Abstract:
      The effect of sand layer on soil water and salt movement was analyzed based on a 6-month observation about soil conductivity and liquid water content in the experiment that laid sand in 80~100 cm soil profile. The result showed that sand layer in 80~100 cm could increase the soil liquid water content while rainfall is heavy enough; When in May to July that had great amount of evaporation and small amount of rainfall, with sand layer, the degree of soil salt accumulation could decrease by 50%~70% compared with the control; Sand layer could prolong the process of infiltration under sand layer,then strengthened the eluviation effect of rainfall. Soil salt content decreased significantly in sand-layered soil when rainfall was near to evaporation, and it didn't increase or increase a litter in the control. When rainy season ended, soil desalinization ratio increased by 10%~35% compared with the control, and the process of soil desalting could continue to October, which is very beneficial for the growing of plants.
