| Abstract: |
| In order to explore temporal and spatial of shading region in different apple tree ages of conventional agroforestry system in west Shanxi Loess area, and provide reasonable planted region for intercropping, 4~7 year-old apple trees in agroforestry system were chosen as experimental material in Jixian, Shanxi Province. Similarity principle under parallel sun light was applied that apple tree was reduced by 50 times to make 3D apple tree model used by 3D print technology. We used 3D apple tree model to measure dynamic change of apple tree shading range. Results showed that: (1) In term of time, the shading area of an apple tree changed from decreasing to increasing in a day, and the area was the smallest at 12∶00; In term of space, the shading region of apple tree was unequal width arc, and the shade on the north side of the fruit tree was larger than the shade on the south side by 0.5~0.6 m. (2) During the day, the 4~7 year-old apple trees were repeatedly shaded by the target apple trees and neighboring apple trees, and the shading period was 4~9 h. (3) The reasonable plant region of intercropping in 4 m×5 m was 1.41~1.91 m, the plant region of intercropping in 5 m×5 m was 1.63~2.14 m. The region was decreased as tree age increased. (4) The plant region of intercropping was applied the plant method of unequal distance in north and south, the northward distance was 0.6~0.7 m greater than the southward direction. Traditional intercropping plant that equal distance of north and south was irrational, according to temporal and spatial distribution in agroforestry system. Intercropping plant region of different ages in different configurations was proposed by the analysis of temporal and spatial distribution in agroforestry system. The planting of intercropping should consider unequal distribution in the north and south. And the plant range of intercropping should continue to shrink with the tree age. |
