四川丘陵区典型边坡土壤酶活性的季节动态

针对川中丘陵区成渝铁路的典型岩石边坡,以临近自然边坡和农田边坡为对照,研究了3种典型边坡土壤脲酶和蔗糖酶活性的季节变化规律.结果表明,各个季节土壤脲酶和蔗糖酶活性在不同类型边坡间表现出一定的差异性,且各具特点.3种边坡土壤脲酶和蔗糖酶活性均表现出一定的季节变化规律.铁路边坡和农田边坡土壤脲酶活性均表现为1月最低,4月最高;自然边坡土壤脲酶活性则表现为7月最低,10月最高.铁路边坡和自然边坡土壤蔗糖酶活性表现为1月最低,4月和10月较高;农田边坡土壤蔗糖酶活性1月,4月和7月无明显变化,在10月出现显著上升.

晋西黄土区核桃花生复合土壤水分效应研究

以2008年晋西黄土区典型核桃花生复合系统为研究对象,利用土钻取样烘干称重法,取土深度为0-100 cm,对复合系统土壤水分效应进行了研究.研究结果表明,(1)核桃花生复合系统土壤含水量的季节变化极显著;(2)核桃花生复合系统在垂直方向上,土壤水分随着土壤深度的增加而增加,在0-40 cm土层内变化较为激烈;在水平方向上,距果树带越近,土壤水分含量越少,但随着带距的增加水分增加直至趋于稳定,变化曲线呈抛物线状分布;(3)与花生单作对比得出,复合系统花生土壤水分效应为正值,说明虽然核桃树和农作物根系的生态位有重叠,会产生对土壤水分的竞争利用,但竞争影响并不明显.

Anthropogenic effects on soil quality of ancient agricultural systems of the American Southwest

Soil studies of ancient agricultural fields contribute to research on long-term human–environmental relationships and land use sustainability. This kind of research is especially applicable in desert landscapes of the American Southwest because: (1) soil formation is slow enough that cultivation effects persist for centuries to millennia; (2) many ancient fields in valley margins have remained uncultivated since they were abandoned, so long-term soil properties reflect ancient agricultural use; and (3) agricultural features (e.g., terraces, rock alignments and rock piles, and irrigation canals) provide clues for identifying and sampling ancient cultivated and uncultivated soils. Surficial remnants of these field systems persist and remain intact in many cases. Soil studies of ancient and modern American Indian agricultural systems across the Southwest indicate that soil changes are highly variable, ranging from degradation (e.g., organic matter/nutrient decline, compaction), to minimal net change, to enhanced soil quality. Soil changes caused by cultivation can be inferred by comparing soils in agricultural fields relative to reference uncultivated areas in similar landscape settings (that is, space-for-time substitution). Soil response trajectories vary for a number of reasons, such as variability in initial ecosystem conditions, diversity in agricultural methods, variability in the mix of crops and cropping intensity, and environmental sensitivity to alteration (varying resistance and resilience). Studies of rock mulch soils indicate enhanced fertility, with elevated organic carbon, nitrogen, and available phosphorus levels, increased infiltration rates and moisture retention, and no evidence of compaction. By contrast, cultivation effects vary widely for terraced soils. Although numerous studies have focused on irrigation canals, irrigated soils have received far less attention. Soil studies of irrigation systems along the Gila and Santa Cruz rivers of Arizona now underway will help fill this research gap.
