引入分维理论评价土壤对优势流的敏感性

Food dye Brilliant Blue was introduced as the tracer in a dye-tracing experiment to obtain dye profile patterns of sandy loam soil,aeolian sandy soil,percolating paddy soil and permeable paddy soil.The dyed soil profiles were then photographed and the photos were scanned into a computer.Edited with certain software,only the dyed areas were left on the profile photos,which indicted the preferential flow paths for water and solute transport.Fractal dimensions of the dye patterns were calculated according to Arnold‘s function.Soil particle size distribution was analyzed by pipette method.The regression analysis showed that there was significant relationship between soil clay content and fractal dimension D of the dye pattern of soil profile.Based on the experiment results,the possibility of introducing fractal dimension to estimation of soil sensitivity to preferential flow is discussed.     

运用染色示踪方法研究土壤质地对土壤水非均匀流动特征的影响

为研究土壤质地对土壤水流运动非均匀特征的影响,在砂土、壤土和粉质粘土中采用亮蓝(砂土)和碘离子(壤土和粉质粘土)作为示踪剂分别开展了2个、5个和4个不同入渗条件(土壤初始含水率和入渗水量)的染色示踪试验,通过计算活动流场模型(Active Region Model,ARM)分形特征参数(γ)来定量描述和比较不同入渗条件下土壤水流运动的非均匀特征。研究结果表明,(1)活动流场模型较好的捕捉到了土壤水流运动整体的非均匀信息;(2)当其它入渗条件(土壤初始含水率和入渗水量)相同时,土壤水在细质地土壤中运动的非均匀程度要高于其在粗质地土壤中运动的非均匀程度。     

黄淮海平原三种土壤中优势流现象的试验研究

在黄淮海平原选择三种不同质地类型的土壤（砂壤土、淤土、风沙土）,各设１．５ｍ×１．５ｍ两个小区,其中一个小区在试验开始前两癸灌水约５６ｋｇ,以获得不同的初始含水量。将１００ｍｍ含有染色剂亮蓝的水灌入小区,一天之后,开挖１ｍ×１ｍ的剖面拍照,进行图像分析处理,计算剖面中染色百分比随深度的变异,研究所形成的优势流的状况与土壤类型、土壤初始含水量的关系。结果表明：不同土壤发生优势流的程度不同,结构发育好     

土壤优先流运动的活动流场模型模拟和敏感性分析

在壤土和砂土条件下分别采用碘-淀粉染色示踪方法和亮蓝染色示踪方法各开展了2个染色示踪试验,分别采用活动流场模型和二域模型模拟计算了各试验入渗后染色区内的土壤含水率和溶质浓度分布,通过相对均方根误差分析评价了两个模型模拟预测优先流发展的有效性;此外,通过敏感性分析研究了不同入渗条件（土壤质地、入渗水量和土壤初始含水率）下活动流场模型模拟预测结果（入渗深度）对活动流场模型分形特征参数变化的敏感度。模型检验分析结果显示活动流场模型对土壤水入渗深度、入渗后染色区内土壤含水率和溶质浓度分布的预测精度要明显高于二域模型的模拟预测精度;活动流场模型较好的捕捉到了优先流运动整体的非均匀特征。敏感性分析结果显示,当降雨入渗水量和土壤初始含水率相同时,入渗深度对活动流场模型分形特征参数（γ）的敏感度随着γ的增大而增大;相同活动流场模型分形特征参数（γ）值条件下（即流动非均匀程度相同）,入渗深度对活动流场模型分形特征参数（γ）的敏感度随着入渗水量的增大和土壤初始含水率的升高而减小。     

Effect of non-linear adsorption on the transport behaviour of Brilliant Blue in a field soil

The food dye Brilliant Blue FCF (Color Index 42090) is often used as dye tracer in field studies for visualizing the flow pathways of water in soils. Batch studies confirmed findings of other researchers that non‐linear sorption is important for Brilliant Blue, especially at small concentrations (< 10 g l^?1 for our soil), and that retardation increases with decreasing concentrations as well as with increasing ionic strength of solutions. Therefore, it is not obvious if it can be used as an indicator for water flow paths as is often done. In this study, we compared the mobility of Brilliant Blue in a field soil (gleyic Luvisol) with that of bromide. Brilliant Blue and potassium bromide were simultaneously applied as a 6‐mm pulse on a small plot in the field, and the tracers were displaced with 89 mm of tracer‐free water using a constant intensity of 3.9 ± 0.2 mm hour^?1. Both tracer concentrations were determined on 144 soil cores taken from a 1 m × 1 m vertical soil profile. The transport behaviour differed in both (i) mean displacement and (ii) spatial concentration pattern. We found the retardation of Brilliant Blue could not be neglected and, in contrast to the bromide pattern, a pulse splitting was observed at the plough pan. Numerical simulations with a particle tracking code revealed that the one‐dimensional concentration profile of bromide was represented fairly well by the model, but the prediction of the double peak in the Brilliant Blue concentration profile failed. With additional assumptions, there were indications that Brilliant Blue does not follow the same flow paths as bromide. However, the question of Brilliant Blue taking the same flow pathways as bromide cannot be adequately answered by comparing both concentration distributions, because we look at two different transport distances due to the retardation of Brilliant Blue. It became obvious, however, that Brilliant Blue is not a suitable compound for tracing the travel time of water itself.     

Quantifying dye tracers in soil profiles by image processing

Developing and testing models for solute transport in the field requires experimental data on the spreading of solutes in the soil. Obtaining such data is costly, and a substantial part of the total costs is in the preparation and chemical analysis of the tracing compounds in the gathered samples. We developed a cheap method to quantify the concentration of the mobile dye tracer Brilliant Blue FCF from digitized photographs of stained soil profiles, and we have tested it in the field. Soil sampling and chemical analyses were necessary only to establish a calibration relation between the dye content and the colour of the soil. The digital images were corrected for geometrical distortions, varying background brightness, and colour tinges, and then they were analysed to determine the soil colour at sampling points in the profiles. The resident concentration of the dye was modelled by polynomial regression with the primary colours red, green, blue and the soil depth as explanatory variables. Concentration maps of Brilliant Blue were then computed from the digitized images with a spatial resolution of 1 mm. Validation of the technique with independent data showed that the method predicted the concentration of the dye well, provided the corrected images contained only the colours included in the calibration.     

Dye tracer infiltration in the plough layer after straw incorporation

Straw residues may be accumulated in isolated zones in the plough layer after mouldboard ploughing. This may limit straw decomposition because of limited nitrogen availability depending on the prevalent water flow pathways induced by tillage. In this study, we used the food dye Brilliant Blue FCF (Color Index 42090) to make visible the flow pathways in the plough layer of a loamy soil after incorporation of 10 tonne of dry mass ha^− 1, and to get a qualitative and quantitative interpretation of the small-scale flow behaviour. Approximately 1.3 L of a 4 g L^− 1 Brilliant Blue solution was applied at a matric head of − 1 cm with an infiltrometer, equipped with a 25 cm-diameter disk. Horizontal cross-sections of 50 × 50 cm were photographed at 1.5 to 3.5 cm depth intervals. High-resolution spatial maps of Brilliant Blue concentration were derived from the scanned photographs, using separate calibration relationships between the measured Brilliant Blue concentrations and the color spectra and depth for the soil and the straw. Pronounced lateral dye movement was observed through the soil matrix owing to soil sorptivity. In cases of high sorptivity, the dye barely reached the depth of straw incorporation. Otherwise, enhanced preferential dye transport directed towards the incorporated straw was made visible and the stained water eventually ponded on the plough pan which induced lateral redistribution. Although the straw inclusions contributed to dye transport, they did not retain a substantial part of the applied dye mass, owing to the low density and surface area of straw. However, these inclusions may enhance the fast migration of potential pollutants such as nitrate or pesticides out of the tilled layer where much of the transformation occurs due to biological activity.     

沟灌二维入渗影响因素实验研究

为进一步探明沟灌灌水沟的水分入渗规律,该文研究了沟灌中的灌水沟中水深、沟底宽、沟底导水率及土壤初始含水率等因素对沟灌二维入渗的影响,研究结果表明：减小灌水沟中水深和沟底导水率及增大土壤初始含水率都有利于灌水沟的水平侧向入渗,同时可相应减小垂向入渗;而灌水沟底宽不影响沟的侧向入渗,只影响垂向入渗,底宽减小时,垂向入渗减小。沟底导水率影响最大,计划灌水定额为45 mm,沟底导水率为0时垂向入渗深度较沟底裸露透水时减小41％,明显改善了沟灌入渗体的形状。研究结果可为改进沟灌灌水技术提供参考。

为了探究涌泉根灌水肥一体化灌溉在不同土壤初始含水率下水氮运移特性,通过室内肥液入渗试验,研究了不同土壤初始含水率(4.13%,7.21%,8.77%,11.06%,14.01%)条件下入渗特性、湿润锋运移、土壤水分以及铵态氮和硝态氮的运移特性,建立了涌泉根灌累积入渗量、各向湿润锋运移距离与不同土壤初始含水率之间的关系,提出了不同初始含水率下涌泉根灌累积入渗量、各向湿润锋运移距离的经验模型。结果表明:累积入渗量、各向湿润锋运移距离以及湿润体内水分和氮素的分布、转化等均不同程度地受到土壤初始含水率的影响。同一时刻条件下,累积入渗量随着土壤初始含水率的增大而减小,而湿润锋运移距离却呈现出增大的趋势;土壤初始含水率越大,湿润体体积越大,湿润体内水分、铵态氮和硝态氮的分布范围越广泛;距离灌水器出水孔越近,土壤中的铵态氮和硝态氮含量越高。入渗系数K随着土壤初始含水率的增大而减小,入渗指数α随着土壤初始含水率的增大而增大;水平湿润锋拟合参数a、b均随土壤初始含水率的增大而增大,竖直向下湿润锋运移指数c随着土壤初始含水率的增大而增大,入渗指数d随着土壤初始含水率的增大而减小。随着土壤水分再分布的持续进行,湿润体内水分分布越加均匀,采用克里斯琴森均匀系数Cu评价灌水结束、再分布1,3天条件下湿润体内水分分布均匀度依次为61.99%,74.27%和83.60%;湿润体内铵态氮含量逐渐减小,但铵态氮的分布区域基本无变化;湿润体内硝态氮分布区域变大,平均值呈增大,最值区域有下移趋势。研究成果为进一步研究涌泉根灌水氮高效利用技术奠定了基础。     

土壤性质对入渗再分布影响的显色示踪试验研究

同时使用染色剂和碘离子作为示踪剂,染色剂用于示踪大孔隙通道,根据碘-淀粉显色反应确定实际流动模式。开展了6组试验,研究了土壤大孔隙特征和非均匀流动特性,比较了粉土和粘土2种土壤,入渗水量分别为20、40、60和80 mm以及不同流动边界条件下的土壤水和溶质再分布特性。实验资料显示,入渗水再分布主要受到湿润模式的影响。入渗水量较小的情况下,水流运动主要发生在大孔隙中,随着入渗水量增大,入渗模式与孔隙发育表现出显著的区别,随着入渗水量的增加,水流运动非均匀性表现出先增加,随后减小的趋势。溶质迁移非均匀性取决于水流非均匀流动特性,然而表现出更多的不确定性。

A morphological approach to understanding preferential flow using image analysis with dye tracers and X-ray Computed Tomography

A key problem facing soil physics and hydropedology at present is some of the standard theories of water flow in soils do not fully reflect the processes at the pore scale, and thus, cannot be adequately used for prediction. As such, examination of soil structure is vital for hydropedologists. Realisation that solutes move preferentially through soil into groundwaters has meant research in this area has increased in importance. This paper describes a multi-scale approach to analyse transport mechanisms using visualisation techniques. Chloride and Brilliant Blue tracers were applied to undisturbed soil cores to examine the physical and morphological properties associated with preferential flow in a range of soil types. Following collection of serial digital images, it was possible to examine and quantify the nature of active water flow mechanisms in terms of both dye-stained pathways and spatial distribution of dye concentration, using image analysis. Preferential flow linked to water potential and soil structural discontinuity was observed in all but the coarsest textured soil which conformed to uniform flow theory. A high level of variability in flow patterns was noted between the soil types. Such information as to how a soil dynamically re-wets is key for hydropedologists involved in applications such as pollution modelling. This is especially significant when considering a wetting mechanism, such as preferential flow, that cannot be adequately described by conventional soil physics.     

Spatial variation of tracer distribution in a structured clay field soil

Within the sensitive soils of the River Oder Basin (E Brandenburg, Germany), chloride‐tracer transport was studied with respect to soil‐surface conditions of the well structured clayey topsoil (disturbed vs. undisturbed) and irrigation mode (flooding vs. sprinkling). The spatial variation of chloride and dye distribution was sampled in a regular grid within different soil depths. Different methods were used for the analysis of spatial heterogeneity: a heterogeneity index HI derived from fitting parameters of the cumulative distribution function, semivariogram analyses to identify the spatial representativity of observations and to classify the spatial variation, and Spearman's rank correlations to examine the spatial similarity of tracer distribution across different soil depths. Soil aggregation was obvious throughout the soil profile, and macropores and fractures were preferred flow paths for the tracer. Flood irrigation resulted in more “uniform” distribution than sprinkling did. However, preferential flow was identified for all treatments, where, once established below the surface layer, flow paths led to heterogeneity indices manifesting nonuniform flow and reduced lateral mixing between macropores and soil matrix. Within the flooded plot, spatial structure of chloride concentration was moderate unlike the strongly structured variation within the sprinkled plots. For purposes to generalize and to assess regional risk of the water and solute transport within the topsoil of the River Oder Basin, spatial autocorrelation ranges of about 15 cm should be considered and included into concepts of soil protection and land‐use management, soil‐sampling strategies, or modeling approaches.     

基于土壤水分异质性的小麦滴灌试验小区布设方法

科学合理地确定适宜的试验小区规格,对于经济、高效地获取具有较高精度和代表性的试验数据具有重要现实意义.该研究以确定滴灌条件下适宜的试验小区规格为目标,采用幂函数建立土壤含水率方差与不同小区面积之间的相关关系,计算土壤水分异质性指数以表征试验小区内土壤含水率的相关程度;利用土壤含水率异质性指数,采用Hatheway法确定小麦滴灌试验小区适宜的面积和重复数;根据不同方向上土壤含水率异质性指数研究形状对试验结果的影响,确定试验小区适宜的长宽比.结果表明:增大试验小区面积可以提高试验数据的准确性,但不同面积区间数据离散程度的降低幅度变化较大:面积由1 m2增大到50~100 m2,灌水定额30 mm处理田块间土壤含水率方差降低77.4%~82.6%,灌水定额45 mm处理降低78.6%~83.7%,面积从100 m2增加到500 m2,方差降低幅度显著变小,灌水定额30 mm处理降低17.4%,灌水定额45 mm处理降低16.3%;增加试验重复数可以增加试验对处理间土壤含水率差异的区分能力,试验小区面积在50~100 m2时,重复数由2增加到3能检测出的处理间土壤含水率差异由23.2%~26.5%提高到13.1%~15.0%,表明增加试验重复数可以检测出试验处理间更小的土壤含水率差异,提高试验精度.通过研究滴灌试验小区土壤水分异质性指数与滴灌试验小区规格之间的关系,综合考虑试验精度、代表性和田间实际操作得出以下结论:若试验为高、低水2处理时,试验布设宜为3重复,每重复小区面积为50 m2,可在80%的概率下检测出15%的真实差异;若试验为高、中、低3处理时,试验布设宜为3重复,每重复小区面积为100 m2,可在80%的概率下检测出12%的真实差异.滴灌试验小区适宜的形状为沿滴灌带方向布设的长方形,长宽比在1:1到5:1之间可使试验小区所得数据更具代表性.     

竖管地下灌溉粉质壤土入渗湿润体的试验研究

竖管灌水器是一种在低压（0.6～2.0 m）状况下对作物进行根部地下灌溉的新型灌水技术的核心部件。为了研究该灌水器在不同影响因素不同组合情况下湿润体特征参数值的变化,为竖管灌水器的进一步研究提供借鉴。试验采用正交试验设计安排了9组试验对压力水头、土壤初始含水率、竖管灌水器的竖管直径和土壤容重（每个因素取3个水平）4个因素进行了室内试验研究。入渗试验7 h之后获得的结果表明:湿润体的湿润半径大小排序为Y_负≥X≥Y_正,湿润体的含水率分布在水平方向呈现为圆形扩散,而竖直方向呈现为椭圆形扩散,表明重力对水分入渗有一定的影响。竖管地下灌溉湿润体平均含水率变化范围为7.5%～33.3%,能够更好地满足不同作物的需水要求。     

耦合基质区与裂隙网络的土壤优先流模型及验证

该文旨在通过分析土壤裂隙存在下的土壤优先流运动模式与特点,建立耦合基质区与裂隙网络的土壤优先流模型(crack preferential flow model,CP模型)。用控制体积有限元法求解两区土壤水分运动的基本方程,采用整体法将土壤基质水流运动方程和三维土壤裂隙网络区水流运动方程耦合。模拟与试验结果表明,增加降雨或灌溉强度能促进激活裂隙通道作为优先流通道,有利于优先流形成。CP模型及耦合方法较好地描述出了优先流运动的特点,模拟与实测的土壤饱和度均方根误差为0.016~0.025,决定系数均在0.78以上(P0.05),偏差为0.020~0.026,一致性指标为0.918~0.938。与等效连续体模型(Richards模型)相比较,CP模型模拟裂隙存在情况下土壤水流非均匀性规律更有效。研究丰富了土壤优先流理论,对提高农田水分利用率具有重要的意义。     

Effect of the initial soil moisture content on the spatial distribution of the water retention

The initial soil moisture content affects the water flow and solute transport through the vadose zone, but researchers are in disagreement about the extent and nature of its effects. Better understanding of the initial moisture effect on the water movement will help to prevent groundwater contamination and increase crop production by improving the efficiency of water use in irrigation practice. Therefore, in this study, the effect of the initial moisture content on the spatial distribution of the water retention was investigated in the field. A total of 4 cm of water was applied to duplicate plots with each of three initial moisture conditions within 2 h using a rainfall simulator. Following the application and a 2-h redistribution period, 100 soil samples were taken from different depths of each plot using a grid sampling system to be analyzed for their gravimetric water content in the laboratory. Statistical and geostatistical analyses were performed to analyze the spatial structure of the collected data. The results showed that the preferential flow was more evident in the case of the dry initial soil water content than for the two wetter initial conditions. Both the classical and geostatistical analyses supported that the overall water retention was uniformly distributed throughout the profile except at 20–30 cm, where the coefficient of variation and the percent nugget to total semivariance ratio were high, indicating some degree of preferential flow through large pores (macropores). These results suggest that similar studies should be conducted on different field soils under more different initial moisture conditions so that the effect of the macropores on the water flow and chemical transport can be better understood.

Impact of short‐rotation coppice with poplar and willow on soil physical properties

As the land area of short‐rotation coppice (SRC) increases, their soil physical impacts have to be evaluated. The objective of this study was to detect the effects of long‐term SRC with poplar and willow on the vertical distribution of soil physical properties (bulk density, water retention, penetration resistance) and on solute transport patterns. An 18‐year‐old SRC located in northeastern Germany was compared to an adjacent continuous arable cropping system by means of soil sampling, penetrologger measurements and dye tracer experiments. The topsoil's bulk density was significantly lower under SRC than under cropland. This effect was especially pronounced in the uppermost 10 cm, where also the air capacity and the plant‐available water content were higher under SRC. The penetration resistance in 25–50 cm depth was reduced under SRC compared to the cropland, indicating a loosening of the plough pan. Dye tracer experiments showed that the importance of preferential flow was higher under SRC due to tree root channels and an increasing colonisation with invertebrates. SRC has ecologically advantageous effects on soil physical properties of the topsoil, however, combined with an enhanced risk of preferential solute transport upon application of agrochemicals.     

撒施肥料一维畦灌地表水流与溶质运移模型构建与验证

膜下滴灌土壤湿润区对田间棉花根系分布及植株生长的影响

滴灌条件下的土壤湿润区与作物根系分布和植株生长之间的关系是确定滴灌湿润比的理论依据。以大田膜下滴灌试验为基础,在灌水量相同的情况下,通过调控滴水流量得到不同的土壤湿润区,对不同土壤湿润区下的田间棉花根系分布及株高和叶面积生长均匀性进行了试验研究。结果表明,小的滴水流量形成窄深型土壤湿润区,其土壤水分水平分布均匀性较差,使田间棉花根系分布和植株生长均匀性低;而大的滴水流量形成宽浅型土壤湿润区,其土壤水分水平分布均匀性较好,使田间棉花根系的分布和植株生长均匀性较高;膜下滴灌条件下,宜采用宽浅型土壤湿润区。
