半干旱黄土高原苜蓿草地撂荒过程土壤水分变化特征

土壤水分是黄土高原植被恢复和生态建设的主要限制因子,明确土壤水分随植被演替的变化规律是阐明黄土高原植被与水分相互作用机制的重要基础。以半干旱黄土高原小流域苜蓿草地撂荒过程为研究对象,通过对2016-2018年生长季苜蓿群落、苜蓿+赖草群落、赖草群落和长芒草群落四种草地群落0-1.8 m土壤水分进行动态监测以及0-5 m深度土壤水分测定,分析不同演替阶段苜蓿草地土壤水分的动态特征,探讨土壤水分对苜蓿草地撂荒过程的响应。结果表明：（1）在苜蓿草地撂荒演替过程中,土壤水分随群落恢复时间的延长呈先增加后降低的变化,降水的年际动态显著影响不同演替群落的土壤水分响应;（2）0-0.4 m土壤水分主要受降水影响,使得各草地群落在这一层次没有显著差异（P>0.05）,而1 m以下的土壤水分含量则主要受植被类型的影响,各草地群落之间存在显著差异（P<0.05）;（3）0-5 m深层土壤水分随群落的演替,1 m以下各土层土壤水分含量逐渐增加,表明撂荒过程中使土壤水分得到了一定程度的恢复。研究结果揭示了苜蓿草地撂荒过程土壤水分的变化规律,可为黄土高原生态恢复提供理论依据。     

Spatial and temporal variation of soil moisture in dependence of multiple environmental parameters in semi-arid grasslands

Grazing of grasslands changes soil physical and chemical properties as well as vegetation characteristics, such as vegetation cover, species composition and biomass production. In consequence, nutrient allocation and water storage in the top soil are affected. Land use and management changes alter these processes. Knowledge on the impacts of grazing management on nutrient and water fluxes is necessary because of the global importance of grasslands for carbon sequestration. Soil water in semi-arid areas is a limiting factor for matter fluxes and the intrinsic interaction between soil, vegetation and atmosphere. It is therefore desirable to understand the effects of grazing management and stocking rate on the spatial and temporal distribution of soil moisture. In the present study, we address the question how spatio-temporal soil moisture distribution on grazed and ungrazed grassland sites is affected by soil and vegetation properties. The study took place in the Xilin river catchment in Inner Mongolia (PR China). It is a semi-arid steppe environment, which is characterized by still moderate grazing compared to other regions in central Inner Mongolia. However, stocking rates have locally increased and resulted in a degradation of soils and vegetation also in the upper Xilin River basin. We used a multivariate geostatistical approach to reveal spatial dependencies between soil moisture distribution and soil or vegetation parameters. Overall, 7 soil and vegetation parameters (bulk density, sand, silt and clay content, mean weight diameter, mean carbon content of the soil, vegetation cover) and 57 soil moisture data sets were recorded on 100 gridded points on four sites subject to different grazing intensities. Increasing stocking rates accelerated the influence of soil and vegetation parameters on soil moisture. However, the correlation was rather weak, except for a site with high stocking rate where higher correlations were found. Low nugget ratios indicate spatial dependency between soil or plant parameters and soil moisture on a long-term ungrazed site. However, the effect was not found for a second ungrazed site that had been excluded from grazing for a shorter period. Furthermore the most important soil and vegetation parameters for predicting soil moisture distribution varied between different grazing intensities. Therefore, predicting soil moisture by using secondary variables requires a careful selection of the soil or vegetation parameters.     

半干旱黄土区坡面尺度柠条生长状况及影响要素分析

以半干旱黄土丘陵区典型小流域坡面大规模人工种植柠条林为例,基于坡面不同部位柠条生长状况和生境条件调查,定量分析了地形变化、土壤水分及灌木密度对柠条生长的直接、间接影响及其贡献率。结果表明:(1)东坡大株柠条生长明显好于南坡,下坡位柠条生长状况略好于中上坡位,其他各坡位之间柠条生长状况差异较小;(2)大株柠条生长与浅层土壤水分有正相关关系,而与灌木密度和深层土壤水分则呈负相关关系;大株柠条灌木高度、灌木纵截面积和冠幅体积对浅层土壤水分的响应敏感,冠幅长度对坡向和坡位的响应较为敏感,冠幅宽度对灌木密度的响应较为敏感;(3)地形和土壤水分变化解释了59.9%的大株柠条生长变异,其中坡向、坡位和浅层土壤水分是影响大株柠条生长的主导环境因子,它们分别解释了21.1%、16.0%和13.1%的柠条生长变化。研究认为半干旱黄土区人工植被恢复既要重视空间布局,也要在后期实施必要的管理措施以维持人工林地的稳定性。     

Effect of land use conversion on soil organic carbon sequestration in the loess hilly area, loess plateau of China

Changes in land use may alter land cover, which results in carbon stock changes in biomass as well as in the soil. In China’s loess plateau, vegetation restoration has been conducted since 1950s to control soil erosion and improve the ecosystem, with significant investment of money and manpower. Despite these efforts, soil erosion has still been severe. To reduce soil erosion and improve land quality, China initiated another state-funded project, Grain-for-Green, in 1999 in the loess plateau. However, it is not clear how effective this newly initiated project will be. In this study, we evaluated the effect of land-use conversion on soil organic carbon (SOC) and the potential effect of the current project on SOC sequestration in the Anjiapo catchment area of the loess hilly area of the loess plateau in China. This evaluation is based on SOC measurements in cropland versus in other converted land use types. We found that SOC sequestration mainly occurred in the surface soil after land use conversion took place. Land use conversion from cropland to shrubland or wild grassland (i.e. undisturbed land) was better for SOC sequestration than tree plantation in the semi-arid loess hilly area. By using the land use change in the study area as a scenario, the potential contribution of land use change on SOC sequestration due to the Grain-for-Green project was estimated. It was found that this project in the loess plateau of China would be helpful for SOC sequestration if successfully implemented.     

阿克苏河流域土壤湿度反演与监测研究

以新疆阿克苏河流域为研究区,以GF-1 WFV和Landsat8 OLI两种高分辨率遥感影像为数据源,结合102个不同深度层的土壤湿度实测数据,选择垂直干旱指数(PDI)、改进型垂直干旱指数(MPDI)和植被调整垂直干旱指数(VAPDI),对土壤湿度指数反演的效果进行比较和验证。结果表明,两种数据源下的PDI、MPDI、VAPDI与土壤湿度实测含水量的决定系数较高,尤其是0—10 cm的相关性最强,平均决定系数达到0.68,说明基于光学遥感影像近红外和红光波段反射率构建的反演指数对近地表层土壤湿度信息更敏感,但对地下较深层次的土壤湿度反演精度略低;MPDI和VAPDI能够在一定程度上克服混合像元对土壤湿度光谱信息的影响,反演的精度要比PDI高,尤其是高植被覆盖度区,采用垂直植被指数(PVI)修正的VAPDI反演精度最佳;基于两种遥感数据源的土壤湿度空间异质性基本一致,但空间分辨率较高的GF-1 WFV模拟的土壤湿度空间分异更加精细和明显。研究结果可为"一带一路"背景下干旱半干旱地区大范围和动态监测土壤湿度、开展定量节水灌溉等提供理论基础和实践参考。

黄土高原地区提取植被信息方法的研究

研究评价了适于黄土高原地区植被信息提取的最佳植被指数和方法。该地区分布有落叶阔叶林、草原和荒漠,植被类型丰富多样。然而土壤背景对植被信息提取有较大影响。经对比分析,修正后的土壤调节植被指数（ＭＳＡＶＩ）, 不仅能增强植被信号,并能大大减小土壤背景的影响,同时又能宏观地反映该地区植被类型的分布状况。它是黄土高原地区目前提取植被信息较好的植被指数。标准化差值植被指数（ＮＤＶＩ）、土壤调节植被指数（ＳＡＶＩ）和垂直植被指数（ＰＶＩ）分别适用于高密度、中等密度和稀少植被地区植被信息的提取和监测。各种植被指数多时象累加产生的图像能较好地提取植被信息

太行山南麓山区不同植被恢复类型土壤理化和细根结构特征

在干旱半干旱地区,由于水分匮乏、土壤贫瘠等因素,将形成一定的裸地斑块,而这些斑块极易造成水土流失、滑坡等灾害,而具有不同植被覆盖的林地则能有效的保持水土。为完善干旱半干旱地区不同植被恢复类型下土壤理化和细根特征,选择太行山南麓山区具有代表性的裸露地、草地、荆条地、侧柏地、栓皮地和刺槐地等植被恢复类型,比较了各植被恢复类型下的土壤养分、粒径及细根状况等差异。研究表明:1)相对于裸露地,有植被覆盖的植被恢复类型拥有良好的土壤及细根状况。2)在不同植被类型中,刺槐林的有效氮转化速率较高;侧柏林有较高的细根参数;草地能够提高土壤中可吸收的磷组分。3)林地类型和土层均对土壤中含水率、黏粒、细根生物量和比根长产生极显著影响(P0.001)。4)各植被类型的对于土壤斑块的利用能力不同;不同植被类型中土壤及细根状况变化量具有一定的相似性,研究为生态恢复中植被类型的合理布局提供了新思路。     

Methods for Collecting Vegetation Information in Loess Plateau

The optimum vegetation indexand methods for collecting vegetation information in loess plateau area were studied and appraised. In this area, there were deciduous broadleaved forest, steppe and desert. Vegetation types were rich and diverse. However, collection of vegetation information was strongly influenced by the soil background. The modified soil-adjusted vegetation index (MSAVI) after being compared and analysed not only could enhance vegetation signal, but also could minimize greatly the soil background effects. It could also reflect the distribution of the vegetation types macroscopically in this area. At present, it has been a more or lessideal vegetation index for collection vegetation information in loess plateau area. The collection and monitering of vegetation information for the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), soil-adjusted vegetation index (SAVI) and perpendicular vegetation index (PVI) were used in high, medium density and rare vegetation area respectively. For a variety of vegetation indices, the images which were produced by cumulative multitemporal vegetation indices could extract vegetation information well reflecting the vegetation distribution of that particular area.     

Revealing Invisible Water: Moisture Recycling as an Ecosystem Service

An ecosystem service is a benefit derived by humanity that can be traced back to an ecological process. Although ecosystem services related to surface water have been thoroughly described, the relationship between atmospheric water and ecosystem services has been mostly neglected, and perhaps misunderstood. Recent advances in land-atmosphere modeling have revealed the importance of terrestrial ecosystems for moisture recycling. In this paper, we analyze the extent to which vegetation sustains the supply of atmospheric moisture and precipitation for downwind beneficiaries, globally. We simulate land-surface evaporation with a global hydrology model and track changes to moisture recycling using an atmospheric moisture budget model, and we define vegetation-regulated moisture recycling as the difference in moisture recycling between current vegetation and a hypothetical desert world. Our results show that nearly a fifth of annual average precipitation falling on land is from vegetation-regulated moisture recycling, but the global variability is large, with many places receiving nearly half their precipitation from this ecosystem service. The largest potential impacts for changes to this ecosystem service are land-use changes across temperate regions in North America and Russia. Likewise, in semi-arid regions reliant on rainfed agricultural production, land-use change that even modestly reduces evaporation and subsequent precipitation, could significantly affect human well-being. We also present a regional case study in the Mato Grosso region of Brazil, where we identify the specific moisture recycling ecosystem services associated with the vegetation in Mato Grosso. We find that Mato Grosso vegetation regulates some internal precipitation, with a diffuse region of benefit downwind, primarily to the south and east, including the La Plata River basin and the megacities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. We synthesize our global and regional results into a generalized framework for describing moisture recycling as an ecosystem service. We conclude that future work ought to disentangle whether and how this vegetation-regulated moisture recycling interacts with other ecosystem services, so that trade-offs can be assessed in a comprehensive and sustainable manner.     

晋西黄土区土壤水分动态变化与植被群落关系研究

土壤水分是晋西黄土区植被群落生长与恢复的主要限制因素,为定量探讨该区域不同植被群落土壤水分变化规律,选择山西吉县蔡家川流域3种典型植被群落（油松人工林、刺槐人工林、天然次生林）为研究对象,研究土壤水分时空变化特征,以及土壤水分与降雨、气温和土壤养分的变化关系。结果表明：（1）近10年,研究区降雨分布极不均匀,表现为降雨前期不足,集中在中后期;近10年植被群落生长季,天然次生林土壤水分最大,刺槐林最小,且两者存在显著差异,但均与油松林地差异不显著;（2）研究区3种植被群落0~60 cm土层中根系分布存在差异。其中,同种植被群落不同土层间根系分布均存在显著差异;不同植被群落中,天然次生林与油松、刺槐林的根系分布在20~60 cm土层存在显著差异;（3）研究区植被群落土壤水分具有明显分层现象,即0~40 cm土层土壤水分变化较大,而40~100 cm土层波动较小,基本维持在10%~15%;表土层（0~40 cm）土壤水分变化与植被根系分布有关,且植被根系分布与土壤水分呈显著负相关;（4）通过对土壤水分与降雨、气温、有机碳、全氮、全磷、全钾等因素进行分析,发现土壤水分与降雨呈显著正相关,油松林地相关系数最高;气温只与次生林的土壤水分呈显著正相关;土壤水分与有机碳、全氮、全磷、全钾存在正相关,其中与全磷相关度最高。     

黄土丘陵半干旱区土壤水资源利用限度

以柠条为对象,采用中子水分仪对黄土丘陵半干旱区人工植被恢复过程中土壤水分与植物生长进行长期定位观测.结果表明:撂荒地播种后,随着时间推移,植物群落保持水能力增强,根系吸收利用水分的土层深度增加、土壤含水量下降.林地土壤出现干层,且干层土壤的深度和厚度逐年增加.植物对土壤水资源的利用限度为干层土壤深度等于最大补给深度时的土壤储水量.在黄土丘陵半干旱区人工柠条林地土壤水资源利用限度是0～290 cm土层的土壤储水量为249.4 mm.当人工林地土壤水资源接近或等于土壤水资源利用限度时,需要采取措施降低土壤水分消耗,或增加土壤水分补给,维持根系吸收利用水资源的相对稳定.     

黄土丘陵区辽东栎树干液流特征对边材面积和土壤水分的响应

运用Granier热扩散探针法对半干旱黄土丘陵区不同胸径辽东栎进行树干液流测定,并对太阳辐射、空气温湿度、降水量、土壤水分等环境因子进行同步观测,分析不同土壤水分条件下不同胸径辽东栎的树干液流变化特征及其对环境因子的响应.结果表明:辽东栎液流日变化特征总体上与太阳辐射和空气水汽压亏缺呈相同趋势,但液流峰值出现时间早于两个气象环境因子的峰值时间.同一树木个体在土壤水分条件较高时期的树干液流通量高于土壤水分较低时期.在相同土壤水分条件下,大径级样本液流通量显著高于小径级样本.采用指数饱和曲线函数对液流通量与太阳辐射和空气水汽压亏缺以及两因子的综合指标进行拟合,效果良好,可以反映液流通量对气象环境因子的响应规律.不同胸径辽东栎在不同土壤水分条件下的拟合曲线特征和拟合参数差异表明,在土壤水分较高时段,液流通量可快速上升至饱和值;在土壤水分较低时段,液流通量上升缓慢.小径级样本对土壤水分变化的反应更加剧烈.单位空气水汽压亏缺的日液流通量值(日液流通量与空气水汽压亏缺的比值)在两种土壤水分条件下的比值与边材面积呈线性相关,且小径级样本的斜率高于大径级样本,说明小径级样本对土壤水分的变化较为敏感,在土壤含水量较低时段,大径级样本较厚的导水组织对土壤水分供应不足起到了缓冲作用.     

全球旱地饱和水汽压差和根区土壤水分变化对植被生产力的影响及其成因

旱地约占全球陆地面积的40%,而水分是旱地植被生长的一大限制要素。尽管土壤水分与饱和水汽压差对植被生长的重要性已经得到了广泛证实,然而目前二者对植被生产力影响的空间异质性及其形成因素仍未得到深入研究,这对研究旱地生态系统对气候变化的响应带来了挑战。为了填补这一认知空白,研究收集了多源气象、根区土壤含水率和总初级生产力产品,基于随机森林算法量化了植被总初级生产力对根区土壤含水率和饱和水汽压差的敏感性,结合土地覆盖数据和分档平均方法分析了敏感性空间异质性的形成机制。结果表明:全球旱地饱和水汽压差与植被生产力总体呈显著上升趋势;根区土壤水分对植被生长的影响以正效应主导,饱和水汽压差对植被生长的影响以负效应主导;相较于森林和灌木,饱和水汽压差对植被生长的负效应及根区土壤含水率对植被生长的正效应在农田、草地和苔原及半干旱区更为强烈;植被生产力对饱和水汽压差和根区土壤水分的敏感性在数量上总体呈显著的线性负相关性。综上,植被种类和气候条件是导致全球旱地植被生产力对土壤水分和饱和水汽压差敏感性空间异质性的重要因素。     

黄土丘陵沟壑区退耕地自然恢复植物群落的分类与排序

采用TWINSPAN分类和CA排序方法,对黄土高原皇随便沟壑区安塞33个退耕地自然恢复植被样方进行了分类与排序。结果表明,在40a的演替过程中,退耕地植被大体上经历了猪毛蒿（Ａrtemisia scoparia）为优势种的群落、达乌里胡枝子（Ｌespedeza davnrica）和长芒草（Ｓtipa bungeana）为优势种的群落、铁杆蒿（Ａrtemisia gmelinii）为优势种的群落和白羊草（Ｂothriochloa ischaemum）为优势种的群落,４个群落的物种组成表现出较强的延续性和递进性。排序轴与环境因子的相关分析表明,土壤养分、土壤水分以及地形因子或强或弱地影响着退耕地自然植物群落的变化,其中土壤有机质、氮磷钾、土壤水分以及坡度与植物群落变化之间的关系密切。     

半干旱区沙地蒿类植被建成对土壤细菌的影响

半干旱区沙地土壤发育早期依赖固沙植被建成,油蒿和差巴嘎蒿作为我国北方半干旱区沙地半灌木植物群落的主要先锋种和建群种,研究其建成对土壤细菌群落变化的影响对沙质草原生态系统稳定性有重要意义。因此,围绕两个典型的半干旱区(科尔沁沙地和毛乌素沙地),通过高通量测序的方法探讨了蒿类群落生长前后两个阶段(流动沙丘和藓类结皮)的土壤细菌多样性和群落组成变化规律,结果表明:(1)植被建成前后,土壤总碳、总氮、全磷、电导率和含水率均有显著差异,而pH值在不同阶段变化不显著;(2)植被建成前后,土壤细菌多样性变化不显著,但是细菌群落组成在不同阶段具有较大差异。在门类水平上,厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)、拟杆菌(Bacteroidetes)、变形菌门(Proteobacteria)和放线菌(Actinobacteria)均是两个阶段的优势菌,但随着蒿类植被建成和土壤养分的积累,厚壁菌门的相对丰度降低,变形菌门和放线菌门的相对丰度增加;(3)两个阶段,不同深度土壤理化性质和优势菌的相对丰度均存在变化;(4)两种典型沙地土壤理化特性和细菌群落在植被建成前后的变化规律存在共性。通过空间代替时间序列的方法,阐明了土壤细菌群落随着半干旱沙地同类型植被建成的变化模式,可为总结半干旱区植被恢复与成土过程的关系提供参考和思路。

The role of weed invasion in controlling sand dune reactivation in abandoned fields in semi-arid Inner Mongolia, China

The growth of crops and invading weeds were examined at six sites under different cultivation conditions in semi-arid Inner Mongolia, where sand dune reactivation has been controlled by weed invasion. The soil moisture content was not sufficient for crop growth in over-cultivated farmland. The shortage of moisture in the soil suppresses the growth of both crops and weeds. Accordingly, farmers carry out weeding to maintain better soil moisture conditions for crop growth. Over-cultivated farmland is often abandoned when the crop yield decreases to an economically unprofitable level. If weed vegetation before abandonment remains, it becomes a core of vegetation expansion and recovers the entire soil surface. While weedy vegetation is lacking or has been grazed by livestock, sand dune reactivation occurs.     

基于地统计学的黄土高寒区典型林地土壤水分盈亏状况研究

土壤水分是黄土高寒区水循环、地下水补给和植被恢复的关键因素,基于地统计学研究土壤水分空间分布及其盈亏状况,揭示林地土壤水分的空间分布规律、变异特征及空间结构,对于区域植被恢复具有重要价值。以大通县安门滩小流域人工林地作为研究对象,运用地统计学方法对其5月、7月和9月的土壤储水量、林地耗水量和土壤水分盈亏量进行综合分析。研究结果表明:(1)土壤储水量总体表现为9月5月7月,而林地耗水量为7月9月5月,5—7月绝大多数林地的土壤水分呈亏损状态,而7—9月所有林地土壤水分都得到了补充,总体来看,5—9月研究区多数林地的土壤水分有所盈余,土壤储水量、林地耗水量和土壤水分盈亏量均采用指数模型作为最优理论变异函数模型;(2)5月、7月和9月土壤储水量呈南高北低、西高东低的空间分异规律,且西南-东北方向变异较东南-西北方向剧烈;各月林地耗水量在西南-东北方向变异较东南-西北方向剧烈,总体表现为西南部区域低于东北部区域;在5—7月、7—9月和5—9月这三个时期内,土壤水分盈亏量的取值均呈现出东北部区域小于西南部区域的特点。综上,当地土壤水分状况与林地耗水量分布格局并不完全匹配,虽然绝大部分林分能够维持土壤水分收支平衡,但部分山脚处的青杨林地和中部区域的华北落叶松林地出现了土壤水分亏损的现象。为防止林地水分环境恶化,在之后黄土高寒区的植被建设过程中,应适当调整林分配置。
