Abstract:
      In the dryland farmlands of the Loess Plateau, residual straw and plastic film commonly coexist. This study was conducted to investigate their effects on soil water infiltration. A total of 8 treatments were set up, including 2 levels of straw addition (0% and 1.2% of soil weight) and 4 levels of plastic film content (0%, 0.04%, 0.08%, and 0.12% of soil weight), to analyze the movement of wetting front, infiltration time, cumulative infiltration, total infiltration, and infiltration rate under different soil additive conditions. The results showed that the mixture of straw and plastic residue enhanced the blocking effect of residual film on the vertical migration of wet front, and the coexistence of residual film content was the strongest when the residual film content was 0.08%. When the residual film content in soil was lower than 0.08%, the cumulative infiltration and initial infiltration rate were significantly reduced by straw incorporation (P<0.05). When the residual film content in soil was 0.12%, the cumulative infiltration and initial infiltration rate were significantly increased by straw incorporation (P<0.05). The determination coefficient R2 of Kostiakov model and Philip model is close to 1, and the fitting effect is good. In summary, when the plastic film residue content in the soil is low, straw reduces the infiltration capacity. However, when the plastic film residue content is high, straw helps mitigate the negative impact of plastic residue on infiltration. Both the Kostiakov and Philip models demonstrated a good fit to the infiltration data from soils containing straw and plastic film residue in the Loess Plateau.
