Long-term consequences of topsoil mining on select biological and physical characteristics of two New Zealand loessial soils under grazed pasture

Soil chemical, biochemical, biological and structural properties were measured in two New Zealand loessial soils that were topsoil-mined 10 and 25 years ago respectively. Measurements at the 10-year site were compared to some earlier measurements made at this site and the data combined in a chronological sequence for analysis. Topsoil mining had a large, detrimental impact on the soil microbial biomass, the earthworm populations, easily mineralizable N and soil enzyme activities. However, most of these properties substantially recovered, to 80-90 per cent of the levels in unmined soils, within 10-25 years of restoration under pasture. In contrast, while total soil C and N were less affected by topsoil mining, their recovery was much slower. Stabilities of macro-aggregates of soil had fully recovered within 10-25 years after topsoil mining. The apparent changes in all the measured properties between 10 and 25 years of restoration were small in comparison with changes between 0-10 years of restoration after topsoil mining. The total C content of both soils under pasture appeared unlikely to attain the levels present in unmined soils. In soils undergoing restoration, the ratio of microbial C/total soil C may be a useful index of soil ‘biological stability’. Sulphatase activity may reflect the recovery of pasture production.     

东北黑土区数字普惠金融对耕地利用生态效率的影响及其空间溢出效应

耕地是保障国家粮食安全的基石,探究数字普惠金融影响耕地利用生态效率的空间溢出效应对推进农村金融发展、促进农民增收和高水平耕地保护利用具有重要意义。本研究基于2011—2021年东北黑土区27个地级市面板数据,采用超效率EBM模型测算耕地利用生态效率,利用空间杜宾模型和偏微分分解法揭示数字普惠金融对耕地利用生态效率的影响及其空间溢出效应。研究结果表明：东北黑土区的数字普惠金融发展水平持续提高,而耕地利用生态效率则呈现“W”型变化波动上升,区域间差异显著;数字普惠金融对本地耕地利用生态效率的提升具有直接影响,呈现出“倒U”型的非线性关系,同时对邻地的影响存在空间溢出效应,呈现“U”型的非线性关系;三江平原区和长白山-辽东丘陵区与东北黑土区的数字普惠金融对耕地利用生态效率的影响效应方向一致。基于研究结果,提出了夯实数字普惠金融发展基础、缩小区域数字普惠金融差距、合理规避数字普惠金融虹吸效应等政策建议,以促进数字普惠金融高质量发展与黑土地有效保护协同推进。     

果园土壤电导率适宜样本容量的影响因素研究

2005年4~7月期间利用W.E.T电导率测量仪,采用网格化取样方式对烟台农科院梨园的表层土壤(0~30cm)电导率的162个样点进行了3次取样,并对土壤电导率适宜样本容量的影响因素进行了研究。结果表明,在所考虑的置信水平和精度范围内,相对于取样间距的变化,不同取样时间土壤电导率合理采样数的变化更加明显,取样间距不同引起的合理采样数的变化幅度介于1.28%~11.36%之间,取样时间不同时合理采样数的变化幅度介于33.33%~45.67%之间。因此在研究区域内,由人为因素(施肥等)引起的土壤电导率分布状况是影响其合理取样数目的主要因素。     

胶东果园土壤电导率的时空分布特征及Kriging估值

应用传统统计学和地统计学方法,分析了2005年4~11月期间烟台农科院苹果园土壤电导率的空间变异性,并进行了Moran’s I系数分析和Kriging估值。结果表明:土壤电导率具有明显的空间变异性,半方差函数和Moran’s I系数分析说明了4月30日、6月29日和11月16日的空间自相关范围较大,相关性较强;4月20日、7月14日和8月16日的变程偏小,空间相关性较弱。土壤电导率的均值和变异系数随时间变化总体上近似呈现出先增加后减小的趋势,在空间分布上不同时期果园表层土壤电导率分布格局差异较大,土壤电导率的破碎化比较严重。     

Agroforestry techniques for the rehabilitation of degraded salt-affected lands in India

The development of appropriate technologies for the judicious use of India's 8.11 million ha of salt-affected lands would give increased food, fodder and fuelwood production. A sizeable portion of the salt-affected lands of the Indo-Gangetic plain have been reclaimed through chemical amendments and are being commercially used for arable farming. However, large areas of salt-affected common lands, village and government lands and waste lands near cities, along railway tracks and roads do not have any productive use. Owing to their sparse vegetative cover such lands are vulnerable to further degradation and can be a source of runoff causing floods, especially where cows congregate. Research at the Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Karnal has generated agroforestry techniques which could enable the economic exploitation of such marginal lands. This paper deals with various aspects of these techniques, which have been applied to over 50 000 ha by 1994. Based on eight to ten years of growth and biomass figures, the most salt-tolerant woody species identified were: Prosopis juliflora, Acacia nilotica, Casuarina equisetifolia, Tamarix articulata, Leptochloa fusca (a palatable forage grass which was found to be a promising primary colonizer of salt lands). Agronomic practices for the successful establishment of trees such as planting methods, amendment use, irrigation, spacing and lopping schedules are discussed. A Prosopis juliflora-leptochloa fusca silvipastoral model was found to be excellent for fuelwood and forage production and for the amelioration of high pH soils. This system, when followed for little more than four years, reclaims alkali soils to such an extent that normal agriculture crops such as Trifolium alexandrinum and T. resupinatum can be grown successfully. A ridge-trench system of tree planting was found to be helpful in alkali soils, the in situ rainwater conservation it led to assisting biomass production. Eucalyptus tereticornis, Populus deltoides and Tectona grandis based agroforestry were promising for reclaimed salt-affected lands. The short- and long-term effects of various tree plantations on the physicochemical properties of the soil and on soil-water relations are also discussed. Agroforestry options for the development of salt-affected lands found in various agroclimatic zones of India are explored.     

Grass mixtures for afforested opencast spoils in South Wales

An experiment that investigated the establishment of seven grass and legume seed mixes on opencast coal mining spoil in South Wales is described. After three years, mixtures containing Poa pratensis and Festuca rubra var. rubra were the most successful in covering the spoil; the ‘Johnson JR33’ seed mix proved the best of those commercially available that was tested. Tree growth was not detrimentally affected by the establishment of a grass ground cover. Erosion was not an important process at the experimental site, though slumping occurred locally from plough ridge to plough furrow.
