Irrigation erosion of irrigated soils in the foothills of southern Kazakhstan

Abstract： This paper presented the results from the study of irrigation erosion of irrigated lands in southern Ka- zakhstan. The main purpose of the work is the conservation of the fertility of irrigated soils, and then the soils of the upper, middle and lower sections of the slopes at the experimental site were studied. Based on field investigations, authors studied the water resistance of aggregates of gray-brown soils and light gray soils before and after irrigation and qualitative indicators of changes in physical and chemical properties of structured soils in irrigation were de- termined by conventional methods of soil research. The results indicated that the changes in the physical properties of soils by using polymeric compounds created a fundamentally new opportunity to control water erosion of soils.

吉尔吉斯斯坦表土元素组合及分布特征

通过对吉尔吉斯斯坦境内40个不同采样环境下采集的表土中元素含量的分析,结合系统聚类(HCA)、降趋势对应分析(DCA)等方法,研究了吉尔吉斯坦境内不同采样环境下表土中元素的组合差异及其控制因素。结果表明:(1)大部分路边采集的表土、农田采集的表土和河边采集表土在聚类分析中各自组成独立的类别,显示出具有不同于其它采样环境下表土的元素组合特征。(2)由于Ca、Mg、Sr在表生地球化学上具有一定共性,这些活动性元素容易发生相对明显的迁移或富集,DCA分析显示其与Al、Fe等稳定性元素的相对含量存在反相关,Ca、Sr、Mg等含量高低直接影响了Al等稳定元素的相对含量。P、Pb、Zn、Cu与Al、Fe、Ti等稳定元素含量受不同的影响因素控制。在上述基础之上,结合不同采样环境下表土中元素含量的对比分析,路边采集的表土中Pb、Zn、Cu元素富集显著,而农田采集的表土中P和Cu元素明显富集,反映了P、Pb、Zn、Cu元素已经受到了人为因素的影响,导致在DCA分析中具有不同于Al、Fe等稳定元素的显著特征。
