上海地区土壤持水特性研究

土壤水的研究,从Henri Darcy(1856)提出达西定律算起,已有一百多年历史.经历了由经验到理论、由静态到动态、由定性到定量、由宏观到微观逐步深入发展的过程^[1].1877年Briggs L.J.提出毛管假说,将土壤孔隙组成的孔道看成是一些大小不同的毛细管,认为表面张力是土壤保持水分的主要原因.     

斥水剂作用下非饱和土壤抗剪强度测定及其变化规律

为获得斥水性土壤抗剪强度的变化规律,采用二甲基二氯硅烷(dimethyldichlorosilane,DMDCS)作为斥水剂,获得了不同斥水程度的改性砂土。在此基础上配制了不同斥水剂体质比和不同含水率的改性砂土及不同亲水黏土质量分数的改性混合土,并采用非饱和土直剪仪开展了不固结不排水剪强度试验。结果表明:1)不同DMDCS体质比下的5种改性砂土斥水等级均为极度。改性混合土的斥水等级受DMDCS和黏土含量的共同影响。相同DMDCS体质比下,随着黏土含量的增加,改性混合土的斥水性能不断减弱;相同黏土含量下,随着DMDCS体质比的增加,改性混合土的斥水性能不断增大。2)不同DMDCS体质比、含水率及黏土含量下的改性土壤抗剪强度均可用摩尔-库仑强度准则描述。DMDCS体质比从0增至1%时,黏聚力从19.6陡降至10.4 kPa,随后缓慢降低,最终趋于稳定。内摩擦角则随着DMDCS体质比的增加缓慢减小,从0时的16.2o降至3%时的11.8o;随着含水率的增加,改性砂土黏聚力逐渐减小,而内摩擦角呈先升后降形态;随着黏土含量的增加,改性混合土黏聚力显著增大,内摩擦角表现为先升后降,变幅不大。纯改性砂土的黏聚力仅为9.3 kPa,而掺入5%的黏土时,其黏聚力骤升至27.2 kPa;当黏土质量分数为50%时,混合土黏聚力为55.1 kPa;内摩擦角最大值为16.2°(黏土质量分数15%),最小值为9.7°(黏土质量分数50%)。该成果可为深入研究斥水性土壤力学性能及工程应用提供参考。     

Water Repellence of Cultivated Organic Soils

Abstract

A range of cultivated organic soils was studied with respect to water repellence. All soils were wettable above a water content of approximately 30-50 % (v/v). Below this critical content, most soils showed a varying degree of water repellence. Well decomposed peat had lower infiltration rates than moderately decomposed peat. Lightly crushing the peat soil before measurement increased the infiltration rate compared with an undisturbed soil sample. In tests with aqueous ethanol of different molarity, peat soils showed greater repellence than gyttja soils. All moss peat layers were extremely water repellent and fen peats slightly less repellent. Water repellence did not occur on gyttja clay and marl gyttja.     

New classification systems for tropical organic-rich deposits based on studies of the Tasek Bera Basin,Malaysia

Most schemes in common use for field and laboratory classification of peats were developed in boreal and humid temperate regions and do not recognize the distinctive features and specific uses of tropical peats, such as those of the Tasek Bera Basin in tropical Peninsular Malaysia. The important aspects of peat texture (morphology of constituents and their arrangement) and laboratory ash content (residue after ignition) need modification to be valuable for classifying these and other tropical peat deposits. In the Tasek Bera Basin, most of the deposits would not be considered as peat according to some classification schemes, even though most have C contents >25%. We propose a new three-group (fibric, hemic, sapric) field texture classification applicable to tropical organic deposits, which is similar to the system of the US Soil Taxonomy. The classification is based on the following factors: (1) visual examination of the morphology of the peat constituents (texture); and (2) estimates of fiber content and matrix (finest fraction of peat consisting of highly humified organic matter and inorganic material). The classification is applicable to all organic deposits with <65% ash (i.e., >35% loss on ignition). We also present a new laboratory classification of organic soils based on ash and C content. The US Soil Taxonomy classifies organic soils as having more than 12–18% organic C, depending on clay content. Ash content and these limits for organic soils allow the discrimination of four main groups: peat, muck, organic-rich soil/sediment and mineral soil/sediment. Peat is defined as having an ash content of 0–55%, muck 55–65%, organic-rich soil/sediment 65–80% and mineral soil/sediment 80–100%. The peat class is further subdivided into very low ash (0–5%), low ash (5–15%), medium ash (15–25%), high ash (25–40%) and very high ash (40–55%) subclasses.     

SOIL SUCTION BY THE RAPID METHOD: AN APPARATUS WITH EXTENDED RANGE

In the rapid method of measuring soil suction the sample is placed on a porous plate attached to a capillary flow tube containing water. A suction is applied to the flow tube and rapidly adjusted to equal the suction of the soil, without change of soil-moisture content. A form of the apparatus is described which has provision for very convenient and rapid adjustment of the applied suction by the use of either a vacuum pump or an air piston. The range of the apparatus is extended from the usual limit of pF 3 up to pF 3.35 by applying air pressure to a chamber enclosing the sample, using a hand pump. Suction curves for a sand, a silty clay, and a heavy clay illustrate the application of the apparatus, which can readily be constructed in a form suitable for field use.

Hydrophysical Properties of the High-Ash Lowmoor Peat Soils

The water retention curve (WRC), density, botanical composition, and ash contents were determined for high-ash lowmoor peat soils (Rheic Sapric Histosols) developing on the floodplain of the Yakhroma River (Moscow oblast) from the herb–hypnum and hypnum peat enriched in carbonates, agromineral peat soils (Rheic Drainic Sapric Histosols (Mineralic)), and peat soils developed from woody peat underlain by herb, sedge, and woody peat layers (Rheic Sapric Histosols (Lignic)). The WRC was determined by capillarimetric method in the range of water pressure from 0 to 80–90 кPa. For the studied peat soils, the WRC represents a close to linear dependence of the water content on the water pressure in semilogarithmic scale. In contrast to mineral soils, a characteristic point of the air-entry pressure is virtually absent on the WRC of peat soils. The WRC of peat largely depended on their density: denser peat samples were characterized by a higher water content at the same water pressure, which attests to the increased water retention capacity. An increase in the degree of decomposition of peat and its ash content also leads to the rise in the water retention capacity, but the effect of these factors is considerably smaller than the effect of peat density.     

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。     

风化煤对土壤胶体特性的影响

低产土壤是阻碍新疆地区农业生产发展的重要因素之一。这些土壤大部分有机质含$低,并有不同程度地盐碱化,亚待改良。新弧地区拥有较多的风化煤、揭煤、泥炭等资源,其中一些煤呈酸性或强酸性,可溶性有机物含量也较高。近年来,该地区各地群众用这些煤制成的腐铁或将煤粉直接施用于一些低产土壤上,在水稻、玉米、小麦等各种作物上均获得了不同程度的增产效果,其中在板结土、沙性土、粘质土和盐碱土上效果比较显著。连续大t施用煤粉的土壤,群众反映,土壤的肥力也有所提高。     

灌溉灰钙土水盐动态之初步研究

宁夏南部气候干旱,淡水十分缺乏,但苦水资源尚丰,为了提高农业生产,势必发展苦水灌溉。该区为底层盐化灰钙土,苦水灌后大量盐分积累在上层土壤中,导致表土很快发生次生盐渍化,影响农业生产的进一步发展。土壤盐分随水分而运动,两者在行迹上是密切一致的。土壤的积盐和脱盐,就是土壤水分随着灌水及气候季节变化而运动的结果。     

海南岛土壤粘粒矿物特征与土壤系统分类

研究了海南岛不同母质土壤的粘粒矿物特征:都含有较多的高岭石,其中玄武岩发育土壤粘粒中高岭石最多,但其结晶最差。片岩和紫色砂岩发育土壤含相当多的水云母,粘粒部分水云母含量高达40％～45％,石灰岩发育土壤水云母含量亦较高,达20％～37％,此类水云母属二八面体型的水化白云母。玄武岩和花岗岩发育的“湿润”土壤粘粒中针铁矿与赤铁矿的含量之比为（3～4）:1,而花岗岩发育的“常湿”土壤粘粒中只有针铁矿,不见赤铁矿存在,证明土壤中氧化铁矿物的类型是土壤湿润状况的反应,在中国土壤系统分类中可以用来区分“湿润”和“常湿”土壤的一个指标。     

马颊河流域影响土壤盐渍化的几个因素的研究

本研究是根据马颊河流域区域水盐动态监测预报分区定量化的要求进行的室内模拟试验,采用了扰动土的土柱法。试验进行分干土柱的毛管水上升湿润锋的观测与湿土状态的蒸发两个阶段。共3个组合21个处理,在人为控制条件下,仅就地下水(潜水)矿化度、耕层土壤有机质、土体构型等三因素对土壤盐渍化的影响,进行了观测。试验表明:地下水矿化度与土壤积盐量之间存在着极显著的正相关;耕层有机质的含量在1.5%开始有明显的抑制土壤盐渍化的作用;明确了在有粘土夹层的土体中,不能以在风干土柱的毛管水上升速度来推测土壤表层返盐的快慢,而应以在湿润土时,土壤水的蒸发速度为依据。粘土夹层的抑盐作用是随其厚度的增加和层位的升高而加强。     

黏粒质量分数对土壤水分蓄持能力影响的模拟试验

通过人工配制不同质地土壤,测定土壤水分特征参数,研究土壤中黏粒质量分数对其水分蓄持能力的定量影响。结果表明：1）黏粒质量分数对土壤水分蓄持能力有较大影响,土壤持水能力随黏粒质量分数增加而递增。2个水分特征曲线模型——Gardner模型及van Genuchten模型中,表征土壤持水能力的参数均随黏粒质量分数增加而增大。2）黏粒质量分数对土壤比水容量有较大影响,试验土壤在任一水吸力水平下的比水容量值均随其黏粒质量分数增大而增大。3）试验土壤饱和含水量、田间持水量分别与黏粒质量分数呈指数、对数正相关,凋萎系数与黏粒质量分数呈指数正相关。4）试验土壤有效水、迟效水含量随黏粒质量分数增加呈先升高后降低趋势,二者与黏粒质量分数均呈抛物线关系,最高点分别出现在黏粒质量分数为35.9%和35.8%处,易效水含量与黏粒质量分数相关性不显著。研究结果可为黄土区土壤水分蓄持机制进一步研究提供一定理论依据。     

Uneven moisture patterns in water repellent soils

In the Netherlands, water repellent soils are widespread and they often show irregular moisture patterns, which lead to accelerated transport of water and solutes to the groundwater and surface water. Under grasscover, spatial variability in soil moisture content is high due to fingered flow, in arable land vegetation and microtopography play a dominant role. Examples are given of uneven soil moisture patterns in water repellent sand, loam, clay and peat soils with grasscover, and in cropped water repellent sandy soils. In addition, the influence of fungi on inducing soil moisture patterns is illustrated as well.     

ROTHAMSTED STUDIES OF SOIL STRUCTURE III

The response of three pairs of soils having contrasting management behaviour to changes in water content was investigated by measuring moisture characteristics, shrinkage, and pore size distributions by mercury porosimetry. Sample preparation for mercury porosimetry was by direct drying, or water replacement by methanol and liquid CO₂ followed by evaporation above the critical temperature. In heavy textured horizons, water release on shrinkage between -0.05 and -15 bar matric potentials occurs when pores of 10–200 nm equivalent plate separation contract. Structure development is dependent on the stability and regeneration of pores in the size range 200 nm-30 μm during cycles of wetting and drying. Soils with little stable porosity in this size range show nearly normal shrinkage and have coarse structural units, whereas soils with stable or regenerating porosity depart more from normal shrinkage and structure in the profile tends towards a finer per unit. The application of mercury porosimetry shows promise for determining possible porosity limitations in soil profiles.     

CLAY MINERAL DISTRIBUTION AND ORIGIN IN THE SOIL TYPES OF ISRAEL

The mineralogical composition of clays (< 2μm) in representative profiles of all soil types of Israel was investigated. The soils were classified according to their clay mineral assemblages into three groups. I. Montmorillonitic soils. Montmorillonite is the dominant mineral and exceeds 65 per cent of the total minerals found; each of the other minerals comprises less than 15 per cent. 2. Montmorillonitic-kaolinitic soils. The soil clay fractions contain 50-60 per cent montmorillonite and 15-25 per cent kaolinite, generally adding up to more than 75 per cent of the clay fraction. 3. Montmorillonitic-calcitic soils. The clays contain more than 10 per cent calcite. Montmorillonite is the dominant clay mineral (except for one soil type, mountain rendzina, where calcite is dominant). The first and second assemblages are typical of the soils of the Mediterranean zone, whereas the soils of the desert zone are characterized by the third assemblage. The origin of montmorillonite, kaolinite, and illite, the three main clay minerals, was found to be detritic, as was the origin of palygorskite which was mainly found in the calcite rich soils of the desert zone. The cation exchange capacity of montmorillonite seems to be higher under higher precipitation. Montmorillonite content and cation exchange capacity of the clays were found to be highly correlated. The carbonate content of the clay fraction and the amount of carbonate in the soil were also highly correlated.     

土壤破碎模数与湿度关系的初步研究

本文研究了一定吸力范围(1-15巴)内三种粘重土壤的破碎模数与湿度的关系,结果表明,砖红壤、红壤和下蜀黄土的破碎模数转折湿度分别为25.3%(干土%,下同),15.3%和15.7%。与它们的水分特征曲线对照研究表明,取8巴吸力的对应湿度作为破碎模数转折湿度,与实测值相比误差均小于1%。参照已经发表的14条典型的水分特征曲线估算,以8巴吸力的对应湿度作为破碎模数的转折湿度,对绝大多数土壤来说其误差可小于2%。由于破碎土块需施的压力在破碎模数转折湿度这一点上开始显著增加,因此它可以作为适耕下限的一个参数。     

Estimation of clay content from easily measurable water content of air‐dried soil

Soil texture is one of the main factors controlling soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. Accurate soil‐texture analysis is costly and time‐consuming. Therefore, the clay content is frequently not determined within the scope of regional and plot‐scale studies with high sample numbers. Yet it is well known that the clay content strongly affects soil water content. The objective of our study was to evaluate if the clay content can be estimated by a simple and fast measure like the water content of air‐dried soil. The soil samples used for this study originated from four different European regions (Hainich‐Dün, Germany; Schwäbische Alb, Germany; Hesse, France; Bugac, Hungary) and were collected from topsoils and subsoils in forests, grasslands, and croplands. Clay content, water content of air‐dried soil, and SOC content were measured. Clay content was determined either by the Pipette method or by the Sedigraph method. The water content of air‐dried soil samples ranged from 2.8 g kg^–1 to 63.3 g kg^–1 and the corresponding clay contents from 60.0 g kg^–1 to 815.7 g kg^–1. A significant linear relationship was found between clay content and water content. The scaled mean absolute error (SMAE) of the clay estimation from the water content of air‐dried soil was 20% for the dataset using the Pipette method and 28% for the Sedigraph method. The estimation of the clay content was more accurate in fine‐textured than in coarse‐textured soils. In this study, organic‐C content played a subordinate role next to the clay content in explaining the variance of the water content. The water retention of coarse‐textured soils was more sensitive to the amount of organic C than that of fine‐textured soils. The results indicate that in our study the water content of air‐dried soil samples was a good quantitative proxy of clay contents, especially useful for fine‐textured soils.     

Effect of Continuous Rice–Wheat Rotation on Soil Properties from Four Agro‐ecosystems of Indian Punjab

In Indian Punjab, rice–wheat is a dominant cropping system in four agro‐ecosystems, namely undulating subregion (zone 1), Piedmont alluvial plains (zone 2), central alluvial plains (zone 3), and southwestern alluvial plains (zone 4), varying in rainfall and temperature. Static and temporal variabilities in soil physical and chemical properties prevail because of alluvial parent material, management/tillage operations, and duration of rice–wheat rotation. A detailed survey was undertaken to study the long‐term effect of rice–wheat rotation on soil physical (soil separates, bulk density, modulus of rupture, saturated and unsaturated hydraulic conductivities, soil water content, and suction relations) and chemical (organic carbon, pH, electrical conductivity) properties of different textured soils (sandy clay loam, loam, clay loam, and silty clay loam) in these four zones of Punjab. Soil samples (of 0‐ to 30‐cm depth) from 45 sites were collected during 2006 and were analyzed for physical and chemical properties. The results showed that sand content and pH increased whereas silt and organic carbon decreased significantly from zones 1 to 4. Compared to other textures, significantly greater organic carbon, modulus of rupture, and pH in silty clay loam; greater bulk density in clay loam, and greater saturated hydraulic conductivity in sandy clay loam were observed. Irrespective of zone and soil texture, in the subsurface soil, there was a hard pan at 15–22.5 cm deep, which had high soil bulk density, modulus of rupture, more silt and clay contents (by 3–5%) and less organic carbon and hydraulic conductivity than the surface (0–15 cm) layer. These properties deteriorated with fineness of the soil texture and less organic carbon content. Continuous rice–wheat cropping had a deleterious effect on many soil properties. Many of these soils would benefit from the addition of organic matter, and crop yields may also be affected by the distinct hardpan that exists between 15 and 22.5 cm deep.     

Effect of lead on soil respiration and dehydrogenase activity

The effect of added Pb on the respiration and dehydrogenase activity of two sandy soils, a clay soil and a peat soil, (all with different physico-chemical properties), was studied.A concentration of 375 μg Pb· g^? inhibited the respiration of the sandy soil by ca. 15%, 1500 μg Pb· g^?ca. 50%. In the clay soil 1500 μg Pb· g^? caused a 15% reduction in respiration. The inhibition of respiration in the sandy soil was still ca. 30% 40 months after the addition of Pb. Respiration of the peat soil was not affected by even 7500 μg Pb· g^?.Dehydrogenase activity was affected by Pb in a similar way to soil respiration. In the sandy soil a considerable reduction occurred, while in the clay and peat soils dehydrogenase activity was not reduced.It was concluded, that a relationship exists between the inhibitory effects of Pb and the buffering capacity of the soil as expressed by its cation-exchange capacity. Because of these different effects of the same Pb concentration on the various soil types, no single value for the permitted concentration of lead pollution in soil could be established.
