黄土丘陵区沙打旺草地土壤水分过耗与恢复

研究了黄土丘陵区沙打旺 (Astragalusadsurgens)草地土壤水分的动态规律和恢复过程及人为调控土壤水分的效果。结果表明 :沙打旺在该区生长年限为 6～ 7a,生物量形成的高峰期在第 3～ 4年 ,之后土壤水分大量亏缺 ,生物量逐年下降 ,第 6年生物量和水分均下降到最低点。同时土壤水分的消耗深度与根系的分布相一致 ,土壤干层主要集中在根系分布的密集区 0 .3～0 .8m。随着沙打旺生长年限的延长及根系的下扎 ,土壤干层逐渐加深 ,3～ 6年生沙打旺草地土壤干层平均厚度为 2 .3m;土壤水分要自然恢复到种植前的含水量需要 6～ 7a;通过水平阶和水平沟整地进行人工调控 ,土壤水分比自然恢复可提前 2～ 3a,一般需要 4～ 5 a的时间即可恢复正常

Over depletion and recovery of soil moisture on Astragalus adsurgens grasslands in the loess hilly-gully region

Dynamic laws and recovery process of soil moisture on A. adsurgens grasslands, as well the regulation effects of soil moisture by taking engineering measure in loess hilly-gully region are researched. The results show that A. adsurgen grows only six to seven years in the loess hilly-gully region. The maximum biomass in the growth process of A. adsurgen occurs in the third and fourth years. Thereafter, A. adsurgen growth slows down and its biomass decreases due to deficiency of soil moisture on A. adsurgens...
