摘要: 为探明农田生物结皮发育对黑土团聚体稳定性和击溅侵蚀的影响及其水土保持功能,于作物生长季采集农田藻、藓生物结皮样品,比较了生物结皮与无结皮土壤的团聚体稳定性差异,测定了生物结皮对雨滴动能的削减作用及其单雨滴和模拟降雨溅蚀量,并分析了土壤团聚体稳定性和溅蚀特征与生物结皮基本性质的相关性。结果表明: 藻、藓结皮中<0.25 mm团聚体的比例比无结皮分别减少了10.5%和21.8%,但5~10 mm团聚体的比例分别为无结皮的4.0和8.8倍;生物结皮的大团聚体含量、平均重量直径和几何平均直径比无结皮分别提高了31.5%、76.2%和33.5%。与无结皮相比,生物结皮使雨滴动能平均削减了0.48 J;藻、藓结皮的击穿雨滴动能分别为无结皮的2.9和26.2倍,高生物量藻结皮削减的雨滴动能为中、低生物量藻结皮的1.3和6.6倍。在单雨滴击溅和模拟降雨条件下,生物结皮使溅蚀量分别减少了47.5%和79.4%;生物结皮溅蚀颗粒中>0.25 mm大团聚体占比为37.9%,比无结皮减少了40.3%,并随结皮生物量的增加而减少。土壤团聚体稳定性、溅蚀量和生物结皮基本性质三者具有显著相关性,其中,团聚体平均重量直径与单雨滴和模拟降雨溅蚀量呈极显著负相关,表明生物结皮提高团聚体稳定性是其减少溅蚀的原因之一;生物结皮的生物量、厚度、含水率和有机质含量等也对团聚体稳定性和溅蚀特征有显著影响。综上,黑土区农田生物结皮能显著提高土壤团聚体稳定性并减少击溅侵蚀,对农田土壤侵蚀防治和黑土地保护与可持续利用具有重要意义。

Abstract: To investigate the effects of biocrusts development on aggregate stability and splash erosion of Mollisols and to understand its function in soil and water conservation, we collected biocrusts (cyano crust and moss crust) samples in croplands during the growing season and measured the differences in aggregate stability between biocrusts and uncrusted soil. The effects of biocrusts on reduction of raindrop kinetic energy were determined and splash erosion amounts were obtained with single raindrop and simulated rainfall experiments. The correlations among soil aggregate stability, splash erosion characteristics, and fundamental properties of biocrusts were analyzed. The results showed that compared to uncrusted soil, the cyano crust and the moss crust decreased the proportion of soil water-stable aggregates <0.25 mm by 10.5% and 21.8%, respectively, while their soil water-stable aggregates 5-10 mm were 4.0 and 8.8 times as that of uncrusted soil. In contrast to uncrusted soil, the macroaggregate content (R0.25), mean weight diameter (MWD), and geometric mean diameter (GMD) of biocrusts were 31.5%, 76.2%, and 33.5% higher, respectively. In addition, biocrusts reduced raindrop kinetic energy by an average of 0.48 J compared to uncrusted soil. The breakthrough raindrop kinetic energy of cyano crust and moss crust were 2.9 and 26.2 times as that of uncrusted soil, while the reduction of raindrop kinetic energy by cyano crust with high biomass was 1.3 and 6.6 times as that of medium and low biomass, respectively. Under the single raindrop and simulated rainfall conditions, biocrusts reduced splash erosion amounts by 47.5% and 79.4%, respectively. The proportion of aggregates >0.25 mm in the splash soil particles of biocrusts (37.9%) was 40.3% lower than that of uncrusted soil, while the proportion of aggregates >0.25 mm decreased as biocrust biomass increased. Moreover, the aggregate stability, splash erosion amount, and fundamental properties of biocrusts were significantly correlated. The MWD of aggregates was significantly and negatively correlated with the splash erosion amount under single raindrop and simulated rainfall conditions, indicating that the improved aggregate stability of surface soil caused by biocrusts accounted for reducing splash erosion. The biomass, thickness, water content, and organic matter content of biocrusts had significant effects on aggregate stability and splash characteristics. In conclusion, biocrusts significantly promoted soil aggregate stability and reduced splash erosion, which had great significance to soil erosion prevention and the conservation and sustainable utilization of Mollisols.
