旱区经营人工植被对土壤干化过程的调控

人工植被在北方旱区具有重要的意义,但在干旱少雨的条件下开展建设,必须讲求水分平衡。基于此,作者通过考察长期的经营实践,从土壤水分角度讨论人工植被与环境之间的耦合匹配问题。阐述了普遍发生的人工植被作用下的土壤干化对植被自身的不利影响以及其可调控性,并进一步对调控途径和措施进行了分析。表明人为采取措施可以将土壤干化现象加以调节和控制,如局部带状或团块状种植、疏伐、轮作、休闲、灌溉等。在贯彻适地适种原则的基础上,还需选择耗水量少的抗旱节水植物和可维持土壤水库水平的密度或盖度,这是保证人工植被稳定持久值得重视的又一重要方面。预防土壤干化是首要的,需多途径相互结合进行调控。对土壤干化过程的调控实际上就是有效经营人工植被。需要结合经营目标评定人工植被的稳定性。

Controls over Soil Desiccation for Management of Artificial Vegetation in Dryland Areas of Northern China

Artificial vegetation is of great significance in the dryland areas of northern China,but water balance must be thought over in its construction under droughty conditions of less precipitation.Based on this,the paper dealt with the matching of artificial vegetation to its environment from the angle of soil moisture by investigating long-term management practices.After presenting the unfavorable feedback effects of soil desiccation occurring universally by artificial vegetation and its controllability,the au...
