摘要
The implementation of the "Grain-for-Green" program in China led to the extensive introduction of artificial vegetation, thereby intensifying evapotranspiration and the overuse of water resources. Thus, selecting suitable ecological vegetation and planting patterns to save water is a major challenge in the region. Three typical plants were selected in the Loess Plateau of China. The plants had been growing for 13 years. The soil water dynamics were studied based on measurements and Hydrus-1D modeling simulations under different precipitation scenarios (wet, normal, and dry years) and planting patterns (Stipa monoculture (S), a mixture of Stipa and Medicago (SM), and a mixture of Stipa, Medicago, and Caragana (SMC)). The results indicated that the soil water contents with S and SM were 25 % and 8 % higher than the stable field water capacity (SFC), respectively, whereas the SMC was 33 % lower than the SFC in the 0-100 cm depth in relatively normal precipitation years. The evapotranspiration was lowest under S (296-524 mm), followed by SM (351-628 mm) and SMC (368-669 mm). The soil water storage were 19-91 % and 12-58 % higher under S and SM than SMC. The soil desiccation intensity was more severe under SMC (0.3-0.5) than SM (0.5-1.1) and S (0.6-1.4). The soil water storage increased significantly with the annual precipitation (P<0.05), and increased by 54-85 % in relatively abundant water scenarios compared with scarce water scenarios according to Hydrus-1D model simulations. Partial least squares path modeling demonstrated that the soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (path coefficient = 0.478) and soil porosity (-0.703) had significant effects on soil water storage (P<0.01). The results further suggested that using shallow-rooted grass as the dominant plant would reduce water usage in areas with water scarcity, and mixedspecies plantations (i.e., a mixture of shallow-rooted and deep-rooted grass) could reduce the loss of sediment in regions.
