Climate and Land Use Controls on Soil Organic Carbon in the Loess Plateau Region of China

The Loess Plateau of China has the highest soil erosion rate in the world where billion tons of soil is annually washed into Yellow River. In recent decades this region has experienced significant climate change and policy-driven land conversion. However, it has not yet been well investigated how these changes in climate and land use have affected soil organic carbon (SOC) storage on the Loess Plateau. By using the Dynamic Land Ecosystem Model (DLEM), we quantified the effects of climate and land use on SOC storage on the Loess Plateau in the context of multiple environmental factors during the period of 1961–2005. Our results show that SOC storage increased by 0.27 Pg C on the Loess Plateau as a result of multiple environmental factors during the study period. About 55% (0.14 Pg C) of the SOC increase was caused by land conversion from cropland to grassland/forest owing to the government efforts to reduce soil erosion and improve the ecological conditions in the region. Historical climate change reduced SOC by 0.05 Pg C (approximately 19% of the total change) primarily due to a significant climate warming and a slight reduction in precipitation. Our results imply that the implementation of “Grain for Green” policy may effectively enhance regional soil carbon storage and hence starve off further soil erosion on the Loess Plateau.     

黄土高原水土流失治理现状、问题及对策

黄土高原位于黄河中游地区,是世界上水土流失最为严重的区域之一;黄土高原水土流失治理问题历来受到国家高度关注,涌现了种类多样的水土流失治理模式,目前还缺乏对黄土高原区域尺度水土流失治理模式的总结和整理。本文总结和整理了建国以来黄土高原主要的四类水土流失治理模式,生物措施模式主要由退耕还林、荒山造林和封山育林工程组成,工程措施模式包括修建梯田和淤地坝,以及近期涌现的治沟造地工程;小流域综合治理模式主要体现在坡面、沟道系统整治,生物和工程措施相结合的特点,区域综合整理模式则强调对生态系统进行整体保护、系统修复和综合治理,达到生态、社会、经济可持续发展。基于黄土高原水土流失治理模式存在的问题,提出了黄土高原水土流失治理模式调整和优化建议,以期对黄土高原生态恢复建设和水土流失科学治理提供科学依据。     

黄土高原丘陵沟壑区典型小流域水土流失治理模式

黄土高原是我国水土流失最为严重的区域,几十年的水土流失治理工作成果显著。当前生态文明建设已是我国国家战略之一,对黄土高原水土流失治理模式现状进行系统总结十分必要。对水土流失治理措施体系和流域土地利用情况系统分析,整理和总结了黄土高原6个典型流域的治理模式,包括治沟造地、防蚀固沙、生态农业发展、三大体系、梯田开发和水资源高效利用等6种模式。对比各治理模式发现,小流域综合治理模式是以环境治理为手段,从而达到改善人类生存和发展空间的终极目的,措施技术体系构建上体现了从坡面到沟道、工程措施植物措施相结合的特征;但不同的生态环境现状和社会经济条件下,治理模式有不同的表现形式。基于小流域水土流失治理模式的相似性和差异性,从自然地理条件和社会经济发展需求两方面探讨了流域水土流失治理模式,提出黄土高原水土流失治理模式形成机制框架,以期对当前黄土高原水土流失治理、黄河流域生态保护与高质量发展提供参考。     

黄土高原不同土地利用类型土壤含水量的地带性与影响因素

通过对黄土高原南北样带大面积(北纬34°05'—40°75'、东经107°14'—111°09')土壤含水量(0—500 cm剖面)测定和相应植被类型调查,研究了黄土高原农田、草地、灌木林地和乔木林地4种土地利用类型土壤含水量的空间变化及它们之间的差异性。结果表明:黄土高原4种土地利用类型的土壤含水量皆呈现南北向地带性变化,自南向北土壤含水量有明显递减趋势,与多年平均降雨量、潜在蒸散量、土壤质地等的分布具有一致性;同一地点不同土地利用类型下土壤水分含量具有显著差异(农地草地灌木和乔木林地),不同植被类型根系分布、蒸散耗水量的不同是造成含水量差异性的原因。植被建设应遵循土壤水分分布规律,研究结果对黄土高原植被恢复建设具有一定参考价值。     

The effects of stubble retention and tillage practices on surface soil structure and hydraulic conductivity of a loess soil

The current cropping system of excessive tillage and stubble removal in the northwestern Loess Plateau of China is clearly unsustainable. A better understanding of tillage and stubble management on surface soil structure is vital for the development of effective soil conservation practices in the long term. Changes in surface soil structure and hydraulic properties were measured after 4 years of stubble management (stubble retained vs. stubble removed) under contrasting tillage practices (no-tillage vs. conventional tillage) in a silt loam soil (Los Orthic Entisol) in Dingxi, Gansu, the northwestern Loess Plateau, China. Our results indicated that after 4 years small but significant changes in soil properties were observed amongst the different tillage and stubble treatments. Surface soil (0–5 cm) under no-tillage with stubble retention had the highest water stability of macroaggregates (>250 μm), soil organic carbon (SOC) and saturated hydraulic conductivity. Significant correlation was found between water stable macro-aggregates and soil organic carbon content, indicating the importance of the latter on soil structural stability. The improvement in soil structure and stability was confirmed by higher soil hydraulic conductivity measurements. Consistently higher K_sat was detected in the no tillage with stubble retained soil compared to other treatments. Therefore, no-tillage with stubble retention practice is an effective management technique for improving physical quality of this fragile soil in the long term.

2010年来黄土高原景观生态研究进展

严重的水土流失以及不合理的土地利用加剧了黄土高原土地资源的退化,导致该地区生态环境脆弱、生态系统服务不断下降。针对黄土高原地区存在的问题,我国学者基于景观生态学原理和方法,围绕"景观格局演变-驱动机制-水土流失过程-生态系统服务"的框架开展了大量研究,取得了一系列研究成果。通过梳理和总结2010年以来黄土高原地区景观生态学研究的现状和特点,指出了目前研究中存在的问题和不足,突出表现在区域比较研究、景观格局与生态过程耦合研究、生态服务权衡方法和模型构建等方面比较缺乏。建议未来黄土高原的景观生态学研究应加强区域尺度上的综合研究和不同地区之间的比较研究,深化景观格局演变的形成机理;进一步开展景观格局与过程的定量识别方法学研究,开发格局-过程耦合模型;加强生态系统过程与服务研究,同时开展相应的实证性研究,研发适宜的生态服务权衡模型,进而深入探讨区域生态系统服务的权衡机制。     

黄土高原典型区域土壤腐殖酸组分剖面分布特征

黄土高原作为典型的气候敏感带和生态环境脆弱区,诸多因素影响着这个区域的土壤有机碳及其组分的分布特征。本文以黄土高原典型区域土壤剖面 0—200 cm土样为对象,分析了土壤腐殖酸、胡敏酸（HA）和富里酸（FA）含量随地理位置及土层深度的分布特征,并进一步探讨了土壤腐殖酸、HA和FA与全氮含量及土壤颗粒组成的关系。结果表明,黄土高原主要类型土壤腐殖酸、HA和FA含量均较低,且存在明显地理位置和土层分异性：从南到北同层次土壤腐殖酸、HA和FA含量均显著降低,同一区域随土层深度增加各组分含量均表现为在 0—40 cm土层明显下降, 40—120 cm土层稍有下降,120 cm土层以下基本稳定;土壤腐殖酸占有机碳比例变化范围为26.6%—54.7%,相对较小,且在整个剖面变化幅度不大,从南向北土壤腐殖酸占有机碳比例有增加趋势;土垫旱耕人为土在 0—40 cm、 40—120 cm和 120—200 cm土层中HA占腐殖酸比例分别为39.8%、49.0%和53.5%,HA/FA分别为0.66、0.96和1.15,黄土正常新成土在以上土层中HA占腐殖酸比例分别为26.3%、33.9%和42.3%,HA/FA分别为0.36、0.51和0.73,干润砂质新成土在以上土层中HA占腐殖酸比例分别为13.4%、37.1%和45.2%,HA/FA分别为0.16、0.59和0.82,说明黄土高原南北主要类型土壤腐殖酸品质总体较差,均属富里酸型土壤,且从南到北腐殖酸品质逐渐下降;土壤腐殖酸、HA和FA均与全氮含量呈极显著线性相关（P<0.01）,土壤有机碳、腐殖酸及HA含量与粘粒及砂粒百分含量亦呈高度线性相关（P<0.01）。     

The Characters of Dry Soil Layer on the Loess Plateau in China and Their Influencing Factors

A dry soil layer (DSL) is a common soil desiccation phenomenon that generally forms at a particular depth in the soil profile because of climatic factors and poor land management, and this phenomenon can influence the water cycle and has been observed on the Loess Plateau of China and other similar regions around the world. Therefore, an investigation of the DSL formation depth (DSLFD), thickness (DSLT) and mean water content (MWDSL) on the Loess Plateau can provide valuable information. This paper synthesized 69 recent publications (1,149 observations of DSLs from 73 sites) that focused on DSLs in this region, and the results indicated that DSLs are significantly affected by climatic and vegetation factors. The mean annual precipitation had a significant positive relationship with DSLFD (p = 0.0003) and MWDSL (p<0.0001) and a negative relationship with DSLT (p = 0.0071). Crops had the lowest DSLT and highest MWDSL values compared with other vegetation types. A significant correlation was observed between the occurrence of DSLs and the years since planting for grasses, shrubs, trees and orchards, and the severity of DSLs increased with increasing planting years and wheat yield. Our results suggest that optimizing land-use management can mitigate DSL formation and development on the Loess Plateau. Understanding the dominant factors affecting DSLs will provide information for use in guidelines for the sustainable development of economies and restoration of natural environments experiencing water deficiencies.     

黄土高原人工刺槐林生长衰退的生态生理机制

刺槐是黄土高原广泛栽植的水土保持树种,然而人工刺槐林的树木个体生长衰退已经成为该区域开展植被恢复建设、实现森林可持续经营所面临的重大生态环境问题之一.目前人工刺槐林生长衰退的定义、界定标准、量化指标尚未形成统一标准.探讨刺槐生长衰退的机理不仅是植被恢复的理论基础,也是退耕还林还草工程持续开展的直接需求,具有实际价值和研究意义.通过汇集相关研究文献,综合国际和黄土高原关于森林生长衰退、死亡率增加的研究,从生态学(气候变化、土壤干化、群落结构失调、森林经营管理不当)和树木生理学(水力学故障、碳饥饿、遗传及分子调节)两个角度概述了黄土高原人工刺槐林生长衰退的机制以及取得的研究进展.最后提出黄土高原人工刺槐林生长衰退研究的不足,并对未来研究进行展望.

不同尺度下土壤粒径分布特征及其影响因子——以黄土丘陵沟壑区为例

土地利用方式和环境因子是影响土壤粒径的重要因素,尺度不同其影响效应差异明显。研究不同尺度表层土壤粒径与土地利用、环境因子的关系对评价黄土丘陵沟壑区土壤物理性质具有积极意义。选择黄土丘陵沟壑区安塞集水区和沐浴小流域作为研究区,探讨两个尺度上表层土壤粒径含量、分布特征及其与土地利用类型和环境因子的关系。研究结果表明:(1)研究区域内表层土壤颗粒主要为砂粒和粉粒,在小流域和集水区尺度上,各粒径百分含量属于中等变异,D值为弱变异,但随着研究区由沐浴小流域变化到安塞集水区,粒径和D值的空间变异性均有所提高;(2)尺度不同,土地利用对土壤粒径的影响效应不同,在沐浴小流域不同土地利用类型的砂粒含量从高到低依次为荒草地农用地林地灌木林地园地,在集水区的变化顺序依次为荒草地灌木林地林地农用地园地,粉粒含量的次序均与砂粒相反,小流域土壤粒径分形维数D依次为灌木林地荒草地林地园地农用地,在安塞集水区为灌木林地荒草地农用地林地园地;(3)在沐浴小流域和安塞集水区,土壤颗粒分形维数与土壤砂粒、黏粒百分含量呈极显著正相关关系,与土壤粉粒百分含量呈极显著负相关关系,且砂质壤土D值高于壤土和粉壤土;(4)在沐浴小流域,植被盖度、相对海拔和坡位相对于土地利用类型、坡向和坡度对土壤粒径影响较大;而在安塞集水区植被盖度、土地利用类型和坡度对土壤粒径影响较大。     

两大优势产区‘富士’苹果园土壤养分与果实品质关系的多变量分析

探讨环渤海湾和黄土高原两大苹果产区土壤养分对‘富士’苹果品质的影响,筛选不同产区影响果实品质特性的主要土壤养分因子,明确优质‘富士’苹果的土壤养分含量指标等,为两大苹果产区果园合理施肥、提高果实品质等提供理论依据.于2010—2011年分别在我国环渤海湾和黄土高原两大苹果产区各选择22个县,每个县3片果园,共计132个乔砧‘富士’苹果园,对每个果园的土壤养分含量和果实品质指标进行调查和分析,应用偏最小二乘回归方法筛选不同产区影响果实品质的主要土壤养分因子,并建立果实品质因素与土壤养分含量关系的回归方程,线性规划求解不同产区优质‘富士’苹果的土壤养分含量优化方案.结果表明: 环渤海湾产区的土壤碱解氮、有效磷、钙、铁和锌含量极显著高于黄土高原产区,而土壤pH,有效钾含量显著低于黄土高原产区;黄土高原产区的果实可溶性固形物含量显著高于环渤海湾产区,而固酸比显著低于环渤海湾产区.土壤有效硼含量对两产区果实单果质量影响的正效应最大,而土壤总氮与两产区果实硬度呈负效应;环渤海湾产区的果实可溶性固形物含量主要受土壤总氮和有效硼的负、正效应影响,黄土高原产区主要受土壤有效钙和碱解氮正、负效应的影响.环渤海湾产区优质乔砧‘富士’苹果的土壤养分含量需求为高的土壤有效硼和pH,适宜的土壤有效钾;黄土高原产区为低的土壤全氮,高的碱解氮、有效钾和有效铁,适宜的土壤有效锌和硼.环渤海湾产区优质乔砧‘富士’苹果的土壤养分管理技术措施为增加土壤有效硼含量和调高土壤pH、调整土壤有效钾含量;而黄土高原产区为提高土壤碱解氮、有效钾和有效铁含量,降低果园土壤pH,适当调整土壤有效锌和有效硼含量.     

Vertical Profiles of Soil Water Content as Influenced by Environmental Factors in a Small Catchment on the Hilly-Gully Loess Plateau

Characterization of soil water content (SWC) profiles at catchment scale has profound implications for understanding hydrological processes of the terrestrial water cycle, thereby contributing to sustainable water management and ecological restoration in arid and semi-arid regions. This study described the vertical profiles of SWC at the small catchment scale on the hilly and gully Loess Plateau in Northeast China, and evaluated the influences of selected environmental factors (land-use type, topography and landform) on average SWC within 300 cm depth. Soils were sampled from 101 points across a small catchment before and after the rainy season. Cluster analysis showed that soil profiles with high-level SWC in a stable trend (from top to bottom) were most commonly present in the catchment, especially in the gully related to terrace. Woodland soil profiles had low-level SWC with vertical variations in a descending or stable trend. Most abandoned farmland and grassland soil profiles had medium-level SWC with vertical variations in varying trends. No soil profiles had low-level SWC with vertical variations in an ascending trend. Multi-regression analysis showed that average SWC was significantly affected by land-use type in different soil layers (0–20, 20–160, and 160–300 cm), generally in descending order of terrace, abandoned farmland, grassland, and woodland. There was a significant negative correlation between average SWC and gradient along the whole profile (P<0.05). Landform significantly affected SWC in the surface soil layer (0–20 cm) before the rainy season but throughout the whole profile after the rainy season, with lower levels on the ridge than in the gully. Altitude only strongly affected SWC after the rainy season. The results indicated that land-use type, gradient, landform, and altitude should be considered in spatial SWC estimation and sustainable water management in these small catchments on the Loess Plateau as well as in other complex terrains with similar settings.     

基于耦合协调度的黄土高原地区NDVI与降水关系的变异诊断

植被是地表生态系统的重要"指示器",在能量交换、水循环、碳循环、生物地球化学循环和维持中发挥着重要作用,降水是影响植被变化的主要气候因子,研究两者之间的作用关系具有重要的意义和价值。利用Mann-Kendall趋势检验法和Hust指数分析了黄土高原地区归一化植被指数（NDVI）的变化趋势,使用相对发展率（RDR）指数和重心转移模型分析了NDVI变化的时空差异,并构建了基于耦合协调度理论和Pettitt检验方法的NDVI与降水关系的变异诊断方法,识别了黄土高原地区NDVI与降水关系的突变点,探讨了降水对NDVI变化的影响以及造成NDVI与降水关系变化的原因。结果表明：（1）黄土高原地区73.49%面积的NDVI在1998-2017年有呈现显著增加趋势（P<0.05）,大部分地区NDVI在未来依旧呈现增加趋势;（2）黄土高原地区丘陵沟壑区与高原沟壑区的NDVI增加幅度大于黄土高原地区整体的增加幅度,而北部风沙区和农灌区以及黄土高原地区边界区域的NDVI增加滞后于区域整体变化;（3） NDVI与降水耦合协调程度逐年增强,两者关系在2006年发生显著突变（P<0.05）;（4） NDVI呈现显著增加区域降水明显高于不显著变化区域（P<0.05）,降水对NDVI变化存在一定影响,在丘陵沟壑区、高原沟壑区北部和东部河谷及土石山区北部NDVI和降水存在显著正相关关系（P<0.05）,然而黄土高原地区大部分区域的降水并不存在显著变化趋势（P>0.05）,因此造成黄土高原地区NDVI与降水关系在2006年发生显著突变的主要原因应该是人类活动（P<0.05）。研究成果有助于进一步理解黄土高原植被变化与降水的相互作用,为黄土高原生态建设和水土流失治理提供一定的科学支撑。     

An Ecological Basis for Integrated Environmental Management

Historically, approaches to environmental management activities have been reactive rather than proactive. Environmental laws and regulations have been generated primarily in response to particular issues (e.g., chemical contamination), creating a piecemeal approach for managing the environment. Responsibilities for managing different resources (e.g., water, air, forests, wildlife) have been assigned to different agencies or groups within government, further fragmenting environmental management. Proactive approaches that recognize the interconnectedness of environmental components are necessary to address complex and long-term environmental management issues. This Perspective proposes an environmental management approach that is comprehensive and systematic, while still being comprehensible to decision-makers and other stakeholders. The proposed approach is based on ecology and environmental values related to decision-making. It considers interrelationships among and between living organisms (including humans) and their physical environment. The proposed approach builds on the ecological risk assessment (ERA) paradigm, including goal (or problem) identification, values identification (ecological and human) for the environment being managed, and data collection and analysis focused on management decision-making. Stakeholder involvement and active participation are essential elements. As demonstrated herein, application of the proposed framework has enabled environmental managers to achieve workable solutions and to avoid or resolve environmental conflicts at both local and regional scales. The proposed framework is demonstrably transportable across political boundaries, applicable to all environments involving natural resources, independent of any particular ideology, and applicable to environmental management activities at all scales.

为了揭示黄土丘陵沟壑区撂荒地植被演替前期优势种猪毛蒿(Artemisia scoparia)对该区立地环境的适应性,探讨猪毛蒿演替生态位的变化,研究了陕北黄土丘陵沟壑区3种立地环境下(阳峁坡、峁顶、阴峁坡)猪毛蒿叶片形态解剖和生理特征的变化,以及这些变化与生态因子之间的相互关系。结果表明:(1)猪毛蒿叶片具有适应该区半干旱环境的形态及解剖结构:叶片针形化、具表皮毛、环栅型叶肉组织、海绵组织特化为贮水组织、维管束退化、具裂生分泌腔,C3植物呈现类似CAM植物的叶片特性;(2)在土壤、空气湿度相对干燥和强光生境的阳峁坡与峁顶,猪毛蒿具有较小的叶面积、发达的栅栏组织、致密的表皮毛和紧密的细胞间隙,而在生境条件较好的阴峁坡则呈相反趋势;(3)阳峁坡猪毛蒿叶片相对含水量和叶绿素含量较小,超氧阴离子自由基增加,但植物体内超氧化物歧化酶和抗坏血酸含量增加以清除植物体内产生的活性氧;(4)冗余及相关性分析表明,猪毛蒿叶片形态、解剖和生理指标的可塑性对立地光照强度、土壤水分和有机质含量较为敏感,同时其形态解剖与生理可塑性可共同调节来适应生境。综合分析,猪毛蒿对陕北黄土丘陵沟壑区撂荒初期光照强度大、土壤贫瘠但土层干化现象尚未出现的立地环境有较好的适应性,使其成为黄土高原植被自然演替过程中的先锋物种。     

Impact of land use on plant biodiversity and measures for biodiversity conservation in the Loess Plateau in China – a case study in a hilly-gully region of the Northern Loess Plateau

The Loess Plateau is a special natural–cultural unit in northern China. Intensive land use in the past has had, and forestation and grass planting at present will have inevitable impacts on plant biodiversity in the Loess Plateau. Based on the analysis of floristic features within three sampling sites with different land use practices and analysis of species richness among different land use types, we discuss impacts of land use on species richness and floristic features in the Northern Loess Plateau. The results drawn from this case study are as follows: (1) It appears that forestation and grass planting have had a positive influence on the local species diversity, but they have contributed little to the native vegetation in terms of conserving its floristic features. (2) Caragana intermedia shrubland, Pinus tabulaeformis forestland, and natural grassland have made important contributions to supporting indigenous species and maintaining local plant biodiversity. (3) There is a significant positive correlation between land use diversity and species richness. These results imply that practicing biodiversity conservation in situ is feasible and the suitable choice for the Loess Plateau. Concrete measures for biodiversity conservation in the area can include setting up small nature reserves and diversifying land use patterns to maintain as much habitat as possible for native vegetation. The artificial Hippophae rhamnoides shrubland should not be further promoted, considering its negative influence on biodiversity conservation.     

黄土高原归一化植被指数与自然环境因子的空间关联性——基于地理探测器

植被对改善黄土高原脆弱的生态环境有着关键作用,系统研究黄土高原归一化植被指数(NDVI)空间分布和环境因子的空间关联性,可为新时代黄土高原植被高质量建设提供科学依据。以黄土高原2000-2017年年均植被NDVI为研究对象,选取气候要素、地形因素、土壤类型和植被类型等自然环境因子,运用GIS和地理探测器技术手段,在剔除土地利用类型发生变化栅格的基础上,研究黄土高原年均NDVI与环境因子的空间关联性,结果表明:2000-2017年黄土高原年均NDVI值在0.016-0.72之间,呈地带性分布,由西北部向东南部逐渐升高,大于0.3的区域占50.23%;2000-2017年黄土高原年均植被NDVI分布具有空间异质性,且在不同植被区、地貌区、土壤区和气候区中,NDVI空间分布的主要环境驱动因子具有差异性。年均降雨量对NDVI空间分布具有强解释力,是黄土高原85.20%的区域植被生长的主要制约因子;约12.01%的区域主要受土壤类型影响,为中等解释力,其余区域的植被生长主要受年均气温,日照时数或海拔影响。建议综合考虑不同环境条件下植被NDVI的空间分布与环境影响因子的空间关联性,明确不同区域中植被NDVI的环境制约因子,以制约因子定植,在防止土壤干燥化、贫瘠化的前提下,提高植被覆盖率和生物多样性,以期促进黄土高原植被建设高质量发展。     

黄土丘陵沟壑区坡沟系统不同降雨类型的土壤入渗特征

黄土高原退耕还林草生态建设改变了区域覆被格局和下垫面环境条件,对流域地表水文过程产生了重要影响。研究黄土丘陵沟壑区坡沟系统不同降雨类型下的土壤水分入渗特征,对揭示植被恢复驱动下的降雨-入渗机制变化具有重要的科学意义。基于坡沟系统土壤水分入渗过程的定位监测,阐明了坡沟系统土壤水分入渗特征对不同降雨类型的响应,并采用Horton、Mezencev、Kostiakov、USDA-NRCS模型进行土壤水分入渗过程模拟,筛选特定降雨类型下最佳的入渗模型。结果表明：（1）0-60 cm是降水-入渗过程响应的关键层次,沟坡总入渗蓄存量较坡面高约42.67%;（2）坡沟系统土壤水分入渗量与深度成反比,且沟坡土壤水分入渗量较坡面平均高约9.75%;（3）不同降雨类型下坡面湿润锋深度均小于沟坡,且以极端暴雨、长历时小雨强降雨最深,短历时中雨强次之,短历时小雨强降雨最浅;（4）坡沟系统各降雨类型土壤水分入渗量对降雨的响应表现出一定的滞后性,沟坡响应快于坡面,沟坡湿润锋深度平均较坡面深约5-10 cm;（5） Mezencev入渗模型对四种不同降雨类型入渗量的模拟均具有较高精度（Adj-R²>0.96;NSE>0.92）,Horton模型可用于模拟极端降雨类型（NSE>0.98）,而Kostiakov模型、USDA-NRCS模型适于模拟短历时中强度降雨和短历时低强度降雨类型。
