Abstract
Improving soil hydraulic properties is one of important purposes of soil tillage. Recent studies on permanently charged soil have shown specific cation effect on soil water infiltration. In this study, specific cation effects on soil water infiltration and soil aggregate stability of both variably and permanently charged soils were comparatively examined. It was found that, specific cation effects on soil water infiltration and soil aggregate stability are quite different for permanently and variably charged soils. For the permanently charged soil, the sequence of specific cation effects on soil water infiltration was Li+ << K+ < Cs+, which was in accordance with the cation polarizability sequence of Li+ (0.029 Å3) << K+ (0.88 Å3) < Cs+ (2.56Å3); but for the variably charged soil, the sequence changed to Cs+ > Li+ > K+. Moreover, the sequence of cation concentration effect on permanently charged soil water infiltration rate (SWIR) was SWIR (0.0001 mol/L) < SWIR (0.001 mol/L) < SWIR (0.01 mol/L) < SWIR (0.1 mol/L) whereas that for the variably charged soil changed to SWIR (0.1 mol/L) < SWIR (0.0001 mol/L) ≈ SWIR (0.01 mol/L) < SWIR (0.001 mol/L). The differences of specific cation and cation concentration effects on soil water infiltration for the two soils came from those on soil aggregate stability. For permanently charged soils, soil electric field determined soil aggregate stability. However, for variably charged soils, besides soil electric field, osmotic pressure, positively charged colloids and surface reaction of metal cation may possibly play critical role in soil aggregate stability.
期刊介绍:
Soil & Tillage Research examines the physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic. Manuscripts will be considered on aspects of soil science, physics, technology, mechanization and applied engineering for a sustainable balance among productivity, environmental quality and profitability. The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research:
The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils. Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality. Characterization or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.
