Distribution Characteristics of Soil Moisture and Mineral Nitrogen in Soil Profile of Apple Orchard in Gully Region of Loess Plateau
In the face of potential environmental problems caused by large-scale fertilization of apple orchards
a typical watershed in the gully region area of the Loess Plateau was used as the research area
apple orchards of different tree ages and geomorphic types were selected
and soil moisture changes and the distribution characteristics of nitrogen in the soil profile of orchards of different tree ages were analyzed
which provide a theoretical basis for scientific fertilization and the promotion of sustainable agricultural development. In the Wangdonggou watershed of Changwu County
Shaanxi
apple orchards with different planting years (14
18
23
28
and 32) and geomorphic types (table
ridge
and slope) were selected
4 cm diameter sampler were used to collect 0—400 cm soil samples from 15 orchard plots at a distance of 1m from each fruit tree
and 12 orchard plots with typical deep section soil samples of 0—600 cm soil were used determine soil moisture
nitrate and ammonium nitrogen content. The results showed that with the increase of orchard planting years
the soil water content and water storage capacity of 0—600 cm decreased significantly
especially at 300—600 cm.The water storage capacity of 14
23
and 32-year-old orchards was significantly different (P<0.05)
and the water storage performance was 14-year-old orchard>23-year-old orchard>32-year-old orchard. The content of ammonium nitrogen in soil mineral nitrogen was low
and basically had no effect on the distribution characteristics of mineral nitrogen. Nitrate nitrogen accounted for a high proportion of mineral nitrogen
and directly affected the distribution of mineral nitrogen in the soil. The nitrate nitrogen content of 0—600 cm among different ages of orchard varied greatly
and the accumulation of nitrate nitrogen in deep soil was common. The nitrate nitrogen accumulation in 18
23
and 32-year-old sloping orchards 0—200 cm soil accounted for 50%
41%
and 38% of the 0—400 cm total accumulation amount
showing that the accumulation of soil nitrate nitrogen gradually deepened with the growth of the orchard tree age. The accumulation of nitrate nitrogen in soil increased with the age of the orchard trees. The accumulation of nitrate nitrogen in soil was 32 years old>23 years old>18 years old in the slope land orchards
28 years old>23 years old in ridge land orchards
and 23 years old>18 years old>14 years old in table orchards. The deep desiccation of orchard soil and accumulation of nitrate nitrogen in the gully area of the Loess Plateau were obvious
and became more serious with the increase of the orchard age.
