Distribution and interspecific correlation of root biomass density in an arid Elaeagnus angustifolia–Achnatherum splendens community

Main objective of this study was to determine the interspecific relationships between two dominant species in terms of root distribution in a typical arid tree-herbage (Elaeagnus angustifolia–Achnatherum splendens) community at Xidatan, Pingluo County, Ningxia Autonomous Region, Northwest China. Eight concentric zones (namely, Z1–Z8) were set from the bases of E. angustifolia individuals to the open lands and five soil profiles were excavated in each zone. Each soil profile was divided into five layers at the depths of 0–10 cm, 10–30 cm, 30–60 cm, 60–100 cm and 100–150 cm. Roots were collected for each species, and soil water content (SWC) and soil bulk density (SBD) were measured for each layer. We found noteworthy roots layer separation in the sub-canopy zones (Z1–Z4). The soil layers with highest fine root biomass density (FRBD) of A. splendens was primarily in the 0–10 cm, which were significantly shallower than those of E. angustifolia; whereas in the inter-canopy zones (Z5–Z8), inconsistent separation, or even overlapping of highest-FRBD-layers emerged between the two dominant species. Correlation analyses showed that negative correlations of FRBD between the two species mainly occurred in those soil layers with relatively higher FRBD and lower SWC. In contrast, positive correlations corresponded with relatively lower FRBD and higher SWC.

Effects of deep soil desiccation on artificial forestlands in different vegetation zones on the Loess Plateau of China

Deep soil desiccations are increasingly threatening artificial forests on the Loess Plateau of China. Soil moisture in 0–1000 cm soil layers of 23 kinds of tree and shrub forestlands was measured. Average soil moisture in 0–1000 cm soil profile of the forestlands was 10.84%, obviously lower than soil moisture in local natural grasslands and soil stable moisture. Average soil desic-cation intensity reached a medium level. Maximum soil water use depth was close to or over 1000 cm, and the thickness of desic-cated soil layers in forestlands reached or passed 800 cm.     

青海湖鸟岛地区植物群落物种多样性与土壤环境因子的关系

The study on the relationship between plant species diversity and soil factors in the bird island of Qinghai Lake indicated that this island was a low diversity district, its Shannon-Wienner index and species richness decreased with the increasing soil available K, water soluble salt concentration and pH, and there were significant linear and quadratic correlations between them. Stepwise linear regressions showed that soil available K and water soluble salt were the key factors to estimate Shannon-Wienner index and species richness in this island, respectively, and no correlation was found between species evenness and soil factors.     

Effects of nitrogen addition on root dynamics in an alpine meadow,Northwestern Sichuan北大核心CSCD

Aims Our aim was to characterize the effects of nitrogen (N) addition on plant root standing crop, production, mortality and turnover in an alpine meadow on the Northwestern plateau of Sichuan Province, China. Methods A N addition experiment was conducted in an alpine meadow on the Northwestern plateau of Sichuan Province since 2012. Urea was applied at four levels: 0, 10, 20 and 30 g·m-2·a-1, referred to as CK, N10, N20 and N30. Root samples in surface (0-10 cm) and subsurface layers (10-20 cm) were observed using Minirhizotron from May 10th to Sept. 27th in 2015. The root standing crop, production, mortality and turnover rate were estimated using WinRHZIO Tron MF software. Repeated-measure ANOVA, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation were performed to analyze the effect of N addition on soil and root characteristics. Important findings N addition significantly increased soil available N content and decreased soil pH value, but did not alter soil total N and SOM contents under all treatments. N addition did not exhibit any significant effects on the mean root standing crop and cumulative root production in the 0-10 cm, but significantly reduced mean root standing crop and cumulative root production in 10-20 cm soil layer by 195.3 and 142.3 g·m-2 (N10), 235.8 and 212.1 g·m-2 (N20) and 198.0 and 204.4 g·m-2 (N30), respectively. The cumulative root mortality was significantly decreased by 206.1 g·m-2 in N10 treatment and root turnover rate was significantly increased with 17% for N30 treatment at the 0-10 cm soil depth, but the cumulative root mortality and root turnover rate was not significantly different at 10-20 cm soil depth. In addition, cumulative root production, mortality and turnover rate in 0-10 cm soil layer were significantly correlated with the soil available N content, whereas no significant associations were observed in 10-20 cm soil. Taken together, these results demonstrate that N addition alters the soil N availability and thus induces the root dynamics and changes in root distribution as well as C allocation in alpine meadow. © 2018 Editorial Office of Chinese Journal of Plant Ecology.

Soil salt and nutrient concentration in the rhizosphere of desert halophytes

North-West China is an arid region where halophyte plants are rich. Very little is known on the rhizospheric soil of the halophytes in this arid desert region. We conducted a rhizobag experiment on the desert Solonchak soil to investigate the salt and nutrient content in the rhizospheric soil of the desert halophytes. The total salt and the concentrations of 8 major kinds of salt ions increased in the rhizosphere of both succulent halophytes and salt secreting halophytes, but this increase was insignificant for salt-resisting halophytes. Accumulation of Cl^– and Na⁺ is the most significant among the 8 major kinds of salt ions. Accumulation of Cl^– was more significant than that of SO₄^2– in succulent halophytes and salt secreting halophytes. The Na⁺/K⁺, Na⁺/Ca²⁺ and Na⁺/Mg²⁺ ratios in the rhizosphere of all 7 kinds of halophytes were higher than those in the bulk soil. Total N increased significantly in the rhizosphere, but total P and total K decreased. However, the available N, P and K in the rhizosphere of the 7 kinds of halophytes except Phragmites communis Trin. behaved in such an opposite way that available N decreased but available P and available K increased. The ionic contents in the aboveground parts were higher than those in the underground parts of the 7 kinds of halophytes, in particular of both the succulent halophytes and the salt secreting halophytes. Accumulation of Cl^– and Na⁺ in the aboveground parts of the plants was the most significant among that of the 8 major kinds of salt ions.     

Soil moisture ecological environment of artificial vegetation on steep slope of loess region in North Shaanxi Province, China

By means of fixed-point monitoring and comparative analysis, soil water deficient situation, soil moisture dynamic variation laws, soil aridization and soil water compensation features under condition of different artificial vegetations were studied on 35–45° steep slope of loess region in North Shaanxi Province, China. The results showed that soil water was extremely deficient under condition of perennial artificial vegetation on steep slope, soil water storage (0–10 m) was only equal to 26.2%–42.0% of the field capacity in dry years, and in rainy years it was also only equal to 27.0%–43.3% of the field capacity. The order of soil water deficit was Caragana microphylla > locust > alfalfa > Chinese arborvitae > poplar > Chinese pine > wild land > apricot > Chinese date > farm land. Annual variations of soil moisture with the same vegetation were weakened with soil depth increasing, and occurred mainly in 0–200 cm soil layers. In the same growth season, all CVs (coefficients of variation) of soil moisture under condition of different vegetations were bigger and concentrated comparatively in 0–120 cm soil layers, but difference of CVs in different vegetations was small. Below 120 cm soil layers, CVs were smaller, but difference of CVs in different vegetations was bigger. Permanent dry soil layers always occurred under condition of perennial vegetation on steep slope, but the difference of soil aridization intensity was obvious among different vegetations and growth years. Soil water compensation and recovery depths in rainy seasons were 1.0–1.4 m, but the soil water storage increment and compensation degree in different vegetations were dramatically different. Soil water compensation depth in the same vegetation in rainy years was over 60 cm more than that in dry years, while the soil water storage increment in 5 m soil layers increased over 3 times. Under natural precipitation, the soil water deficit in artificial vegetation on steep slope cannot be ameliorated, and the soil aridization also can't be relieved.     

华北平原地区麦田土壤呼吸特征

2008年4-6月利用LI-8100及LI-6400-09测定了华北平原典型冬小麦田土壤CO_2通量,并分析了麦田土壤呼吸变化规律及其影响机制.结果表明:土壤呼吸日变化呈明显的单峰曲线,最高值出现在12:30-14:30,最低值出现在5:00-6:30;在不同的天气条件下,土壤呼吸速率晴天最高,多云其次,阴天最小;观测期间冠层内各高度CO_2浓度与麦田土壤呼吸速率白天呈显著线性负相关,夜间正相关;土壤呼吸速率与5 cm地温的季节变化趋势基本一致,二者显著指数相关;在田间持水量范围内,土壤呼吸速率与土壤湿度正相关,当土壤相对湿度低于30%时,土壤呼吸受到抑制而通量降低;综合考虑土壤温度与湿度的双因素指数回归模型能较好地解释土壤呼吸的变化情况,土壤温度低于15 ℃时效果更好.

Abstract：

By using LI-8100 and LI-6400-09, the soil CO_2 flux of a winter wheat field in North China Plain was determined from April to June 2008, with its change patterns and affecting fac-tors analyzed. The soil respiration had a single-peak diurnal variation, with the maximum at 12: 30-14:30 and the minimum at 5:00-6:30, and the respiration rate was higher in sunny days than in cloudy or overcast days. There was a significant negative correlation between the CO_2 con-centrations at all canopy heights and the soil respiration rate at daytime, but a significant positive correlation at night. The soil respiration rate presented a seasonal variation similar to the soil tem-perature at 5 cm depth, and had a significant exponential relationship with the soil temperature. Significant correlation was also found between the soil respiration rate and soil humidity when the soil moisture content was within the range of field capacity. Soil humidity less than 30% would limit the soil respiration, inducing a decrease of soil CO_2 flux. A multiple exponential regression model of soil temperature and moisture could better explain the variation of soil respiration, espe-cially when the soil temperature was below 15 ℃.     

Carbon Sequestration in Two Alpine Soils on the Tibetan Plateau

Soil carbon sequestration was estimated in a conifer forest and an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau using a carbon- 14 radioactive label provided by thermonuclear weapon tests （known as bomb-^14C）. Soil organic matter was physically separated into light and heavy fractions. The concentration spike of bomb-^14C occurred at a soil depth of 4 cm in both the forest soil and the alpine meadow soil. Based on the depth of the bomb-^14C spike, the carbon sequestration rate was determined to be 38.5 g C/m^2 per year for the forest soil and 27.1 g C/m^2 per year for the alpine meadow soil. Considering that more than 60% of soil organic carbon （SOC） is stored in the heavy fraction and the large area of alpine forests and meadows on the Tibetan Plateau, these alpine ecosystems might partially contribute to ＂the missing carbon sink＂.     

Spatial distribution of ant mounds and effects on soil physical properties in wetlands of the Sanjiang plain, China

Ants constitute a dominant element of soil mesofauna due to their biomass, abundance, richness of species and distribution within terrestrial ecosystems. They are important regulators of soil aggregate structure as they translocate large amounts of soil from the bottom to the soil surface. In doing so, they form biogenic structures (BS) made up of aggregates of different sizes and characteristics, i.e. ant mounds. These BS have varying characteristics according to the ant species and the soil where they carry their activities. Ants are considered soil engineers because of their effects on soil properties, availability of resource and flow of energy and nutrients in soil. Thus, it is important to gain information on their distribution and abundance. Relatively little is known about the spatial distribution of mounds and their role in the soil physical properties in wetlands of the Sanjiang plain, China. We conducted a survey of ant mounds and measured the density, height, and diameter and material composition of different ant mounds. The ecological characteristics of wetlands that ant mounds wide occurrence were also investigated, including soil type, hydrology characters and plant composition. Differences in soil particle composition, bulk density and soil moisture between ant mound and natural meadow were measured to assess the influences of ant mounds on soil physical properties. We also studied the effects of ant mounds on the microtopography of meadows. Ant mounds were found mainly in the transition zone between terrestrial and aquatic habitats, with wetland type, including Calamagrostis augustifolia wet meadow, C.augustifolia marsh meadow, shrubs marsh meadow and Carexmeyeriana–Carexappendiculata wetland, being a significant factor. Most of the mounds detected were inhabited by Lasius flavus Fabricius, Lasius niger Linnaeus and Formica sanguinea Latreille, which occupied 52.9%, 26.5% and 20.6% of the mounds surveyed, respectively. The density, height, diameter and mound composition were significantly different among the mounds of F. sanguinea Latreille, L. flavus Fabricius and L. niger Linnaeus. The average density and diameter of L. flavus mounds was significantly higher than those of other ant mounds. The average height of F. sanguinea mounds was highest among the mounds detected. Mound building activities changed soil particle size distribution, with the silt and clay content of mounds higher than for non-mound soil. Compared with adjacent, non-mound soil, the bulk density (0–30 cm) and water content (0–25 cm) of mound soil were significantly lower, but there were no significant differences between the mound soil of F. sanguinea Latreille and L. flavus Fabricius. The spatial distribution of ant mounds with different height and diameter also changed the micro-geomorphology of the soil surface, increasing the degree of fluctuation of the microtopography. The ant distribution characteristics and their ecological roles respond to a wide range of environmental alterations. The biogenic structures of ant and the specific environment associated with them have been defined as the “functional domain”, a sphere of influence that may significantly affect soil processes at certain spatial and temporal scales. Our results suggest that the distribution and structure of ant mounds can indicate wetland environmental changes, with mounds influencing ecosystem functions and enhancing wetland degradation.

研究地下水动态和土壤积盐过程有助于了解地下水抬升对土壤积盐的作用规律,合理利用水资源,防止土壤盐渍化。根据1985年、2000年和2005年的地下水等值线图资料,结合研究区1983~2005年水资源利用和0~20cm土壤层总盐数据以及土地利用数据,利用GIS技术和地统计学方法,分析了近23a来地下水动态,以及地下水抬升与地表积盐的关系。结果表明:区域输水灌溉是地下水水位抬升的直接动因。年均地下水水位抬升0.09m,地下水位每抬升1m,造成区域地表积盐区增加144.45hm2,地下水位的抬升对区域灌溉景观的积盐面积的扩张作用要强于非灌溉景观,在灌溉景观中耕地积盐速率最快,达0.43t.hm-.2a-1,23a间,单位面积的积盐量增加了40.04%,在非灌溉景观中,盐碱地的积盐作用较强,积盐速率达0.68.thm-.2a-1。     

盐渍化灌区土壤盐分的时空变异特征及其与地下水埋深的关系

土壤盐分空间变异特征和地下水埋深状况是指导灌区合理用水和防治土壤盐碱化的重要依据。运用经典统计学和地质统计学方法,结合GIS技术,分析了河套灌区沙壕渠灌域0-20 cm、20-40 cm、40-60 cm土壤EC值的空间变异特征及地下水埋深对土壤盐分分布的影响。结果表明:沙壕渠灌域土壤盐分Cv值在不同灌溉时期和不同土壤深度均大于36%,表现为强变异特征;各灌水时期和不同土壤深度土壤EC值均表现为中等强度的空间自相关性,表层0-20 cm土壤空间自相关程度最高;秋浇前不同层次土壤EC值的空间分布在灌域内从南到北呈增大趋势,秋浇后土壤含盐量的高值区在西北部或东北部;土壤盐分受地下水埋深影响显著,灌域内地下水埋深南深北浅,土壤盐分随地下水埋深的增大而减小,二者之间满足指数关系。因此,应采取合理措施控制地下水埋深,防止区域土壤盐渍化加剧。     

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.     

新疆玛纳斯流域非农业种植地盐碱性空间变异特征

土壤盐渍化是导致干旱区土地退化的主要原因之一,也是影响干旱区可持续发展和环境改善的基本问题。充分挖掘不同分类体系下盐渍土空间变异性可以为实施开垦或恢复生态措施提供科学依据。以干旱区开垦近50a的玛纳斯流域为研究区,在不同分类体系下,以土壤盐度,p H值,离子类型为指标,分析该区域非农业种植地(弃耕地,盐碱地,裸地,沙地)盐渍土类型的空间分布特征。结果表明:(1)研究区68%的样本属于非盐渍化,不同类型的盐渍土主要以链状分布于泉水溢出带-冲积平原-干三角洲地带,由南向北,区域整体盐分大致遵循先升高后降低再升高趋势,半方差函数分析土壤盐分呈现弱变异,说明这种分布情况是受随机(人为)因素的影响;而p H整体由南向北递增,传统统计学和地统计学的分析结果都表明土壤碱化呈现中等变异,受结构(自然)因素和随机(人为)因素的共同影响。表层土壤除在溢出带为氯化物型盐渍土外,其他地区自南向北由硫酸-氯化物型逐渐变为氯化-硫酸盐型和硫酸盐土、苏打盐土,离子的半方差函数拟合模型结果均是弱变异和中等变异,与美国盐度实验室分类体系的变异性结果相同,此类分布特征也是结构因素和随机因素共同作用的结果。(2)分析五种典型地貌的盐渍土分布,方差分析结果表明,5种地貌类型均呈现盐分表聚特征,碱化度则由南向北递增;其中盐碱特征最为显著的是泉水溢出带。泉水溢出带的盐土垂直方向的变化趋势为由表层至深层,盐土类型由硫酸-氯化物盐土变为氯化盐土;冲积平原和干三角洲样点处全剖面为氯化物-硫酸盐土,冲积洪积扇和沙漠地区则包含所有阴离子盐土类型。对玛纳斯流域盐渍土特性的空间异质性进行分析,可以为下一步有针对性地治理与改善土壤盐渍化提供科学依据。     

塔里木河冲积平原胡杨林的土壤水分状况研究

通过英巴扎断面实测资料,对塔里木河冲积平原胡杨(Populus euphratica)林的土壤水分状况进行了研究。结果表明：在胡杨幼林区域,地下水埋深1～2m,水质为1～3g·L-1的微咸水,且此区域可被洪水漫溢,整个土壤剖面土壤含水率都很高,利于胡杨种子萌发与植株扎根。在胡杨青壮林区域,地下水埋深2.5～4m,但地下水水质仍为1～3g·L-1。由于多数年份不能被洪水漫溢,土壤表层水分含量低,此区域难以满足胡杨幼林对水分的需求。但是,对于胡杨青壮林来说,它能够吸收2.5～4m深的土壤水分,因而此区域可以满足它的生长要求。在胡杨衰败林区域,地下水埋深已达5～10m,不能满足胡杨生长的要求,使得胡杨在逐步枯萎和衰败。     

宁夏红寺堡扬黄灌区土壤沙化和盐渍化及其相互关系

采用控制取样和典型取样相结合的方法,对比分析了红寺堡扬黄灌区玉米地和枸杞地、未利用地0 ～40 cm分层土壤质地、盐渍化特征、阳离子交换量(CEC)值及其相关关系.结果表明:控制取样条件下,除未利用地0～10 cm土壤含盐量(TS)达1.74 g·kg-1外,3种利用方式下0～40 cm TS在0.69～1.30 g· kg-1之间变化,盐化特征不明显;枸杞地20～40 cm土壤钠吸附比(SAR)和土壤碱化度(ESP)分别达到12.18％和l4.1％;玉米地0～20 cm粘粉粒和(CPS)为13.5％,构杞地O～40 cm CPS达37.3％.控制取样条件下,20～40 cm土层玉米地土壤碱化和沙化指标间显著相关;典型取样条件下,上述相关性消失,但CEC与沙化指标及盐渍化指标均显著相关.不同土地利用方式下灌区土壤沙化和盐渍化呈复杂的交互关系,CEC可以作为土壤环境质量变化的综合指示因子.     

咸水灌溉条件下土壤水盐分布特征

通过设置3种灌水量水平（100%ET_c、80%ET_c、60%ET_c）和3种灌水水质水平（0.7、3和6 g·L^-1）,研究了咸水灌溉条件下春小麦120 cm土层内水分动态和盐分累积特征.结果表明：水分在农田土壤中的分布主要受灌水量和土壤质地的影响,充分灌溉使水分存贮在较深土层中,而非充分灌溉则使水分存贮在表层;在相同灌水量的条件下,土体内的盐分积累程度随着灌溉水矿化度的增大而加剧;在相同矿化度条件下,土体内的盐分含量及积盐深度随着灌水量的增加而增大.在作物整个生育期内,连续使用咸水灌溉将导致土壤积盐,且非充分灌溉较充分灌溉更易使土壤表层积盐.     

高水位区暗管埋设下土壤盐分适时立体调控的生态效应

高水位地区作物生长关键期采用微咸水或咸水灌溉被证明在一定条件下可以起到增产正效应,但同时却存在着土体盐分积累及其对下茬或次年种植影响的生态负效应.为探讨消除或抑制微咸水或咸水灌溉对土壤盐分积累的生态负效应,保证作物种植增产的正效应,本文在河北近滨海高水位盐碱区开展了为期2年的试验研究,探讨了旱季微咸水或咸水灌溉带来的盐分异位积累与离子分布变化特征,分析了雨季关键期暗管适时排盐对土壤盐分的立体调控生态效应.结果表明：旱季咸水灌溉后土壤经历“积盐-脱盐-二次积盐”3个阶段;灌溉初期,1 g·L^-1咸水灌溉处理下0～50 cm土体脱盐,土壤含盐量随土壤深度增加而增加,HCO₃^-含量增加,其他离子含量降低;6与13 g·L^-1咸水灌溉处理下0～50 cm土体积盐,土壤含盐量随土壤深度增加而降低,HCO₃^-含量降低,其他离子含量增加;雨季暗管适时立体调控脱盐效果显著,土壤脱盐率达16.0%～45.7%,同降雨量下,降水分布越集中,脱盐效果越好;周年时间尺度上,咸水灌溉小区土壤积盐量小于对照区;咸水灌溉处理小区冬小麦产量显著高于对照处理,1 g·L^-1 处理高于6与13 g·L^-1处理.     

宁夏平原北部地下水埋深浅地区不同灌木的水分来源

宁夏平原北部引黄灌区地下水埋深浅是该地区土壤盐碱化的主要原因, 种植耐盐植物可以吸收利用地下水, 在降低地下水位的同时可以减少对地面灌溉的依赖。为了分析银川平原北部4种灌木对不同水源的利用特征, 于2010年生长季测定了灌溉前后20年生多枝柽柳(Tamarix ramosissima)、3年生多枝柽柳、3年生宁夏枸杞(Lycium barbarum)和3年生四翅滨藜(Atriplex canescens)木质部水及不同潜在水源稳定氧、氢同位素组成(δ¹⁸O和δD), 应用IsoSource同位素线性混合模型估算了不同灌木对不同水源的利用率。同时测定了0-200 cm土壤剖面的全盐含量、含水量和pH值以及灌溉前后光合气体交换参数。结果表明: 不同深度土壤水δ¹⁸O和δD值存在较大差异, 并呈规律性变化。土壤水δ¹⁸O和δD值随深度加深呈逐渐降低的趋势。灌溉后80 cm以上土壤水δ¹⁸O和δD值低于灌溉前。无论灌溉前还是灌溉后, 20年生多枝柽柳与3年生灌木相比具有更低的δ¹⁸O和δD值。灌溉前, 3年生多枝柽柳、宁夏枸杞和四翅滨藜主要利用表层土壤水(70.1%、52.3%和48.9%); 20年生多枝柽柳对地下水的利用率最高(21.5%)。灌溉后, 3年生多枝柽柳和宁夏枸杞对80-140 cm土壤水利用率较高(59.5%和58.8%)。20年生多枝柽柳对地下水的利用率最高(18.3%)。灌溉前, 20年生多枝柽柳净光合速率、气孔导度和蒸腾速率显著高于其他3种灌木, 灌溉后3年生四翅滨藜净光合速率最高。灌溉对3年生多枝柽柳和宁夏枸杞的净光合速率和气孔导度有显著影响。无论灌溉前还是灌溉后, 3年生四翅滨藜瞬间水分利用效率均高于其他3种灌木。研究表明, 不同灌木在不同水分条件下水分利用策略不同, 这主要与植物种类及树龄有关。灌溉前幼龄多枝柽柳凭借其对干旱较强的忍耐能力利用浅层不饱和土壤水, 灌溉后其又转而利用中层土壤水, 表现出潜水湿生植物的特征, 主要吸收利用深层土壤水分, 对灌溉反应不明显。     

新疆阜康荒漠绿洲景观格局动态及其影响因子分析

阜康荒漠绿洲土地利用景观格局受自然分异和水土资源开发利用程度的制约,通过划分景观样带和选取景观空间格局指标,重点揭示了该区域景观格局的变化及其影响因子．结果表明,1987～1998年间阜康土地利用景观格局变化主要表现为耕地面积在洪积扇上增加,在冲积平原上下降;荒地则刚好相反,林地面积在低山丘陵带和洪积扇带下降,在冲积平原上没有变化．牧草地面积在低山丘陵带上升,其它各带均下降城镇面积在各样带上都有所增加,水域各带基本不变．低山丘陵带和洪积扇带景观多样性和均匀度下降,优势度上升;而冲积平原则多样性和均匀度上升,优势度下降,景观破碎度有增加的趋势,表明了人为影响的不断增强,阜康荒漠绿洲景观格局的变化,集中体现在位于洪积扇与冲积平原的耕地和荒地面积变动上,关键影响因子是水土资源利用下的水盐动态变化,地形和土地利用是影响地下水位变化的关键因素,而地下水位的连续变化又影响了土壤水盐在空间的分布。
