The surface tillage layer structure of sloping farmland has a significant impact on rainfall-runoff distribution; however, the relationships between the Tillage Layer Depth (TLD) and surface-subsurface runoff, and the coupling effects of surface-subsurface runoff on soil erosion are still unclear. Thus, a set of laboratory experiments were conducted to reveal impacts of tillage layer depth (10, 20 and 30 cm) on surface-subsurface runoff relationships, eroded sediment processes, and soil erosion pattern evolution under the long-duration (180 min) rainfall simulation tests. A deeper TLD mitigated soil erosion. When the TLD increased from 10 to 30 cm, the average surface runoff decreased by 13 %, subsurface runoff increased by 5 %, and soil loss rate decreased by 19 g m−2 min−1. The interaction between surface runoff and subsurface runoff, influenced by the tillage layer depth, significantly impacts soil erosion. Both surface runoff and subsurface runoff promoted soil erosion at shallow tillage layer depths (10 and 20 cm). Conversely, at TLD 30, the diversion effect of subsurface runoff on surface runoff was enhanced, which played a role in alleviating soil erosion. With the increase of TLD, the soil erosion pattern changed from rill erosion to sheet or splash erosion. During the interill erosion stage, soil loss primarily occurred in the early stage, wherein the Variation Ratio (VR) of soil loss rate and surface runoff coefficient ranged from 2.16 to 4.99. At the rill erosion stage, the VR was approximately 1.0, and the soil loss rate was 2.7- to 6.3- fold greater than that in the interrill erosion stage. These results increase understanding of the effects of TLD on the coupling relationship of surface-subsurface runoff, which is of great significance for alleviating slope farmland erosion.
坡耕地表层耕作层结构对降雨径流分布有显著影响;然而,耕作层深与地表-地下径流之间的关系以及地表-地下径流对土壤侵蚀的耦合效应尚不清楚。因此,在长时间(180 min)降雨模拟试验下,开展了一系列室内试验,揭示了耕作层深度(10、20和30 cm)对地表-地下径流关系、侵蚀泥沙过程和土壤侵蚀模式演变的影响。较深的顶级域减轻了土壤侵蚀。当TLD从10 cm增加到30 cm时,平均地表径流量减少13%,地下径流量增加5%,土壤流失率减少19 g m−2 min−1。地表径流与次地表径流的相互作用受耕层深度的影响,对土壤侵蚀有显著影响。地表径流和次地表径流都促进了浅耕层深度(10和20 cm)的土壤侵蚀。相反,在TLD 30时,地下径流对地表径流的导流作用增强,起到了缓解土壤侵蚀的作用。随着TLD的增加,土壤侵蚀模式由细沟侵蚀向片状或飞溅侵蚀转变。在垄间侵蚀阶段,土壤流失主要发生在前期,土壤流失率与地表径流系数的变异比(VR)在2.16 ~ 4.99之间。细沟侵蚀阶段的土壤流失率约为1.0,土壤流失率是细沟侵蚀阶段的2.7 ~ 6.3倍。这些结果增加了对TLD对地表-地下径流耦合关系影响的认识,对缓解坡耕地侵蚀具有重要意义。

Soil erosion is a significant global problem that has far-reaching effects on agricultural productivity, environmental health, and ecosystem stability. The rainfall erosivity factor (R-factor) used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is a key parameter for predicting soil erosion. However, its accurate estimation is difficult owing to the complexities of high-resolution rainfall data and limitations of simplified models. This study addressed these challenges by introducing several key innovations. We developed a precise algorithm for calculating the R-factor using minute-interval rainfall data to effectively capture the necessary temporal resolution for assessing the impacts of extreme rainfall events. This advancement allows for accurate R-factor estimation, thereby overcoming the complexities associated with high-resolution data processing. In addition, we established a comprehensive rainfall erosivity database across South Korea based on 24 years of minute-interval rainfall data. We then derived an optimal regression model for estimating monthly rainfall erosivity from daily precipitation data, achieving high accuracy (R2 = 0.87) by effectively accounting for extreme rainfall events. These efforts culminated in the development of the Web-based Rainfall Erosivity Calculation (WREC) tool, which integrates a database, a rainfall erosivity calculation algorithm, and a simple estimation model. The user-friendly interface of the WREC tool offers a versatile platform for calculating rainfall erosivity, supporting practical applications, and assessing future climate change impacts. Expanding the WREC tool globally and adapting regression models to local contexts will enhance our ability to manage soil erosion and promote sustainable land and water management practices.
土壤侵蚀是一个重大的全球性问题,对农业生产力、环境健康和生态系统稳定有着深远的影响。通用土壤流失方程(USLE)中使用的降雨侵蚀因子(r因子)是预测土壤侵蚀的关键参数。然而,由于高分辨率降雨数据的复杂性和简化模型的局限性,对其进行精确估计是困难的。本研究通过引入几个关键创新来解决这些挑战。我们开发了一种精确的算法,用于使用分钟间隔降雨数据计算r因子,以有效地捕获评估极端降雨事件影响所需的时间分辨率。这一进步允许精确的r因子估计,从而克服了与高分辨率数据处理相关的复杂性。此外,我们还基于24年的分间隔降雨数据建立了韩国的综合降雨侵蚀力数据库。然后,我们推导了一个最优回归模型,用于从日降水数据估计月降雨侵蚀力,通过有效地考虑极端降雨事件,获得了较高的精度(R2 = 0.87)。这些努力最终导致了基于web的降雨侵蚀力计算(WREC)工具的开发,该工具集成了一个数据库、一个降雨侵蚀力计算算法和一个简单的估计模型。WREC工具的用户友好界面为计算降雨侵蚀力、支持实际应用和评估未来气候变化影响提供了一个多功能平台。在全球范围内扩大WREC工具,并根据当地情况调整回归模型,将增强我们管理土壤侵蚀和促进可持续土地和水管理做法的能力。

Vegetation growth can effectively alter near soil surface characteristics of plant communities, which is likely to impact the seasonal variation in soil erosion resistance of gullies, particularly in semi-arid and arid regions. However, few studies have been focused on quantifying the temporal variations in soil erosion resistance of gullies restored with different vegetation communities at the seasonal scale. This study investigated the seasonal variation in soil erosion resistance of gullies covered by five different plant communities on the Loess Plateau. The experiment was conducted 7 times from 15 May to October 4, 2023 at an approximately 3-week interval. For each time, 90 natural undisturbed topsoil samples were carefully collected from the bottom, left, and right banks of each gully. The collected samples were subjected to scouring under different hydraulic conditions to measure soil detachment capacity and then to determine soil erosion resistance, reflected by rill erodibility (Kr) and soil critical shear stress (τc). Near soil surface characteristics of plant community were also measured at the same sites with an identical frequency. The results showed that soil erosion resistance differed significantly for gullies covered by different plant communities. The mean Kr of grass communities was 0.17 m s−1, which was 47.8 % and 30.6 % to that of shrub and forest communities, respectively. The mean τc of grass communities was 1.45 and 1.26 times that of shrub and forest communities. During the vegetation growth season, soil erosion resistance of gullies covered by different plant communities increased gradually. The seasonal variations in soil erosion resistance were dominantly influenced by the temporal changes of soil cohesion (Coh), soil penetration resistance (PR), water stable aggregate (WSA), and root mass density (RMD). Kr decreased exponentially with Coh and WSA, and logarithmically with PR and RMD, while τc increased linearly with these four factors. Rill erodibility could be well estimated by Coh, PR, WSA, and RMD (R2 = 0.91, NSE = 0.91). The results are conducive to insight into the seasonal variation in erosion of relatively stable gullies covered by vegetation in semi-arid regions.
植被生长可以有效地改变植物群落近土表面特征,从而可能影响沟渠土壤抗侵蚀能力的季节变化,特别是在半干旱和干旱区。然而,在季节尺度上,对不同植被群落修复的沟沟土壤抗侵蚀能力的时间变化进行量化研究较少。研究了黄土高原5种不同植物群落覆盖沟壑区土壤抗侵蚀能力的季节变化。实验于2023年5月15日至10月4日进行了7次,间隔时间约为3周。每次,从每个沟壑的底部、左岸和右岸仔细收集90个未受干扰的自然表土样本。在不同的水力条件下,对所收集的样品进行冲刷,测量土壤的剥离能力,然后通过细沟可蚀性(Kr)和土壤临界剪应力(τc)来确定土壤的抗侵蚀能力。在同一地点以相同频率测量了植物群落近土壤表面特征。结果表明,不同植物群落覆盖沟渠的土壤抗侵蚀能力存在显著差异。草木群落的平均Kr为0.17 m s−1,分别为灌丛和森林群落的47.8%和30.6%。草木群落的平均τc分别是灌木和森林群落的1.45倍和1.26倍。在植被生长季,不同植物群落覆盖沟渠的抗侵蚀能力逐渐增强。土壤抗蚀性的季节变化主要受土壤黏聚力(Coh)、土壤渗透阻力(PR)、水稳性团聚体(WSA)和根系质量密度(RMD)的时间变化影响。Kr随Coh和WSA呈指数递减,随PR和RMD呈对数递减,τc随这4个因子呈线性递增。Coh、PR、WSA和RMD可以很好地估计细沟的可蚀性(R2 = 0.91, NSE = 0.91)。研究结果有助于了解半干旱区植被覆盖的相对稳定沟渠侵蚀的季节变化规律。

Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) is an essential tool for understanding the complex relationship between soil and the environment. In this study, we digitized the soil map of Israel created by Ravikovitch in 1969 (that was based on a local classification system) and used Landsat 8 spectral data to predict soil classes across Israel using machine learning. We also made a similar analysis using a global USDA soil orders layer. This work is pioneering, and this is the first attempt to transfer the enormous and important work done by Ravikovitch to the digital level by combining this map with satellite observations of Landsat 8. Our study showed that the spectral-based predictions using Landsat 8 data in combination with the USDA soil orders data and machine learning techniques resulted in very accurate predictions of USDA soil orders in Israel (accuracy = 0.84) and in Cyprus (accuracy = 0.88). We also tested the transferability of the Israeli USDA soil orders model to Cyprus, a nearby country with a similar soil taxonomy, however, poor accuracies were obtained at this stage (accuracy = 0.13). The predictions on the digital map of Ravikovitch were intermediate (accuracy = 0.54) because so many classes were required to predict (24 classes). Our study highlights the importance of digitizing and updating existing soil maps, and demonstrates the potential of combining machine learning with satellite spectral data for accurate soil classification.

<div><div>Wind erosion is widely recognised as one of the causes of soil degradation, which is exacerbated by the effects of freezing and thawing, and poses a serious threat to the sustainability of agricultural production. The mechanisms of freeze-thaw effects on wind erosion in the Mollisols region have been the subject of considerable investigation from the perspective of what the impact of freeze-thaw processes have on soil aggregates. In contrast, the role of the physical crust in the mechanism of freeze-thaw effects on wind erosion remains uncertain. In this study, for disentangling the changes in environmental conditions (freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs), initial soil moisture (M)) on aggregate size distribution, mean weight diameter (MWD), crust formation and their properties, and the roles played by these changes in influencing the magnitude of wind erosion (W), a wind tunnel simulation experiment was used to measure the wind erosion rate of erodible soil aggregates with four diameter ranges (D). The relationship between the variations in the distribution of aggregate sizes and the properties of the crust, as well as the impact of freezing and thawing on the distribution of aggregate sizes, were examined. The findings indicated that both aggregates and crust were susceptible to damage during the freeze-thaw cycle. The MWD of the aggregates exhibited a notable alteration following the 1st freeze-thaw cycle (p < 0.05). There exists a good exponential correlation between the strength of the crust and the number of freeze-thaw cycles (R<sup>2</sup> > 0.70). The crust strength demonstrated a decline significantly with an increase in the number of freeze-thaw cycles. The variation tendency of crust strength tended to be flat and towards a minimum crust strength of 4.27 kPa (D<sub>0.5–1</sub>), 2.87 kPa (D<sub>0.25–0.5</sub>), and 2.82 kPa (D <sub><</sub> <sub>0.25</sub>) beyond 6th freeze-thaw cycles. The initial moisture content had a significant impact on the variation in aggregate sizes, with higher moisture leading to greater fluctuations in the variation percentage of aggregates breaking or aggregating. The percentage of de-aggregation (disintegration of soil aggregates) varied from 12.68% to 20.64%, while the percentage of re-aggregation (recombination of soil aggregates) varied from 0.84% to 10.78%. When the moisture content of the soil was greater than or equal to 12%, a physical crust formed on the surface of the constructed soil samples, with an approximate thickness of 1 mm. When D ≥ 0.25 mm, the freezing-thawing effect was the primary cause of aggregate breakage, resulting in a reduction in MWD. When D < 0.25 mm, the primary phenomenon was aggregation, which resulted in an increase in MWD. When D < 1 mm, the formation of a physical crust on the constructed soil sample surface was facilitated.

风蚀被广泛认为是土壤退化的原因之一,而土壤退化又因冻结和解冻的影响而加剧,并对农业生产的可持续性构成严重威胁。从冻融过程对土壤团聚体的影响的角度来看,冻融对Mollisols地区风蚀的影响机制一直是研究的重点。相比之下,物理地壳在冻融效应对风蚀的作用机制中所起的作用仍不确定。为了揭示冻融循环(FTCs)、初始土壤水分(M)等环境条件对团聚体粒径分布、平均重径(MWD)、结皮形成及其性质的影响,以及这些变化对风蚀强度(W)的影响,采用风洞模拟实验测量了4个粒径范围(D)的可蚀性土壤团聚体的风蚀速率。研究了团聚体粒径分布的变化与地壳性质的关系,以及冻结和解冻对团聚体粒径分布的影响。研究结果表明,在冻融循环过程中,团聚体和结壳都容易受到破坏。在第一次冻融循环后,团聚体的MWD表现出显著的变化(p <;0.05)。冻融循环次数与地壳强度之间存在良好的指数相关性(R2 >;0.70)。随着冻融循环次数的增加,地壳强度明显下降。地壳强度变化趋势趋于平缓,地壳强度最小值分别为4.27 kPa (D0.5-1)、2.87 kPa (D0.25-0.5)和2.82 kPa (D <;0.25)超过6次冻融循环。初始含水率对骨料粒度的变化有显著影响,含水率越高,骨料破碎或团聚的变化百分比波动越大。土壤团聚体的解团聚率为12.68% ~ 20.64%,团聚体的再团聚率为0.84% ~ 10.78%。当土壤含水率大于等于12%时,构建的土样表面形成物理结皮,厚度约为1mm。当D≥0.25 mm时,冻融效应是骨料破碎的主要原因,导致MWD减小。当D <;0.25 mm时,主要现象为聚集,导致随钻距增大。当D <;1 mm时,有利于构建土样表面物理结皮的形成。团聚体的脱团聚使风蚀率平均分别提高12.31% (M4%)、12.21% (M8%)、37.15% (M12%)和43.47% (M16%)。相反,再聚集导致风蚀率平均降低20.60% (M4%)、24.22% (M8%)、44.21% (M12%)和34.46% (M16%)。脱团聚过程使团聚体粒径变小,导致相同风速下风蚀损失增大。再聚集过程呈现相反的趋势。结皮显著增强了土壤表面强度,显著降低了风蚀程度,结皮后土壤表面强度分别降低了0.96% (M4%)、14.98% (M8%)、79.15% (M12%)和107.23% (M16%)。虽然在不同的初始土壤水分水平下,构建的土壤样品会形成结皮,但在进行风蚀试验研究之前,所有样品都已自然风干至4%左右。因此,不同的样品湿度水平对阈值风速没有显著的影响。综上所述,我们构建了基于环境条件对风蚀速率影响的路径模型。结果表明,初始土壤水分和冻融效应通过中介团聚体变化、MWD、结皮强度和结皮厚度对风蚀产生间接影响。风蚀速率与表层土壤(2 cm)性质之间的关系显著。初始含水率和冻融效应对风蚀速率的贡献率分别为30.4%和49.2%。本研究阐明了Mollisols地区冻融条件下地壳和团聚体在风蚀影响中的作用,为寒区春季风蚀机理研究提供了科学的理论依据。

The mechanisms of freeze-thaw effects on wind erosion in the Mollisols region have been the subject of considerable investigation from the perspective of what the impact of freeze-thaw processes have on soil aggregates. In contrast, the role of the physical crust in the mechanism of freeze-thaw effects on wind erosion remains uncertain. In this study, for disentangling the changes in environmental conditions (freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs), initial soil moisture (M)) on aggregate size distribution, mean weight diameter (MWD), crust formation and their properties, and the roles played by these changes in influencing the magnitude of wind erosion (W), a wind tunnel simulation experiment was used to measure the wind erosion rate of erodible soil aggregates with four diameter ranges (D). The relationship between the variations in the distribution of aggregate sizes and the properties of the crust, as well as the impact of freezing and thawing on the distribution of aggregate sizes, were examined. The findings indicated that both aggregates and crust were susceptible to damage during the freeze-thaw cycle. The MWD of the aggregates exhibited a notable alteration following the 1st freeze-thaw cycle (p &lt; 0.05). There exists a good exponential correlation between the strength of the crust and the number of freeze-thaw cycles (R&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; &gt; 0.70). The crust strength demonstrated a decline significantly with an increase in the number of freeze-thaw cycles. The variation tendency of crust strength tended to be flat and towards a minimum crust strength of 4.27 kPa (D&lt;sub&gt;0.5–1&lt;/sub&gt;), 2.87 kPa (D&lt;sub&gt;0.25–0.5&lt;/sub&gt;), and 2.82 kPa (D &lt;sub&gt;&lt;&lt;/sub&gt; &lt;sub&gt;0.25&lt;/sub&gt;) beyond 6th freeze-thaw cycles. The initial moisture content had a significant impact on the variation in aggregate sizes, with higher moisture leading to greater fluctuations in the variation percentage of aggregates breaking or aggregating. The percentage of de-aggregation (disintegration of soil aggregates) varied from 12.68% to 20.64%, while the percentage of re-aggregation (recombination of soil aggregates) varied from 0.84% to 10.78%.

Conservation agriculture, with its reduced soil disturbance and enhanced cover, has the potential to increase carbon storage in the topsoil. However, it remains unclear how various tillage practices alter topsoil organic carbon (SOC) storage in the long-term affected by climate change. This study investigates the impacts of three tillage practices, Conventional Tillage (CT), Mulch Tillage (MT), and No-Till (NT) on future SOC stocks in the topsoil (0–15 cm), considering climate change scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) and local soil erosion effects. Therefore, we calibrated and applied the integrated terrestrial C-N-P cycle model (N14CP) to a long-term study site with a cereal-maize dominant crop rotation in Lower Austria. Our calibration (1994–1995) resulted in a RMSE of 45.3 g m−2 and a PBIAS of 9.6%, while validation (2000–2023) resulted in a RMSE of 103.8 g m−2 and a PBIAS of 3.9%. Long-term simulations indicate that topsoil SOC stocks tend to increase under MT by +309 g m−2 (baseline), +233 g m−2 (RCP4.5), and +148 g m−2 (RCP8.5), under NT by +1145 g m−2 (baseline), +1059 g m−2 (RCP4.5), and +961 g m−2 (RPC8.5), but SOC stocks may decrease under CT by −209 g m−2 (baseline), −267 g m−2 (RCP4.5), and −332 g m−2 (RCP8.5) by 2100. In contrast to conventional management, our tested conservation agriculture practices (MT and NT) may both serve as viable options to mitigate climate change and erosion impacts on topsoil organic carbon in comparable agro-ecological settings.
保护性农业减少了土壤干扰,增加了植被覆盖,具有增加表层土壤碳储量的潜力。然而,在气候变化的长期影响下,不同耕作方式如何改变表层土壤有机碳(SOC)储量仍不清楚。考虑气候变化情景(RCP4.5和RCP8.5)和局部土壤侵蚀效应,研究了常规耕作(CT)、覆盖耕作(MT)和免耕耕作(NT) 3种耕作方式对表层土壤(0-15 cm)未来有机碳储量的影响。因此,我们在下奥地利州一个以谷物-玉米为主要作物轮作的长期研究地点校准并应用了陆地碳氮磷综合循环模型(N14CP)。我们的校准(1994-1995)的RMSE为45.3 g m−2,PBIAS为9.6%,而验证(2000-2023)的RMSE为103.8 g m−2,PBIAS为3.9%。长期模拟表明,到2100年,土壤有机碳储量在旱作条件下增加+309 g m−2(基线)、+233 g m−2 (RCP4.5)和+148 g m−2 (RCP8.5),在旱作条件下增加+1145 g m−2(基线)、+1059 g m−2 (RCP4.5)和+961 g m−2 (RPC8.5),而在旱作条件下减少- 209 g m−2(基线)、- 267 g m−2 (RCP4.5)和- 332 g m−2 (RCP8.5)。与传统管理相比,我们经过测试的保护性农业实践(MT和NT)可以作为可行的选择,在可比的农业生态环境中减轻气候变化和侵蚀对表层土壤有机碳的影响。

Soil macropores are key factors affecting slope hydrological processes and stability, particularly under heavy rainfall conditions. Although wildfires can lead to the decay and death of plant roots, leaving root channels, few studies have examined temporal variation in the distribution of soil macropores or their impact on slope stability. To address this, we examined the bacterial abundance, root distribution, and macropore characteristics of burnt forest at one week and 6 and 12 months post-fire. Numerical simulation was used to analyze the effects of macropore distribution on slope stability under extreme rainfall conditions (80 mm/d × 4 d) at each time-point. Soil macropores accelerated the propagation of water pressure, potentially triggering shallow-slope instability. In the simulation, following 1 d of rainfall, slope stability was lower, by 3.55% and 8.68%, respectively, at 6 and 12 months than at one week post-fire. Following 4 d of rainfall, slope stability was better at 6 and 12 months than at one week post-fire, by 1.87% and 2.81%, respectively, owing to the drainage effect of the macropores. Even more importantly, this study proposed a method for coupling the spatial heterogeneity of soil macropores with a numerical model of slope stability. These findings help to elucidate the temporal changes in vegetated slope hydrology and stability after a wildfire and provide a reference for the numerical simulation of the stability of heterogeneous slopes.
土壤大孔隙是影响边坡水文过程和稳定性的关键因素,特别是在强降雨条件下。虽然野火会导致植物根系腐烂死亡,留下根系通道,但很少有研究考察土壤大孔隙分布的时间变化及其对边坡稳定性的影响。为了解决这个问题,我们在火灾后1周、6个月和12个月检测了烧毁森林的细菌丰度、根系分布和大孔特征。采用数值模拟方法分析了各时间点极端降雨条件下(80 mm/d × 4 d)大孔隙分布对边坡稳定性的影响。土壤大孔隙加速了水压力的传播,可能引发浅坡失稳。在模拟中,降雨1 d后,第6个月和第12个月的边坡稳定性分别比火灾后1周降低了3.55%和8.68%。降雨4 d后,由于大孔隙的排水作用,火灾后6个月和12个月的边坡稳定性分别比火灾后1周的稳定性好1.87%和2.81%。更重要的是,本研究提出了一种将土壤大孔隙空间异质性与边坡稳定性数值模型耦合的方法。这些发现有助于阐明森林火灾后植被坡面水文和稳定性的时间变化,为非均质坡面稳定性的数值模拟提供参考。

There is considerable knowledge regarding the environmental benefits of conservation agriculture (CA). However, long-term profitability data are limited, despite their potential to drive CA adoption. This study analyses and compares the economic indicators of conservation reduced tillage (CT) widely practiced in Central Europe with those of conventional ploughing tillage (PT). This research investigated the costs and incomes under CT and assessed the impact of CT on crop yields and profitability over a 20-year period (2004–2023). The study covered 83 ha in 10 paired plots (from year 13 onwards, 76 ha in 9 paired plots), including extreme weather conditions and 6 crops. All annual data were adjusted to 2024 price levels to maintain consistency. Piecewise linear regression was applied to the data, revealing four distinct temporal phases. On the basis of profit, periods ‘Transitional’ (years 1–3), ‘Adapted 1’ (years 4–10), ‘Steady’ (years 11–17) and ‘Adapted 2’ (years 18–20) were separated. During the transitional period, profit under CT decreased by an average of 11.9% compared with PT, but subsequent periods indicated positive results. Therefore, the shift from year 7 onwards resulted in a profit increase. Over 20 years, material costs for CT plots were 1.9% higher and operating costs were 9.8% lower compared with PT. In addition, gross income increased by 2.3%, leading to a 13.0% higher profit on CT compared with PT plots, which could encourage wider adoption of CT by farmers.
关于保护性农业(CA)的环境效益有相当多的知识。然而,长期盈利数据是有限的,尽管它们有可能推动CA的采用。本文对中欧地区广泛采用的保护性减量耕作(CT)与传统耕作(PT)的经济指标进行了分析比较。本研究调查了CT下的成本和收入,并评估了CT在20年期间(2004-2023年)对作物产量和盈利能力的影响。该研究覆盖了10个成对地块83公顷(从13年级开始,9个成对地块76公顷),包括极端天气条件和6种作物。所有年度数据均调整为2024年的价格水平,以保持一致性。将分段线性回归应用于数据,揭示了四个不同的时间阶段。在利润的基础上,“过渡期”(1 - 3年)、“适应期”(4-10年)、“稳定期”(11-17年)和“适应期2”(18-20年)被分开。在过渡期间,CT项下的利润与PT相比平均下降11.9%,但随后的时期均为积极的结果。因此,从第7年开始的转移导致利润增加。20年间,CT田的材料成本比PT高出1.9%,运营成本比PT低9.8%。此外,总收入增加2.3%,导致CT田的利润比PT田高13.0%,这可以鼓励农民更广泛地采用CT。

Vegetated landscape elements (vLEs) (e.g. hedges and grass buffers) are increasingly recognised for their ability to retain more water longer and mitigate downstream flood risk. To optimise positioning of these –typically small– vLEs, the impact of possible configurations needs quantifying, often requiring numerous hydrological model runs. To limit computational time, models must be run at lower spatial resolution leading to sub-pixel vLEs. The performance of a distributed rainfall-runoff model at 5 m resolution was assessed for 15 historical rainfall events in a 191 ha agricultural watershed in the Belgian loess belt. The model was then upscaled to 20 m resolution using four scaling approaches for saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) and Manning's coefficient, and three methods to set the hydro-physical parameters of subpixel vLEs in the upscaled model. The high-resolution model performed best for Ks equaling 0.72 mm h−1. The upscaled model performed best when applying a flow length-based scaling factor for the Manning's coefficient, decreasing the RMSE by 25% and 10% for discharge volume and peak discharge rate respectively. Adjusting Ks and Manning's coefficient of vLE pixels using upslope area-based weighting was most effective for discharge volume, achieving an RMSE of 10.80% and R2 of 0.64. Peak discharge rate could not be modelled accurately with sub-pixel vLEs at 20 m resolution. Our research can support scenario analysis in which accounting for the reduction of discharge volume caused by the presence of vLEs and their spatial configurations matters and therefore can support landscape design studies in the context of flood risk mitigation.
植被景观元素(例如树篱和草地缓冲)因其长时间保留更多水分和减轻下游洪水风险的能力而日益得到认可。为了优化这些典型的小vle的定位,可能配置的影响需要量化,通常需要大量的水文模型运行。为了限制计算时间,模型必须在较低的空间分辨率下运行,从而导致亚像素vle。对比利时黄土带191公顷农业流域15次历史降雨事件的5 m分辨率分布式降雨径流模型的性能进行了评估。然后使用4种饱和水力导率(Ks)和Manning系数的缩放方法,以及3种设置亚像素vLEs的水物理参数的方法,将模型升级到20 m分辨率。高分辨率模型在k = 0.72 mm h−1时表现最佳。当对曼宁系数采用基于流量长度的比例因子时,升级模型表现最佳,流量和峰值流量的RMSE分别降低了25%和10%。使用基于上坡面积的加权方法调整vLE像素的Ks和Manning系数对排水量最有效,RMSE为10.80%,R2为0.64。在20 m分辨率下,亚像素vLEs不能准确模拟峰值放电率。我们的研究可以支持情景分析,在情景分析中,考虑到vle的存在及其空间配置导致的排放量减少,因此可以支持减轻洪水风险背景下的景观设计研究。

Snowmelt erosion, a major spring soil degradation process in the Mollisol region of China, is further exacerbated in the context of global warming. The mechanism of snowmelt erosion remains unclear due to the complex erosion process influenced by multiple factors during the melting period. In this laboratory study we examined the effects of three critical factors influencing soil erosion during thawing period: snowmelt flow rates (0.33 × 10−4, 0.67 × 10−4, and 1.32 × 10−4 m2 s−1), subsurface hydrologic conditions (seepage and drainage), and soil thaw depths (5 and 10 cm). The results indicated that seepage significantly aggravated sediment yield, with sediment yield increasing by 50% in comparison to the drainage treatments. Sediment yield was positively correlated with snowmelt flow rate, and as the flow rate increased from 0.33 × 10−4 to 0.67 × 10−4 m2 s−1, the sediment yield increased by more than 4 times, due to the enhanced runoff energy and sediment transport capacity. Path analysis confirmed that snowmelt flow rate and subsurface hydrologic condition were the dominant factors for snowmelt erosion (explaining 0.917 and 0.308 of the path coefficients, respectively) while the effects of soil thaw depth were relatively low (explaining 0.032 of the path coefficients). However, soil thaw depth had a substantial impact on rill morphology evolution; rills tended to erode horizontally toward the sidewalls at shallow thaw depths, and evolved vertically downward at deeper thaw depths. Additionally, runoff energy consumption (ΔE) was a suitable indicator for characterizing soil erosion on partially thawed slopes with a high Coefficient of Determination (R2 > 0.70). In general, this study provides a scientific basis for a comprehensive understanding of snowmelt erosion dynamics, allowing development of more strategies for mitigating soil erosion in the spring and sustaining regional productivity in the Mollisol region of China.
融雪侵蚀是中国Mollisol地区春季土壤退化的主要过程,在全球变暖的背景下,融雪侵蚀进一步加剧。由于融雪期侵蚀过程复杂,受多种因素影响,融雪侵蚀机制尚不清楚。在本实验室研究中,我们考察了融化期间影响土壤侵蚀的三个关键因素:融雪流量(0.33 × 10−4、0.67 × 10−4和1.32 × 10−4 m2 s−1)、地下水文条件(渗漏和排水)和土壤融化深度(5和10 cm)。结果表明,渗流显著加重了产沙,产沙量比排水处理增加了50%。产沙量与融雪流量呈正相关,当流量从0.33 × 10−4 m2 s−1增加到0.67 × 10−4 m2 s−1时,由于径流能量和输沙能力的增强,产沙量增加了4倍以上。通径分析证实,融雪流量和地下水文条件是融雪侵蚀的主导因子(分别解释路径系数0.917和0.308),土壤融化深度的影响相对较小(解释路径系数0.032)。土壤解冻深度对细沟形态演化有显著影响;浅融化深度时,细沟向侧壁水平侵蚀,深融化深度时,细沟垂直向下侵蚀。此外,径流能量消耗(ΔE)是表征部分解冻斜坡土壤侵蚀的合适指标,具有较高的决定系数(R2 >;0.70)。总体而言,本研究为全面了解融雪侵蚀动态提供了科学依据,为中国Mollisol地区制定更多缓解春季土壤侵蚀和维持区域生产力的策略提供了依据。
