Changing rainfall patterns and farmers’ adaptation through soil water management practices in semi-arid eastern Kenya

There is limited documentation of soil and water management technologies that enhance adaptation to climate change in drylands of Kenya. Rainfall patterns were analyzed in the semi-arid Machakos and Makueni counties of eastern Kenya using historical data. A total of forty-three smallholder farmers implementing soil water management practices were sampled, and an estimate of the seasonal water budget for current crop and livestock production systems computed. Analysis of rainfall amounts and distribution shows increasing variability, with the average annual total amounts decreasing over the past 50 years. Furthermore, the number of rainy days within the March-April-May season that can support crop growth is gradually decreasing. These decreases are however not significant at P < 0.05. There were more seasons with low rainfall amounts compared to those with high rainfall amounts. All these subject the smallholder crop and livestock production system to limited soil moisture. Farmers address the risk by harnessing and utilizing green (rainfall stored in soil) and blue (rainfall collected into storage tanks) water technologies. The study found that farmers in these semi-arid counties practice fifteen diverse soil and water management interventions on their farms. The most popular practices are cut-off drains, retention ditches, terracing, run-off harvesting, and agroforestry. The estimated seasonal water budget indicates the need for integrated soil and water management interventions to address the crop and livestock production constraints.     

黄土旱塬区平衡施肥下不同土壤耕作模式的蓄水纳墒及作物增产增收效应研究

【目的】黄土旱塬半湿润易旱区是典型的雨养农业区,多数一年一熟或两年一熟制,冬小麦和春玉米是该区主要的粮食作物,平衡施肥是主要的施肥方式。多年研究和生产实践证明,建立与不同作物轮作方式相配套的土壤轮耕技术体系,可以为作物生长发育创造良好的土、 肥、 水、 气、 热的土壤环境条件,保持农田生态健康发展,促进作物增产增收。本文在当地平衡施肥条件下,通过多年耕作模式定位试验,研究在平衡施肥条件下,不同土壤耕作模式对休闲期和作物生育期0200 cm土层蓄水纳墒状况、 作物产量及其经济效益的影响,为黄土旱塬半湿润易旱区建立在一定肥力水平下与作物轮作体系相配套的土壤轮耕模式提供理论依据。【方法】选择位于黄土旱塬半湿润易旱区腹地的陕西省合阳县甘井镇一年一熟旱作冬小麦春玉米轮作田为试验区,采用免耕、 深松和翻耕3种土壤耕作方法组成4种土壤轮耕模式,即: 翻耕免耕翻耕免耕(RT1); 深松翻耕深松翻耕(RT2); 免耕深松免耕深松(RT3); 免耕翻耕深松免耕(RT4); 以连年翻耕(CK1)、 连年深松(CK2)和连年免耕(CK3)为对照,通过连续4年(2007~2011年)定位试验,研究平衡施肥条件下的7种土壤耕作模式对冬小麦春玉米轮作田0200 cm土层土壤贮水量、 土壤水分含量、 作物籽粒产量、 水分利用效率(WUE)和经济效益的影响。【结果】 1)在土壤休闲期,RT3模式下0200 cm土层土壤贮水量最高,其次是RT2。与对照组相比,4种轮耕模式0200 cm土层土壤贮水量均高于CK1; RT3显著高于CK3,但与CK2差异不显著。0200 cm土层土壤剖面含水量,亦以RT3模式最高。2)在冬小麦生育期,0200 cm土层土壤贮水量和土壤含水量,RT3和CK2模式的较高。3)在春玉米生育期,0200 cm土层土壤贮水量和土壤含水量RT3和CK3较高。4)不同耕作模式的作物籽粒产量、 水分利用效率(WUE)和经济效益,以RT2和CK2模式最高。四年平均结果RT2处理较CK1、 CK2和CK3处理增产10.2%、 3.6%和17.1%,增收23.6%(P0.05)、 6.8%(P0.05)和28.3%(P0.05),提高WUE 9.7%(P0.05)、 4.3%和18.6%(P0.05)。【结论】年际间轮流进行深松和翻耕(RT2)处理,虽然其在土壤蓄水保墒效应方面略低于年际间轮流进行免耕和深松(RT3)和连年深松(CK2)处理,但可获得最佳增产增收效果和最高水分利用效率; 连年深松能够增加水分入渗,保护土壤,增加蓄水能力,但产量和经济效益不如RT2处理,也是该区比较适宜的耕作方法。根据实际状况,在平衡施肥条件下的一年一熟作物轮作区,应推荐深松翻耕的轮耕或连年深松的耕作模式。

Diversity in weed seed production and the soil seed bank: Contrasting responses between two agroecosystems

This study was carried out to compare the diversity in seed production and the soil seed bank in a dryland and an irrigated agroecosystem in the dry tropics. Both agroecosystems showed a comparable number of species, but only 25% and 38% similarity during the winter and rainy cropping seasons, respectively. In the irrigated agroecosystem, the amount of seed production diversity was almost double in the winter season, compared to the rainy season. The weed seedbank diversity was low but was sensitive to cropping practices and seasons in both agroecosystems. A considerably smaller soil seedbank size in the irrigated agroecosystem (cf. dryland) was related to lowered weed seed production. The dryland agroecosystem showed a greater accumulation of the seeds of broad‐leaved weeds, whereas the irrigated agroecosystem accumulated more seeds of the grasses or sedges. About three‐fourths of the seeds during the winter season were accounted for by Anagallis arvensis and Chenopodium album in the dryland agroecosystem and by C. album and Melilotus indica in the irrigated agroecosystem. However, during the rainy season, Ammannia baccifera, Echinochloa colona and Cyperus rotundus dominated in both agroecosystems. The changes in the weed seed bank and its diversity are mainly attributed to differences in water management, which tends to reduce species diversity, especially at a lower depth, but leads to the dominance of some potentially noxious weeds (e.g. Phalaris minor and M. indica). Approximately double the soil seedbank size and a greater diversity at a lower depth might indicate an adaptive mechanism in the storage of weed seeds in the dryland agroecosystem.     

Human induced dryland degradation in Ordos Plateau,China, revealed by multilevel statistical modeling of normalized difference vegetation index and rainfall time-series

Land degradation causes serious environmental problems in many regions of the world,and although it can be effectively assessed and monitored using a time series of rainfall and a normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)from remotely-sensed imagery,dividing human-induced land degradation from vegetation dynamics due to climate change is not a trivial task.This paper presented a multilevel statistical modeling of the NDVI-rainfall relationship to detect human-induced land degradation at local and landscape scales in the Ordos Plateau of Inner Mongolia,China,and recognized that anthropogenic activities result in either positive(land restoration and re-vegetation)or negative(degradation)trends.Linear regressions were used to assess the accuracy of the multilevel statistical model.The results show that:(1)land restoration was the dominant process in the Ordos Plateau between 1998 and 2012;(2)the effect of the statistical removal of precipitation revealed areas of human-induced land degradation and improvement,the latter reflecting successful restoration projects and changes in land management in many parts of the Ordos;(3)compared to a simple linear regression,multilevel statistical modeling could be used to analyze the relationship between the NDVI and rainfall and improve the accuracy of detecting the effect of human activities.Additional factors should be included when analyzing the NDVI-rainfall relationship and detecting human-induced loss of vegetation cover in drylands to improve the accuracy of the approach and eliminate some observed non-significant residual trends.     

集雨补灌条件下旱塬小麦玉米带田节水灌溉试验研究

对旱塬地区小麦套作玉米带田集雨限量补灌条件下带田产量、水分利用效率、叶日积(LAD)及作物复合群体生长率(CGR)进行了分析研究,认为该区发展小麦玉米带田限量补灌(35mm)的最佳生育时期为小麦抽穗期和玉米抽雄开花期,有条件时灌2水以小麦抽穗期、玉米抽雄开花期和小麦扬花期、玉米吐丝期为宜。这与各处理0～90cm土层水分利用效率的大小表现一致。带田复合群体总LAD、平均CGR灌水与不灌水处理间差别不明显,说明LAD、CGR并非单一水分因素所致,水分条件的改善对此二者的作用仅为其中一个方面,今后的栽培管理中也应重视其它方面如增施有机肥等。     

内蒙古阴山北麓旱农区马铃薯间作模式的生产力与水分利用

马铃薯是内蒙古阴山北麓的主要农作物之一,优化马铃薯种植模式,可以提高马铃薯产量,遏制土壤肥力退化,促进农业可持续发展。本研究于2009—2014年进行了6 a的大田小区定位试验,研究了马铃薯与苕子或莜麦间作对土地生产力及水分利用效果的影响。结果表明:马铃薯/苕子和马铃薯/莜麦2种间作模式具有较强且程度相当的间作产量优势,土地当量比分别为1.59~2.24和1.56~2.22。间作并不会显著增加或降低作物的耗水量,马铃薯、苕子和莜麦于不同种植年的耗水量有差异,最大降幅分别可达25.1%、23.7%和25.5%。间作可显著提高间作系统的水分利用效率,具有显著的水分利用优势(水分当量比分别为1.59~2.01和1.55~2.24),且主要体现在苕子和莜麦作物上。此外,间作体系的水分利用效果还与当年的降雨量关系密切。综合分析认为,马铃薯间作有利于整个间作系统农田生产力和水分利用效率的提高,且对苕子和莜麦的提升效果更佳。     

Survival and long-term growth of eucalypts on semi-arid sites in a Mediterranean climate,South Africa§

Four experiments were established on the semi-arid west coast plain of South Africa during the 1990s. The trails tested the survival and growth of several eucalypt species and hybrids, some of which were established in a climate that is drier than their natural distribution range. The aridity indices (AI; defined as mean annual precipitation [MAP]/mean annual potential evapotranspiration) ranged from 0.21 to 0.36 and MAP from 228 to 423 mm. The driest trial site (AI = 0.21 and MAP = 228) had high levels of mortality. However, a number of species (in particular, Eucalyptus gomphocephala, E. camaldulensis and E. tereticornis, as well as individual hybrids of the latter two species with E. grandis) survived and grew well at the remaining sites. Eucalyptus cladocalyx survived well and attained competitive growth rates only on the wettest site in the group (AI = 0.36). The dominant height of the top-performing genotypes at age 5 ranged between 9 and 10 m on the two wetter sites. This corresponded to mean annual increment values in excess of 10 m³ ha^?1 a^?1, which is comparable to volume obtained at more favourable aridity indices in the summer rainfall zone of South Africa and exceeds the growth rates obtained in several other arid zone studies globally. The E. grandis × E. camaldulensis hybrid ranked among the top performers in two trials, but its susceptibility to recently introduced pests and relatively poor wood quality makes it a less attractive choice for planting. The high density and durability of timber, acceptable growth rate (given the low rainfall conditions), and low pest and disease incidence make E. gomphocephala and E. cladocalyx the species of choice for planting in the drier and relatively wetter sections of the semi-arid zone, respectively.
