绿洲―荒漠交错带土壤水分变化特征初步研究

 以甘肃省的民勤绿洲为例,选择土壤水分最为亏缺的7月,对白刺(Nitraria tangutorum)沙包不同迎风面,以及绿洲和荒漠交错地带的土壤水分进行了取样分析。结果表明,对于白刺沙包而言,其上层和深层土壤水分是迎风坡大于背风坡,中间层次（40～80 cm）则刚好相反。在绿洲与荒漠的交错带上,灌丛沙包与沙丘间低地水分变化有很大的不同,总体而言,丘间地水分含量大于灌丛沙包,但在距离绿洲406 m处,二者均出现一个土壤水分的最低值。在丘间地表层,水分变化是距离绿洲愈近,土壤含水量愈高;而深层土壤水分的变化趋     

民勤绿洲-荒漠过渡带植被梯度特征及其土壤水环境

民勤绿洲-荒漠过渡带的植被和土壤水环境随着与绿洲距离的增加具有明显的空间异质性,在景观分异角度沿绿洲至荒漠方向可划分为4个区段。本文研究了各景观区段上的植被特征以及各区段丘间地及灌丛沙包土壤水分特征。结果表明:过渡带植被总盖度约为36%,灌木盖度为18.7%,草本盖度为18.0%,物种丰富度为19。区段1至区段4,物种组成、植被盖度、优势种、建群种均表现出与各区段立地条件相适应的特征,呈现出大灌木→草本→小灌木→草本的格局,对应的地貌呈现出固定→半流动→半固定→流动的格局。各区段丘间地土壤含水量垂直分布差异较大,5～60cm为降水主要持水层;因弱透水层的出现,区段1至区段3在60～180cm含水量出现了第二次波动,水分在弱透水层上的积累为地上植物的生存提供了重要的补给。沙包内土壤含水量从区段1到区段3显著减少。     

科尔沁沙地不同地形小叶锦鸡儿灌丛土壤水分动态

根据科尔沁沙地广泛分布的小叶锦鸡儿灌丛的植被调查和土壤水分监测数据,分析了沙地人工固沙灌丛的土壤水分时空动态和土壤储水量变化,并应用水量平衡法测定了灌丛蒸散发.结果表明:丘间地的土壤水分条件最好,丘中次之,丘上最低;灌丛区的土壤水分含量随深度增加而增加,在生长季内不会发生水分胁迫.灌丛区土壤水分与降雨过程高度相关,深层(50～180 cm)土壤水分同降雨的相关性高于表层(0～50 cm)土壤,并且深层土壤水分的变异也大于表层.整个生长期内,小叶锦鸡儿灌丛土壤储水量增加,土壤水分处于积累中,估算蒸散量占同期降雨量的64%以上.     

民勤绿洲-荒漠过渡区水量平衡规律研究

以甘肃省民勤县刘家地村外缘的绿洲 -荒漠过渡地带为定位研究区域 ,利用长期调查和水文学研究方法从生态系统的角度对绿洲 -荒漠过渡区的水量平衡特别是土壤水分和蒸散量的时空格局与动态特征进行了研究。结果显示 :1沿绿洲至流动沙丘这一过渡带 ,随着与绿洲距离的逐渐拉大 ,土壤含水量减小 ,0～ 80 cm土层的月平均土壤含水量的大小顺序为红柳沙包(5 .6 1% ) >白刺沙包 (5 .4 7% ) >流动沙丘 (5 .2 2 % ) ;土壤水分垂直变化规律是由表层到深层依次递增。 2在蒸散日进程中 ,红柳沙包和白刺沙包的蒸散率峰值到来时间比流动沙丘早 1～ 2 h,且日最大蒸散速率大小顺序为红柳沙包 (0 .2 4 mm / h) >白刺沙包 (0 .2 0 m m/ h) >流动沙丘 (0 .18mm/ h) ;影响绿洲荒漠 -过渡区蒸散的主要气象因子为日照百分率、气温、空气饱和差以及风速等 ,它们与日蒸散量的斜率关联度分别为 0 .717、0 .6 4 3、0 .6 4 9和 0 .70 5。3生态系统总的水量平衡特点是 ,水分输入主要靠降水和土壤水分的水平运动补给 ,而土壤和植被蒸发散是系统的主要输出项。     

内蒙古高原荒漠区四种锦鸡儿属植物灌丛沙包形态和固沙能力比较

测定了内蒙古高原荒漠区4种锦鸡儿属优势植物(柠条锦鸡儿、狭叶锦鸡儿、荒漠锦鸡儿和垫状锦鸡儿)不同大小灌丛的灌丛形态参数、沙包形态参数和沙包体积,目的是掌握这些锦鸡儿属植物灌丛的沙包形态特征、沙包发育特征和固沙能力随着灌丛发育的变化,比较4种锦鸡儿属植物灌丛沙包的形态、发育特征和固沙能力的差异。研究发现:柠条锦鸡儿沙包形态呈球冠状,狭叶锦鸡儿沙包呈圆锥状,荒漠锦鸡儿沙包呈圆台状,垫状锦鸡儿沙包呈半球状。同种锦鸡儿属灌丛沙包的底面直径与地上枝条鲜重呈极显著正相关关系(P<0.01),沙包高度与地上枝条鲜重无显著相关性(P>0.05),沙包高度与植物株高呈显著正相关关系(P<0.05),沙包坡角与地上枝条鲜重呈显著负相关关系(P<0.05),沙包半径与沙包高度呈显著正相关关系(P<0.05)。灌丛水平扩展快于垂向生长,灌丛沙包的水平发育也快于垂向发育。随着灌丛地上生物量的增加,4种锦鸡儿属植物不仅沙包体积增大,而且固沙效率也显著增加(P<0.01)。不同锦鸡儿属植物灌丛和沙包形态参数存在显著差异。柠条锦鸡儿和狭叶锦鸡儿的灌丛水平和垂直方向成比例扩展,而荒漠锦鸡儿和垫状锦鸡儿无论灌丛面积多大,高度基本不变。随着灌丛地上枝条鲜重的增加,4种锦鸡儿灌丛沙包底面积都在增大,其中荒漠锦鸡儿增长最快,垫状锦鸡儿次之,柠条锦鸡儿排位第三,狭叶锦鸡儿增长最慢。随着灌丛沙包水平方向的扩展,荒漠锦鸡儿沙包垂向扩展最慢,最终导致其沙包垂向尺度最小;柠条锦鸡儿、垫状锦鸡儿和狭叶锦鸡儿沙包两个方向发育较为均衡。4种锦鸡儿属植物的固定沙包体积和固沙效率都表现为:荒漠锦鸡儿>柠条锦鸡儿>狭叶锦鸡儿>垫状锦鸡儿。这些研究结果表明,灌丛地上生物量的不同决定了种内沙包的体积、形态和植物固沙能力的差异;灌丛形态和发育特征的不同决定了种间沙包形态、沙包发育和植物固沙能力的差异。     

绿洲-荒漠交错带环境特征初步研究

以甘肃省石羊河下游的民勤绿洲为例,对其绿洲外围与荒漠交错地带的植被和植被关系密切的灌丛沙包特征进行了系统研究,结果表明,由于生态交错带边缘效应的存在,植被盖度的变化呈现绿洲附近与交错带外围靠近流沙的地方较低,而位于流沙和绿洲之间的部分相应较高,植被盖度较高的部位主要集中于自流动沙丘至绿洲外600m处,而非紧靠近绿洲、这与地下水自沙漠向绿洲方向运移有关,在绿洲外缘300～600m的范围内植被盖度出现下降,原因可能与绿洲荒漠交错带界外区的形成有关,说明研究区绿洲0～600m范围即是该区域绿洲界外区的存在区域,灌丛沙包上的裸沙率以绿洲界外区为最大,大量沙包裸露,可致沙子的活动性增强,因此该地带是对绿洲土地造成沙质荒漠化的最大流沙来源。     

干旱荒漠白刺灌丛植被演替过程土壤种子库变化特征

土壤种子库是反映气候与土地利用变化的指示器,也是荒漠植被更新与恢复的基础。典型荒漠白刺灌丛植被广泛分布于我国西北绿洲边缘地带,对保护绿洲免受风沙危害发挥着重要作用。但是,对干旱荒漠白刺灌丛植被土壤种子库仍未见研究报道。应用空间代替时间的方法,选择石羊河下游白刺灌丛植被演替的初始阶段、稳定阶段、衰退阶段与严重衰退阶段样地,研究了白刺灌丛植被演替过程的土壤种子库物种组成、时空分布和数量变化特征。结果表明:石羊河下游白刺灌丛植被演替过程中,土壤种子库共出现9科18种植物,其中草本植物占到55%—80%,是白刺灌丛植被土壤种子库的主体。不同演替阶段土壤种子库密度以稳定阶段最高,达到660.7粒/m2,是初始阶段、衰退阶段和严重衰退阶段的5.6、14.5倍和6.2倍。不同沙堆部位,土壤种子库密度以迎风坡中部与背风坡中部最高,分别达到329粒/m2和309粒/m2;沙堆土壤种子库密度是堆间地的1.9倍,土壤种子库主要分布于灌丛沙堆上。不同演替阶段土壤种子库间的相似性系数均在0.6以下,除稳定阶段外,其他阶段间均属于中等相似水平;土壤种子库与地上植被的相似性系数均在0.5以上,达到中等相似或极相似水平。该研究进一步证明了灌丛沙堆和土壤种子库在白刺灌丛植被中的重要性,也说明人为干扰损害了白刺灌丛地下潜在植被及其恢复潜力。因此,需要开展人工种子库或人工植被建设以控制干旱荒漠白刺灌丛沙堆活化,并实现退化白刺灌丛植被恢复。     

浑善达克沙地不同微地形的土壤物理性质和草本群落分布及其相关性分析

采用样方调查和室内检测相结合法对内蒙古浑善达克沙地迎风坡、坡顶、背风坡和丘间地不同土层(0~10、10~20和20~40 cm)的土壤物理性质(包括含水量、田间持水量、容重、总孔隙度和毛管孔隙度)及草本群落的生产力(包括盖度和地上部生物量)和物种多样性(包括Margalef丰富度指数、Simpson多样性指数、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数和Pielou均匀度指数)进行比较分析;在此基础上,采用Pearson相关性分析法对不同微地形的土壤物理性质与草本群落各指标间以及草本群落生产力与物种多样性各指标间的相关性进行分析.结果表明:4种微地形的土壤物理性质总体上差异显著,但不同土层的土壤物理性质总体上无明显差异;从丘间地、背风坡、坡顶到迎风坡,土壤的含水量、田间持水量、总孔隙度和毛管孔隙度依次递减,而土壤容重则依次递增,说明迎风坡的土壤结构较差且水分散失较多,而丘间地的土壤结构和水分状况均相对较好.不同微地形间草本群落生产力和物种多样性总体上也存在明显差异,从背风坡、丘间地、坡顶到迎风坡,草本群落的生产力和物种多样性依次递减,仅Margalef丰富度指数表现为在丘间地最高、在迎风坡最低,说明迎风坡的草本群落物种多样性较低,群落稳定性差,而背风坡和丘间地的草本群落物种多样性和生产力水平均较高,群落稳定性较好.相关性分析结果表明:该区域的草本群落生产力和物种多样性与土壤容重呈负相关,与土壤的其他物理性状呈正相关,但仅部分指标间有显著或极显著相关性;草本群落生产力与物种多样性各指标间呈正相关,但多数指标间的相关性并不显著.研究结果显示:微地形能够显著影响浑善达克沙地的土壤物理性质和草本群落的分布特征,气候和人为干扰使该沙地的土壤物理性质受到严重破坏,导致草本群落生产力降低并处于不稳定状态.     

毛乌素沙地南缘沙丘生物结皮中微生物分布特征

为探明半干旱沙区生物结皮中微生物分布特征,对毛乌素沙地南缘沙丘生物结皮中微生物数量进行了测定。结果表明:微生物总数从丘顶到丘间地呈递增趋势,除丘顶与迎风坡、迎风坡与背风坡结皮层微生物总数差异不显著外,其他各地貌部位结皮层微生物数量之间差异显著。同一地貌部位结皮层、0～5和5～10cm土层微生物垂直分布有变化,其变化规律为:除迎风坡放线菌数量呈先增加后递减、迎风坡微生物总数、细菌、真菌和丘顶真菌数量随剖面的加深呈递减外,其他各地貌部位微生物数量均呈先降低,后增加的趋势。微生物类群的组成表现为细菌最多,放线菌次之,真菌最少。在丘间地细菌所占微生物总数的比例与丘顶相比有所增加,而放线菌和真菌的比例有所减少。结皮下0～5和5～10cm土层微生物分布与土壤含水量的变化同步,说明土壤水分可能是影响微生物垂直分布的重要因子。     

荒漠绿洲湿地土壤优先流与水分入渗特征

地表水分、溶质和污染物以土壤优先流的形式下渗到深层土壤或地下水中,将导致土壤养分流失与地下水污染等问题。因此,土壤优先流研究将为干旱区荒漠绿洲湿地水分运移与盐分积累过程提供理论依据。以荒漠绿洲湿地为研究区,选取柽柳灌丛、盐碱草地和杨树林,以道路为对照,采用室外染色示踪法对湿地土壤优先流特征与水分入渗进行研究。结果表明:不同植被类型土壤优先流入渗深度存在显著差异,其柽柳灌丛和盐碱草地几乎是杨树林和道的2倍;染色面积比随深度的增加而波动下降,0—20 cm土层染色面积比占总染色面积的54.42%—89.27%;染色路径宽度以20—250 mm和>250 mm为主;优先流类型以高相互作用混合流和非均质指流为主。在荒漠绿洲湿地,砾石促进土壤优先流发生,增加了侧向流;同时,粗根的减少抑制了优先流的发生;此外,土壤盐分通过影响土壤大孔隙分布而影响水分入渗过程。因此,荒漠绿洲湿地土壤优先流与水分入渗差异是土壤质地、根系分布与盐分离子共同作用的结果。     

毛乌素沙地生物结皮覆盖区土壤水分收支变化特征

探究半干旱生态系统生物土壤结皮对土壤水文过程的影响,并量化生物结皮覆盖下土壤水分收支状况,可为荒漠地区植被恢复与重建提供理论依据。本研究基于2018—2020年生长季(5—10月)对毛乌素沙地不同类型生物结皮(如藻类和苔藓)覆盖区土壤水分的连续观测,以裸沙为对照,分析了生物结皮对0～40 cm土壤水分收支的影响。结果表明: 与裸沙相比,藻类结皮和苔藓结皮显著降低了降雨对40 cm以下土壤水分的补充,增加了土壤水分的蒸发损失。在相对湿润年份(2018年),裸沙和不同类型生物结皮覆盖土壤的水分支出量(渗漏量+蒸发量)均低于降雨量,土壤水分状况为收入;在相对干旱年份(2019和2020年),藻类结皮和苔藓结皮覆盖土壤的水分支出量高于降雨量,土壤水分产生亏缺,但是裸沙相反。可见,生物结皮导致其下覆0～40 cm土壤水分收支不平衡,在相对干旱年份出现了水分亏缺,这可能驱动该区域植被群落向浅根系植物演替。     

Water Uptake and Germination of Leguminous Seeds in Soils of Changing Matric and Osmotic Water Potential

Water uptake and germination rate of chickpea and pea seedswere compared under changing water potentials in sand and soilaggregate columns and osmotic solutions. The final water uptake and germination were the same in allcases for a given water potential, but the rates were lowerfor seeds planted in sand columns, probably due to mechanicalconstraints imposed on the swelling seed by the dense sand,since the capillary conductivity, and the diffusivity to waterof the sand were very high. The area of the seed in contact with soil is not of importanceif soil aggregates are small as compared to the seeds but increasesin importance when the seeds and the soil aggregates are ofthe same size and at low water potentials.     

Pines influence hydrophysical parameters and water flow in a sandy soil

Pines, used for sand dune stabilization, can influence the hydrophysical parameters and water flow in an aeolian sandy soil considerably, mainly due to soil water repellency. Two sites, separated by distance of about 20 m, formed the basis of our study. A control soil (“Pure sand“) with limited impact of vegetation or organic matter was formed at 50 cm depth beneath a forest glade area. This was compared to a “Forest soil” in a 30-year old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) forest. Most of the hydrophysical parameters were substantially different between the two soil surfaces. The forest soil was substantially more water repellent and had two-times the degree of preferential flow compared to pure sand. Water and ethanol sorptivities, hydraulic conductivity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity were 1%, 84%, 2% and 26% those of the pure sand, respectively. The change in soil hydrophysical parameters due to soil water repellency resulted in preferential flow in the forest soil, emerging during a simulated heavy rain following a long hot, dry period. The wetting front established in pure sand exhibited a form typical of that for stable flow. Such a shape of the wetting front can be expected in the forest soil in spring, when soil water repellency is alleviated substantially.     

极端干旱区咸水灌溉下流沙压埋的减蒸抑盐效应

塔克拉玛干沙漠公路防护林采用2.58～29.70 g·L^-1高矿化度地下水滴灌,流沙压埋和水盐胁迫均是其面临的主要问题.探讨流沙压埋对土壤水分蒸发、盐分表聚及其分布的影响,对节水抑盐和指导干旱沙区水土资源的合理利用具有重要意义.采用微型蒸发器（MLS）研究了不同厚度沙埋下土壤蒸发及其水盐动态,并采用田间控制试验研究了滴管带不同厚度流沙压埋下土壤水盐分布状况.结果表明： 1～5 cm沙埋下,MLS土壤日蒸发量和累积蒸发量均随沙埋厚度的增加而逐渐降低,累积蒸发量比对照降低2.5%～13.7%,土壤水分蒸发抑制效率随着沙埋厚度的增加而增高,1～5 cm厚度的沙埋蒸发抑制效率达16.7%～79.0%,流沙压埋界面以下土壤最终含水量随沙埋厚度的增加而增大,比对照增加2.5%～13.7%.随着沙埋厚度的增加,MLS内流沙表层电导率逐渐降低,分别降低1.19～6.00 mS·cm^-1,而压埋界面以下土壤盐分含量逐渐增加,且流沙表层盐分的变幅大于压埋界面以下土层.咸水滴灌条件下,流沙压埋界面以下土壤含水量随着压埋厚度的增加而增大,分别增加0.4%～2.0%;流沙表层积盐量随着流沙压埋厚度的增加呈先增后减的〖JP2〗趋势,流沙压埋厚度为10 cm时最高,电导率达7.77 mS·cm^-1,流沙压埋界面以下土层含盐量均远低于流沙浅层,35 cm可作为节水抑盐的临界流沙压埋厚度.流沙压埋对土壤水分蒸发和盐分表聚抑制作用极为明显,在干旱沙漠区,可以利用流沙压埋这一自然灾害,达到减蒸抑盐、变害为利的目的.     

Ecophysiological behavior ofArtemisia ordosica on the process of sand dune fixation

The population structure and water relations ofArtemisia ordosica were studied at different stages of the sand dune fixation process. Vegetation coverage and biomass increased as the sand dune fixation process progressed. In contrast, individual growth rate decreased in the late fixation stage. On fixed sand dunes the modal age ofA. ordosica plants was higher and seedlings or saplings were rearely observed. On active sand dunes, settlement of seedlings was regulated by sand mobility; that is, seedlings were observed only when sand mobility was below 10 cm per year. Leaf transpiration was highest in active sand dunes. Stand transpiration in fixed sand dunes was lower than in semi-fixed sand dunes. These differences in transpiration were related to a decrease in soil water availability, which was affected by the increase in the aeolian fine soil component during the course of sand dune fixation. The reduction in soil water status and the cessation of sand movement were considered to be important factors in the decline of theArtemisia ordosica community.     

Study on optimization of moisture retention for golf green rootzone soil mixtures

Most golf course green have been constructed with pure sand or sand-based rootzone mixes. As we know, high sand content provides rapid drainage despite sand’s inefficiency in retaining moisture. However, drainage capability and water retention are both essential elements to the golf course green, and the addition of peat could increase the soil moisture retention, therefore, the research on the drainage capability and water retention of the sandy golf green has become more and more important these years. In this study, extreme vertex design was applied which is one of the mixture experiment designs widely used in mixture experiments, the study investigated the effects of the thirteen different rootzone soil mixtures using middle-coarse, fine sand, very fine sand plus silt and clay as well as peat as the materials under three kinds of golf green profile (1-layer profile, 2-layer profile, 3-layer profile) conditions on the water retention of green rootzone. Through the qualitative, quantitative and optimization analysis of water retention capability of the sandy golf green, evidence a basis for choice of green profiles and rootzone matrix could be provided. And the significantly correlative regression model was established between the moisture retention and components of rootzone soil mixture. In addition, the order of factor contribution ratio, effect of single and double factor and optimization of the model were analyzed in detail. The results were as follows: both green profile and soil mixture, which had interaction of each other, had significant effects on soil moisture retention. Additional attributes include high porosity and greater water holding capacity than sand, and the higher content of peat, fine sand plus silt and clay, the better water retention. The mixtures had much higher water content in 1-layer profile than that in the other two profiles. There was significantly higher water content in 2-layer profile for pure sand mixtures (A–E) and low peat mixture (F) than that in 3-layer profile, while there was no higher water content for other 7 high peat mixtures (G–M) (>5%) in 2-layer than that in 3-layer profiles. The significance of key factors in rootzone soil mixture on moisture retention were: very fine sand plus silt and clay > peat > middle-coarse > fine sand. According to the moisture retention 15–25% specification of USGA (United States Golf Association), the optimal soil mixture in 1-layer profile was: middle-coarse 71.4–73.5%; fine sand 17.8–21.5%; very fine sand plus silt and clay 6.8–8.4%; peat 0–1%. The optimal soil mixture in 2-layer profile was: middle-coarse 65.0–73.4%; fine sand 17.8–20.5%; very fine sand plus silt and clay 7.5–8.9%; peat 0.2–6.3%. The optimal soil mixture in 3-layer profile was: middle-coarse 62.3– 73.9%; fine sand 17.7–21.4%; very fine sand plus silt and clay 7.3–10.7%; peat 0–6.3%. These optimal recipes took through the limitation of previous research, which were practically important to golf green soil selection and profile design. Thus, both proportion and interaction should be considered when we choose the soil mixture.     

Hydraulic properties of layered soils influence survival of Rhodes grass (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Chloris gayana</Emphasis> Kunth.) during water stress

Survival of vegetation on soil-capped mining wastes is often impaired during dry seasons due to the limited amount of water stored in the shallow soil capping. Growth and survival of Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) during soil drying on various layered capping sequences constructed of combinations of topsoil, subsoil, seawater-neutralised residue sand and low grade bauxite was determined in a glasshouse. The aim was to describe the survival of Rhodes grass in terms of plant and soil water relationships. The soil water characteristic curve and soil texture analysis was a good predictor of plant survival. The combination of soil with a high water holding capacity and low soil water diffusivity (e.g. subsoil with high clay contents) with soil having a high water holding capacity and high diffusivity (e.g. residue sand) gave best survival during drying down (up to 88 days without water), whereas topsoil and low grade bauxite were unsuitable (plants died within 18–39 days). Clayey soil improved plant survival by triggering a water stress response during peak evaporative water demand once residue sand dried down and its diffusivity fell below a critical range. Thus, for revegetation in seasonally dry climates, soil capping should combine one soil with low diffusivity and one or more soils with high total water holding capacity and high diffusivity.     

Transport of a genetically engineered Pseudomonas fluorescens strain through a soil microcosm.

Vertical soil microcosms flushed with groundwater were used to study the influence of water movement on survival and transport of a genetically engineered Pseudomonas fluorescens C5t strain through a loamy sand and a loam soil. Transport of cells introduced into the top 1 cm of the vertical soil microcosms was dependent on the flow rate of water and the number of times microcosms were flushed with groundwater. The presence of wheat roots growing downward in the microcosms contributed only slightly to the movement of P. fluorescens C5t cells to lower soil regions of the loamy sand microcosms, but enhanced downward transport in the loam microcosms. Furthermore, the introduced P. fluorescens C5t cells were detected in the effluent water samples even after three flushes of groundwater and 10 days of incubation. As evidenced by a comparison of counts from immunofluorescence and selective plating, nonculturable C5t cells occurred in day 10 soil and percolated water samples, primarily of the loamy sand microcosms. Vertical soil microcosms that use water movement may be useful in studying the survival and transport of genetically engineered bacteria in soil under a variety of conditions prior to field testing.     

荒漠地区柽柳人工固沙林土壤水分动态研究

柽柳林土壤剖面的含水量与裸沙地土壤含水量的变化趋势有相似性,表层（0－30cm)含水量均受蒸发量和降雨量的影响变化较大,由于树冠的遮荫作用林地该层平均含水量高于裸沙地的含水量,30－200cm范围内林地土壤的各测量层平均含水量较裸沙地的低,林地和裸沙地土壤含水量均值随深度的变化可用二次函数描述;降雨对每月的0－200cm的土壤水量没有明显的影响,说明降雨多数在当月就被蒸散和深层渗漏所消耗;发现柽柳人工固沙林能在沙土壤的0－200cm范围内有较低的含水量条件下生存。
