摘要
为了探明黄土风沙区根系网络串连、根土黏结及生物化学作用对于创造抗冲性土体构型的相对重要性,以沙黄土为研究对象,通过含根土壤、无根土壤及模拟根系土壤冲刷试验,分析了根系固土总效应、物理固结效应及生物化学效应等参数。结果表明:物理固结效应在根系总效应中的贡献值平均为70.9%;与苜蓿密度90株/m^2相比,物理固结效应在处理360株/m^2中增加了6.8%;在物理固结效应中,根系串连作用较为关键,平均占比78.2%;根系物理固结效应与根表面积密度在极显著水平(P<0.01)上呈指数递增函数关系。植物根系物理固结效应是强化沙黄土抗冲性土体构型的主要表现形式,且根表面积密度可较好地反映根系固土效应。
[Background] In semi-arid areas, soil erosion is a serious threat to land productivity and sustainability for natural and human-managed ecosystems. Traditional vegetation techniques are recognized as effectively in reducing soil erosion, whereas the most evident vegetation source that protects soil against erosion is root wedging, which is an important mechanism where roots can bind soil together and tie weak surface soil layers into strong and stable subsurface layers. Plant roots significantly affect soil erosion process of overland flow by physical consolidation （ root link and root-soil adhesive） and biological chemistry functions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative contributions of root link, root- soil adhesive as well as root biological chemistry functions to soil reinforcement. Such study could provide the theoretical explanation for root reinforcement resisting erosion in the flow-induced erosion regions. [ Methods] For this purpose, a simulated scouring experiment was conducted on a sandy soil with sand content 36.8% , silt content 51.2% and clay content 12.0%. Three treatments considered were： 1 ） fallow （CK）, 2） root-penetrated soil and 3） simulated-root-penetrated soil. Each treatment had four replicates. Rectangular, undisturbed soil samples （20 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm） were taken in the fallow and root pans and were conducted with a hydrological flume （2 m × 0. 10 m）. The flume contained anopening at its lower base, equaling the size of metal sampling box, so that the soil surface of soil sample was at the same level of the flume surface. Space between the sample box and the flume edges was sealed with painter＇ s mastic to prevent edge effects. The slope of the flume bottom could be varied and clear tap water flow was applied at 4.0 L/min rate discharge on a washing flume slope of 15° for 15 min. During the 15 minutes of each experiment, samples of runoff and detached soil were collected every 1 min in the first 3 min and 2 min in the following time usin
