- Abstract:
-
The vertical space distribution patterns of soil organic matter(SOM) in Ebinur Lake Basin were investigated by using the vertical-lag spatial correlation and empirical orthogonal function analysis (EOF). The results show that the vertical-lag spatial positive correlation (negative correlation) can indicate the regions where SOM has a similar (contrary) vertical distribution pattern. Specifically, the SOM content displays an increasing trend with increase of soil depth in the eastern and western regions of Ebinur Lake Basin, but the SOM content decreases with the increase of soil depth in the central part of the basin. The SOM content within the 40 cm interval of soil layers is strong correlation, but it is a weak correlation when the interval of soil layer is more than 40 cm. There is a threshold along the vertical direction of soil (i.e. 60 cm) where the SOM content increment (decrement) rate is very different. In Ebinur Lake Basin, the vertical spatial variability of SOM was severely affected by the spatial variation of the watershed ecological environment, ecological landscape, the rhizodeposition characteristics of arid vegetation and the spatial heterogeneity of soil profile evolution.
