Performance of simple irrigation scheduling calendars based on average weather data for annual ryegrass

Poor irrigation management in pastures can lead to yield and quality reduction as well as loss of income through extra pumping and leaching of nitrate fertiliser. A number of irrigation scheduling techniques of varying levels of sophistication have been developed over the years to address limited irrigation water availability and maximise productivity. Despite this, the adoption of irrigation scheduling tools by farmers remains low. The objective of this study was to assess the use of simple irrigation scheduling calendars based on average weather data to improve irrigation management in ryegrass. The calibrated Soil Water Balance (SWB) model was used to generate simple irrigation calendars and assess effectiveness for different scenarios by mechanistically simulating water dynamics and pasture growth. Scheduling irrigation using the calendars gave similar irrigation applications, water losses and yields compared to a more scientific real-time scheduling (in response to soil water depletion by the crop). While site-specific irrigation scheduling calendars can easily be generated by consultants and irrigators, even simpler monthly estimates of average daily water use can also be useful. Application of calendars by farmers is encouraged to improve water and nutrient use efficiency of irrigated pastures, if real-time irrigation scheduling is not employed.     

天然林采伐迹地不炼山造林技术

在天然林林分采伐迹地采用不炼山清杂办法清理迹地进行造林生产,并与常规的炼山造林进行比较,结果表明:不炼山造林不仅具有明显的经济效益、生态效益和社会效益,而且在技术上简单实用,林业生产者容易掌握。建议在永安市内天然针阔叶混交林采伐迹地推广不炼山造林技术,并杜绝炼山造林。

河西走廊绿洲外围沙化草地固沙造林效果研究

通过对流动沙丘固沙造林效果的对比研究,结果发现:未固沙造林的沙丘,丘间低地是以芦苇和赖草为优势种的原生群落,沙丘迎风坡植被稀疏,不形成植物群落,而实施固沙造林技术20年后的沙丘,虽丘间低地群落组成成分变化不大,但流动沙丘被完全固定,中下部形成以引入固沙灌木柠条锦鸡儿、花棒为优势种的人工植物群落,植物种类增加,生产力提高,草地生态系统得到有效恢复。固沙造林沙丘与未固沙造林沙丘相比,丘间低地群落高度增加51.6%,产草量增加12.6%,盖度增加4.7%,多度无变化,密度提高15%,物种丰富度指数提高25%,均匀度指数提高34.8%;迎风坡下部群落高度增加87.1%,产草量增加13%,多度提高一个等级,密度增加15%,物种丰富度指数提高228%,均匀度指数提高22.8%;迎风坡中部群落高度增加453.7%,产草量增加64.5%,多度提高一个等级,密度增加128.9%,物种丰富度指数提高616%,均匀度指数提高33.3%;迎风坡上部植被非常稀疏,不形成群落,植株平均高度25.3 cm,产草量增加206.8%,多度提高一个等级,密度增加550%,物种丰富度指数提高800%,均匀度指数提高66.7%。     

晋西黄土区主要造林树种耗水量测算与分析

依据水量平衡原理,采用盆栽试验分别测算了晋西黄土区主要造林树种侧柏、刺槐、杏树和梨树在其生长季(4～10月)成熟单株树木的耗水量,并根据林地土壤水分动态及土壤水分特征曲线标定的各树种无效水界值,分析了各树种土壤水分供耗特点及其有效性.结果表明:①2002贫水年生长季降水量430.7 mm,试验树种同期耗水量约为430～470 mm,树木供耗失衡;2003丰水年降水量870.2 mm,耗水量约为450～510 mm,但降雨分配不均,5月和10月树木供耗也略有失衡.②不同树种年内土壤含水量变化趋势相近,而同月耗水量差异较大,同一树种不同月耗水量差异也较大,丰水年各试验地土壤水分状况要好于贫水年.③侧柏、刺槐、杏树和梨树无效水界值为8.0%,8.4%,9.4%和10.9%,侧柏较其它树种利用水分能力最强.贫水年林外单株树木土壤含水量在一段时间内低于对应树种的无效水界值,影响树木正常生长.单株树木依靠冬季和次年春季降水补充,生长季初期都能恢复到速效水水平.
