Mikroskalige Variabilität der Bodenlösungschemie - Ergebnisse eines Laborversuchs zum Vergleich von Standard- und Mikro-Saugkerzen

Microscalic variability of soil solution chemistry - results of a laboratory experiment comparing standard - with micro suction cups In a laboratory experiment with an undisturbed soil column, the chemistry of soil solution collected by a standard suction cup (Ø 2 cm) was compared with that of 20 micro suction cups (Ø I mm) installed in the same soil depth. The standard cup showed comparable concentrations of inorganic anions with the soil column leachate, because preferably the main water paths of the soil column were sampled. In contrast, about 30 % of the micro suction cups sample soil compartments that have a different solution chemistry. In these cases the differences between standard and micro suction cups decrease in the order nitrate, chloride, sulfate. Standard suction cups seem to be the right sampling device for the investigation of element fluxes through soil. To get information about plant availability of ions they are inadequate, due to their dimension. Here micro suction cups are more appropriate, because their dimension is comparable to plant roots.     

Die Stabilität von Sandböden in Abhängigkeit vom Gehalt an organischer Substanz und deren Humifizierungsgrad

The Stability of Sandy Soils and its Dependence on Humification Degree and Content of Organic Matter The influence of organic matter on the strength parameters cohesion and friction angle was investigated with mixtures of a fine sand and 0-8% peat of different humification degrees - determined by using a thermobalance - and under different soil water suction. The results show that the strength parameters cohesion and friction angle increase with increasing organic matter content, but the increase is greater with lower humification degree. Especially if the organic matter content is lower than 5%, cohesion and friction angle depend on soil water suction and have a maximum in the range of about 50 hPa soil water suction. A simplified model based on the capillary theory for the calculation of cohesion was proposed to explain the influence of content and humification degree of organic matter on cohesion. One possible reason for the lower cohesion with higher humification degree is its lower wettability. The dependence of friction angle on soil water suction and humification degree of organic matter needs further examinations.     

Upscaling spatio‐temporal patterns of cation fluxes in acid forest soils

One main problem with current research on spatio‐temporal modeling of ion fluxes in forest soils is the separation of space and time effects in the soil‐monitoring concept. This article describes an approach to overcome this weakness. Time trends of point information on soil‐solution data (base‐cation concentrations and fluxes) are scaled by linking them to soil‐chemical data which is available in higher spatial resolution and can be upscaled to an area base. This approach is based on a combined evaluation of bulk soil and soil‐solution data using both statistical and process‐oriented methods. Multiple‐linear‐regression analyses coupled with geostatistics were developed to predict spatial patterns of exchangeable cation percentages. In a second step, empirical ion‐distribution coefficients were adapted according to Gapon using data of suction‐cup plots and bulk‐soil samples. Seasonally adjusted time‐series data of soil‐solution chemistry were then connected with the maps of the predicted exchangeable‐cation percentages by means of the Gapon equations. This evaluation step provided both time‐ and space‐dependent maps of cation concentrations in the soil solution. Finally, using the results of a water‐budget model it was possible to derive spatio‐temporal patterns of soil cation fluxes. Methodological limitations and the results of verification processes are discussed. The methods described can only be used in acidic soils and should not be used in soil layers rich in humus, since adsorption to C compounds differs from adsorption to clay minerals. The time increments of the models should be not shorter than yearly in order to suppress annual periodicity. Although the Gapon equations were not based on laboratory‐determined exchange solutions at quasi‐equilibrium, but rather on field data from the suction‐cup technique, the exchangeable‐cation percentages showed steady functions of selectivity coefficients. The methods tested at a watershed scale may be flexible enough to be applied at other scales as well.     

Combined tensiometer–solution sampling probe

Variables needed to characterize solute transport in soils are soil water pressure (SWP) and solute concentration, which are typically obtained from tensiometers and suction solution samplers, respectively. In this paper we describe a combined tension–solution sampling probe that measures SWP, and allows extraction of soil solution during or between SWP measurements. A separate porous ceramic cup and ring to be used for the tensiometer and suction solution sampler were built into a single unit. Laboratory soil column experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of the combined tension–solution probe, and the data obtained were compared with those from using separate tensiometer and suction solution samplers. Differences in tensiometric measurements were attributed to differences in size between the tensiometers. An apparent increase in pore water solution concentration as soil water potential is decreased could be explained by anion exclusion.     

Long-term effect of ploughing, and organic matter input on soil moisture characteristics of a Ferric Lixisol in Burkina Faso

Soil moisture characteristic curves were determined in long-term trials at the agronomic research center of Saria (latitude 12°16′ N, longitude 2°09′ W) in West-central Burkina Faso. The agronomic treatments combined soil tillage with organic and chemical fertilizers. The twin values for soil moisture and water potential showed that on ploughed plots, moisture content was higher at low suction and lower at high suction than the hand hoed plots. Moisture contents were higher for extreme suctions (pF < 1.5 and >3) on plots that received high dose of animal manure. The bush fallow plots behaved as a ploughed plot at low suction and like a hand hoed plot at the high suction. Field capacities were around 9.50% (g/g) and 8% (g/g), respectively, for hand hoed and ploughed plots, while the wilting points for both were of 5–6% (g/g). Organic matter input improved field capacity and soil water content at wilting point but not the useful available water (UAW). The UAW ≥10 mm on the fallow and the control, while it was <9 mm on the other treatments in 0–20 cm soil layer. Soil structural modifications induced by tillage and organic matter input explained these differences in soil hydrologic regime.     

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。     

再生水水质对斥水和亲水土壤水分特征曲线的影响

为探求再生水灌溉对斥水和亲水土壤水力特性的影响,该文选用有代表性的斥水黏壤土和亲水黏壤土、斥水砂土和亲水砂土,测定其在自来水、再生水和其他4种生活污水条件下的土壤水分特征曲线,采用主成分分析法得到不同水质综合指标,分析水质综合指标对不同土壤水分特征曲线的影响,采用van Genuchten-Mualem模型对黏壤土土-水曲线的参数进行拟合,并分析水质综合指标对黏壤土累积当量孔径分布、比水容量和水分常数的影响。结果表明:在相同基质吸力情况下,黏壤土含水率随水质综合指标增加(水质变差)而减小,砂土的含水率随水质变化不大;在低吸力段,斥水和亲水黏壤土的比水容量随水质综合指标的增加而增加;土壤进气值与水质综合指标呈显著负线性相关关系(R~2分别为0.94和0.78);相同水质条件下,斥水土壤的进气值比亲水土壤小;随着水质综合指标的增加,斥水和亲水黏壤土的极微孔隙降低,而中等孔隙和大孔隙增加,小于某当量孔径的累积百分比增加;随着水质综合指标的增加,斥水和亲水黏壤土的田间持水率、凋萎系数、有效水和易利用水比例均减小,但再生水对田间持水率和易利用水比例降低作用不显著。研究结果可为大面积再生水灌溉及其管理提供一定的理论依据。     

中国几种主要土壤的持水性质

土壤的持水性是指土壤吸持水分的能力。在对植物的有效范围内,土壤所吸持的水分是由土壤孔隙的毛管引力和土壤颗粒的分子引力所引起的,这两种力现在统称为土壤吸力,或基质吸力,它相当于土壤总水势中的基质势。

土壤基质吸力与土壤微生物活性关系的研究

研究了土壤微生物活性与土壤基膜吸力的关系，将土壤发泡点，即土壤导气率由0突变为非0时的基质吸力，与微生物的最高呼吸活性相联系，试图证明土壤微生物的最高活性发生于略高于土壤发泡点的基模吸力。对粗沙土、细沙土和砂壤土三种轻质地土壤的测定表明，土壤微生物的最高呼吸活性发生在略高于土壤发泡吸力的基质吸力。土壤基模吸力较小时微生物活性到达最高值的速度较慢，土壤基模吸力在发泡点附近时，微生物活性到达最高值的速度较快。     

Effect of moisture and disaggregation on the microbial activity of soil

Soil moisture and physical conditions may influence biological activity by affecting the habitat and conditions for the life of microorganisms. In this work, the dehydrogenase activity (DHA) of a vineyard soil was measured at different moisture conditions, in different aggregate size fractions, and after breaking the existing aggregates. The highest values of DHA (144 mg TPF kg⁻¹ day⁻¹) were found for the undisturbed soil at a suction pressure of 0.1 MPa, and decreasing values were obtained at pressures above and below that water potential. The disruption of the aggregates strongly reduced the biological activity at suction pressures under 0.1 MPa, but had no effect in drier conditions. Both in disturbed and undisturbed soil, an important part of the biological activity remained at high suction pressures (over 0.1 MPa), with DHA values around 50% of the maximum values. This shows that an important part of the soil microbiota is highly resistant to extreme drought conditions.     

土壤水吸力对控释尿素养分释放特征的影响

为探究不同土壤水吸力对控释尿素养分释放的影响,根据供试壤质砂土的水分特征曲线设置了6种不同土壤水吸力的处理,采用25℃恒温土壤模拟实验,测定土壤中控释尿素的养分释放特征。结果表明,土壤水吸力为0 k Pa时恒温土壤培养法与静水浸提法测得的控释尿素养分释放特征无显著差异。土壤水吸力为75 k Pa、30 k Pa和0 k Pa的3个处理,测定的土壤孔隙中空气相对湿度均为95%以上,土壤水汽饱和,释放期基本相同,表明在不考虑水分流动及养分扩散状况影响时,土壤水分条件已不再是影响控释尿素养分释放的主要因素。土壤水吸力525 k Pa和260 k Pa(土壤孔隙中空气相对湿度分别为84%和91%)时释放期分别为416.4 d和120.0 d,相对于土壤水饱和时释放期(63.6 d)的相对相差分别为146.8%和59.1%,远超过《控释肥料》行业标准规定的允许差(20%),表明控释尿素的释放率和释放期受到土壤水吸力过高的抑制。土壤水吸力大小直接影响土壤孔隙空气湿度的饱和与否,土壤水吸力对控释尿素养分释放的影响通过土壤水汽作用于肥料颗粒实现。     

秸秆施入深度对土壤水分运移和水吸力变化的影响

为了研究秸秆还田下秸秆施入深度对土壤水分运移和水吸力变化的影响,通过室内模拟试验,对不同秸秆施入深度条件下土壤水分运移分布特性进行了模拟。玉米秸秆粉碎成<5 mm的小段且干燥放置,在秸秆施入深度内按干土重的1%配比均匀混施。设置无秸秆还田(CK)、秸秆施入深度15 cm(S15)、秸秆施入深度20 cm(S20)、秸秆施入深度25 cm(S25)、秸秆施入深度30 cm(S30)5个处理,并用微型张力计(T5)测定土壤水吸力值。结果表明:秸秆施入深度对土壤水分入渗特性有影响。随着秸秆施入深度的增加,土壤湿润锋运移距离和累积入渗量减小;秸秆施入深度对湿润锋运移影响较明显;相同入渗深度下,含有秸秆土层的含水量比不含有秸秆土层的含水量明显增加。秸秆施入深度对土壤水吸力有重要影响,土壤水吸力的变化反映了土层中水分的变化,不同土层深度下,土壤水吸力的变化趋势大致相同。不同秸秆施入深度,导致各处理在同一土层深度下,土壤水吸力峰值和达到峰值的时间出现差异,秸秆施入深度越深,土壤水吸力的峰值相对较大,达到峰值的时间相对较长。     

Micro-scale variation of solid-phase properties and soil solution chemistry in a forest podzol and its relation to soil horizons

In order to evaluate micro-scale heterogeneities 55 micro suction cups were placed in an array at 15 mm intervals in a profile face of a cambic podzol. The chemistry of soil solution (mineral anions, pH, UV absorption as a measure for DOC) was compared with solid-phase properties from soil samples (2 cm³ volume), which had surrounded the suction cups. Sequential extraction techniques (water, NF₄Cl, hydroxylamin-hydrochloride, citrate-bicarbonate, oxalate, dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate) and base titrations were applied to characterize the solid phase. Although the average soil solution concentrations between horizons often differed significantly, the spatial distributions of pH and SO₄^2? did not correlate with soil horizon borders. Even if concentration isolines and soil horizon borders were parallel, marked concentration gradients could be observed within individual soil horizons. The less intense the interaction between solute ion and soil matrix, the greater was the variation in solution concentration within a soil horizon. For the soil solid phase only a weak correlation of slow buffer reactions to soil horizons was found. The distribution of extractable Fe and Al was typical for a podzol profile, however, with very steep gradients within single soil horizons. Except for pH, which was related mainly to citrate-bicarbonate extractable aluminium, no solid-phase characteristic showed a clear correlation with soil solution chemistry.     

Einfluss des Porenwasserdruckes auf die Zugfestigkeit von Bodenproben

Effect of pore water pressure on tensile strength Direct tensile testing with measurements of the pore water suction was used to investigate the relationship between tensile strength and suction. The tests were conducted on a till and a clayey soil, both homogenized. A closer view is focused on the relationship between material strain and the development of suction. Beyond, the factor χ of the effective stress equation for unsaturated soils by Bishop (1959), which was calculated by the data of tensile strength and corresponding matric suction is compared to the volumetric χ of the tested soil specimens. It could be shown, that the pore water pressure changes with strain. Therefore, not the initial suction of a soil is relevant for its failure but the actual one that can be measured in the failure zone at the moment of fracture. In addition the application of the volumetric χ in the effective stress equation compared to the χ derived from tensile testing leads to an 1.6 to 2.8 fold overestimation of the contribution of matric suction to soil tensile strength.     

基于土-水特征曲线的植物边坡抗剪强度研究

土-水特征曲线通常用于估计非饱和土壤的抗剪强度,但是由于植物根系的吸水作用和加筋效应,使得植物边坡的抗剪强度不能直接利用基于基质吸力的非饱和土抗剪强度计算公式进行计算。以裸露边坡和植被边坡为研究对象,采用张力计现场测试和室内剪切试验相结合的方法,拟合水土特征曲线关系。结果表明:(1)植物根系的植入有效地提高了边坡土体的进气值,较素土进气吸力值增幅41.10%。在同等含水率条件下,植物边坡基质吸力明显大于素土边坡,提高了边坡土体的持水能力。(2)边坡红黏土基质吸力与含水率的关系符合V-G模型,利用最小二乘法得到模型参数。(3)随着体积含水率的增大,带根土与素土的抗剪强度参数值变化趋势大致相同,均呈现先增大后减小的趋势,但带根土的变化参数大,当含水率21.29%时,带根土黏聚力相较于素土增加了4.86 kPa,增幅18.55%,而内摩擦角对根系存在的敏感程度不如黏聚力。(4)随着土壤基质吸力不断增大,植被边坡与素土边坡的抗剪强度力学参数变化趋势大体相同,当土基质吸力为60～90 kPa土体的黏聚力提高最为明显,但植被边坡由于植物根系的存在,土体内基质吸力对边坡土体的抗剪强度提高幅度更大,黏聚力与内摩擦角最大增长幅度分别为37.34%和40.30%。通过建立土-水特征曲线参数与植物边坡抗剪强度的关系,可计算不同含水率或基质吸力条件下植物边坡的抗剪强度,为进一步分析工程实际中植物边坡的稳定性提供理论依据。     

刚察县不同植被类型的土壤水分特征研究

通过对土壤的物理性质和水分特征曲线的测定,分析了刚察县4种植被类型土壤的持水性能和供水性能。结果表明,不同植被类型土壤水分特征曲线与Van Genuchten模型非常符合,R2值都高达0.99以上,说明用Van Genuchten模型描述不同类型土壤水分数量和能量之间的关系是比较准确的。不同植被类型土壤的物理性黏粒含量为:油菜地>高草地>草灌地,土壤容重为:高草地>草灌地>油菜地,而总孔隙度为:油菜地>草灌地>高草地,表明油菜地土壤水分物理性质明显优于草灌地和高草地。土壤持水能力随着土壤吸力的增加而呈现先急剧递减后变化平缓的趋势,不同植被类型土壤持水能力为:高草地>草灌地>油菜地。通过改善土壤结构,增加土壤密度和降低土壤总孔隙度等改善土壤物理性质的措施能对其持水性能产生积极作用。土壤供水能力随着土壤吸力的增加而递减,低吸力段高草地和稠密草灌地的土壤供水性能均优于油菜地和稀疏草灌地,而高吸力段油菜地和稠密草灌地的土壤供水性能优于高草地和稀疏草灌地,表明高草地和稀疏草灌地植被极易受到干旱的威胁。     

The desorption solution — an alternative approach to measure water soluble ions in soils

Although the composition of the soil solution has important ecological information, there is no general consensus for obtaining and analyzing of the soil solution. This study presents an alternative procedure to obtain the soil solution and determine all relevant anions and cations. The soil samples are taken with an auger. 10—20 g of field moist soil are desorbed in a pressure chamber at 170 kPa (pF 3.2), with a cellulose acetate membrane filter (∅︁ < 0.45 μm) as capillar bridge between the interior and exterior of the chamber. The desorption procedure is performed at 4°C for 24 hours and yields up to 1.0 ml soil solution, depending on the actual water potential. If more soil solution is needed, the soil may be replaced by another aliquot of the same sample. 0.15 ml of soil solution is sufficient for analysing all cations and anions, which account quantitatively for the ion balance with a capillary electrophoresis. Compared with suction cups, ion concentrations in desorption solutions are, although generally lower, in the same order of magnitude. The advantage of this method is that no field equipment is needed, apart from the auger. Even in heterogeneous forest soils, water soluble ions can be monitored with a high spatial resolution and without any dilution effects, which are common in the most laboratory methods. The problem of lacking spatial representativity in stationary lysimeter stations is also overcome. Additionally it is possible to obtain and analyze soil solutions in a suction range where suction cups fail.     

陕西省洛川县第3-4层黄土和古土壤水分特征研究

通过对陕西省洛川县第3—4黄土层和第3—4红色古土壤层的原状土进行水分特征曲线、田间持水量等项目的实验测定,分析计算了各层土壤的供水储水性能及有效水分含量。结果表明,洛川第3—4黄土层和第3—4红色古土壤土层的水分特征曲线与Van Genuchten模型非常符合,相关系数R2均达0.99以上,说明采用Van Genuchten模型对这4个土层的水分含量和能量之间的关系进行描述是比较准确的。0～30kPa吸力条件下,第3—4黄土层比第3—4红色古土壤层持水量高,黄土层的供水(释水)性能和储水性能强于古土壤。这4个土层随着吸力的增加,在较低吸力段供水性能和储水性能减弱幅度较大,在较高吸力段减弱幅度较小。黄土层所能容纳的有效水含量、饱和含水量与田间持水量均大于红色古土壤层,黄土层的稳定凋萎湿度一般小于红色古土壤的稳定凋萎湿度。
