Soil Water and Heat Dynamics in Soil Freezing-Thawing Processes of Farmland-Desert Transitional Zone in Middle Reach of Heihe River
A typical farmland-desert transitional zone in the Heihe River Basin was selected to explore soil water and heat dynamics in soil freezing-thawing processes under different landscapes. The main results were as follows:(1) Soil temperature was in response to air temperature quickly
but its amplitudes decreased with the increasing soil depth. The variation of soil temperature were ordered as:desert >farmland >shelterbelt
whereas the soil frost depth was ordered as:farmland(100 cm) >shelterbelt(80 cm) >desert(60 cm);(2) Due to the soil properties and surface cover
the soil moisture content of farmland and shelterbelt changed greatly
and the maximum occurred in early April
while soil moisture content of desert was almost invariant;(3) Changes of soil moisture laged behind that of soil temperature
soil water and temperature changes of shelter forest is slower than that of farmland;(4) Shallow groundwater level dropped during the freezing period
and rose during the thawing period
and the rise rate was greater than the drop rate. The soil freezing and thawing process could effectively reduce soil moisture evaporation and seepage by lifting subsoil moisture upward
and therefore help to conserve water in the deep soil
which has great significance to plants of the following year.
