Many empirical approaches have been developed to analyze changes in hydraulic conductivity due to concentration and composition of equilibrium solution. However, in swelling soils these approaches fail to perform satisfactorily, mainly due to the complex nature of clay minerals and soil–water interactions. The present study describes the changes in hydraulic conductivity of clay (Typic Haplustert) and clay‐loam (Vertic Haplustept) soils with change in electrolyte concentration (TEC) and sodium‐adsorption ratio (SAR) of equilibrium solution and assesses the suitability of a model developed by Russo and Bresler (1977) to describe the effects of mixed Na‐Ca‐Mg solutions on hydraulic conductivity. Four solutions encompassing two TEC levels viz., 5 and 50 mmolc L–1 and two SAR levels viz., 2.5 and 30 mmol1/2 L–1/2 were synthesized to equilibrate the soil samples using pure chloride salts of Ca, Mg, and Na at Ca : Mg = 2:1. Diluting 50 mmolc L–1 solution to 5 mmolc L–1 reduced saturated hydraulic conductivity of both soils by 66%, and increasing SAR from 2.5 to 30 mmol1/2 L–1/2 decreased saturated hydraulic conductivity by 82% and 79% in clay and clay‐loam soils, respectively. Near saturation, the magnitude of the change in unsaturated hydraulic conductivity due to the change in TEC and SAR was of 103‐ and 102‐fold, and at volumetric water content of 0.20 cm3 cm–3, it was of 1014‐ and 106‐fold in clay and clay‐loam soils, respectively. Differences between experimental and predicted values of saturated hydraulic conductivity ranged between 0.6% and 11% in clay and between 0.06% and 2.1% in clay‐loam soils. Difference between experimental and predicted values of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity widened with drying in both soils. Predicted values were in good agreement with the experimental values of hydraulic conductivity in clay and clay‐loam soils with R2 values of 0.98 and 0.94, respectively. The model can be satisfactorily used to describe salt effects on hydraulic conductivity of swelling soils in arid and semiarid areas, where groundwater quality is poor.  相似文献

Inceptisols and Vertisols are two dominant soil orders that support major agricultural production in India. These soils often exist in semi-arid and arid regions. Low precipitation and high evaporation demand leads to salt accumulation in these areas. The problem of salt accumulation is further compounded by the presence of saline/alkaline groundwaters. We evaluated the effect of modified Ca/Mg waters on ionic composition, dispersion, and clay flocculation of sodic Inceptisols, saline-sodic Inceptisols, and normal Vertisols from different parts of India. A completely randomized factorial design with three replications of individual soils were sequentially leached with five pore volumes of deionized, saline water of 60 and 120 me L?1 total electrolyte concentration (TEC) at a fixed SAR of 5.0 mmol1/2 L?1/2 and Ca:Mg ratio of 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2. Application of saline waters decreased pH and increased EC of the soil leachates after leaching five pore volumes of three Ca/Mg ratios of 60 and 120 me L?1 solutions in sodic Inceptisols and normal Vertisols. In saline-sodic Inceptisols, application of saline waters decreased both pH and electrical conductivity (EC) of the soil leachates. Preferential Ca2+ holding in soil was only noticed in sodic Inceptisols when leaching process was performed with independent saline waters, but Mg2+ has a tendency to hold in soil upon application of independent saline waters for all soils except sodic Inceptisols. Periodic application of deionized water could increase soil dispersion and decreased flocculation of clay particles. Mg2+ ion had less flocculating vis-à-vis high-dispersion effect on soil clays than the Ca2+ ion.  相似文献

Soils with and without organic manuring from 10 long-term manurial experiments in East Germany were fractionated into organo-mineral particle-size separates by ultrasonic disaggregation and sedimentation/decantation. The cation exchange capacities (CECs) buffered at pH 8.1 were determined for the size fractions fine+medium clay, coarse clay, fine, medium and coarse silt, sand, and for the total soil samples. In the samples from nine field experiments the CECs decreased with increased equivalent diameters (fine+medium clay: 489–8 13 mmolc kg?1, coarse clay: 367–749 mmolc kg?1, fine silt: 202–587 mmolc kg?1. medium silt: 63–345 mmolc kg?1, coarse silt: 12–128 mmolc kg?1 and sand: 10–156 mmolc kg?1. The CECs varied with genetic soil type, mineralogical composition of the <6.3-μm particles, and the C and N contents of the size fractions. In a pot experiment examining the role of various organic materials in the early stages of soil formation, the clay-size fractions had the largest CECs (85–392 mmolc kg?1), followed by the medium-silt (1 9-222 mmolc kg?1) and fine-silt fractions (23–192 mmolc kg?1). The effect of organic amendments on CEC was in general: compost>fresh farmyard manure = straw + mineral fertilizer = mineral fertilizer.  相似文献

Soil tillage along with the application of organic waste probably affects the concentrations of organic carbon and the enrichment of introduced polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). In a three‐year experiment the PCB status of soils from three different field sites (silty clay loam, silt loam, sandy loam) which were long‐term differently tilled (NT = no‐tillage, CT = conventional plough tillage) and amended with two different organic wastes such as sewage sludge and compost (biosolids) was examined. No significant alteration in soil‐PCB quality and quantity with biosolid application could be proven within the course of the experiments. This indicates soil‐air exchange of PCBs dominates their concentrations in soil. Organic carbon in soil was significantly tillage‐dependent and determined the fate of PCBs resulting in a generally elevated PCB‐level in the non tilled soils. Linear regression of PCB load and organic matter content of all investigated untreated soils was highly significant (R2 = 0.73). Due to already elevated PCB levels in non tilled soils with a maximum of 65 μg kg—1 in the superficial layer of the silt loam control plot, any additional potential input, i. e. through the amendment with organic wastes, should therefore be avoided.  相似文献

The influence of the soil mineral phase on organic matter storage was studied in loess derived surface soils of Central Germany. The seven soils were developed to different genetic stages. The carbon content of the bulk soils ranged from 8.7 to 19.7 g kg—1. Clay mineralogy was confirmed to be constant, with illite contents > 80 %. Both, specific surface area (SSA, BET‐N2‐method) and cation exchange capacity (CEC) of bulk soils after carbon removal were better predictors of carbon content than clay content or dithionite‐extractable iron. SSA explained 55 % and CEC 54 % of the variation in carbon content. The carbon loadings of the soils were between 0.57 and 1.06 mg C m—2, and therefore in the ”︁monolayer equivalent” (ME) level. The increase in SSA after carbon removal (ΔSSA) was significantly and positively related to carbon content (r2 = 0.77). Together with CEC of carbon‐free samples, ΔSSA explained 90 % of the variation in carbon content. Clay (< 2 μm) and fine silt fractions (2—6.3 μm) contained 68—82 % of the bulk soil organic carbon. A significantly positive relationship between carbon content in the clay fraction and in the bulk soil was observed (r2 = 0.95). The carbon pools of the clay and fine silt fractions were characterized by differences in C/N ratio, δ13C ratio, and enrichment factors for carbon and nitrogen. Organic matter in clay fractions seems to be more altered by microbes than organic matter in fine silt fractions. The results imply that organic matter accumulates in the fractions of smallest size and highest surface area, apparently intimately associated with the mineral phase. The amount of cations adhering to the mineral surface and the size of a certain and specific part of the surface area (ΔSSA) are the mineral phase properties which affect the content of the organic carbon in loess derived arable surface soils in Central Germany most. There is no monolayer of organic matter on the soil surfaces even if carbon loadings are in the ME level.  相似文献

Soil degradation affects soil properties such as structure, water retention, porosity, electrical conductivity (EC), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and soil flora and fauna. This study was conducted to evaluate the response of contrasting textured soils irrigated with water having different EC:SAR ratios along with amendments: gypsum (G), farm manure (FM), and mulch (M). Water of different qualities viz. EC 0.6 + SAR 6, EC 1.0 + SAR 12, EC 2.0 + SAR 18, and EC 4.0 + SAR 30 was used in different textured soils with G at 100% soil gypsum requirement, FM at 10 Mg ha?1, and M as wheat straw was added on surface soil at 10 Mg ha?1. Results revealed that the applied amendments in soils significantly decreased pHs and electrical conductivity (ECe) of saturated paste and SAR. Four pore volumes of applied water with leaching fraction 0.75, 0.77, and 0.78 removed salts 3008, 4965, and 5048 kg ha?1 in loamy sand, silty clay loam, and sandy clay loam soils, respectively. First four irrigations with LF of 0.82, 0.79, 0.75, and 0.71, removed 5682, 5000, 3967, and 2941 kg ha?1 salts, respectively. The decreasing order for salt removal with amendments was FM > G > M > C with LF = 0.85, 0.84, 0.71, and 0.68, respectively. This study highlights a potential role of soil textures to initiate any mega program for reclamation of saline-sodic soils in the perspective of national development strategies.  相似文献

Preferential flow in soil can enhance the leaching of agricultural chemicals. In a number of studies it has been shown that the mobile‐immobile solute transport model (MIM) is a useful tool to characterize preferential flow. In the present study, a new laboratory method for determining the MIM parameters θm and θim (mobile and immobile water content), as well as α (mass transfer coefficient), is developed. The computations are uncomplicated and the method requires only simple equipment. It is applied to short, undisturbed soil columns. Measured values ranged from 0.11 to 0.27 for θim θ—1 and from 0.015 h—1 to 0.034 h—1 for α for an Iowan soil (Nicollet silt loam). For two sandy Eutric Gleysols from Germany, low values for θim θ—1 from 0.04 to 0.07 and from 0.001 h—1 to 0.008 h—1 for α were determined. Although the new method is a flow‐interruption technique, values for the Nicollet silt loam compare well with those from conventional leaching experiments. Values for the Eutric Gleysols agree with the observation that these soils were poorly structured. Because the new method does not assume negligible dispersion, it is applicable to a wider range of soils and boundary conditions than comparable approaches. We conclude that the new method provides parameter values that are suited to describe non‐equilibrium solute transport.  相似文献

Soil erosion by water causes substantial on‐site degradation and off‐site damages in the densely populated state of North Rhine‐Westphalia (Germany). Measures of soil conservation should be adjusted to soil erodibilities and should be based on an understanding of the processes involved in water erosion including aggregate breakdown, rainsplash erosion, surface sealing, and soil loss. For a state‐wide assessment of erosion processes and erodibilities, we tested representative cultivated soils of North Rhine‐Westphalia in laboratory and field experiments with artificial rain. In the laboratory experiments described in this paper, rainsplash erosion, sealing susceptibility, and interrill erodibility of 25 topsoils filled in 0.5 m2 boxes were investigated. Results of different aggregate‐stability tests correlate with organic‐matter contents but not with parameters of rainsplash or soil loss. On most soil materials, rainsplash increases or maintains constant rates in the course of the simulation runs indicating that the soil surface did not attain a higher shear resistance. High sealing susceptibilities are found for soils of quite different textures ranging from loam sand to silt clay, whereas other silt clays, clay loams, and some clay silts maintain high infiltration rates. A trend of increasing sealing susceptibility and total soil loss with increasing clay content is observed for the loam sands to sand loams. Dynamics of soil loss is largely governed by runoff rates. Total soil loss is also determined by sediment concentration in surface runoff, which is low on most clayey soils, on loam sands poor in clay, and on a sand loam, and high in the case of highly erodible clay silts, loam sands, and sand loams. The most crust prone soils are not necessarily the most erodible. On most soils, soil‐loss rates do not stabilize until the end of the rainfall experiments. For comparing the interrill erodibilities of the soils, total soil loss is preferred instead of interrill erodibility factors (Ki, Kiq) published in the literature.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to develop a Linear Regression Model for the prediction of soil bulk density based on organic matter content (OM) and textural fractions (% sand, silt and clay) as well as the soil exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) based on soil sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) in some salt affected soils of Sahl El-Hossinia, El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. For this purpose, 160 samples were randomly taken from top of the surface soil (0–30 cm) from different locations and samples were subjected to various analyzes. XLSTAT Version 2016.02.27444 software was used to build and test conceptual and empirical models. The statistical results of the study indicated that to predict soil bulk density (BD) based on organic matter content and textural fractions the Multiple linear regression model BD = 1.817–0.730 × OM – 0.002 × Clay – 0.001 × Silt with R2 = 0.794. On the other hand, to predict soil ESP based on SAR the linear regression model ESP = 5.577 + 0.851 × SAR with R2 = 0.773. A Linear Regression Model for prediction of BD and ESP of Sahl El-Hossinia, El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, can be used with high prediction.  相似文献

Abstract

Although there is generally no physical problem with salt‐affected soils when irrigated with saline and sodic waters, physical deterioration of the soils often results when leached with good quality (low salt and low sodium) irrigation water or by rain. Two major mechanisms of swelling and dispersion of clay particles have been proposed to be responsible for reduction in hydraulic conductivity (HC). The type and amount of clay minerals are major factors influencing the swelling and dispersion properties of soil in the presence of saline‐sodic solutions. The study was initiated to improve the understanding of swelling and dispersion processes in response to saline‐sodic conditions, particularly the role of the type and amount of clay minerals of the tested soils and the concentration of the leaching solutions. The study was conducted in a series of two leaching experiments. In the first experimental soil samples were leached with solutions of different combinations of 100 meq (NaCl+CaCl2)L‐1 and sodium adsorption ratio (SARs) 5, 10, 15, and 20. In the second, 8 samples of them selected to be leached with solutions of the same SARs of 5, 10, 15, and 20, but the higher concentration of 1000 meq (NaCl+CaCl2)L‐1. The changes in the HCs were determined through the concept of “the Sensitivity Index‐SI values”;. In general, solutions with lower concentrations and higher SAR resulted in greater reductions in the soil HC (i.e, SI value), and the SI values and SAR level showed a negative linear relationship. With respect to the regression equations between the SI values and the swelling/dispersion processes, and the relatively coarse texture as well as the mineralogical composition of the tested soils which shows the dominant clay minerals in almost all tested soils is non‐expanding dispersive quartz, illite and chlorite, it may be concluded that the slaking of the soil structure is responsible for blockage of the conducting pores and reduction in the HCs of the tested soils.  相似文献

Sodium (Na+) dominated soils reduce saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) by clay dispersion and plugging pores, while gypsum (CaSO4•2H2O) application counters these properties. However, variable retrieval of texturally different saline–sodic soils with gypsum at soil gypsum requirement (SGR) devised to define its quantity best suited to improve Ks, leach Na+ and salts. This study comprised loamy‐sand (LS), sandy loam (SL), and clay loam (CL) soils with electrical conductivity of saturation extract (ECe) of ~8 dS m−1, sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of ~44 (mmol L−1)1/2 and exchangeable sodium of ~41%, receiving no gypsum (G0), gypsum at 25% (G25), 50% (G50) and 75% (G75) of SGR. Soils packed in lysimeters were leached with low‐carbonate water [EC at 0·39 dS m−1, SAR at 0·56 (mmol L−1)1/2 and residual sodium carbonate at 0·15 mmolc L−1]. It proved that a rise in gypsum rate amplified Ks of LS ≫ SL > CL. However, Ks of LS soil at G25 and others at G75 remained efficient for salts and Na+ removal. Retention of calcium with magnesium (Ca2+ + Mg2+) by LS and SL soils increased by G50 and decreased in G75, while in CL, it also increased with G75. The enhanced Na+ leaching efficiency in LS soil with G25 was envisaged by water stay for sufficient time to dissolve gypsum and exchange and leach out Na+. Overall, the superiority of gypsum for LS at G25, SL at G50 and CL at G75 predicted cost‐effective soil reclamation with a decrease in ECe and SAR below 0·97 dS m−1 and 5·92 (mmol L−1)1/2, respectively.

The effects of time and temperature on the release kinetics of water‐dispersible colloids (WDCs) from three German silt loam topsoils in deionized water were investigated in batch experiments under low‐energy rotating shaking conditions. The measured critical coagulation concentrations of Ca2+ and Na+ for extracted WDC were much larger than the experimental ionic conditions. This indicates a fast dispersion rate in the first detachment step of WDC mobilization from soil aggregates. The cumulative released WDC fraction F(t) (released WDC/clay content in bulk soil) was satisfactorily fitted to the square root of shaking time by a linear function in three soils with a similar clay content. This implies diffusion‐controlled release kinetics in the second step of the WDC mobilization process. The mobilization kinetics were modelled by considering a diffusion‐controlled transport through an immobile water layer in the macropores of soil aggregates formed by silt and sand particles. The effects of temperature on the mobilization kinetics and sedimentation volumes of saturated soils were compared at 7, 23 and 35°C. A linear correlation was found between immobile water layer thickness in soil macropores (lt) and the water volume (Vwater) in soil sediment, which indicates a strong dependence of lt on the soil texture. Temperature‐sensitive lt and Vwater influenced the effect of temperature on WDC release, which counteracts the estimated effect of temperature on particle diffusion according to the Stokes‐Einstein relation. A larger decrease in F(t) was found in grassland and forest soils than in an arable soil and can be related to greater stagnant water contents (larger lt and Vwater) in soil macropores, where particulate organic matter and polyvalent cations in their oxide forms at acidic pH will thus contribute to water immobilization.  相似文献

The individual effects of salinity and sodicity on organic matter dynamics are well known but less is known about their interactive effects. We conducted a laboratory incubation experiment to assess soil respiration and dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics in response to salinity and sodicity in two soils of different texture. Two non-saline non-sodic soils (a sand and a sandy clay loam) were leached 3–4 times with solutions containing different concentrations of NaCl and CaCl2 to reach almost identical electrical conductivity (EC1:5) in both soils (EC1:5 0.5, 1.3, 2.5 and 4.0 dS m?1 in the sand and EC1:5 0.7, 1.4, 2.5 and 4.0 dS m?1 in the sandy clay loam) combined with two sodium absorption ratios: SAR < 3 and 20. Finely ground wheat straw residue was added (20 g kg?1) as substrate to stimulate microbial activity. Cumulative respiration was more strongly affected by EC than by SAR. It decreased by 8% at EC 1.3 and by 60% at EC 4.0 in the sand, whereas EC had no effect on respiration in the sandy clay loam. The apparent differential sensitivity to EC in the two soils can be explained by their different water content and therefore, different osmotic potential at the same EC. At almost similar osmotic potential: ?2.92 MPa in sand (at EC 1.3) and ?2.76 MPa in the sandy clay loam (at EC 4.0) the relative decrease in respiration was similar (8–9%). Sodicity had little effect on cumulative respiration in the soils, but DOC, DON and specific ultra-violet absorbance (SUVA) were significantly higher at SAR 20 than at SAR < 3 in combination with low EC in both soils (EC 0.5 in the sand and EC 0.7 and 1.4 in the sandy clay loam). Therefore, high SAR in combination with low EC is likely to increase the risk of DOC and DON leaching in the salt-affected soils, which may lead to further soil degradation.  相似文献

Extensive use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture can induce high concentration of ammonium nitrogen(NH4+-N) in soil. Desorption and leaching of NH4+-N has led to pollution of natural waters. The adsorption of NH4+-N in soil plays an important role in the fate of the NH4+-N. Understanding the adsorption characteristics of NH4+-N is necessary to ascertain and predict its fate in the soil-water environment, and pedotransfer functions(PTFs) could be a convenient method for quantification of the adsorption parameters. Ammonium nitrogen adsorption capacity, isotherms, and their influencing factors were investigated for various soils in an irrigation district of the North China Plain. Fourteen agricultural soils with three types of texture(silt, silty loam, and sandy loam) were collected from topsoil to perform batch experiments. Silt and silty loam soils had higher NH4+-N adsorption capacity than sandy loam soils.Clay and silt contents significantly affected the adsorption capacity of NH4+-N in the different soils. The adsorption isotherms of NH4+-N in the 14 soils fit well using the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin models. The models’ adsorption parameters were significantly related to soil properties including clay,silt, and organic carbon contents and Fe2+ and Fe3+ ion concentrations in the groundwater. The PTFs that relate soil and groundwater properties to soil NH4+-N adsorption isotherms were derived using multiple regressions where the coefficients were predicted using the Bayesian method. The PTFs of the three adsorption isotherm models were successfully verified and could be useful tools to help predict NH4+-N adsorption at a regional scale in irrigation districts.  相似文献

The effects of wheat, potato, sunflower, and rape residues and calcite were evaluated in soil that received sodic water. These materials were added to a sandy‐loam soil at a rate of 5%, after which the treated soils were incubated for 1 month at field‐capacity moisture and a temperature of 25°C–30°C. Column leaching experiments using treated soils were then conducted under saturated conditions using water with three sodium‐adsorption ratios (SAR) (0, 10, 40) with a constant ionic strength (50 mmol L–1). The results indicated that the application of plant residues to soils caused an increase in cation‐exchange capacity and exchangeable cations. Leaching experiments indicated that the addition of plant amendments led to increased Na+ leaching and decrease in exchangeable‐sodium percentage (ESP). The ESP of the control soil, after leaching with solutions with an SAR of 10 and 40, increased significantly, but the level of sodification in soils treated with plant residue was lower. Such decreases of soil ESP were greatly affected by the type of plant residues, with the order of: potato‐treated soil > sunflower‐treated soil > rape‐treated soil > wheat‐treated soil > calcite‐treated soil > control soil.  相似文献

A cation exchange equation based on diffuse double layer (DDL) theory was tested on 26 surface and sub-surface soils from 6 field experiments in temperate and semi-arid tropical regions. Sodification (the fraction of total charge on the surface neutralised by the excess of Na+ plus the deficit of Cl?), or the exchangeable Na percentage, ESP, of these soils in relation to SAR, the molar ratio (Na]/[Ca + Mg] 1/2, was evaluated from the observed data on Na:Ca exchange in two ways, using the DDL equation: (1) by multiplying the surface charge density of the soil with a mean correction factor f (based on the whole isotherm) assuming no interaction between adjacent clay platelets; this predicted the sodification of the soils satisfactorily between 0–30 ESP, though at the highest SAR values (i.e. > 60), predicted ESP values were significantly smaller than the experimental values for 23 of the 26 soils; (2) by assigning values to the extent of interaction Yd (directly related to the electric potential Ψd midway between adjacent clay platelets) over the whole isotherm; Yd was found to increase by varying degrees in different soils with SAR and ESP. Also in 12 of the 15 pairs of soils compared, the mean value, d, over the whole Ca-Na exchange isotherm was appreciably larger for surface soils (which had higher surface charge densities) than for the subsoils from the same sites. The suggestion that the Yd parameter provides a better criterion than the f parameter for characterising and comparing Na:Ca exchange equilibria in contrasting soils is discussed in relation to the effects of soil components.  相似文献

In the densely populated state of North Rhine‐Westphalia, soil erosion by water causes substantial on‐site degradation and off‐site damages. The implementation of soil‐conservation measures is improved, if soil erodibilities and erosion processes are known. In a state‐wide investigation, we aimed to representatively assess soil‐erosion processes and erodibilities of cultivated soils. For this purpose, we measured surface runoff and soil‐loss rates of 28 cultivated soils with field plots under artificial rain. In the field experiments, surface runoff and soil loss indicated high sealing susceptibilities and high erodibilities on soils of quite different textures including a clay silt, a loam silt, a loam sand, a sand loam, and two standard loams. Rill formation causing high soil‐loss rates was observed on a clay silt (soil BM) and on a loam silt (soil RB), the latter yielding an empirical K‐factor of 1.66 t ha–1 h N–1. K‐factors of other silty soils ranged from 0.04 to 0.48, whereas sandy soils and clayey soils had K‐factors ranging from 0.00 to 0.32, and 0.00 to 0.12, respectively. Comparatively high erodibilities of two silt clays were due to saturation overland flow. Erosion processes and erodibilities of soils with similar texture varied to a large extent, possibly caused in part by seasonal differences in the timing of erosion tests. Surface runoff was different in field experiments compared with laboratory experiments (companion paper) conducted with topsoil material taken from the field plots. In addition, higher concentrations of suspended sediment were recorded on average in the field than in the laboratory. These differences might reflect the influence of the subsoil and are due to higher transport capacities on longer plots in the field. Thus, laboratory experiments can complement but not replace costly field trials for K‐factor determination. Empirical K‐factors derived from field and laboratory experiments are in general lower than K‐factors of other soils in Germany or calculated K‐factors derived from pedotransfer functions, which might be attributed to a more maritime‐type climate in North Rhine‐Westphalia. Since the temporal variability of erodibility was not assessed, the reported K‐factors should be regarded as preliminary.  相似文献

Abstract

Sodic water and spring water percolated through clay, clay loam, and sandy loam (SL) soils with exchangeable sodium percentages (ESPs) of 0, 10, 30, and 50. Reduction in saturated hydraulic conductivity and water stable aggregates recorded at higher ESPs. At ESP ≈30, application of sodic and spring water to clay soil (C) reduced saturated hydraulic conductivity from 1.2 to 3 mm hr?1, whereas in SL soil, the values were 2.8 and 6.2 mm hr?1, respectively. Results indicated that at any ESP and water source, the highest free swelling obtained was in the C soil. This study has practical importance to the management of irrigation water quality with respect to soil deterioration.  相似文献

Water dispersible clay (WDC) can influence soil erosion by water. Therefore, in highly erodible soils such as the ones in eastern Nigeria, there is a need to monitor the clay dispersion characteristics to direct and modify soil conservation strategies. Twenty‐five soil samples (0–20 cm in depth) varying in texture, chemical properties and mineralogy were collected from various locations in central eastern Nigeria. The objective was to determine the WDC of the soils and relate this to selected soil physical and chemical attributes. The soils were analysed for their total clay (TC), water‐dispersible clay (WDC), clay dispersion ratio (CDR), dispersion ratio (DR), dithionite extractable iron (Fed), soil organic matter (SOM), exchangeable cations, exhangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR). Total clay contents of the soil varied from 80–560 g kg−1. The USLE erodibility K ranges from 0·02 to 0·1 Mg h MJ−1 mm and WEPP K fall between 1·2 × 10−6–1·7 × 10−6 kg s m−4. The RUSLE erodibility K correlated significantly with CDR and DR (r = 0·44; 0·39). Also, a positive significant correlation (r = 0·71) existed between WEPP K and RUSLE K. Soils with high clay dispersion ratio (CDR) are highly erodibile and positively correlates (p < 0·51) with Fed, CEC and SOM. Also, DR positively correlates with Mg2+ and SOM and negatively correlate with ESP and SAR. Principal component analysis showed that SAR, Na+ and percent base saturation play significant role in the clay dispersion of these soils. The implication of this result is that these elements may pose potential problem to these soils if not properly managed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Salt-affected soils are widespread, particularly in arid climates, but information on nutrient dynamics and carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux from salt-affected soils is scarce. Four laboratory incubation experiments were conducted with three soils. To determine the influence of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) on respiration in saline and non-saline soils, a loamy sand (6.3% clay) was left unamended or amended with NaCl to obtain an electrical conductivity (EC) of 1.0 dS?m?1 in a 1:5 soil/water extract. Powdered CaCO3 at rates of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% (w/w) and 0.25-2 mm mature wheat residue at 0% and 2% (w/w) were then added. Cumulative CO2-C emission from the salt amended and unamended soils was not affected by CaCO3 addition. To investigate the effect of EC on microbial activity, soil respiration was measured after amending a sandy loam (18.8% clay) and a silt loam (22.5% clay) with varying amount of NaCl to obtain an EC1:5 of 1.0–8.0 dS?m?1 and 2.5 g glucose C?kg?1 soil. Soil respiration was reduced by more than 50% at EC1:5?≥?5.0 dS?m?1. In a further experiment, salinity up to an EC1:5 of 5.0 dS?m?1 was developed in the silt loam with NaCl or CaCl2. No differences in respiration at a given EC were obtained between the two salts, indicating that Na and Ca did not differ in toxicity to microbial activity. The effect of different addition rates (0.25–2.0%) of mature wheat residue on the response of respiration to salinity was investigated by adding NaCl to the silt loam to obtain an EC1:5 of 2.0 and 4.0 dS?m?1. The clearest difference between salinity levels was with 2% residue rate. At a given salinity level, the modelled decomposition constant ‘k’ increased with increasing residue addition rate up to 1% and then remained constant. Particulate organic carbon left after decomposition from the added wheat residues was negatively correlated with cumulative respiration but positively correlated with EC. Inorganic N (NH 4 + -N and NO 3 ? -N) and resin P significantly decreased with increasing salinity. Resin P was significantly decreased by addition of CaCl2 and CaCO3.  相似文献
