Effects of Tillage Methods on Wind Erosion in Farmland of Northeastern China
Wind erosion is a serious problem in agricultural regions of Northeastern China
where a north continental monsoon climate is prevalent and land is prepared for seeding using conventional cultivation ways such as ridge tillage or no tillage method. Affected by wind erosion
many studies reported the effect of tillage methods and coverage types on soil wind erosion
and pointed out that soil fine particles and nutrients (i.e.
nitrogen and phosphorus) of top soil lose seriously by wind erosion
which have negative impacts on agricultural production and environment. Generally
wind erosion was affected by wind speed
soil water content
soil texture
and even the land cover types (like standing residues and flat residues) after harvest during wind season. Moreover
conservation tillage like no tillage or residue cover
could reduce soil wind erosion effectively on farmland. However
differences between black soil and aeolian sandy soil with different tillage and cover methods
especially in soil particles distribution and nutrient contents of wind erosion sediments
were unknown. Field experiments were conducted with ridge tillage and no tillage on farmland of three typical cover methods (no residue cover
remain standing residues and flat residues) on black soil and aeolian sandy soil in Northeastern China from April to June in 2016 and 2017. The soil particle distribution
organic matter
total nitrogen and phosphorus of wind erosion sediments were measured. Our results showed that the amount of wind erosion significantly decreased with increasing height; it was the highest at 0-10 cm and accounted for more than 50%
while it was closed to zero above 40 cm. The sediments from black soil were significantly lower than that from sandy soil. Furthermore
the amount of wind erosion of aeolian sandy soil was 168 folds than that in black soil at 0-100 cm in the same farming methods. In terms of tillage methods
the amount of sediments of no tillage were reduced by 66.0% to 94.1% as compared with ridge tillage
which indicated that no tillage could greatly decrease wind erosion. Apart from tillage types
flat residues can also reduce wind erosion obviously. Compared with no flat residues
the amount of sediment was reduced more than 90.3% by remain standing residues and flat residues during the spring. Affected by the wind erosion
the organic matter content of sediments was increased by 73.3%~85.8%
and even the soil particle distribution and nutrients of sediments lose seriously. The results of model analysis with RWEQ were verified by the results of our experiments
and the wind erosion modulus of RTNF (ridge tillage with no flat residues) was 181.7 to 86 582.9 t/(km2·a)
however it was only 9.89 t/(km2·a) in NTF treatment (no tillage with flat residues). Our experiments indicated that remained stubble and residue cover management were effective ways to prevent soil wind erosion
while the ridge tillage and no residues can result in severe erosion and nutrients. It is
therefore
essential to pay high attention to the ridge tillage and no cover cultivate methods and adjust tillage and cover methods in Northeastern China.
