Abstract

The spatial distribution of water is mainly controlled by the vegetation canopy, which determines the partitioning of rainfall into interception, throughfall (TF) and stemflow. TF is known to be a critical component of hydrological and biogeochemical cycles. Spatiotemporal patterns of TF have been studied in different ecosystems, although the majority of studies focused on forests. Few reports on small‐scale TF variability and drivers in semi‐arid desert steppes have been published. Herein, we investigated the variability of TF of two morphologically distinct artificial revegetation shrubs (Caragana liouana and Salix psammophila) within a semi‐arid desert steppe, synthesized the data and analysed the characteristics of TF distribution and drivers at the rainfall event scales. We found that (1) morphological differences were sufficient to generate significant (p < 0.05) differences in TF between the two shrub species under the same rainfall and meteorological conditions, with a TF percentage of 70.22% for C. liouana and 79.87% for S. psammophila; (2) a linear outward radical increase in TF was identified with increasing distance from the base of the isolated shrubs. Wind speed had a greater effect on the distribution of TF beneath the shrub structure for C. liouana, whereas the distribution of TF beneath the shrub structure for S. psammophila was more affected by wind direction; and (3) canopy architecture, in particular the stem angle and canopy base area, which affected the openness of the canopy and played an important role in the distribution of TF in the two shrubs. The results reveal the key factors driving water use under rainfall during revegetation and the TF utilization mechanism in semi‐arid areas and highlight the complementary effect of different species on ecosystem hydrological functions.

半干旱荒漠草原灌木冠层下穿透物的空间分布及其驱动因素
水分的空间分布主要受植被冠层控制,冠层决定了降水在截流、通流和茎流中的分配。已知TF是水文和生物地球化学循环的关键组成部分。尽管大多数研究集中在森林,但在不同的生态系统中已经研究了TF的时空格局。关于半干旱荒漠草原小尺度温度变化及其驱动因素的报道很少。研究了半干旱荒漠草原两种形态不同的人工植被灌木(锦鸡儿和沙柳)的水分流通量(TF)的变异特征,并对数据进行了综合分析,分析了降雨事件尺度下水分流通量的分布特征和驱动因素。结果表明:(1)在相同的降雨和气象条件下,两种灌木的形态差异足以产生显著的(p < 0.05)差异,柳杉和沙棘的水分流通量比例分别为70.22%和79.87%;(2)随着离林灌木基部距离的增加,离林灌木的总通量呈线性增加。风速对柳杉灌丛结构下土壤水分的分布影响较大,而沙棘灌丛结构下土壤水分的分布受风向影响较大;(3)冠层构型,尤其是茎角和冠层基部面积,影响冠层的开度,对两种灌木的水分分布起重要作用。研究结果揭示了半干旱区植被恢复期间降雨下水分利用的关键因素和水分利用机制,并强调了不同物种对生态系统水文功能的互补效应。

期刊介绍: Water and Environment Journal is an internationally recognised peer reviewed Journal for the dissemination of innovations and solutions focussed on enhancing water management best practice. Water and Environment Journal is available to over 12,000 institutions with a further 7,000 copies physically distributed to the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) membership, comprised of environment sector professionals based across the value chain (utilities, consultancy, technology suppliers, regulators, government and NGOs). As such, the journal provides a conduit between academics and practitioners. We therefore particularly encourage contributions focussed at the interface between academia and industry, which deliver industrially impactful applied research underpinned by scientific evidence. We are keen to attract papers on a broad range of subjects including: -Water and wastewater treatment for agricultural, municipal and industrial applications -Sludge treatment including processing, storage and management -Water recycling -Urban and stormwater management -Integrated water management strategies -Water infrastructure and distribution -Climate change mitigation including management of impacts on agriculture, urban areas and infrastructure
