The relationship between sensible and latent heat flux and diurnal variation in soil surface temperature and moisture under
four freeze/thaw soil conditions was investigated using observed soil temperature and moisture and simulated sensible and
latent heat flux. The diurnal range of latent heat flux had a similar temporal change pattern as that of unfrozen soil water
at depths of 0–3 cm during the freezing stage. Also, there was a better relationship with the diurnal range of unfrozen soil
water at depths of 3–6 cm during the thawing stage. Diurnal variation in latent heat flux was significant and depended mostly
on solar radiation during the completely thawed stage. However, while diurnal variation in solar radiation during the completely
frozen stage was significant, for latent heat flux it was quite weak due to low unfrozen soil water content. Thus, diurnal
variation in latent heat flux depended mostly on unfrozen soil water content during this stage. During the freezing and thawing
stages, diurnal variation in latent heat flux was also significant and depended mostly on diurnal variation in unfrozen soil
water content. However, the impacts of air temperature change from solar radiation on latent heat flux could not be ignored. 相似文献

In this study, we tried to model the processes of moisture and heat transfers in the soil–vegetation–atmosphere system in
an integrated comprehensive way. The purpose of the study is to simulate profiles of soil water content and temperature at
root active zone (i.e., 0–50 cm), taking the root water uptake, soil evaporation, and canopy transpiration into account. The
water and heat transfer equations are solved by an iterative Newton–Raphson technique and a finite difference method is used
to solve the governing equations. Soil water content and soil temperature dynamics could be simulated rather accurately in
a cropped field on Loess Plateau area. The water and heat transfer flux predicted by the classical theory of Philip and de
Vries (Tans Am Geophys Union 38:222–232, 1957) slightly overestimated near the surface and underestimated at the deeper depths, as a result of the overestimated soil evaporation
at the top soil layer (0–10 cm) and underestimated crop canopy transpiration at the deeper depths (10–50 cm). Water content
tended to be underestimated for the entire profile at the soil surface (from 0 to 50 cm). Soil temperatures during the simulated
period was slightly overestimated in the nighttimes and underestimated in the daytimes, as a result of the underestimated
soil water content at the top soil layer (0–10 cm) and overestimated at the deeper depths (10–50 cm). Soil temperatures tended
to be underestimated for the entire profile at the soil surface (from 0 to 50 cm). While the sum of the water and heat regimes
yielded a much better match with the soil water content and soil temperature obtained from the field observations. The results
obtained show that the model coupled water and heat transfer is able to capture the dynamics of soil water content. 相似文献

Permafrost degradation has the potential to significantly change soil moisture. The objective of this study was to assess
the variability of soil moisture in a permafrost region using geostatistical techniques. The experiment was conducted in August
2008 in alpine steppe and meadow located in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau permafrost region. Four soil depths (0–10, 10–20,
20–30 and 30–40 cm) were analyzed using frequency domain reflectometry, and sampling made of 80 points in a 10 m × 10 m grid
were sampled. Soil moisture was analyzed using classical statistics to appropriately describe central tendency and dispersion,
and then using geostatistics to describe spatial variability. Classical statistical method indicated that soil moisture in
the permafrost region had a normal distribution pattern. Mean surface soil moisture in alpine meadow was higher than that
in alpine steppe. The semivariograms showed that soil moisture variability in alpine cold steppe was larger than that in alpine
meadow, which decreased with depths. Nugget values in alpine steppe were low (0.1–4.5), in contrast to alpine cold meadow.
Soil moisture in alpine steppe had highly structured spatial variability with more than 93.4% spatial heterogeneity, and the
range decreased with depth. Soil moisture content in alpine cold meadow had a moderate spatial dependence with a range of
51.3–169.2 m, increasing with depth. 相似文献

浅层包气带水汽昼夜运移规律及其数值模拟研究 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
西北干旱、半干旱地区,浅层包气带水分通量主要由水汽组成,而水汽在运移过程中产生的能量转换和质量迁移是地表质能平衡计算不可缺少的重要源汇项。在野外进行一个沙坑实验,发现土壤水在中午(12:00—15:00)达到最大值(10cm深度,5.9~6.1cm3/cm3;30cm深度,11.9~13.1cm3/cm3),而在凌晨(02:00—05:00)出现最小值(10cm深度,4.4~4.5cm3/cm3;30cm深度,10.4~10.8cm3/cm3)。为进一步验证该实验条件下的土壤水运移及分布规律,考虑了土壤水、汽、热耦合运移的HYDRUS-1D模型被用来对实验过程进行模拟,模拟结果与实测结果吻合较好。为描述土壤水分昼夜运移模式,笔者将土壤水耦合运移的时间信息和空间信息进行同步分析;并根据土壤水运移的不同驱动力,分别对温度梯度、基质势梯度作用下的液态水及汽态水通量进行了分析。 相似文献

Due to the lack of freshwater, highly saline groundwater was the main irrigation source in the last few decades in the Minqin
Basin, which is in northwest China. The study evaluates the effects of salt accumulation on the soil physical–chemicals properties.
Undisturbed and disturbed soil samples were taken from the experiment site, which was irrigated with saline water at a concentration
of 0.8, 2 and 5 g L−1 (coded later as C08, C2 and C5). Undisturbed soil samples, at depths of 0–45 and 45–60 cm were taken to determine the water retention curve (WRC). Moreover,
in the same place, another set of undisturbed soil samples were taken to determine the porosity and pore-size distribution
(PoSD). From the WRC, the water-holding capacity of the soil was estimated. Disturbed soil samples at depths of 0–20, 0–45,
45–60 and 80–100 cm were taken to determine the index of aggregates stability in water (IC). The electrical conductivity of
the saturated paste (ECe) was determined at depths of 0–30, 30–60 and 60–90 cm, during the irrigation season on C08, C2 and C5 treatments. The results show that the total porosity and the index of aggregates stability in water decrease with the increasing
salinity of irrigation water, and the ECe increases with the increasing salinity of irrigation water especially in the surface soil. The water-holding capacity (WHC)
of soil also increases with the increasing salinity of irrigation water. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to develop an empirical equation for estimating the capillary rise in the saline-sodic soil
area of Songnen Plain in China based on the Averianov formula. The capillary rise was observed under five controlled groundwater
levels by lysimeters. Field experiment results indicated that capillary rise had close relationship with the groundwater table
depth, soil moisture of 10–40 cm soil layer and leaf area index. These factors have been taken into account to develop the
empirical equation for capillary rise simulation. The model parameters for Songnen Plain were derived by Levenberg–Marquardt
and global optimization calculating method. The modeled capillary rise has a good agreement with the observed data (r
2 = 0.875). With the simulation model, the critical water table depth was identified as 2.5 m, indicating that soil secondary
salinization will not occur when the water table depth is deeper than 2.5 m. Therefore, in the irrigation areas, groundwater
table depth should be controlled to be higher than 2.5 m to prevent the occurrence of soil secondary salinization. The results
from this research will provide useful information for the water sources management and soil secondary salinization control
in Songnen Plain of China, one of the most serious saline-affected areas in the world. 相似文献

The trap efficiency of a catcher in wind erosion measurements plays a significant role, and in many cases suspension trap
efficiencies at high wind velocities are still unknown. The sediment trap efficiency generally changes with particles size
and with wind speed. In this study, the efficiency of Vaseline Slide (VS) and Modified Wilson and Cooke (MWAC) catchers were
determined with different sand particle sizes (<50, <75, 50–75, 200–400, and 400–500 μm) at a fixed wind speed (13.3 ms−1) and with different soil textures at different wind velocities (10.3, 12.3, and 14.3 ms−1) in the wind tunnel of the International Center for Eremology (ICE), Ghent University, Belgium. The traps were placed at
different heights (4, 6.5, 13, 20, 120, and 192 cm for VS and 1.5, 3, 5, 8, 11, and 30 cm for MWAC) to catch saltating and
suspended sediments in a 12-m long, 1.2-m wide and 3.2-m high working section of the wind tunnel. In the sand particle experiments,
the efficiency of the VS catcher was 92% for particles smaller than 50 μm and decreased with increasing particles size, falling
to 2.2% for 400–500 μm particle size at 13.4 ms−1. However, the MWAC’s efficiency was 0% for particles smaller than 50 μm and increased with increasing particle size to 69.5%
at 400–500 μm. In the experiments with different soil textures, the efficiency of each catcher significantly changed with
soil and with wind speed. It also considerably varied with the catchers: for instance, for sand (S), the MWAC efficiency was
very high (67.4, 113.4, and 90.5% at 10.3, 12.3, and 14.4 ms−1, respectively) while the efficiency of VS was relatively very low (5.2, 4.4, and 1.9% at 10.3, 12.3, and 14.4 ms−1, respectively). Results indicated that the efficiency depends critically on the particle size, type of catcher, and wind
speed, and these could be helpful to increase the robustness of wind erosion measurements. 相似文献

Soil moisture dynamics under different land uses on karst hillslope in northwest Guangxi,China 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
Temporal and spatial dynamics of soil moisture are little known on karst hillslope with shallow soil in subtropical region.
The objectives of this paper were (1) to investigate the temporal dynamics of soil moisture at depth of 0–10 cm under different
land uses; and (2) to understand the relationship between mean and coefficient of variation (CV) of moisture contents on karst
hillslope in northwest Guangxi, China. Soil moisture contents had a moderate variation (CV 17.5–30.3%) over an 8-month period
and they had a significant difference among different land uses at the 0.01 level with a decreasing order: native scrubland > abandoned
cropland and sloping cropland > economic forestland. There were higher mean and lower CV of moisture contents in rainy season
than those in drought season. Mean and CV of moisture contents had a significant negative linear relationship except in abandoned
cropland with higher soil and vegetation heterogeneity. This suggested that spatial variability of soil moisture within sampling
sites would decrease when soils were wet and increase when soils were arid. Compared with rainy season, more soil samples
may be needed and the interval for sampling should be shortened in drought season. Such information provided some insights
to better understand the dynamics and variability of soil moisture at a larger scale in karst region of southwest China. 相似文献

According to the characteristics of groundwater in arid area, this paper proposes DRAV model for groundwater vulnerability
assessment, where D is groundwater depth, R is the net recharge of aquifer, A is the aquifer characteristics, and V is the lithology of vadose zone. As a case study, the paper assesses the vulnerability of pore phreatic water in Tarim Basin
of Xinjiang, China by using the DRAV model. The results indicate that the areas of phreatic water with vulnerability index
ranges of 2–4, 4–6, 6–8 and >8 accounting for 10.1, 80.4, 9.2 and 0.2% of the total plain area of the Tarim Basin respectively,
and the areas with the latter two vulnerability ranges (6–8 and >8) are mainly located in the irrigation districts with thin
soil layer (20–30 cm thick surface soil of vadose zone, mainly with underlying sandy gravel) and with silty and fine sand
layer. Such vadose zone generally lacks sandy loam and clayey soil and has larger recharge by infiltration of irrigation water. 相似文献

Accurate measurements to assess the influence of soil moisture on CO2 flux requires the absolute estimates of soil CO2 flux. Thus, it was constructed a calibration system where CO2 with fixed concentration flowed through the different porous material. Previous to measurement, in order to verify the performance
and reliability of a closed dynamic chamber, different discontinuous air-mixing rates and times were tested. The CO2 flux was estimated through sequential lectures and the best fit for flux measurements was obtained taking short readings
every 3 min, during a total time of 12 min (R
2 = 0.99). The best mixing rate was attained for 250 mL min−1, allowing 25 s of mixing previous to CO2 extraction for an infrared gas analyzer. The deviation of the measured values for dry sand from the reference CO2 flux (0.097 and 0.071 g m−2 min−1) was 5 and 7%. On dry sandy loam soil (SLS) the deviation was 2%. The measured fluxes decreased 73 and 22% with content moisture
of 20 and 10% (sand), and 78% with content moisture of 31% (SLS). This work allowed to estimate how much the measured emission
rates deviate from the true ones for the specified chamber and sampling conditions. 相似文献

Field experiments on the CO2 flux of alpine meadow soil in the Qilian Mountain were conducted along the elevation gradient during the growing season of
2004 and 2005. The soil CO2 flux was measured using the Li-6400-09 soil respiration chamber attached to the Li-6400 portable photosynthesis system. The
effects of water and heat and roots on the soil CO2 flux were statistically analyzed. The results show that soil CO2 flux along the elevation gradient gradually decreases. The soil CO2 flux was low at night, with lowest value occurring between 0200 and 0600 hours, started to rise rapidly during 0700–0830
hours, and then descend during 1600–1830 hours. The peak CO2 efflux appears during 1100–1600 hours. The diurnal average of soil CO2 efflux was between 0.56 ± 0.32 and 2.53 ± 0.76 μmol m−2 s−1. Seasonally, soil CO2 fluxes are relatively high in summer and autumn and low in spring and winter. The soil CO2 efflux, from the highest to the lowest in the ranking order, occurred in July and August (4.736 μmol m−2 s−1), June and September, and May and October, respectively. The soil CO2 efflux during the growing season is positively correlated with soil temperature, root biomass and soil water content. 相似文献

This article reported a wind tunnel test of sediment transport related to surface moisture content and wind velocity using
sands from tropical humid coastal area. A 1 mm-thick portion of surface sand was scraped using a self-made sediment sampler,
and the gravimetric moisture content was determined. Sand transport was measured via a standard vertical sand trap with a
60 cm height. The result shows that the sand transport profile above the wet surface can be expressed with an exponential
equation. In general, the influence of moisture content on sand transport profile mainly focuses on the bottom of the blowing
sand cloud. Meanwhile, with moisture content increased, total sand transport dropped, and a relatively larger proportion is
transported at greater heights. The vertical movement of particles on higher moisture surface (0.587% < M < 1.448%) is more sensitive to moisture content variation as compared to those on low wet surface (M < 0.587%), total sand transport rate tends to be rather low (0.99 g cm−1 s−1) when M > 1.448%. The total sand transport rate varying with moisture content is divided into three regions of differing gradient
at the moisture contents of 0.587 and 1.448%. The gradient of the curve reflected the different influences of the various
water forms in surface sediments. The higher moisture surface (M > 1.448%) merely functions as a transport plain for the saltation material. Surface moisture content was the dominant control
factor for saltation activity between the moisture contents of 0.587 and 1.448%, wind velocity could resume control saltation
after the surface dried to the extent (M < 0.587%). 相似文献

The impact of land use and land cover changes on soil moisture and hydraulic conductivity along the karst hillslopes of southwest China 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
The understanding of the temporal and spatial dynamics of soil moisture and hydraulic property is crucial to the study of
several hydrological and ecological processes. Karst environments are extremely fragile because of thin soil and small soil
water holding capacity. A marked intensification of agricultural land use and deforestation due to increase of population
and thus expansion of agricultural areas has made the karst environment even more delicate. In this study, the soil moisture
contents (SMC) and hydraulic conductivities (K) along four karst hillslopes were measured in situ by time domain reflectometry and the Guelph Permeameter, respectively,
at test plots, each of which has a different vegetative cover, landform, land surface slope, soil property and content of
rock fragment. The statistical results from the measurements show that land cover changes strongly affect the distribution
of soil moisture and hydraulic properties. Compared with SMC in the bare soil areas, SMC values are 30.5, 20.1 and 10.2% greater
in the forest, shrub and grass areas, respectively. Vegetation roots significantly increase permeability of low-layer silt
soils. Measured K values were 0.8, 0.6 and 0.01 cm/min for the forest, agriculture and bare soil areas, respectively. When the forest was destroyed
by fire or cut to become an agricultural area or bare soils, SMC would be reduced by 13.1 and 32.1%, respectively. If deforestation
leads to strong rock desertification, SMC was reduced by 70%. Bedrock fractures significantly reduce the SMC in the overlying
layer, but increase K values. SMC values of 30–45% would be reduced to 17–30% for the soil layer embedding rocks with and without fractures, respectively.
K values could be increased from 1.0 to 8.5 cm/min. SMC are sensitive to terrain. A slope angle increase of 1° would reduce
SMC about 0.82%. These changes resulting from land cover and land use alterations offer useful information to further investigate
the response of ecosystem evolution to hydrodynamic processes. 相似文献

To understand and predict the role of soils in changes in alpine meadow ecosystems during climate warming, soil monoliths,
extending from the surface to the deepest roots, were collected from Carex moorcroftii, Kobresia humilis, mixed grass, and Kobresia pygmaea alpine meadows in the hinterland of the Tibetan Plateau, China. The monoliths were used to measure the distribution with
depth of biomass, soil grain size, soil nutrient levels, and soil moisture. With the exception of the K. pygmaea meadow, the percentages of gravel and coarse sand in the soils were high, ranging from 37.7 to 57.8% for gravel, and from
18.7 to 27.9% for coarse sand. The texture was finest in the upper 10 cm soil layer, and generally became coarser with increasing
depth. Soil nutrients were concentrated in the top 15 cm soil layer, especially in the top 10 cm. Soil water content was low,
ranging from 3 to 28.4%. Most of the subsurface biomass was in the top 10 cm, with concentrations of 79.8% in the K. humilis meadow, 77.6% in the mixed grass meadow, and 62.3% in the C. moorcroftii meadow. Owing to deeper root penetration, the concentration of subsurface biomass in the upper 10 cm of K. pygmaea soil was only 41.7%. The subsurface biomass content decreased exponentially with depth; this is attributed to the increase
in grain size and decrease in soil nutrient levels with depth. Soil water is not a primary factor influencing the vertical
and spatial distribution of subsurface biomass in the study area. The lack of fine material and of soil nutrients resulted
in low surficial and subsurface biomass everywhere. 相似文献

Wind tunnel experiments were carried out with respect to the vertical distributions of wind-blown sand flux and the processes
of aeolian erosion and deposition under different wind velocities and sand supplies above beds with different gravel coverage.
Preliminary results revealed that the vertical distribution of wind-blown sand flux was a way to determine whether the gobi
sand stream was the saturated one or not. It had different significances to indicate characteristics of transport and deposition
above gobi beds. Whether bed processes are of aeolian erosion or deposition was determined by the sand stream near the surface,
especially within 0–6 cm height, while the sand transport was mainly influenced by the sand stream in the saltating layer
above the height of 6 cm. The degree of the abundance of sand supply was one of the important factors to determine the saturation
level of sand stream, which influenced the characteristic of aeolian erosion and deposition on gravel beds. Given the similar
wind condition, the sand transport rates controlled by the saturated flow were between 2 and 8 times of the unsaturated one.
Those bed processes controlled by the saturated flow were mainly of deposition, and the amount of sand accumulation increased
largely as the wind speed increased. In contrast, the bed processes controlled by the unsaturated flow were mainly of aeolian
erosion. Meanwhile, there was an obvious blocking sand ability within the height of 0–2 cm, and the maximal value of sand
transport occurred within the surface of 2–5 cm height. 相似文献

Soil hydraulic properties such as soil infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity are closely linked to runoff generation
and infiltration processes but little is known about them on karst hillslopes. The objectives of this paper were to investigate
the change in soil stable infiltration rate (q
s) and near-saturated hydraulic conductivity (K
ns) in different slope positions and to understand their relationship with rock fragment content and soil texture within the
topsoil in subtropical karst regions of southwest China. Tension infiltrometers (20 cm in diameter) were used to measure q
s and K
ns at pressure head of −20 mm on hillslopes 1 (a disintegrated landslide failure) and 2 (an avalanche slope). The change of
q
s and K
ns was great and they mostly had a moderate variability with coefficient of variations (CV) between 0.1 and 1.0 in the different
slope positions. On average, q
s ranged from 0.43 to 4.25 mm/min and K
ns varied from 0.75 to 11.00 mm/min. These rates exceed those of most natural rainfall events, confirming that overland flow
is rare on karst hillslopes. From bottom to top, q
s and K
ns had a decrease–increase–decrease trend due to the presence of large rock outcrops (>2 m in height) on hillslope 1 but had
an increasing trend on hillslope 2 with less complex landform. They tended to increase with increase in total rock fragment
content (5–250 mm) within the topsoil as well as slope gradient on both hillslopes. Pearson correlation analysis suggested
that higher coarse pebble (20–75 mm), cobble (75–250 mm), and sand (2–0.05 mm) contents as well as total rock fragment content
could significantly facilitate water infiltration into soils, but higher clay (<0.002 mm) content could restrict water movement.
This result indicated that rock fragment, sand, and clay contents may remarkably affect water flow in the topsoil layers,
and should be considered in hydrological modeling on karst hillslopes in subtropical regions. 相似文献

Effects of rock fragments on infiltration and evaporation in hilly purple soils of Sichuan Basin,China 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

This paper presents the results of laboratory experiments showing the effects of rock fragments contained in three different
purple soils of the Sichuan basin of southwest China. The experiments investigated how these rock fragments alter the soil’s
physical, chemical, and agronomical characteristics such as infiltration and evaporation. We found that the infiltration rate,
whether horizontal or vertical, in the three soils has the following order: gray brown purple soil < reddish brown purple
soil < brown purple soil. With increasing rock fragment contents the accumulated infiltration decreases, while the total time
decreases first and then increases. The minimum occurs at approximately 10–20% of fragment content by weight. The infiltration
rate also changes with the distance. In the 0–5 cm range, the initial infiltration rate increases with increasing rock fragment
contents, while in the 5–10 cm range, the slope of infiltration curve increases with increasing rock fragment contents. With
increasing distance, the slope gradually decreases and finally reaches a stable value. The presence of rock fragments reduces
soil water content, the minimal value appearing when the rock fragments were on top of the soil column (soil + rock sample),
decreasing with increasing rock fragments for other samples mixed with fragments. Under the constant 40°C temperature, the
accumulated evaporation and evaporation rate are minimal for soils covered by rock fragments, and the accumulated evaporation
decreases with increasing rock fragment for other soil samples. However, the evaporation rate increases with increasing rock
fragments in the first 4 days and decreases thereafter. 相似文献

Biosurfactants are frequently used in petroleum hydrocarbon and dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) remediation. The
applicability of biosurfactant use in clayey soils requires an understanding and characterization of their interaction. Comprehensive
effects of surfactants and electrolyte solutions on kaolinite clay soil were investigated for index properties, compaction,
strength characteristics, hydraulic conductivities, and adsorption characteristics. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and NaPO3 decreased the liquid limit and plasticity index of the test soil. Maximum dry unit weights were increased and optimum moisture
contents were decreased as SDS and biosurfactant were added for the compaction tests for mixtures of 30% kaolinite and 70%
sand. The addition of non-ionic surfactant, biosurfactant, and CaCl2 increased the initial elastic modulus and undrained shear strength of the kaolinite–sand mixture soils. Hydraulic conductivities
were measured by fixed-wall double-ring permeameters. Results showed that the hydraulic conductivity was not significantly
affected, but slightly decreased from 1×10−7 cm/s (water) to 0.3×10−7 cm/s for Triton X-100 and SDS. The adsorption characteristics of the chemicals onto kaolinite were also investigated by developing
isotherm curves. SDS adsorbed onto soil particles with the strongest bonding strength of the fluids tested. Correlations among
parameters were developed for surfactants, electrolyte solutions, and clayey soils. 相似文献

Integrated method of RS and GPR for monitoring the changes in the soil moisture and groundwater environment due to underground coal mining 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Mining affects the environment in different ways depending on the physical context in which the mining occurs. In mining areas
with an arid environment, mining affects plants’ growth by changing the amount of available water. This paper discusses the
effects of mining on two important determinants of plant growth—soil moisture and groundwater table (GWT)—which were investigated
using an integrated approach involving a field sampling investigation with remote sensing (RS) and ground-penetrating radar
(GPR). To calculate and map the distribution of soil moisture for a target area, we initially analyzed four models for regression
analysis between soil moisture and apparent thermal inertia and finally selected a linear model for modeling the soil moisture
at a depth 10 cm; the relative error of the modeled soil moisture was about 6.3% and correlation coefficient 0.7794. A comparison
of mined and unmined areas based on the results of limited field sampling tests or RS monitoring of Landsat 5-thermatic mapping
(TM) data indicated that soil moisture did not undergo remarkable changes following mining. This result indicates that mining
does not have an effect on soil moisture in the Shendong coal mining area. The coverage of vegetation in 2005 was compared
with that in 1995 by means of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) deduced from TM data, and the results showed
that the coverage of vegetation in Shendong coal mining area has improved greatly since 1995 because of policy input RMB¥0.4
per ton coal production by Shendong Coal Mining Company. The factor most affected by coal mining was GWT, which dropped from
a depth of 35.41 m before mining to a depth of 43.38 m after mining at the Bulianta Coal Mine based on water well measurements.
Ground-penetrating radar at frequencies of 25 and 50 MHz revealed that the deepest GWT was at about 43.4 m. There was a weak
water linkage between the unsaturated zone and groundwater, and the decline of water table primarily resulted from the well
pumping for mining safety rather than the movement of cracking strata. This result is in agreement with the measurements of
the water wells. The roots of nine typical plants in the study area were investigated. Populus was found to have the deepest
root system with a depth of about 26 m. Based on an assessment of plant growth demands and the effect of mining on environmental
factors, we concluded that mining will have less of an effect on plant growth at those sites where the primary GWT depth before
mining was deep enough to be unavailable to plants. If the primary GWT was available for plant growth before mining, especially
to those plants with deeper roots, mining will have a significant effect on the growth of plants and the mechanism of this
effect will include the loss of water to roots and damage to the root system. 相似文献

A large pool of nitrogen in the sediment pore fluid of a eutrophic lake in Iowa, USA, was mapped in this study. Previously,
the lake had supported fishing and boating, but today it no longer supports its designated uses as a recreational water body.
In the top 5 cm of the lake bottom, the pore water nitrogen ranges between 3.1 and 1,250 μg/cm3 of sediments, with an average of 160.3 μg/cm3. Vertically, nitrate concentrations were measured as 153 μg/cm3 at 0–10 cm, 162 μg/cm3 at 10–20 cm, and 32 μg/cm3 at 20–30 cm. Nitrate mass distribution was quantified as 3.67 × 103 kg (65%) in the bottom sediments, 172 kg (3%) in suspended particulates, and 1.83 × 103 kg (32%) in the dissolved phase. Soil runoff nutrients arrive at the lake from the heavily fertilized lands in the watershed.
Upon sedimentation, a large mass of nitrogen desorbs from mineral particles to the relatively immobile pore fluid. Under favorable
conditions, this nitrogen diffuses back into the water column, thereby dramatically limiting the lake’s capability to process
incoming nutrients from farmlands. Consequently, a condition of oxygen deficiency disrupts the post-season biological activities
in the lake. 相似文献
