英文摘要 | Soil water status and fine root distribution is the basis of implementing water management in semiarid rain-fed orchards. Exploitation of rainwater is an effective avenue for alleviating water scarcity in semiarid regions since ground water is generally unavailable there. Through the method of space-for-time substitution, we investigated the soil moisture and root distribution along a range of stand ages (6, 9, 12, 18 and 21 years) in rain-fed apple (Malus pumila Mill) orchards and the effects of rainwater collection and infiltration systems (RWCI) on root-zone soil water and fine root distributions in matures apple orchards (21 years) in the semiarid Loess Plateau of China. The results showed that the mean soil moisture content (SMC) in the shallow layer (< 2 m) decreased with apple tree age (6 to 18 years); the deep SMC (> 2 m) was higher than shallow soil layers (< 2 m) in most cases and the SMC increased with depth in stands of all ages. Fine roots (< 2 mm diameter) showed an obvious trend of extending deeper with apple tree age - nearly 8 m in a 12-yr-old apple plantation and > 8 m in plantations > 12 years old. Dry root weight density (RWD) decreased sharply with depth, but densities at each depth were greater in older stands. The RWCI system significantly increased SMCs from the surface down to the maximum rainfall infiltration depth (MRID) (2 m depth) (P < 0.05), especially in the 0.2-1 m soil layer. Further, we found that apple tree water requirements could be sustainably met when RWCI system and a low-volume of irrigation water was applied. The distribution of root system was greatly affected by the RWCI system, which led to higher root densities close to the wetted area in the shallow soil layers (2 m soil depth) under RWCI system, down to a depth of 3 m in the soil. Overall, the application of RWCI system could be an effective water management strategy for providing sustainable water resources for semiarid orchards. |
