Abstract:

The Seriphidium desert is used as transitional pasture in northern Xinjiang, and the sedentary grazing around the water point is the primary modes for the lack of water, which makes the piospheres widespread in northern Xinjiang. To study the piosphere effect, we sampled the soil along a gradient of 50 m, 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 800 m and 1200 m with four orientations (east, south, west and north) radiating outward from a watering point of Seriphidium desert in the North Slope of Tianshan Mountains, Mori, Xinjiang. The results showed that the soil electric conductivity and pH increased with the decrease of distance from water point or the increase of grazing intensity, and the soil water content had no significant changes. The soil organic carbon, total and available N and P had significant positive correlation with the distance from water point, which meaned the increase of grazing intensity decreased the content of soil organic carbon and soil nutrients except for K. These results indicated that the overgrazing led to the degradation, even depletion, of soil nutrient in desert grassland.

Key words: Piosphere, Seriphidium desert, Soil nutrient, Xinjiang

摘要:

由于干旱缺水,新疆北部绢蒿(Seriphidium)荒漠形成以饮水点为中心的定居放牧,导致水源圈大量出现。2014年5月底,以新疆木垒县天山北坡绢蒿荒漠一个典型的牧场水源点为中心,采集了东南西北4个方向和6个采样距离(50 m,100 m,200 m,400 m,800 m和1200 m)的土样,分析了土壤含水率、电导率、pH值以及土壤有机碳、土壤全量和速效养分变化特征。结果表明,随着离水源点距离的增加,土壤含水量、全钾和速效钾没有明显变化,土壤电导率、pH值、土壤有机碳、全氮、全磷、速效氮和速效磷的含量随着离水源点距离的增加而增加,说明放牧扰动强度的增加降低了土壤有机碳和土壤养分含量。结果说明,在新疆北部涓蒿荒漠,过度放牧导致水源点附近土壤养分明显减少,甚至枯竭。
