其他摘要 | According to capillary theory, soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) actually reflects
the relationship between soil pore condition and soil water content. So any factor which
influences soil pore will lead to the change of SWCC. Root widely exists in the soil. Root can
insert, push the soil and stretch in it. This will significantly affect different size soil pore’s
distribution and connectivity. Laboratory soil column experiment planted wheat with different
densities was conducted. Soil water characteristic curve, saturated water content and capillary
water in 0-40 cm soil layers were measured layer-by-layer. Gardner model was used to
describe SWCC. SWCC, water-holding capacity and water-supplying capability of different
planting densities were studied. The results showed that:
1) Soil water characteristic curve
There is an obvious inflection point of SWCC when soil water suction is about
100kPa.The curve is relatively flat when soil water suction is less than 100kPa, while it
become steeper when soil water suction is greater than 100kPa.There are significant
differences between the treatments and the control. When the soil water suction is less than
100kPa, there is significant difference of the slop of the curve between each treatment. When
soil water suction is greater than 100kPa, only treatment E is steeper than others in 0-20cm
soil layer.
With the same planting density, there are some differences between different soil layers.
The difference is more obvious with larger planting density.
2) Soil water- holding ability
Water-holding capacity of different soil layers showed similar trends. Soil water-holding
capacity decreased minimum and then increase with increasing planting density of wheat. In
addition, with the same planting density, the differences of soil water holding ability in
shallow layers are more obvious.
3) Soil water-supplying capacity
In 0-20 cm soil layers, soil water-supplying capacity decrease with increasing planting
density of wheat. In 20-40cm soil layers, soil water supplying capacity decreased minimum
and then increase with increasing planting density of wheat. On the other hand, with the same
planting density, soil water supplying ability in shallow layers is weaker. With the increase of soil suction the specific water capacity was sharply decreased and it
had already reduced to 10-2 cm3/cm3·bar at soil suction -0.4bar. When soil water potential is
larger than -0.4bar, the specific water capacity is larger and soil can supply a large amount of
water. When soil water potential reduced to -2.5bar, the specific water capacity became
smaller obviously, water amount which soil can supply became less. When soil water
potential is smaller than -10bar and larger than -15bar, the water content still belongs to
available water, while it can be used difficultly.
4) Equivalent pore volume
Compared with the control treatment, macrospores (d> 0.05) increased greatly,
micropores(0.0002mm
extent.
