Benefit measurement of the soil and water conservation for ecological forestry engineering

Data were collected from Three-north Region, Middle and upper reaches region of Yangtze River and Coastal region. By analysis of factors influencing soil erosion, the longitude, latitude, annual precipitation, and the slope degree were selected as regional independent variables and canopy density and stock litter were selected as independent variables, and integral diffusing models were established for evaluation of the benefit of soil and water conservation of forest. By solving the parameters of models using the package of STATISTICA, the Power function between independent variables and dependent variables was set up. The soil conservation amount of forest and economic values were estimated using the contrast method for the ecological forestry engineering of the above three areas.

Integrating water use systems and soil and water conservation measures into a hydrological model of an Iranian Wadi system

Water resources are precious in arid and semi-arid areas such as the Wadis of Iran. To sustainably manage these limited water resources, the residents of the Iranian Wadis have been traditionally using several water use systems(WUSs) which affect natural hydrological processes. In this study, WUSs and soil and water conservation measures(SWCMs) were integrated in a hydrological model of the Halilrood Basin in Iran. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) model was used to simulate the hydrological processes between 1993 and 2009 at daily time scale. To assess the importance of WUSs and SWCMs, we compared a model setup without WUSs and SWCMs(Default model) with a model setup with WUSs and SWCMs(WUS-SWCM model). When compared to the observed daily stream flow, the number of acceptable calibration runs as defined by the performance thresholds(Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency(NSE)≥0.68, –25%≤percent bias(PBIAS)≤25% and ratio of standard deviation(RSR)≤0.56) is 177 for the Default model and 1945 for the WUS-SWCM model. Also, the average Kling–Gupta efficiency(KGE) of acceptable calibration runs for the WUS-SWCM model is higher in both calibration and validation periods. When WUSs and SWCMs are implemented, surface runoff(between 30% and 99%) and water yield(between 0 and 18%) decreased in all sub-basins. Moreover, SWCMs lead to a higher contribution of groundwater flow to the channel and compensate for the extracted water by WUSs from the shallow aquifer. In summary, implementing WUSs and SWCMs in the SWAT model enhances model plausibility significantly.

Comparative Study of Guizhou Sloping Land Soil and Water Conservation Effect of the Three Cropping Patterns

Surface cover degree,monthly variation of topsoil water content,loss of soil and nutrient in alfalfa-corn intercropping,strip rotation cropping and corn monoculture were studied in this paper. Then soil and water conservation effect of these planting modes were compared. Results showed that surface cover degree was high during the all rainy season in both alfalfa-corn intercropping and strip rotation cropping mode, with slope field covered by vegetation all the year round. Roots of alfalfa grew well,which not only improved the root biomass in 0-20cm layer,enhanced the capacity of the infiltration of rainwater to soil,protected biodiversity,but also reduced surface off and soil erosion of 39. 3% and 59. 3% . Strip rotation cropping could also reduce surface off and soil erosion of 10. 4% and 21. 3% . Both alfalfa-corn intercropping and strip rotation cropping increased soil moisture in rainy season and before rainy season,whilst reduced loss of organic matter (caused by soil erosion) of 29. 9%-52. 4% ,total N of 26. 7%-54. 9% ,total K of 27. 3%-70. 9% ,slow available K of 21. 4%-58. 9% ,increased corn production of 33. 0%-35. 9% . Moreover,there was 13664kg/hm 2 in alfalfa-corn intercropping,which was 4. 1 times higher than common mode. There was 12492 kg/hm 2 in strip rotation cropping which was 2. 7 times higher than common mode.

Effects of Terracing and Agroforestry on Soil and Water Loss in Hilly Areas of the Sichuan Basin, China

Soil erosion in hilly areas of the Sichuan Basin is a serious concern over sustainable crop production and sound ecosystem. A 3-year experiment was conducted using the method of runoff plots to examine the effects of terracing and agroforestry in farmland systems on soil and water conservation of slope fields in the hilly areas in Jianyang County, Sichuan Province, Southwestern China. A power function (Y = aXb) can statistically describe the relationship between water runoff (Y) and rainfall (X). The regression equation for the treatment of sloping terraces with crops (Plot 2) is remarkably different from that for the treatment of sloping terraces with grasses and trees (Plot 1) and the conventional up- and down-slope crop system (Plot 3) regarding equation coefficients, while regression equations are similar between Plot 1 and Plot 3. Water runoff amount and runoff coefficient of slope fields increased by 21.5～41.0 % and 27.5～69.7 % respectively, compared to those of sloping terraces, suggesting that terracing notably reduced the water runoff in the field. In the case of sloping terraces, lower amount of water runoff was observed on sloping terraces with crops than on sloping terraces with grasses and trees. Sediment yields on the slope fields in the normal year of rainfall distribution were notably higher (34.41～331.67 % and 37.06～403.44 % for Plot 1 and Plot 2, respectively) than those on sloping terraces, implying that terracing also plays a significant role in the reduction in soil erosion. It is suggested that terracing with crops is significantly effective for soil and water conservation in cultivatedfarmland, while the conventional practice of up- and down- slope cultivation creates high rates of water runoff and soil sediment transport. Terracing with grasses and fruit trees shows a less reduction in water runoff than terracing with crops, which was observed in the 3-year experiments.

Effects of Erosion Control Measures on Mountain Floods： A Case Study of the Censhui River South Branch Watershed

To investigate the effects of various erosion control measures on mountain floods, a case study was conducted in Censhui River South Branch Watershed using scenario analysis and soil conservation service （SCS） methods. A distributed hydrological model was developed, and watershed parameters were determined based on satellite imagery, digital terrain models, digital maps and field investigations. Two types of erosion control measures were investigated： the variation of vegetation covers and the change of cultivation techniques. Seven scenarios were considered for the test watershed. The results show： （1） while the de-vegetation results in the increase of peak discharge, the improve of vegetation covers decreases peak discharge at watershed scale; （2） by both improving vegetation cover and enhancing terrace-cultivation technology, the peak discharge is reduced and the peak flow arrival time is delayed; （3） attention should be attached to both early warning system and measures changing the underlying surface and conveyance systems.

Features of Runoff and Sediment Yield of Different Shrub-Grass Combination Modes for Highway Side Slope in Hilly Areas of Central Sichuan Province

[Objective] Indigenous plants with favorable water and soil conservation effects were screened for the shrub planting.[Method] Suining-Ziyang-Meishan Highway in the hilly areas of central Sichuan Province was taken for example,through sorting out plant species investigated in the route planning,3 indigenous shrub species(Neosinocalamus affinis,Vitex negundo and Coriaria nepalensis) and 3 indigenous herbaceous species(Setaria viridis,Miscanthus floridulus,Artemisia argyi) were selected.Rainfall simulation experiment was adopted to compare runoff and sediment yields of different combination modes and ratios under constant rainfall intensity(20 mm/min).[Result] Different combination modes under constant rainfall intensity all showed better water and soil conservation effects than that of control group did.For example,runoff appeared 1'-4'05"later,sediment yield reduced by 6.56-33.86 g respectively.Among all combination modes,runoff and sediment yield showed great difference after 20 min of constant rainfall,V.negundo+S.viridis had the lowest runoff(1,700 ml) and sediment yield(60.71 g);C nepalensis+A. argyi had the highest runoff(1,920 ml) and sediment yield(84.02 g).[Conclusion] Given the same planting conditions such as side slope and seeding quantity,and also the same planting techniques,in the hilly areas of central Sichuan Province,the combination of V.negundo and S.viridis can greatly improve the water and soil conservation capacity of highway.

Water Availability for Winter Wheat Affected by Summer Fallow Tillage Practices in Slope Dryland

The tillage experiments for winter wheat were conducted on the slope farmland in Luoyang, Henan Province in the semihumid to arid loess plateau areas of North China. Different tillage methods including reduced tillage(RT), no-till(NT), 2 crops/year(2C), subsoiling(SS), and conventional tillage(CT)were compared to determine the effects of tillage methods on soil water conservation, water availability, and wheat yields in a search for better farming systems in the areas. The NT and SS showed good effects on water conservation. The soil water storage increased 12 - 33 mm with NT and 9-24 mm with SS at the end of summer fallow periods. The soil evaporation with NT and SS decreased 7-8 mm and 34 - 36 mm during the fallow periods of 1999 and 2001, respectively. Evapotranspiration(ET)with NT and SS increased about 47 mm during wheat growth periods of 2000 to 2001. Treatment RT and 2C had low water storage and high water losses during the fallow periods. The winter wheat yields with conservation tillage practices were improved in the 2nd year, increased by 3, 5 and 8% with RT, NT and SS, respectively, compared with CT. The highest wheat yields were obtained with subsoiling, and the maximum economic benefits from no-till. All conservation tillage practices provided great benefits to saving energy and labors, reducing operation inputs, and increasing economic returns. No-till and subsoiling have shown promise in increasing water storage, reducing water loss, enhancing water availability, and saving energy, as well as increasing wheat yield.

Soil Bunds Effect on Soil Properties under Different Topographies of the Southwest Ethiopia

Soil erosion is a major environmental problem affecting development endeavor.Physical soil and water conservation(SWC)measures such as soil bunds are implemented to mitigate soil erosion.However,information on the effects of soil bunds on soil fertility is limited.This study was aimed to evaluate soil quality in fields with soil bunds and with no soil bunds in steep,middle and lower sloping cultivated lands as well as spatial variation of soil properties in between bunds in southwest Ethiopia.About 7-15 years old bunds and nearby cultivated fields lacking bunds were assessed.From 0 cm-20 cm soil depth,a 36 soil samples were collected.Soil texture,soil organic carbon(SOC),total nitrogen(N_(tot))and exchangeable potassium(K_(exch))were analyzed.Soil bunds showed significantly(p<0.0.5)greater clay but less sand than adjacent no-bund fields.In steep,middle,and lower slopes,concentrations of SOC and Kexch were greater in fields with soil bunds than without.Lower slope fields showed greater clay,SOC and nutrients than steep slopes.In between soil bunds,soil was more fertile at above bunds than below the bunds.In Fanta watershed,soil bunds are vital conservation measure to retain soil fertility on cultivated mountainous area.

Impacts of water conservancy and soil conservation measures on annual runoff in the Chaohe River Basin during 1961-2005

Taking the Chaohe River Basin above the Miyun Reservoir in North China as a study area, the characteristics and variation trends of annual runoff and annual precipitation during 1961-2005 were analyzed applying Mann-Kendall test method on the basis of the hydrologic data of the major hydrological station （Xiahui Station） located at the outlet of the drainage basin and the meteorological data of 17 rainfall stations. Human activities including water conservancy projects construction and water diversion as well as implementation of soil and water conservation from 1961 to 2005 were carefully studied using time series contrasting method. The referenced period （1961-1980） that influenced slightly by human activities and the compared period （1981-2005） that influenced significantly by water conservancy and soil conservation measures were identified according to the runoff variation process analysis and abrupt change points detection during 1961-2005 applying double accumulative curve method, mean shift t-test method and Mann-Kendall mutation test technique. Based on the establishment of a rainfall-runoff empirical statistical model, impacts and the runoff-reducing effects of water conservancy and soil conservation measures on runoff reduction were evaluated quantitatively. The major results could be summarized as follows： （1） The annual precipitation in the drainage basin tends to decrease while the runoff has declined markedly since the 1960s, the average annual runoff from 1991 to 2000 was only 90.9% in proportion to that from 1961 to 1970. （2） The annual runoff variations in the drainage basin are significantly related to human activities. （3） During 1981-1990, 1991-2000, 2001-2005 and 1981-2005, the average annual runoff reduction amounts were 1.15×10^8, 0.28×10^8, 1.10×10^8 and 0.79×10^8 m^3 respectively and the average annual runoff-reducing effects were 31.99%, 7.13%, 40.71% and 23.79% accordingly. Runoff-reducing effects by water conservancy and soil conservation measures are more prominent in the low water period.

水土保持深刻改变着地表覆被和结构、土地利用方式和陆地生态系统结构等,是增强陆地碳汇能力的重要途径。以水土保持林草、工程和耕作措施为切入点,按照“机理阐述—模型构建—分类测算”的总体思路,阐明水土保持碳汇内涵,明确了水土保持碳汇途径,构建水土保持碳汇测算方法,估算全国水土保持碳汇量。结果表明:水土保持具有垂向碳增汇、横向保土固碳(减少侵蚀土壤横向输移导致的碳流失)与减蚀减碳(避免碳排放)的多重功能。2021年,全国现存水土保持措施垂向碳增汇总量为1.54亿t,对陆域碳汇的贡献约43.5%~56.5%,其中林草措施植被和土壤碳汇量超过95%。水土保持保土固碳作用显著,2021年全国水土保持措施保土固碳总量为3 040.86万t,且具有明显的累积效应和长效作用。总体来说,2021年水土保持碳增汇(不包括水土保持林草措施植被碳汇量和土壤碳汇量)和减碳量为5 115万~6 230万t CO_(2),约占到全国现有陆地生态系统碳中和总量的4%~6%,这一部分尚未纳入国家碳汇核算体系,其应是实现“双碳”目标的重要环节。

三维土工网边坡防护水土保持能力研究

路基边坡防护工程可减轻降雨对坡面土体的侵蚀作用,为深入研究坡面防护材料水土保持能力的定量表征方法,通过室内人工降雨边坡侵蚀模型试验,分析不同降雨强度和不同三维土工网防护下路基边坡的降雨侵蚀规律,提出三维土工网水土保持能力的试验测定方法及相关系数计算公式。研究结果表明:三维土工网防护边坡泥沙流失干质量明显小于相同条件下不设防边坡泥沙流失干质量,土工网防护在减少边坡侵蚀量的同时,有利于边坡侵蚀进程的快速稳定,但土工网的水土保持能力随雨强增大急剧下降。泥沙流失速度随着降雨的持续而逐渐减小,后期趋于收敛稳定,侵蚀历程采用指数函数拟合具有较好的相关性。建议设防边坡的试验降雨时间不少于70 min,不设防的边坡试验降雨时间不小于100 min。水土保持能力系数随雨强的增大呈对数函数关系减小,雨强超过100 mm/h时水土保持能力系数实测值与对数函数拟合值差异较大,建议在测定材料水土保持能力系数时雨强取20~100 mm/h,可取50 mm/h作为标准试验雨强。泡面类三维土工网水土保持能力显著优于普通三维土工网,而双泡面的三维土工网优于单泡面三维土工网。试验条件下凹凸泡面三维土工网的水土保持能力系数主要分布在1.71~3.03,建议50 mm/h雨强三维土工网水土保持能力系数不应小于1.5。

三峡库区是长江流域生态环境系统的重要环节,库区生态环境问题备受关注。水土流失是影响三峡库区生态安全、制约库区发挥生态屏障功能的关键环境问题之一。2020—2022年,水利部水土保持监测中心的三峡库区水土流失遥感监测站组织实施了基于遥感技术的三峡库区水土流失动态监测,结合野外考察和数值模拟等手段,对库区土壤侵蚀因子与侵蚀模数进行计算,并对水土流失防治效益进行评价。结果显示:(1)林地和耕地是水土流失发生的主要区域;(2)在相同的土地利用模式下,地形较陡的区域更易发生强度较大的水蚀;(3)2020—2022年,库区水土流失面积呈减少趋势,减少速率约为264 km^(2)/年,水土保持措施面积则以865 km^(2)/年的速率增加,取得较好治理效果。在进一步工作中,可针对性地在坡度较大的水蚀区进行合理的水保措施布设,以进一步提高库区水土流失治理成效。本研究可为三峡库区水土流失治理和水保措施规划以及长江流域生态系统建设提供科学依据。

南方红壤侵蚀流域不同情景措施的减沙效应模拟

为揭示南方红壤侵蚀流域不同情景措施的减沙效应,实现区域可持续发展,采用SWAT(soil and water assessment tool)模型模拟方法,以南方典型花岗岩红壤侵蚀流域——福建长汀朱溪流域为研究区域,在模拟该流域产流产沙状况的基础上,通过不同水土保持措施和不同土地利用方式调整的情景设置,量化分析不同情景措施对该流域的减沙效应。结果表明,SWAT模型的模拟效果能达到模型要求的精度,2013—2017年朱溪流域年均径流量和年均泥沙量分别为4.793×10^(7)m^(3)和1.037×10^(7)kg。乔灌草混交和全坡面种草措施能有效提高植被覆盖度,减沙效果优越;不同土地利用方式下模拟得到朱溪流域单位面积年均减沙率为3.49%。以上研究结果可为红壤侵蚀流域泥沙阻控的生态恢复措施提供决策参考。

不同作物种植模式下坡耕地产流产沙的模拟研究

产流产沙是坡耕地水土流失的主要形式,为探讨不同种植模式对坡耕地产流产沙的影响,采用室内人工模拟降雨试验方法,在同一坡度、3种雨强下对坡耕地7种种植模式进行模拟试验。结果表明:1)不同种植模式下坡面产流量随雨强增大而增大,初始产流时间随雨强增大而缩短。坡面产流量趋势为先逐渐增大,之后(10 min左右)逐渐趋于稳定。C单种模式减流效果最差;A-B-C套种模式减流效果最好;低矮作物单种及参与的套种模式能更好促进降雨入渗。2)不同种植模式下坡面产沙量与雨强呈正相关,低矮作物参与的种植模式径流含沙量变化幅度较小,中、高单种或套种模式径流含沙量变化复杂。小、中雨强下,A-B-C套种模式减沙效果最好;大雨强下,A-B套种模式减沙效果最好。低矮作物参与的种植模式减沙效果优于中、高作物单种其套种模式。3)不同种植模式下产流量和雨强均呈极显著正相关。B、C单种模式与A-B-C套种模式产沙量与雨强有相关关系,其余模式与雨强的相关性不显著。综上,低矮作物单种及低矮作物参与的套种模式能有效减流、保土,因此坡耕地在进行农作物种植时应考虑增加低矮作物参与种植,避免造成大量水土流失。

岷江干旱河谷土石混合边坡不同种植处理下乡土植被的生态效益

岷江干旱河谷生态环境脆弱,植被恢复困难,大规模的公路建设极易对当地生态环境造成破坏。筛选适宜的植被恢复措施对干旱地区道路边坡的乡土植被恢复重建和生态功能提升尤为重要。以岷江干旱河谷极端退化的土石混合的道路边坡为案例,选取乡土灌木和草本植物构建植物群落,进行裸地播种、播种后覆盖纤维毯和添加腐殖土后播种并地表覆盖纤维毯3种不同的种植处理,揭示了不同处理下群落结构、土壤改良以及水土保持效益的差异。发现,乡土灌草群落是干旱河谷适宜的道路边坡植被恢复模式,种植后第3年群落特征趋近于岷江干旱河谷区自然生态系统的多年生灌草植被。纤维毯覆盖+覆土处理在促进植物生长和群落构建,水土流失防治上效果最好,群落总盖度为74%,群落总生物量为506.35 g/m^(2);生长季内,与自然恢复相比小区径流量减少了87.8%,泥沙流失量降低了92.1%。土壤改良效应在3种处理之间差异不明显,但是与自然恢复样地相比,各处理均提升了边坡0-20 cm土层土壤养分。不同种植处理下植物群落结构差异是影响干旱河谷土石混合的道路边坡水土流失的关键因子。

开展水土保持碳汇计量、监测与评估是服务我国“碳达峰、碳中和”战略的重要举措之一,可为未来的水土保持措施实施和政策制定提供理论支撑。笔者以“碳达峰、碳中和”战略背景下碳汇相关政策与研究为基础,指出我国水土保持碳汇发展方向,阐明水土保持碳汇计量的概念、应用及评估认证体系。水土保持碳汇计量监测是“双碳”战略、水保规划、内生动力的重要实现手段,也是碳交易、生态富民和投入机制的主要应用场景。加强水土保持碳汇评估、分类管理和认证体系的建设,健全碳汇调查监测技术方法,能够推进水土保持碳汇的精确评估,为碳中和目标提供理论和技术支撑。新时期应全面推行水土保持碳汇计量监测体系建设,提升水土保持碳汇开发方法,建立水土保持碳增汇考核指标,持续挖掘水土保持碳汇增长的潜力,加强碳汇水土保持措施多元化发展,拓宽水土保持碳汇投资渠道,完善水土保持碳汇交易保障机制,推动水土保持碳汇参与碳市场交易。

“23·7”京津冀地区暴雨洪水与土壤侵蚀调查——以河北省邢台市临城县为例

[目的]开展“23·7”(20230729—0801)京津冀地区暴雨洪水过程及水土保持调查工作,分析小流域的暴雨洪水过程以及暴雨所造成的土壤侵蚀状况,为水土保持决策提供科学支撑。[方法]采用野外调查的方法对河北省临城县皇迷东沟和梁家庄西沟开展洪痕测量调查并计算洪峰流量模数,分析暴雨洪水对小流域造成的侵蚀危害。[结果]①该次降雨持续时间长、雨强大。梁家庄西沟和皇迷东沟流域累计雨量分别达到1008.5和613.6 mm。②按洪痕法调查推算了洪峰流量,皇迷东沟、梁家庄西沟小流域洪峰流量模数为10.80和36.07 m^(3)/(s·km^(2))。坡度和水土保持措施是影响洪峰流量的主要因素。较大的坡度会使洪峰流量变大,而完善的水土保持措施可以起到有效的削峰作用。③调查小流域位于泜河流域上游,是该次暴雨中心和洪水的主要产流区,小流域洪峰流量模数大于下游水文站洪峰流量模数。④梁家庄西沟的侵蚀情况比皇迷东沟严重,主要原因是皇迷东沟的果园、梯田和谷坊的面积比例大于梁家庄西沟,皇迷东沟的平均坡度小于梁家庄西沟且梁家庄雨量站的降雨量峰值持续时间更长。[结论]良好的水土保持措施可以有效减少洪峰流量以及侵蚀现象的发生。实施水土保持措施是必要且有效的。应该进一步完善梯田、台地谷坊的建设。
