基于侵蚀过程会导致树木生长环境变化,进而改变根系生长生理特征的基本研究思想,以金沙江干热河谷龙川江流域为典型区,从树根细胞解剖结构和组合特征的变异中提取土壤侵蚀信息,探索和发展了基于树木生理生态的土壤侵蚀研究新方法与技术。结果表明,不同侵蚀强度下根系的年轮分布特征不一致,其中偏心率大小顺序为:局部暴露根系>浅埋根系>完全暴露根系,且偏心率与根系以上土层厚度、暴露程度存在显著性相关;根系导管面积是反演侵蚀过程的敏感指标,早材导管面积的变异是确定根系暴露时间的重要依据之一;龙川江流域土壤流失厚度为1.47~4.47 mm/a,平均侵蚀模数约为3 692 t(/km2.a)。     

Soil erosion rates in rangelands of northeastern Patagonia: A dendrogeomorphological analysis using exposed shrub roots

Soil erosion is an important process of land degradation in many rangelands and a significant driver of desertification in the world's drylands. Dendrogeomorphology is an alternative to traditional methods for determining soil erosion rate. Specifically, the vertical distance between the upper portion of exposed roots and the actual soil surface can be used as a bioindicator of erosion since plant establishment. In this study, we determined (i) the soil erosion rate from exposed roots of the dwarf shrub Margyricarpus pinnatus [Lam.] Kuntze in two ecological sites in the northeastern rangelands of Patagonia and (ii) the relationship between shrub age and upper root diameter. We selected two ecological sites, a pediment-like plateau and a flank pediment, where the dominant soils were Xeric Haplocalcids and Xeric Calciargids, respectively. The soil erosion rates in the pediment-like plateau and in the flank pediment were 2.4 and 3.1 mm yr^− 1, respectively. Data clearly indicate a high rate of soil erosion during the mean 8-year life span of the dwarf shrubs in degraded patches, which represent ~ 10% of surface cover in the study area. Simple linear regression analysis yielded a highly significant predictive model for age estimation of M. pinnatus plants using the upper root diameter as a predictor variable. The measurement of ground lowering against datable exposed roots represents a simple method for the determination of soil erosion rates. In combination with other soil surface features, it was used to infer the episodic nature of soil erosion. This approach could be particularly useful for monitoring the effects of land management practices on recent soil erosion and for the establishment of records in regions where historical data regarding this process are scarce or absent.     

DENDROGEOMORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSES ON EXPOSED ROOTS ALONG TWO MOUNTAIN HIKING TRAILS IN THE CENTRAL ITALIAN ALPS

ABSTRACT. Mountain landscapes show rapid evolution, especially at high altitudes, in response to current climate changes. In addition, the greater number of routes and trails made available and the increase in tourism have caused some impacts on mountain areas. Gradual soil erosion has been observed along some hiking trails, with the latter tending to deepen, and with stronger erosion where the trail cuts the slope. Where trails cross forested areas, trees can suffer root damage from foot trampling as roots become exposed. A dendrogeomorphological study was conducted on trees along two hiking trails in upper Valtellina (Italian Alps). On the first trail, in Valle dei Forni, European larches and stone pines, mostly with exposed roots, were sampled. A mean erosion rate of 2.7 mm/a, related to deepening of the footpath, was obtained, and various degrees of root growth disturbance along the trail were observed. In particular, the growth of many sampled roots shows an increase in ring width corresponding with the moment when root exposure occurred, followed, after 3–5 years, by rapid growth suppression. The exposure of many roots has taken place since the 1980s. No significant variations in stem growth were observed, even when there were exposed and damaged roots. Along the second trail, in Valle Alpisella, exposed roots of mountain pines were analysed. A mean erosion rate of 3.2–3.7 mm/a, related to the escarpments bordering the footpath, was obtained, while no significant changes were detected in root growth.     

Dating of small gully formation and establishing erosion rates in old gullies under forest by means of anatomical changes in exposed tree roots (Southern Poland)

Small gullies occur in forested gully systems on the undulating loess plateau in southern Poland. The old gully hillslopes are mainly covered with 200-year old beech trees in contrast with the surface of the summit plateau, which is cultivated agricultural land. Beech roots are exposed in the gullies through erosion. Wood vessels in the root tree rings divide into early wood and late wood and, after the roots are exposed, start to make fewer vessels. These anatomical changes in root tree rings allow us to date erosion episodes.Small gullies form in a different manner on the valley floor and on hillslopes. In valley bottoms, erosion features are often formed at some distance from one another, and in time small gullies combine to form a single, longer one. Depending on local conditions, such as the hillslope profile, hillslopes may exhibit headward erosion or may be eroded downwards. Hilllope gullies may be transformed into side valleys as a result of gradual widening and deepening.Dating the exposure of roots indicates that small gullies had already formed in the valley system by 1949. Intensive gully erosion was recorded between 1984 and 2002, during intense precipitation in 1984 and, of particular note, during the extraordinary flood of 1997 which affected all of Central Europe. The mean rate of small gully erosion in the old gully system studied is 0.63 m/year. On hillslopes the mean gully erosion rate is 0.21–0.52 m/year, and on the valley bottoms 0.18–1.98 m/year. High bottom erosion rates resulted from the emergence of long gullies during the erosion episodes in 1984 and 1997. Sheet flow in valley floors intensifies at times of heavy rainfall which causes long gullies to form.Taking into account the fact that conditions favoured erosion, the rate at which the old gullies under forest were transformed should be considered slow. New side gullies form slowly within the valley and it appears that if erosion progressed at the rate observed, new side valleys would take a few hundred years to form.

Quaternary bedrock erosion and landscape evolution in the Sør Rondane Mountains, East Antarctica: Reevaluating rates and processes

Rates and processes of rock weathering, soil formation, and mountain erosion during the Quaternary were evaluated in an inland Antarctic cold desert. The fieldwork involved investigations of weathering features and soil profiles for different stages after deglaciation. Laboratory analyses addressed chemistry of rock coatings and soils, as well as ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al exposure ages of the bedrock. Less resistant gneiss bedrock exposed over 1 Ma shows stone pavements underlain by in situ produced silty soils thinner than 40 cm and rich in sulfates, which reflect the active layer thickness, the absence of cryoturbation, and the predominance of salt weathering. During the same exposure period, more resistant granite bedrock has undergone long-lasting cavernous weathering that produces rootless mushroom-like boulders with a strongly Fe-oxidized coating. The red coating protects the upper surface from weathering while very slow microcracking progresses by the growth of sulfates. Geomorphological evidence and cosmogenic exposure ages combine to provide contrasting average erosion rates. No erosion during the Quaternary is suggested by a striated roche moutonnée exposed more than 2 Ma ago. Differential erosion between granite and gneiss suggests a significant lowering rate of desert pavements in excess of 10 m Ma^− 1. The landscape has been (on the whole) stable, but the erosion rate varies spatially according to microclimate, geology, and surface composition.     

毛乌素沙地沙柳细根分布规律及与土壤水分分布的关系

以2 mm为粗、细根的划分界限,采用根钻法对毛乌素沙地的单株沙柳及沙柳林地的细根分布进行了调查研究,同时测量土壤含水率。结果表明,沙柳细根垂直分布深度为1.5 m左右,且随土壤深度的增加细根生物量逐渐减少,细根根量最大值出现在表层,在0～20 cm范围内集中分布,约占总根量的一半左右。沙柳水平根系发达,细根主要分布在冠幅半径3倍左右的范围内,表明沙柳通过水平扩展来获取分布于土壤浅层的大气降水;丘顶沙柳林地根量小于丘底林地根量,土壤水分的含量和分布决定沙柳细根根量的大小和分布。

极度干旱区不同灌水量下沙枣防护林根系分布特征

研究滴灌条件下极端干旱区防护林的根系生长, 对研究制定科学的防护林灌溉制度和维护绿洲防护林稳定性有重要意义。以塔里木河下游尾闾绿洲--喀拉米吉绿洲滴灌沙枣防护林体系为研究对象, 设置了3 个滴灌量梯度(18 L、30 L、48 L), 分析了极端干旱区沙枣防护林在不同灌水量处理下的根系分布特征。结果表明:①长期采用滴灌后, 沙枣根系大部分分布在较浅的土层(以地下0～40 cm为主), 越往下分枝能力越小, 沙枣根系生物量在0～60 cm土层中累计百分比达86%。②灌水量梯度不断增加后, 导致了根系总生物量随之增加, 但不会导致深层土壤根系持续增加, 因此, 即使用48 L的灌水量形成更深的土壤湿润层, 林木根系下扎能力与深度没有表现出随之增加的趋势。48 L滴灌量处理下, 土层根系含量20～40cm/0～20cm的比值较小(仅为0.6), 生物量主要集中在表层;30 L处理下, 土层根系含量20～40cm/0～20cm的比值较大(0.75)。③粗根(φ≥5 mm)数量随着滴灌量的增大而增多, 30 L滴灌量处理下, 5 mm>φ>2 mm的根最多;18 L滴灌量处理下, φ≥5 mm的根与φ≤2 mm的根系数量均最少。建议大规模防护林的灌溉中应采取多样化的灌溉制度, 才可达到极端干旱区防护林体系的可持续发展:棉林争水季节(5-7 月)适当亏缺灌溉, 8月以后可增加灌水量或1～2 次灌水。     

The effects of vegetation on runoff and soil loss: Multidimensional structure analysis and scale characteristics

This review summarizes the effects of vegetation on runoff and soil loss in three dimensions: vertical vegetation structures (aboveground vegetation cover, surface litter layer and underground roots), plant diversity, vegetation patterns and their scale characteristics. Quantitative relationships between vegetation factors with runoff and soil loss are described. A framework for describing relationships involving vegetation, erosion and scale is proposed. The relative importance of each vegetation dimension for various erosion processes changes across scales. With the development of erosion features (i.e., splash, interrill, rill and gully), the main factor of vertical vegetation structures in controlling runoff and soil loss changes from aboveground biomass to roots. Plant diversity levels are correlated with vertical vegetation structures and play a key role at small scales, while vegetation patterns also maintain a critical function across scales (i.e., patch, slope, catchment and basin/region). Several topics for future study are proposed in this review, such as to determine efficient vegetation architectures for ecological restoration, to consider the dynamics of vegetation patterns, and to identify the interactions involving the three dimensions of vegetation.     

耕作土壤表面的空气动力学粗糙度及其对土壤风蚀的影响

土壤表面粗糙度是影响耕作土壤抗风蚀能力的一个重要因素。根据风速廓线计算得到的空气动力学粗糙度,可以简捷而有效地刻画土壤表面的空气动力学性质。风洞模拟实验表明,耕作土壤表面的空气动力学粗糙度主要取决于暴露地表的土块直径,在土块大致均匀分布的条件下,直径愈大,空气动力学粗糙度愈大。土壤风蚀速率则随空气动力学粗糙度的增大而迅速减小,二者具有良好的相关性。

通过对延津县沙质壤土原状土进行风蚀风洞模拟实验，探讨了土壤风蚀量计算中的时距问题。结果表明，前人使用“风蚀模数”概念来计算土壤风蚀量会导致较大误差，原因在于同一风蚀事件中单位时间内的风蚀量随吹蚀时间的延续而递减，在风洞实验计算风蚀量时使用“累积风蚀量”概念将会有更精确的结果。

为研究砒砂岩与沙复配成土技术的固沙效应,本研究采用试验小区与大田试验相结合的方法,监测了土壤结皮厚度、土壤冻层深度、土壤水分、地表粗糙度和积雪消融等表征固沙效果的相关指标。结果表明:随着砒砂岩的引入,复配土中黏粉粒含量增加,土壤饱和导水率降低,而土壤含水量、结皮厚度、地表粗糙度和冻层深度都有所增加,复配土抗风蚀能力增强。在冬季,通过发展保护性耕作,农作物残茬、根系以及土地整治之后地形因素的改变等对防止土壤风蚀也起到了积极的作用。该研究可为砒砂岩与沙复配成土造田技术的固沙效应提供更充分的理论依据。     

地表岩石侵蚀速率对宇生核素暴露测年影响的研究

利用原地生宇生核素测定暴露年代时,通常会假设地貌体侵蚀速率为0。研究表明,该假设会低估地貌体的真实暴露年代。搜集2009~2012年全球不同区域56个岩石样品的宇生核素¹⁰Be测年数据,探讨侵蚀速率为0对于侵蚀速率为0.5、1以及2 mm/ka的样品,在不同暴露尺度上对暴露年代计算的影响幅度。结果表明,对于1×10⁴a尺度的样品暴露年代可能低估约0.5%,1%,2%;对于10×10⁴a尺度的样品可能低估约5%,7%,20%;对于50×10⁴a尺度的样品可能低估约40%,70%甚至100%以上。
