Characteristics of Nitrate Nitrogen Transport of Purple Sloped Soils in Response to Single and Intermittent Rainfalls
To investigate characteristics of nitrate nitrogen transport in purple sloped soils at different periods under different rainfall events
laboratory soil tanks and simulated rainfall installation were equipped to set each single and total 12 intermittent rainfalls
and nitrate transport characteristics during short and long time periods were discussed respectively. In each soil tank
eight observed points were designed uniformly along the soil profile. The results showed that the soil water and nitrate nitrogen of purple sloped soils transported evenly from the upper 15 cm depth soil layer to the foot slope of lower 35 cm depth soil layer. However
nitrate concentrations of observed points declined rapidly from initial 345.7 mg/L to 99.7 mg/L during the first 6 rainfall events of 12 intermittent rainfalls; mean nitrate concentrations decreased from 69.7 mg/L to 52.0 mg/L during the 7th to 9th rainfall event
and tended to stable. As rainfall occurred
nitrate nitrogen transported towards the lower and foot of sloped soils
and the top of slope showed minimal transport. In addition
the nitrate concentration of subsurface outflow was about 1/3 of that of subsurface soil water. Overall
subsurface nitrate loss showed rapid decrease after 3 rainfall events. This research provided better understanding for nitrate transport and loss mechanism of purple sloped farmland as response to intermittent rainfall events
