英文摘要 | Sand dune systems in the arid region of north-western China are maintained by sand-stabilizing vegetation, which provides critical ecosystem services. Limited knowledge of soil moisture recharge in these systems hinders sand stabilization efforts. To increase the understanding of soil moisture response to rainfall, we analysed soil water transport in the desert vadose zone of sand dunes and dune slacks following four natural rainfall events during the growing season of 2017. Rainfall was dominated by small rain events (<5.0 mm), accounting for 58% of total rainfall events. Soil moisture at 5-25 cm depth in dune slacks was significantly higher and more variable to 60 cm depth than in sand dunes. Soil moisture at 5 cm depth was replenished with rainfall amounts of <5 mm in dune slacks, but not in sand dunes. When rainfall amount reached 20 mm, soil moisture in dune slack and in sand dune increased, but was much higher in dune slack than in sand dune at depth of 5 cm; after the rain, soil moisture remained at a relatively high level in dune slack but not in sand dune. This was possible because dune slacks had higher silt contents and root biomass, which played a key role in improving soil water holding capacity or accelerating rainfall infiltration at 0-25 cm depth. Overall, the rainfall-driven hydrological regime coupled with soil physical factors regulated spatial and temporal variability of soil moisture in a sand dune system. |
