Characteristics of Mulching Plastic Film Residue in Cotton Fields in the Yellow River Delta

黄河三角洲地区棉田地膜残留特征研究（英文）

In order to get a clear picture of distribution characteristics of mulching plastic film residue in cotton fields in the Yellow River Delta and make scientific pollution prevention and control strategies, an investigation was conducted in Dongying City. Five typical cotton fields were chosen, and then the number, distri- bution density and area of residual film were measured. The results showed that the residual film was 18. 84-53. 53 kg/hm^2 in cotton fields for more than 20 years, and the differences between fields were larger. The residual density was 225-340 thousand per hectare. There were great differences among residual pieces. The proportion of residual pieces over 25 cm^2 was 94. 1%, that between 100 cm^2 and 500 cm^2 was more than 50. 0%, and that bigger than 500 cm^2 was about 21. 0%. In the Yellow River Delta cotton region, large, thin and difficult to recovery were the main characteristics of mulching plastic film residue, and it had the possibility of mi- grating to deep soil. Thus, the ecological risk of mulching plastic film residue was higher. Key words The Yellow River Delta; Cotton field; Residue of mulching plastic film; Distribution characteristic

为准确掌握黄河三角洲地区棉田土壤残膜的分布特征、科学制定棉田地膜污染防治对策,在黄河三角洲棉花主产区东营市开展了棉田地膜调查与残留监测研究,选择5个典型棉田进行取样,测定土壤中的残膜数量、分布密度及残膜面积等。结果表明:20年以上棉田的土壤地膜残留量为18.84~53.53 kg/hm^2,地块间差异较大。地膜残留密度22.5万块/hm^2~34.0万块/hm^2,残膜大小差异较大;25 cm^2以上的残膜占残膜总块数的94.1%,100 cm^2~500 cm^2的残膜占一半以上,500 cm^2以上的大片残膜约占21%。黄河三角洲棉区,土壤中地膜残留以"残块大、厚度薄、回收难"为主要特征,并具有向深土层迁移的可能,生态风险较高。
