地下水,从而减少灌溉需水量,达到节水减排的双重目的。大田作物对浅层地下水利用量的估算是合理制定灌溉淋洗制度及控制土壤盐碱化的前提,但其估算存在一定困难。该文假设当农田灌溉、排水等水文气象条件一致时,某一作物对浅层地下水的利用量等于该田块有、无作物(即裸地)2种情况下造成地下水位差异的水量。据此,首先建立了浅层地下水利用量的计算模型,并以某一半干旱灌区为例,利用田间水文模型-DRAINMOD模拟出有、无作物2种条件下农田地下水位变化过程,然后,计算了棉花、小麦轮作期内对浅层地下水的利用量;在此基础上,进一步分析了浅层地下水利用条件下土壤剖面的盐分平衡。结果显示,该文提出的计算模型能够较好的反映大田实际情况;研究时段内,田间地下水埋深平均值为2.1 m,单位面积上作物利用浅层地下水量为305.8 mm,主要发生在作物生长阶段,其中棉花生长季内地下水利用量约为160 mm。盐分平衡计算结果显示,浅层地下水的利用使得水位以上土壤剖面盐分含量增加,但1 m以内根区土壤盐分在降雨和灌溉作用下得到一定的淋洗,未超出作物耐盐极限,不会对产量造成显著影响。研究成果可为相关灌区制定合理的灌溉制度及提高水资源利用效率提供科学依据。     

利用地下水模型模拟分析灌区适宜井渠灌水比例

为了获取泾惠渠灌区适宜井渠灌水比例,科学合理地确定农业节水方案,该文综合应用ArcGIS和PMWIN地下水模拟软件建立了灌区的地下水分布模拟模型,根据灌区历年农业用水实际情况设定了10种灌溉情景模拟灌区地下水位的变化趋势,通过地下水模型分析研究了灌区井渠灌水比例。利用VB程序语言改写EVT蒸发蒸腾子程序包,使其能模拟非线性蒸发,潜水蒸发量计算精度得到较大改进。研究表明:1)渠首有效灌溉引水量在3.7～4.1亿m3,井渠灌水比例控制在0.35～0.55,基本可以保持灌区地下水采补平衡;2)渠首有效灌溉引水量在1.5～2.0亿m3,井渠灌水比例控制在0.5～0.7,也能实现灌区地下水采补平衡;3)目前井渠灌水比例在0.9～1.2,已引起灌区地下水超采。建议井渠灌水比例控制在0.5～0.7,加大农业节水力度、增加水价财政补贴、进行地下水人工调蓄,实现灌区水资源高效持续利用。     

产芝水库灌区农田水分转化及节水灌溉模式分析

在长期田间试验的基础上,建立了产芝水库灌区典型农田的土壤水分运动模型。结果表明,常规灌溉条件下灌区农田水分的无效渗漏量较大,降水和灌溉与土壤深层渗漏和农田蒸散量之间存在明显的正相关关系。基于作物的土壤水分调节标准,模拟得到灌区不同降水年型的节水灌溉模式,与常规灌溉相比,节水灌溉模式在丰水年可节省水240 mm,平水年140 mm,枯水年为90 mm,并且农田渗漏量显著低于常规灌溉,丰水年、平水年和枯水年的全年平均农田渗漏强度分别减少了0.66、0.35和0.27 mm/d。在作物关键生育期合理控制灌水量,能够保证作物正常需水的同时减少土壤水的无效渗漏,从而提高灌溉水的利用效率。     

新疆车尔臣河流域地下水的可持续开发利用研究

为了探讨车尔臣河流域地下水资源的采补平衡和可持续利用,运用实地考察、历年统计资料及水均衡分析方法,对车尔臣河流域的水文地质条件及地下水进行了全面剖析。结果表明：近年来,在车尔臣河中游大量引水,导致下游水量减少,只灌不排或灌多排少的现象严重,因此一般年份已无水流入台特玛湖。对车尔臣河灌区进行以节水为中心的续建配套和技术改造,缓解且末县农业灌溉季节性缺水矛盾,提高灌溉保证率及农作物单产;增加下游生态用水,扼制东西部沙漠合拢的趋势,保护塔里木河下游绿色走廊。

新疆干旱区成龄核桃滴灌制度优化

科学合理的灌溉制度是提高灌水利用效率的主要因素。该研究采用HYDRUS-2D模型结合寻优模型相结合的方法,研究新疆核桃滴灌优化制度。利用2018年和2019年定点观测土壤水分数据进行模型率定与验证;利用模型设定128种情景进行模拟研究,分析南疆干旱区滴灌成龄核桃不同灌溉制度下的深层渗漏和水分胁迫。应用模型结合灌溉制度寻优函数探求滴灌条件下成龄核桃各灌溉制度土壤水分通量。结果表明:HYDRUS-2D模型模拟土壤含水率精度较高,R2为83.03%～83.73%,均方根误差在0.016～0.017cm~3/cm~3范围。根据模型模拟结果,推荐新疆干旱区核桃滴灌制度为灌水定额35 mm,灌溉11次,灌水周期9 d,灌溉定额385 mm或者灌水定额50 mm,灌溉7次,灌水周期14 d,灌溉定额350 mm,在以上滴灌制度下,可最大限度减少农田水分损失和提高灌水利用效率。该研究可为制定南疆滴灌条件下成龄核桃适宜灌溉制度提供参考。     

石羊河流域农田休闲期耗水规律研究

通过微型蒸渗器和diviner2000土壤水分测定仪测定了不同耕作及储水灌溉条件下农田休闲期土壤水分动态变化规律,并结合气象数据比较不同耕作方式和灌水处理的优越性,分析了休闲期不同耕作方式及储水灌溉措施对土壤水分及降水利用的影响。研究结果表明,春耕可减少农田表层土壤蒸发,保水效果较好;低定额储水灌溉既没有造成深层渗漏,且蒸发损失小;冬季大定额储水灌溉产生43.86 mm的深层渗漏和121.11mm的土壤水分蒸发,形成了水资源的无效流失;而春耕+免储水灌溉只产生54.41 mm水分损失,节水效果显著。土壤蒸发和深层渗漏产生的土壤水分损失大小顺序为:传统冬季储水灌溉>低定额储水灌溉>秋耕+免储水灌溉>春耕+免储水灌溉,低定额储水灌、秋耕+免储水灌溉、春耕+免储水灌溉处理土壤水分损失较对照分别减少53.44 mm、97.52 mm和110.56 mm(土面蒸发+深层渗漏)。石羊河流域春耕+免储水灌溉处理可有效减少休闲期水分损失,提高休闲期水分利用效率。

Biodiversity and ecogeography of wild Lactuca spp. in some European countries

Staff members of the Department of Botany of Palacký University in Olomouc and Gene Bank Department – Workplace Olomouc, Research Institute of Crop Production in Prague, Czech Republic, conducted an expedition in seven European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland) in August/September 1999 to collect wild Lactuca spp. germplasm and study its geographic distribution, ecology and biodiversity. During the mission, more than 600 locations were visited resulting in the collection of 602 seed samples (accessions) of wild Lactuca species and 13 seed samples of related genera (Chondrilla and Mycelis). Lactuca serriola f. serriola, L. serriola f. integrifolia, L. saligna and L. viminea subsp. chondrilliflora were prevalent in southern Europe (Italy, France), however, only L. serriola was common in central and western Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland). The greatest diversity of Lactuca species was found in France, where also the most seed samples (165) were collected. The most characteristic habitats with a high density of Lactuca spp. populations were observed along roads and highways, grassy ditches, ruderal communities, and dust-heaps. Natural infections by powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) and downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) on some wild Lactuca spp. were observed. Recent observations concerning the geographic distribution, population structure, habitats, and natural occurrence of diseases of Lactuca spp. are discussed. This assemblage of genetic resources of Lactuca spp. can serve as the basis of future studies of species diversification, spatial population structure, plant microevolution, domestication processes, and genetic variability of host-parasite interactions.     

Pasture Vegetation Elemental Analysis by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technique for the analysis of plant material. This study investigates the application of LIBS to pasture-based plant samples. The LIBS measurements were obtained from pelletized pasture samples (100 samples) that had been also analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) following microwave digestion for calibration and comparison purposes. Comparisons for elements sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) showed that LIBS could be used for almost all the standard profile total elements with concentrations down to low mg/kg levels (observed error of Na: 0.024 percent, K: 0.18 percent, Mg: 0.016 percent, Ca: 0.073 percent, P: 0.017 percent, Mn: 31 mg/kg, Fe: 150 mg/kg, Zn: 6.6 mg/kg, and B: 1.1 mg/kg). Elemental analysis at less than mg/kg levels was not possible using LIBS. The elements S and Cu were particularly difficult to analyze with reliability using LIBS at the concentration levels found in the plant samples. Replacing microwave digestion and subsequent ICP analysis with a direct analysis of dried plant samples using LIBS has the potential to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of testing.     

Properties of anaerobically digested and composted municipal solid waste assessed by linking soil mesofauna dynamics and nitrogen modelling

We have studied the effect of anaerobically digested (ADMSW) and composted municipal solid waste (CMSW) on mineralization and foodweb dynamics to verify the hypothesis that ADMSW would immobilize N right after addition to soil in contrast to addition with CMSW. Another hypothesis was that the mesofauna (enchytraeids and microarthropods) would stimulate N release from the decomposer community. We measured excretion of -N and urea-N from the mesofauna and hypothesized that enchytraeids would release urea. ADMSW and CMSW were amended to pots with sandy loam and barley. The pots were divided into treatments with or without mesofauna. Mesofauna, plant N and biomass, soil N and ergosterol (fungal biomass) were measured over a 113-day period of four equidistant samplings. Soil respiration, N mineralization and N release by the mesofauna were modelled from concurrent studies. ADMSW- and CMSW-treated soils initially (<20 days) immobilized N. The amendments did not increase plant growth substantially, and this was probably due to N-limitation in the early stages of plant growth. Enchytraeid abundance was about three times higher in ADMSW- than CMSW-treated soils, indicating that ADMSW contained more labile compounds, bacteria, and microfauna. The mesofauna did not affect N-content, but the cumulated -N excreted by the mesofauna was estimated to be substantial and about one-fifth of total plant N in ADMSW. An explanation for this discrepancy might be that in the absence of the mesofauna, other members of the detrivore and microbivore community performed the mesofauna’s function. Neither enchytraeids nor microarthropods excreted urea.

Assessing the effectiveness of conservation measures: Resolving the “wicked” problem of the Steller sea lion

“Wicked” problems are those that are complex and that change when solutions are applied. Many conflicts in conservation fall into this category. The study approached the problem of how to constrain the apparent wickedness of a problem in the conservation management of a species by using simple empirical indicators to carry out iterative assessment of the risk to a population and to document how this risk evolves in relation to the addition of new data and the implementation of management actions. Effects of high levels of uncertainty within data and also concerning population structure were examined through stochastic simulation and by exploration of scenarios. Historical trends in the example used, the Steller sea lion, showed rapid declines in abundance in some regions during the 1980s. The current total population is 130,000-150,000 Steller sea lions through Alaska and British Columbia and this number has been stable since about 1990 in spite of regional differences in population dynamics. Regional differences in the sequence of changes in the number of pups and non-pups, suggested that an internal re-distribution of juveniles could have happened between 1980 and 1990. Current productivity also appears close to the long-term mean. Stochastic population projection using various scenarios showed that, based upon this history, the risk of extinction for the population has declined and is below reasonable thresholds for considering the population to be endangered. The trends in risk suggest that management actions taken since 1990 have probably been effective. Consequently, the conservation management objectives for the Steller sea lion are probably being met. The approach provides a mechanism, based upon experience and scenario analysis, for exploring future policy options and may help to constrain the debate amongst stakeholders about the cost-benefit trade-offs associated with different options.     

Soil-profile distribution of primary and secondary plant-available nutrients under conventional and no tillage

Nutrient distributions under no tillage (NT) compared with conventional disk-and-bed tillage (CT) management in the warm, humid region of the southeastern USA need to be assessed so that future placement, quantity, and type of fertilizers can be altered, if necessary, to efficiently match crop demands. We determined soil-profile distributions of pH, N, P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu to a depth of 0.9 m at the end of 8.5 years of continuous CT and NT management on a Weswood silty clay loam (fine, mixed, thermic Fluventic Ustochrept) in southcentral Texas. Most dramatic changes occurred within the 0–0.05 m depth, where soil under NT had lower pH, Fe, and Cu than under CT, but greater P, K, Zn, and Mn. Greater P and K under NT than under CT also occurred below the till-zone (0.15–0.3 m). At a depth of 0–0.3 m, soil under NT contained greater amounts of extractable P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu than under CT. Nitrogen fertilization had little effect on nutrient distributions, except resulting in greater extractable K at 0–0.05 m and greater nitrate at 0–0.15 m. Few changes in soil-profile distributions were observed for extractable S, Ca, Mg, and Na. Long-term continuous use of NT on this fine-textured, high-fertility (except for N) soil had no apparent adverse effects on nutrient distributions relative to CT, but enhanced conservation and availability of P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu near the soil surface where crop roots proliferate.     

Macroinvertebrates in North American tallgrass prairie soils: effects of fire, mowing, and fertilization on density and biomass

The responses of tallgrass prairie plant communities and ecosystem processes to fire and grazing are well characterized. However, responses of invertebrate consumer groups, and particularly soil-dwelling organisms, to these disturbances are not well known. At Konza Prairie Biological Station, we sampled soil macroinvertebrates in 1994 and 1999 as part of a long-term experiment designed to examine the effects and interactions of annual fire, mowing, and fertilization (N and P) on prairie soil communities and processes. For nearly all taxa, in both years, responses were characterized by significant treatment interactions, but some general patterns were evident. Introduced European earthworms (Aporrectodea spp. and Octolasion spp.) were most abundant in plots where fire was excluded, and the proportion of the total earthworm community consisting of introduced earthworms was greater in unburned, unmowed, and fertilized plots. Nymphs of two Cicada genera were collected (Cicadetta spp. and Tibicen spp.). Cicadetta nymphs were more abundant in burned plots, but mowing reduced their abundance. Tibicen nymphs were collected almost exclusively from unburned plots. Treatment effects on herbivorous beetle larvae (Scarabaeidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae) were variable, but nutrient additions (N or P) usually resulted in greater densities, whereas mowing usually resulted in lower densities. Our results suggest that departures from historical disturbance regimes (i.e. frequent fire and grazing) may render soils more susceptible to increased numbers of European earthworms, and that interactions between fire, aboveground biomass removal, and vegetation responses affect the structure and composition of invertebrate communities in tallgrass prairie soils.
