Soil Erodibility and Physicochemical Properties of Collapsing Gully Alluvial Fans in Southern China

In southern China, collapsing gully erosion produces massive deposits of sediment on the plough layer of alluvial fan farmland, leading to reduced nutrients, increased erodibility, and even desertification. The aim of this study was to investigate soil erodibility (the factor K in the universal Soil Loss Equation, USLE) and physicochemical properties of the alluvial fans of the most severe collapsing gully erosion areas (Hubei, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces) in southern China. The soils of the collapsing gully alluvial fans had a higher bulk density, but a lower total porosity, saturated water content, and silt and clay fractions than the control (CK) soils from the farmland without desertification. Soil quality gradually decreased from fan edge to fanhead. Significant decreases were found in soil pH, organic matter, cation exchange capacity, and total potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus, as well as available nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, resulting in a gradual decrease in soil nutrients from the fanedge to the fanhead. Soil erodibility was greatest in the fanhead, and soil erodibility K values of the alluvial fans were 53.71%, 66.28%, 67.53%, and 71.68 % greater than that in those of the CK soils of Hubei, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong, respectively, indicating a significant correlation between the soil erodibility K values and physicochemical properties, particularly sand fraction and organic matter content. The results provide new insights into the relationship between soil physicochemical properties and erodibility of alluvial fans, and suggest that improving soil structure might increase soil fertility in the collapsing gully alluvial fan farmland.     

东北黑土区土壤退化及水土流失研究现状

东北黑土区严重的水土流失破坏了宝贵的黑土资源,危及当地群众的生产生活条件,恶化了生态环境,制约了当地经济社会的可持续发展,对我国的粮食安全构成了严重威胁。当前黑土区土壤退化及水土流失研究的领域主要集中在:现状研究、影响因素研究以及土壤侵蚀研究。在概述当前黑土区土壤退化及水土流失研究概况的基础上,指出应该加强研究的领域在于综合性的水土流失研究,融雪侵蚀模拟,先进的土壤侵蚀预报模型应用等方面。     

土壤可蚀性研究现状及展望

<正> 土壤可蚀性(soil erodibility)是指土壤是否易受侵蚀破坏的性能,也就是土壤对侵蚀介质剥蚀和搬运的敏感性。与侵蚀营力一样,土壤可蚀性是影响土壤侵蚀量大小的又一个重要因子。在水土保持学科中,我国习惯上把“水”和“土”并列使用,而国际上则用“soil loss”、“soil erosion”、“soil conservation”或“soil and water conservation”等术语。显然,土壤是水土保持学科的重点。另一方面,土壤侵蚀营力等是土壤流失过程中的外部因素,而土壤性质才是内在因素,因此,水土保持学科中核心的也是重要的问题,应该是土壤保护。土壤可蚀性研究在水土保持研究工作中具有重要意义,国际上把土壤可蚀性研究一直作为水土保持学科研究的重要内容之一。     

渭北旱塬侵蚀退化土壤生产力的恢复与评价

土壤侵蚀会降低生产力,威胁农业生产,因此,对土壤生产力进行恢复和评价具有重要意义。通过人工剥离熟土层,模拟研究不同侵蚀程度下的土壤生产力,选取施肥和覆盖表土2种恢复措施,对其土壤生产力的恢复情况展开研究并进行评价。结果表明:1)土壤侵蚀能够使土壤的理化性状恶化,施肥和覆土均能很好地改善土壤密度和孔隙度等,并能够增加土壤有机质及其他养分的质量分数。2)土壤侵蚀会降低作物产量,在不施肥下,每侵蚀1cm熟土层,玉米产量平均下降1.27%,施肥下每侵蚀1 cm熟土层,玉米产量比对照平均增加0.87%;而每覆盖1cm熟土层,玉米产量平均增加0.91%,但并不能完全补偿侵蚀造成的产量损失。3)利用土壤生产力指数模型(PI模型)计算出了不同措施下的生产力指数,发现:无肥下侵蚀的生产力指数最低,平均每侵蚀1 cm熟土层,生产力指数下降2.17%,施肥下平均每侵蚀1 cm熟土层,生产力指数比无肥增加1.09%,而平均每覆盖1 cm熟土,生产力指数增加1.29%;表明覆土较施肥更易提高土壤生产力。4)对产量和生产力指数进行相关性分析,得出二者具有很好的正相关关系,说明用生产力指数来衡量土壤生产力的高低是可行的。     

Relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and changes in soil gas diffusivity in a field experiment with biochar and lime

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from arable soil while maintaining productivity is a major challenge for agriculture. Biochar is known to reduce N₂O emissions from soil, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study examined the impact of green waste biochar (20 Mg ha^?1) and lime (CaCO₃; 2 Mg ha^?1) application on soil gas transport properties and related changes in these to soil N₂O and CO₂ emissions measured using automated chambers in a field experiment cropped with maize. In situ soil water content monitoring was combined with laboratory measurements of relative soil gas diffusion coefficient (D_p/D₀) at different matric potentials, to determine changes in D_p/D₀ over time. Cumulative N₂O emissions were similar in the control and lime treatment, but much lower in the biochar treatment. Cumulative CO₂ emissions decreased in the order: lime treatment > biochar treatment > control soil. When N₂O emissions were not driven by excess N supply shortly after fertilisation, they were associated with D_p/D₀ changes, whereby decreases in D_p/D₀ corresponded to N₂O emissions peaks. No distinct pattern was observed between CO₂ emissions and D_p/D₀. Cumulative N₂O emissions were positively related to number of days with D_p/D₀ < 0.02, a critical limit for soil aeration. These results indicate that improved soil gas diffusivity, and hence improved soil aeration, may explain the effect of biochar in reducing N₂O emissions. They also suggest that knowledge of D_p/D₀ changes may be key to explaining N₂O emissions.     

Agricultural suitability of degraded Acrisols and Lixisols of former tea lands in Sri Lanka

Physical and chemical soil degradation hinder the introduction of mixed cropping systems on former tea lands in the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka. For instance on two typical soil catenas soil properties such as texture, pH, acidity parameters, pedogenic oxides and available plant nutrients indicating fertility are presented. Obviously Al³⁺ occupies a larger part of the exchange complex and accounts for more soil acidity than H⁺. Al toxicity is hence a major restricting factor for plant growth in the area. The investigated data also permit an evaluation of soil erodibility and a soil fertility assessment according to the Fertility Capability Classification System (Sanchez et al., 1982). Agricultural measures to reduce soil acidity and cover the lime requirements of the soils are advised. Additional soil conservation measures should diminish soil erosion in order to improve the sustainability of the cropping systems.     

土壤孔隙结构与土壤微环境和有机碳周转关系的研究进展

土壤结构是土壤功能的基础,不仅影响土壤养分的供应、水分的保持及渗透、气体的交换等过程,还为土壤微生物提供了物理生境,并调控土壤有机碳的周转这一关键过程。土壤的孔隙特征能够直接、真实地反映土壤结构的好坏;用土壤的孔隙特征作为试验指标能更好地反映土壤结构对这些过程的调节作用。在此基础上,将高度异质性的土壤孔隙结构同土壤微环境的变化和土壤有机碳的周转过程进行定量分析,对深入了解土壤结构在土壤生态系统中的功能至关重要。因此,着重从土壤孔隙结构对土壤微环境的影响及其与有机碳的关系两方面展开,剖析土壤孔隙结构调控作用下的土壤微环境响应过程,阐述土壤孔隙结构对土壤有机碳周转产生的直接、间接影响,强调土壤孔隙结构在调节土壤有机碳周转进程中的重要作用,并对土壤孔隙结构在调节土壤有机碳周转、植物残体分解及其与微生物协调作用机制等方面研究提出展望。

喷灌和畦灌对冬小麦农田表层土壤结构的影响

A two-year experiment was carried out on the effect of sprinkler irrigation on the topsoil structure in a winter wheat field. A border-irrigated field was used as the control group. The total soil porosity, pore size distribution, pore shape distribution, soil cracks and soil compaction were measured. The sprinkler irrigation brought significant changes to the total soil porosity, capillary porosity, air-filled porosity and pore shape of topsoil layers in comparison with the border irrigation. The total porosity and air-filled porosity of the topsoil in the sprinkler irrigation were higher than those in the border irrigation. The changes in the air-filled and elongated pores were the main reasons for the changes in total porosity. The porosities of round and irregular pores in topsoil under sprinkler irrigation were lower than those under border irrigation. Sprinkler irrigation produced smaller soil cracks than border irrigation did, so sprinkler irrigation may restrain the development of macropore flow in comparison with border irrigation. The topsoil was looser under sprinkler irrigation than under border irrigation. According to the conditions of topsoil structure, it is preferable for crops to grow under sprinkler irrigation than under border irrigation.

Arsenic in field‐collected soil solutions and extracts of contaminated soils and its implication to soil standards

Large concentrations of arsenic in soils, sediments, and freshwaters require risk assessment across the Central Alps and other regions. We measured arsenic concentrations in soil samples collected from 38 sites located in the Austrian Central Alps that had been contaminated due to mining and smelter activities and geogenic mineralization. Medians and ranges of arsenic concentrations (in mg kg^—1) in the soil solid phase were: 77.1 (1—3000) for the total (As_t), 19.2 (0—726) for (NH₄)₂C₂O₄‐extractable (As_o), 2.35 (0—169) for (NH₄)₂HPO₄‐extractable (As_p), and 0.143 (0—11.1) for (NH₄)₂SO₄‐extractable (As_s) arsenic. Arsenic concentrations in soil solutions (As_sol) collected from organic surface layers and mineral horizons at five selected sites using suction cups fitted with nylon membranes ranged from 0 to 171 μg l^—1. Typically, the prevailing species of As in the soil solution was As(V). As_sol was correlated with As_s (As_sol = 0.279 + 15.6 As_s; r² = 0.938; n = 17) and As_t (As_sol = 1.272 + 0.043 As_t; r² = 0.833; n = 17). Using these empirical models, As_sol can be predicted quite accurately based on extraction with 0.05 M (NH₄)₂SO₄ or total arsenic concentrations in the soil. Linking these models to drinking water standards (DWS) we propose soil standards for freshwater protection that vary for As_s (mg kg^—1) between 0.62 (for DWS = 10 μg l^—1 WHO) and 3.19 (for DWS = 50 μg l^—1). Corresponding standards for As_t (mg kg^—1) are 203 (DWS = 10 μg l^—1) and 1133 (DWS = 50 μg l^—1). These considerations demonstrate that changes in legislation on DWS may have dramatic impact on As concentrations in soil that are acceptable for groundwater protection.     

A Pedological Characterisation of Some Inland Wetlands and Ramsar Sites in Algeria

This paper aims to characterise soils of 12 wetlands, of which ten are Ramsar sites, in the ecocomplex of wetlands of the Hauts Plateaux region in Northeast Algeria. Soil samples from every site were collected following the four cardinal directions, along a transect covering the peripheral vegetation belts, and from two depths of the surface horizon. Each soil sample was analysed to determine electrical conductivity, pH, total carbonates, gypsum, chlorides, bicarbonates, sulfates and the particle size. The soil texture and chemical facies (Cl–SO₄–HCO₃) of each site were identified and discussed. Changes in physicochemical parameters were tested according to the spatial features of sites (orientations, vegetation transects and sample depth). A great heterogeneity was found between soils of sampled sites. Indeed, soil physicochemical characteristics differed from one site to another and between belts of the natural vegetation within the same site. Overall, the study wetlands were characterised by salty to very salty soils (electrical conductivity = 3·46 ± 2·44 dS m⁻¹), of neutral to alkaline pH (6·9–8·1), moderately calcareous (CaCO₃ ranged between 15·7% and 33·7%) and little to extremely gypsiferous (gypsium varied from 2·1% to 39·4%). The dominant soil texture classes were medium textures (loam, sandy loam or silty clay loam). Chemically, chlorides (18·5 ± 16·3 Meq/100 g) and/or sulfates (16·5 ± 12·5 Meq/100 g) dominated soil solutions of these environments but with slight bicarbonate contents (0·6 ± 2·6 Meq/100 g). Moreover, there were poor correlations between physicochemical parameters, which indicates interactions between certain parameters under the effect of specific habitat conditions.

黄土丘陵区退耕地土壤水分入渗特征及影响因素

为评价退耕还林（草）工程的成效及认识下垫面改变对土壤水文过程的影响,采用圆盘入渗仪以4．6、8年退耕地为对象,长芒草草地为对照在黄土丘陵区分层（表层、20cm、40cm）研究退耕地土壤水分入渗特征,并探讨其影响因素。结果表明：1）较短年限退耕地表层土壤入渗能力较天然草地差,而下层入渗能力较天然草地强;2）退耕地下层的初始入渗速率是表层的1．2—1．4倍,稳定入渗率是表层的1．9—2．8倍,饱和导水率是表层的1．9—3．0倍;3）随着退耕年限增加,表层土壤入渗能力下降,而下层入渗能力增强;4）土壤结皮阻碍退耕地表层土壤的入渗。     

设施栽培下原状土与扰动土水分特性的试验研究

以四川省双流县设施栽培土壤为研究对象,对其原状土与扰动土的土壤水分特征曲线、水分物理性质和比水容量等项目进行了研究。结果表明,扰动土水分特征曲线总体变化趋势与原状土较为一致。在低吸力阶段,相同吸力条件下扰动土含水量高于原状土,在高吸力阶段两者差异较小。扰动土毛管孔隙度、总孔度和凋萎含水量在剖面上的总体变化趋势与原状土较为一致。扰动土不同土层田间持水量和有效水含量差异较小,原状土的田间持水量和有效水含量均随土层加深而减少。在低吸力阶段,相同吸力条件下扰动土比水容量远高于原状土,但随土壤水吸力增加,扰动土比水容量变化趋势逐渐与原状土一致。     

土壤水分和氮添加对3种质地紫色土氮矿化及土壤pH的影响

为正确认识土壤水分、质地和外源氮添加对紫色土氮矿化作用和土壤pH的影响,以西南地区典型的紫色土为研究对象,通过90d的室内恒温(25℃)好气培养,研究了3种质地(粘土、粉粘壤土和砂土)紫色土在不同含水量(55%,65%和75%田间持水量)和尿素氮添加水平(0mg/kg土和250mg/kg土.)条件下,土壤氮矿化作用和pH的变化。结果表明:前30d的累积矿化氮量可占培养期间(90d)的78.48%~91.55%,且各处理的土壤累积矿化氮量和净矿化速率均随着培养时间的延长而快速增加;第30~90d,土壤累积矿化氮量增长缓慢,净矿化速率迅速下降并趋于稳定。土壤累积矿化氮量和净矿化速率在各培养阶段均随土壤水分含量的增加而逐渐增大,其中75%WHC(75%田间持水量)和75%WHC+U(75%田间持水量+尿素)处理的矿化作用最强。土壤质地从一定程度上对土壤的矿化产生影响,但其影响并不显著。外源氮添加能促进土壤氮矿化,其净氮矿化量和净矿化速率在各培养阶段均极显著(p0.01)高于未加氮处理,分别为未施氮处理的1.68~4.56倍,0.60~6.47倍。外源氮添加使土壤pH显著下降,55%WHC+U、65%WHC+U和75%WHC+U处理分别下降了0.57,0.66,0.72个pH单位,土壤有酸化趋势。土壤pH值与土壤氮素净矿化速率呈极显著线性相关,净矿化速率对pH变化贡献巨大。总之,土壤含水量增加和外源氮添加均促进了土壤氮矿化,增加了土壤矿质氮含量,同时外源氮添加也加速了土壤pH下降,土壤有酸化趋势。     

微塑料输入与秸秆添加对潮土和黄棕壤氮淋溶的影响

为探究微塑料输入与秸秆添加对农田土壤氮淋溶的影响，以潮土和黄棕壤为研究对象，每种土壤各设置8个处理，包括对照（CK）、低量微塑料（PE1）、中量微塑料（PE2）、高量微塑料（PE3）、秸秆（S）、秸秆+低量微塑料（S+PE1）、秸秆+中量微塑料（S+PE2）、秸秆+高量微塑料（S+PE3），研究了添加秸秆与不添加秸秆条件下，不同微塑料输入量对土壤氮淋溶的影响。结果表明，仅添加微塑料条件下，与对照（CK）相比，潮土PE1、PE2、PE3处理总氮（TN）淋溶量均无显著差异，黄棕壤仅PE1处理显著增加了TN淋溶量。在添加秸秆（S）处理中，与对照（CK）相比，潮土添加秸秆后显著降低了硝态氮（NO₃^--N）、铵态氮（NH₄⁺-N）、TN淋溶量，分别降低了31.15%、13.45%、15.26%，黄棕壤添加秸秆后显著增加了TN淋溶量，增加了22.56%。添加秸秆处理相较于不添加秸秆处理，潮土各浓度微塑料输入下NO₃^--N、NH₄⁺-N、TN的累计淋溶量呈降低趋势，而黄棕壤低量微塑料输入降低了TN淋溶量，高量微塑料输入增加了TN淋溶量。偏最小二乘路径模型（PLS-PM）分析表明，在潮土中添加秸秆主要通过影响淋溶液pH和NO₃^--N淋溶量影响氮素淋溶，微塑料添加量对氮淋溶无显著影响；在黄棕壤中添加秸秆主要通过影响淋溶液NO₃^--N、NH₄⁺-N淋溶量影响氮淋溶，微塑料添加量主要通过影响淋溶液NH₄⁺-N淋溶量影响氮淋溶。研究结果可为农田土壤微塑料污染风险的管控及减少土壤氮素的淋失提供依据。

我国主要菜区土壤盐分、酸碱性和肥力状况

从全国主要菜区采取1201个典型菜田耕层土壤样品,对主要菜区土壤盐分、酸碱性和肥力（OM、NO3--N及速效P和K）状况进行了研究。结果表明,（1）全国温室和大棚菜田土壤次生盐渍化严重,土壤硝酸根的积累是引起土壤次生盐化的重要原因之一,而土壤硝酸盐积累是氮肥过量施用所致。全国主要菜区温室和大棚土壤电导率高于蔬菜正常生长土壤电导率临界值（600 ?s/cm）的土样数分别占其总土样数的28.1%和29.3%,居于超高盐度水平（≧1000 ?s/cm）的土样数分别占9.5%和14.9%。温室和大棚土壤电导率与土壤硝态氮含量之间均呈极显著的正相关（温室:n = 285, r = 0.76**;大棚:n = 348, r = 0.86**）。（2）全国主要菜区土壤有机质含量普遍处于中低水平,土壤有机质含量低于其临界值（20 g/kg）的土样数占总土样数的36.9%,处于高含量水平（≧40 g/kg）的仅为10.0%。（3）温室和大棚土壤硝态氮和速效磷大量积累,对生态环境构成了严重威胁。全国主要菜区温室和大棚土壤硝态氮含量居于高含量水平（≧150 mg/kg）的土样数分别占其总土样数的33.0%和30.7%,土壤速效P含量居于高含量水平（≧150 mg/kg）的土样数分别占其总土样数的59.3%和35.3%。（4）北方温室和大棚菜田土壤酸碱度中性化明显,北方主要菜区温室和大棚土壤pH值（分别平均为7.2和7.3;温室:n = 270,大棚:n = 143）显著低于露地土壤（平均7.7,n = 155）。     

Changes in profile distribution and chemical properties of natural nanoparticles in paddy soils as affected by long-term rice cultivation

Systematic studies on the genesis, properties, and distribution of natural nanoparticles(NNPs) in soil remain scarce. This study examined a soil chronosequence of continuous paddy field land use for periods ranging from 0 to 1 000 years to determine how NNPs in soil changed at the early stages of soil genesis in eastern China. Soil samples were collected from coastal reclaimed paddy fields that were cultivated for 0, 50, 100, 300, 700, and 1 000 years.Natural nanoparticles were isolated and characterized along with bulk soil samples( 2-mm fraction) for selected physical and chemical properties. The NNP content increased with increasing soil cultivation age at 60 g m-2 year-1, which was related to decreasing soil electrical conductivity(172–1 297 μS cm-1) and NNP zeta potentials(from-22 to-36 m V) with increasing soil cultivation age. Changes in several NNP properties, such as pedogenic iron oxide and total organic carbon contents, were consistent with those of the bulk soils across the soil chronosequence. Notably, changes in NNP iron oxide content were obvious and illustrated active chemical weathering, pedogenesis, and potential impacts on the microbial community. Redundancy analysis demonstrated that the soil cultivation age was the most important factor affecting NNP properties, contributing 60.7% of the total variation. Cluster and principal component analysis(PCA) revealed splitting of NNP samples into age groups of 50–300 and 700–1 000 years, indicating rapid evolution of NNP properties, after an initial period of desalinization(approximately 50 years). Overall, this study provides new insights into NNP evolution in soil during pedogenesis and predicting their influences on agriculture and ecological risks over millennial-scale rice cultivation.
