传统农业技术的环境适应性及其生态意义——以黄土地区施肥技术为例

Environmental Adaptability and Ecological Significance of Traditional Agricultural Techniques:Taking the Fertilizing Technique in Loess Areas as an Example

对于中国农业起源及农业文明的延续,黄土有着特殊的意义。以汾渭平原为中心的黄土地带形成了一系列具有地方特色的传统农业生产技术,以土作肥就是区域内土壤资源利用的典型地方经验。施加土粪的过程改变了地表土壤层的分布方式,形成几千年来肥沃的土壤耕层。乡民生产生活对黄土的循环利用形成了特有的自然景观与文化遗存,这不仅展现出地方经验中的民众智慧,也包含自然与社会互动及协调发展的生态意义。

Loess is of special significance to the origin of Chinese agriculture and the continuation of Chinese agricultural civilization. A series of traditional agricultural production techniques with local characteristics have formed in the loess areas centered on the Fenwei Plain, and using soil as fertilizer is a typical local experience of soil resource utilization in the region. The application of soil compost changes the distribution of surface soil layer and creates a fertile topsoil for thousands of years. The cyclic utilization of loess by local people in their production and life produces a unique natural landscape and cultural heritage, which not only demonstrates the wisdom of local people, but also contains the ecological significance of interaction and coordination between nature and human society.
