不同降雨条件下侵蚀泥沙黏粒含量的变化规律

以2种典型黄土为研究对象,在模拟降雨条件下,研究了不同雨强和坡度条件下侵蚀过程中黏粒含量的变化规律,比较了泥沙侵蚀颗粒(未分散)和泥沙原始颗粒(分散后)大小分布特征,分析了团聚率和富集率.结果表明,泥沙侵蚀黏粒含量随着坡长和雨强的增大而增加,黄绵土变化明显,增加了8.77%和2.43%;而塿土只增加了2.76%和0.4%.随坡度的增大而减小,分别减少了4.91%和3.93%.黏粒团聚率<1,富集率>1,在侵蚀搬运过程中作为黏粒团被搬运,导致黏粒的富集.研究结果有助于深入了解泥沙颗粒在坡面侵蚀过程中的变化规律,深入理解土壤侵蚀机制,也能为面源污染模型的建立提供重要基础.

Temporal Variations of Clay Content in Eroded Sediment Under Different Rainfall Condition

Erosion and sediment characteristics were measured using simulated rainfall on two cultivated soils from the Loess Plateau, China. The size distribution of eroded sediment (non-dispersed) was compared with equivalent measurements of the same samples after chemical and mechanical dispersion(dispersed) to investigate the aggregation ratio (AR) and enrichment ratio(ER). Results show that clay content is increasing with the length and rainfall intensity. The loessial soil increased by 8.77% and 2.43%, but the Lou soil increased by only 2.76% and 0.4%. With the increase of slope, the clay content of the two loess reduced by 4.91% and 3.93%, respectively. AR values were less than 1 and ER values were greater than 1. These indicated that relatively slight clay dispersion occurred and that most of the clay in the sediments was in the form of aggregates. The results will improve understanding of erosion and sedimentation processes, which in turn will improve erosion modeling. Knowledge of temporal variations of clay in sediment can also provide the basis for understanding and modeling the transfer of nutrients on hillslope.
