Abstract: |
The impacts of wind-speed and straw-mulching on soil water evaporation were measured and analyzed
with 9 treatments of three wind-speeds (calm wind,0.5 or 1.5 m/s) and three straw-mulching levels (0,4 120, or 8 240 kg/ hm2). The results showed that when the water content was 70% of the field moisture capacity and mulching (0, 4 120kg/hm2) was the same, the soil water evaporation with wind-speed 1.5 m/s was significantly higher than other treatments; when the water content was higher than 55% of the field moisture capacity,the cumulative soil water evapo-ration with no mulching and wind-speed 1.5 m/s was far more than that of other treatments. There lies an exponential relationship between the cumulative soil water evaporation (E) and time (t) (E=atb), and the parameters (a and b) have clear differences among the treatments of wind-speed and straw mulching levels. |
