Abstract:
      Based on long-time location experiments, the changing condition of exchangeable Ca in soil profiles of different cropping systems under the condition of 22 years' continuous application of NP chemical fertiliz er in the Loess Plateau was studied. The results show that the content of exchangeable Ca is high because of research area was calcareous soil. The eluviation and accumulation of exchangeable Ca occur in soil profiles. The peak is at 140~180 cm soil depth with the values of 13 180, 12 597, 11 960, 11 778, 11 590 mg/kg and 11 290 mg/kg under the maize wheat(2a)+millet rotation, pea-wheat(2a)+millet rotation, sainfoin-wheat(2a) rotation, pea-wheat(2a)+maize rotation, wheat succession and wheat(2a)+millet-maize rotation systems, respectively. The accumulation of exchangeable Ca in soil profiles (0~200 cm) under the maize-wheat(2a)+millet rotation is 269.67 t/hm2, which is higher than those of other treatments . However the accumulation of exchangeable Ca in soil profiles (0~200 cm) under the wheat succession is 218.78 t/hm2, which is lower than those of other treatments. The results suggest that different crops and cropping systems have effects on exchangeable Ca distribution in soil profile. The results also indicate that the total accumulation amount of exchangeable Ca in soil profiles (0~200 cm) are not significantly different in various cropping systems.
