摘要:

以内蒙古阿拉善盟荒漠草地为研究对象,分析了不同放牧强度对土壤理化性质、团聚体组成、养分含量及其稳定性的影响。结果表明:与轻度放牧相比,重度放牧使0~5 cm、5~10 cm和10~20 cm土层土壤有机C和全N含量显著降低,土壤容重显著增加;各土层中土壤团聚体以0.053~0.25 mm粒径为主,放牧强度的增加造成土壤团聚体平均重量直径(MWD)和几何平均直径(GMD)值降低,分形维数(D)值升高,土壤团聚体结构遭受破坏,稳定性降低,导致土壤团聚体由大粒径团聚体(0.25~2 mm)向小粒径团聚体(0.053~0.25 mm、<0.053 mm)转变;重度放牧使土壤团聚体的C/N值升高,造成有效养分难以释放,植物所需养分亏缺。说明重度放牧是造成阿拉善盟荒漠草地退化的重要因素。

Abstract:

We studied the effects of different grazing intensities upon soil physical-chemical properties, aggregates composition and stability, nutrients, and the C/N ratio in the Alxa desert steppe. We observed that heavy grazing decreased soil’s organic carbon and total nitrogen contents in the 0-5 cm, 5-10 cm, and 10-20 cm layers while increased soil’s bulk density compared to light grazing. In all layers, 0.053-0.250 mm aggregates were dominant. Both mean weight diameter and geometric mean diameter of soil aggregates decreased, whereas soil fractal dimension increased, indicating damages to the soil aggregates’ structure and stability decrease. Heavy grazing decreased larger soil aggregates (0.25-2.00 mm) to smaller ones (0.053-0.250 mm and <0.053 mm) and increased the C/N ratio of soil aggregates, limiting the release of available nutrients and causing nutrients deficiency. We conclude that heavy grazing is a vital degradation factor for the Alxa desert steppe’s soils.

Key words: grazing intensity, soil aggregate, stability, soil nutrients
