Investigation on Current Status of Soil Erosion in Eastern Qaidam Basin of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
[Objective] The current status of soil erosion in the Eastern Qaidam Basin was investigated in order to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of soil erosion in this region
and for effective environmental management of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.[Methods] The investigations were conducted in July 2019
2020
2021 in the Eastern Qaidam Basin
along Delingha
Golmud City
and Dulan County. 77 investigation plots were selected to investigate vegetation
soil
characteristics of soil erosion
and soil and water conservation measures.[Results] Qaidam Basin was dominated by wind erosion. During the crop growing season
there was no obvious wind erosion phenomenon on cultivated land
indicating that the soil and water conservation of crops was remarkable. The average soil wind erosion rates of different land use types followed the order of sandy land> cultivated land> abandoned land> shrub land. Gully erosion was mostly found on the grassland of piedmont alluvial fans and hillsides. Gully erosion on alluvial fans was more serious than on hillsides. Nebkhases were widely distributed and exhibited a diverse mix of species. Nebkhas volume had a strong correlation with plant canopy
and their sand blocking effect was obvious. The main existing problems were soil erosion and rising groundwater level caused by over irrigation of cultivated land
inadequate management of sandy land for planting wolfberry
imperfect soil and water conservation measures
and insufficient investment in soil and water conservation.[Conclusion] The types of soil erosion in Qaidam Basin are complex and diverse. It is recommended that soil and water conservation practices be strengthened
irrigation system maintenance be improved
and soil salinization management and sandfield conservation be strengthened. Thus will effectively ensure the sustainability of land resources in Qaidam Basin.
