Spatial variability of soil water content and related factors across the Hexi Corridor of China

Soil water content(SWC) is a key factor limiting ecosystem sustainability in arid and semi-arid areas of the Hexi Corridor of China, which is characterized by an ecological environment that is vulnerable to climate change. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the large-scale spatial distribution of SWC in this region. The specific objectives of this study were to determine the spatial distribution patterns of SWC across the Hexi Corridor and identify the factors responsible for spatial variation of SWC at a regional scale. This study collected and analyzed SWC in the 0–100 cm soil profile from 109 field sampling sites(farmland, grassland and forestland) across the Hexi Corridor in 2017. We selected 17 factors, including land use, topography(latitude, longitude, elevation, slope gradient, and slope aspect), soil properties(soil clay content, soil silt content, soil bulk density, saturated hydraulic conductivity, field capacity, and soil organic carbon content), climate factors(mean annual precipitation, potential evaporation, and aridity index), plant characteristic(vegetation coverage) and planting pattern(irrigation or rain-fed), as possible environmental variables to analyze their effects on SWC. The results showed that SWC was 0.083(±0.067) g/g in the 0–100 cm soil profile and decreased in the order of farmland, grassland and forestland. The SWC in the upper soil layers(0–20, 20–40 and 40–60 cm) had obvious difference when the mean annual precipitation differed by 200 mm. The SWC decreased from southeast to northwest following the same pattern as precipitation, and had a moderate to strong spatial dependence in a large effective range(75–378 km). The SWC showed a similar distribution and had no significant difference between soil layers in the 0–100 cm soil profile. The principal component analysis showed that the mean annual precipitation, geographical position(longitude and latitude) and soil properties(soil bulk density and soil clay content) were the main factors dominating the variance of environmental variables. A stepwise linear regression equation showed that plant characteristic(vegetation coverage) and soil properties(soil organic carbon content, field capacity and soil clay content) were the optimal factors to predict the variation of SWC. Soil clay content could be better to explain the SWC variation in the deeper soil layers compared with the other factors.

根系是植物群落演替的重要内容,对植被演替过程具有十分重要影响作用。采用时空替代法,选择不同恢复阶段,研究了干旱荒漠区植被恢复演替不同阶段优势种群及其根系生态特征。结果表明:沙漠化逆转过程中,优势种群更替过程为:沙米-沙蒿-油蒿-紫婉木、针茅;在恢复演替初期(初始阶段,先锋阶段)植被根系浅(平均<50 cm)而水平分布范围广,侧根数量少但生长旺盛;随着恢复时间的加长,优势种群根系分布深度增加,侧根数量增加但水平生长受到一定的抑制,根幅逐渐减小;优势种群根冠比的变化趋势为沙米(初始阶段)<沙蒿(先锋阶段)<油蒿(发展阶段)<针茅(原生群落)。研究同时发现,同一种群在不同的演替阶段具有不同的根系分布特征和规律。对于沙蒿种群来说,根冠比是发展阶段(0.56)>先锋阶段(0.36),而地上、地下生物量却是先锋阶段(360.83g,161.33g)>发展阶段(32.8g,16.81g);而油蒿根冠比则是发展阶段(0.61)>相对稳定阶段(0.21)。各演替阶段根系和土壤环境因子之间存在相互影响,优势种群根系生物量及生物量分布与土壤颗粒组成、土壤水分的空间分布有着密切的关系。     

Spatial heterogeneity for grain size distribution of eolian sand soil on longitudinal dunes in the southern Gurbantunggut Desert

The grain size composition, distribution characteristics and spatial variation of eolian sand soil on distinct positions across two longitudinal dunes and interdune areas were studied by means of conventional grain size analysis and geostatistical methods. In the study, 184 samples of eolian sand soil from the 0-30cm layer were systemically collected and measured from two longitudinal dunes and interdunes in the southern Gurbantunggut Desert. The results show that the dominant grain sizes are fine and very fine sands, and the differences of grain size compositions between the distinct geomorphologic positions are significant. The contents of clay and silt are highest on the interdune areas and lowest on the crests, and higher on the leeward slopes than on the windward slopes. The contents of very fine and fine sands are highest on the windward slopes and lowest on the crests. The contents of medium, coarse and very coarse sands are lowest on the interdune lands, and highest on the crests, and are identical on the two slopes. The coarser sizes (φ1) and mean sizes (Mz) for eolian sand soil all have a varying tendency from fine to coarse sizes with interdune area → leeward slope → windward slope → crest, and the sorting (σ) are poorly to well sorted. The results of geostatistical analysis reveal that φ1, Mz and σ values are moderately to strongly spatially autocorrelated. The values of the spatially correlated ranges are φ1<σ相似文献   

干旱区农田土壤水分地温变化规律及其相互关系

以干旱区农田灌溉后土壤水分、地温实测数据为基础,研究了其土壤水分、地温各自的变化规律及两者的相互关系.结果表明,各层含水量之间具有高相关性,基本达到了极显著的水平.这与土壤水分灌溉时由上而下的逐渐下渗,以及蒸发时由下而上的逐层上升有密切的关系.各层地温间的相关性大,除地面温度外,其余各层地温间的相关水平为显著或极显著水平,且相邻土层地温间均呈极显著相关.土壤水分及地温剖面垂直变化特征明显,并具有动态性.土壤水分含量大时,两者的垂直变异系数小,反之变异系数大.0～20 cm、地面(0 cm)分别为剖面含水量及地温变异强度的最大层,属中等变异强度.土壤水分及温度之间的负相关性明显.地面温度是预测表层、底层土壤水分的良好指标,利用回归分析法建立的土壤水分与地温间的函数关系可为推测土壤水分提供依据.

呼伦贝尔天然草地地貌部位对土层厚度和土壤水分的影响

草原开垦破坏草地植被,并且破坏了整个草原的生态环境,这已取得共识。然而,目前还有人想开垦呼伦贝尔天然草地来追求短期的利益。通过调查一个天然草地坡面的土层厚度和土壤水分,分析天然草地地貌部位对土层厚度和土壤水分的影响,以此为根据来阐述开垦天然草地的利害。结果表明:上部样点含水量低,坡脚和坡底样点含水量依次增加;黑土层保水性好,黄粘土层透水性差,砂土层保水性很差;坡面80%的面积黑土层小于或等于30cm,开垦压实以后厚度只能满足暂时耕作的需要。呼伦贝尔草原地形起伏较大,干旱且多大风,易发生土壤侵蚀。开垦以后将会失去保水性好的黑土层,那时,呼伦贝尔草原前景甚忧。因此,建议不应开垦呼伦贝尔草原,并给与适当保护。     

Seasonal dynamics of soil water content in the typical vegetation and its response to precipitation in a semi-arid area of Chinese Loess Plateau

Soil water content is a key limiting factor for vegetation growth in the semi-arid area of Chinese Loess Plateau and precipitation is the main source of soil water content in this area. To further understand the impact of vegetation types and environmental factors such as precipitation on soil water content, we continuously monitored the seasonal dynamics in soil water content in four plots (natural grassland, Caragana korshinskii, Armeniaca sibirica and Pinus tabulaeformis) in Chinese Loess Plateau. The results show that the amplitude of soil water content fluctuation decreases with an increase in soil depth, showing obvious seasonal variations. Soil water content of artificial vegetation was found to be significantly lower than that of natural grassland, and most precipitation events have difficulty replenishing soil water content below a depth of 40 cm. Spring and autumn are the key seasons for replenishment of soil water by precipitation. Changes in soil water content are affected by precipitation, vegetation types, soil evaporation and other factors. The interception effect of vegetation on precipitation and the demand for water consumption by transpiration are the key factors affecting the efficiency of soil water replenishment by precipitation in this area. Due to artificial vegetation plantation in this area, soil will face a water deficit crisis in the future.

Contents of soil organic carbon and nitrogen in water-stable aggregates in abandoned agricultural lands in an arid ecosystem of Northwest China

Soil organic matter content in water-stable aggregates(WSA) in the arid ecosystems(abandoned agricultural lands especially) of China is poorly understood. In this study, we examined the WSA sizes and stability, and soil organic carbon(OC) and nitrogen(N) contents in agricultural lands with abandonment ages of 0, 3, 12, 20, 30 and 40 years, respectively, in the Minqin Oasis of Northwest China. The total soil OC and N contents at depths of 0–20, 20–40 and 40–60 cm in abandoned agricultural lands were compared to those in cultivated land(the control). Agricultural land abandonment significantly(P0.05) influenced the distribution of MWD(mean weight diameter), and OC and N contents. There were significant increases in MWD and the proportion of macroaggregates(sizes 0.25 mm) as the age of agricultural land abandonment increased. The effect of abandonment ages of agricultural lands on MWD was determined by the changes of OC and N accumulation in WSA sizes 2 mm. The total OC and N contents presented a stratification phenomenon across soil depths in this arid ecosystem. That is, both of them decreased significantly at depths of 0–20 and 40–60 cm while increased at the depth of 20–40 cm. The WSA sizes 0.053 mm had the highest soil OC and N contents(accounting for 51.41%–55.59% and 42.61%–48.94% of their total, respectively). Soil OC and N contents in microaggregates(sizes 0.053–0.25 mm) were the dominant factors that influenced the variations of total OC and N contents in abandoned agricultural lands. The results of this study suggested that agricultural land abandonment may result in the recovery of WSA stability and the shifting of soil organic matter from the silt+clay(0.053 mm) and microaggregate fractions to the macroaggregate fractions. However, agricultural land abandonment did not increase total soil OC and N contents in the short-term.     

风沙土水分入渗与再分布过程中湿润锋运移试验研究

不同覆盖措施对旱区农田土壤酶活性及西瓜产量的影响

基于大田试验,研究了砂石+地膜覆盖,砂石覆盖,地膜覆盖3种旱区农田地表不同覆盖措施下的土壤酶活性及西瓜产量,以农田不覆盖（CK）为对照。结果表明：砂石+地膜覆盖在西瓜不同生育时期和不同土壤层次由于土壤水分条件的改善,可显著提高土壤酶活性,其中土壤脲酶活性提高了34.5%,碱性磷酸酶提高了13.0%,过氧化氢酶提高了29.5%,砂石覆盖次之（分别提高了31.4%,11.5%, 25.5%）,地膜覆膜处理虽然也有提高土壤三种酶活性的效果,但作用甚微（仅0.9%,1.4%,2.9%）。对西瓜产量及商品率的影响,砂石+地膜覆盖、砂石覆盖处理与对照相比增产效果显著,分别增产50倍和30倍,地膜覆盖与对照相比增产7倍,但是商品率较低（2.16%）。表明在当地旱区农业生产中,砂石+地膜覆盖或砂石覆盖是抗旱、增产增收的有效措施。     

干旱区微咸水滴灌条件下典型土壤盐碱化影响因素研究

以代表性的沙壤和黏壤棉田土壤为研究对象,分别利用高、低矿化度水进行5年灌溉,即黏壤-低矿化度,黏壤-高矿化度,沙壤-低矿化度,沙壤-高矿化度共四个处理,测定0～100 cm分层土样总盐、pH、Na⁺、K⁺、Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺、SAR、ESP等指标,以研究玛纳斯河流域冲积扇扇缘和干三角洲区不同浓度微咸水长期滴灌条件下土壤盐分、土壤碱度、主要阳离子的变化,探讨对土壤盐化和碱化产生主要影响的离子,为干旱区微咸水灌溉生态安全管理提供理论参考。结果表明：冲积扇扇缘带黏壤土和干三角洲沙壤土盐化和碱化相伴发生,且主要受灌溉水矿化度影响;对土壤盐化和碱化均产生主要影响的离子为Na⁺,对土壤盐分产生主要影响的离子为Na⁺与Ca²⁺。这表明玛纳斯河流域土壤盐碱化的治理应从降低灌溉水Na⁺入手,将控制灌溉水总盐分和降低Na⁺占比结合起来,达到既降盐又防治土壤持续碱化的目的。
