摘要
对黄土塬区不同土地利用方式下2012年3—10月7龄果园(挂果初期)、17龄果园(盛果期)、小麦地、玉米地土壤水文状况进行分析,结果显示,0—600 cm试验土层7龄果园土壤贮水量最高,其次为玉米地、小麦地,17龄果园最低,且不同土地利用方式下贮水量随着降水量的变化而上下波动,但其变化滞后于降水。不同土地利用方式均表现为随土壤深度增加土壤含水量变异程度减弱的特征,且其土壤剖面的水分含量变化存在季节变异。农田和7龄果园中不存在土壤干燥化现象,而17龄果园土壤剖面存在较厚的干燥化土层,其分布深度为320—600 cm。不同的土地利用方式的土壤水分的消耗和补充深度有较大差异,17龄果园消耗深度为500 cm,补充深度为200 cm;7龄果园、玉米地和小麦地消耗深度分别为200、300 cm和300 cm,且补充深度均超过了测定的土壤深度,大于600 cm。
Soil moisture has large impacts on agricultural production and regional ecosystems. The Loess Tableland was selected as the study area, and the characteristics of soil moisture in different land use types were measured and analyzed from March to October 2012. The objectives of this study were to characterize the dynamic changes in soil water, determine the soil moisture depletion and replenishment depths, and compare the differences in water consumption under the different land uses. The results showed that: ( 1 ) Soil moisture content recorded in the 0--600 cm layer in a 7-year-old apple orchard was the highest, followed by that in a corn field, wheat field, and a 17-year-old apple orchard. Soil moisture contents in different land use types had the same variation trends as precipitation during the observation period, but their responses lagged changes in precipitation. (2) Soil moisture variation declined with increasing soil depth in different land use types. The variation in surface soil water content was greater than that of deep soil water content because the surface layer (0--100 cm) was influenced by multiple processes, including rainfall infiltration, soil evaporation, and plant root water uptake. Soil moisture was less affected by outside conditions as soil depth increased; therefore, soil moisture tended to be relatively stable. In addition, because of complicated functions of plant growth regulation and local phenologicalcharacteristics, seasonal variation was also observed in the soil water profile in each land use type. The shape of the average soil moisture profile for the 7-year-old apple orchard was an S-type curve, while the soil moisture profile for the 17-year-old apple orchard showed an initial decrease, followed by an increase and a final decrease. The deep soil moisture stabilized around 13.5%. The shapes of the soil moisture profile in wheat and corn fields were similar; they both increased at first and then decreased. (3) No soil desiccation occurred in farmland or in the 7-year-old apple orchard, while relatively deepdesiccated soil layers existed in the 17-year-old apple orchard at depths of 320--600 cm. This was because the water consumption in the 17-year-old apple orchard was greater than water replenishment. In lower rainfall years, the precipitation was not enough to meet the demand from tree growth, so water stored in deep soil was used. Due to the limitation of rainfall infiltration depth, it was hard for water to be replenished once it was depleted. Thus, desiccated soil layers formed undercontinuous dry years. (4) There were some differences between the soil moisture depletion and replenishment in different land use types. The depths of soil water depletion in the 7-year-old apple orchard, corn field, and wheat field were 200 cm, 300 cm, and 300 era, respectively, and their replenishment depths were beyond the measured depth of 600 em. Their deepsoil moisture conditions got compensation and improvement after the seasonal precipitation. The depth of soil water depletion in the 17-year-old apple orchard was 500 cm, while the replenishment depth was about 200 cm. As the replenishment depth was less than the consumption depth, the desiccated soil layers already present in the 17-year-old apple orchard willcontinue to exist for some time if there is no human intervention.
