- Abstract:
-
To explore the effect of the land conversion of rice paddy into dry land on regional nitrogen loss, the land use change from 2001 to 2019 was identified by using the transfer matrix of land use in the Quxi Basin of the Three Gorges reservoir area. The nitrogen loads of the basin from 2001 to 2019 were calculated and compared by the export coefficient model with the parameters modified by the measured nitrogen load data of the basin. The results showed that from 2001 to 2019 the overall shifting trend of land use in the basin was the conversion of rice paddy into dry land and dry land into woodland, and the conversion of rice paddy into dry land was the main trend. This land conversion resulted in 26% increase in nitrogen loss in 2019 compared with that in 2001, with an average increase of about 7.8 kg/hm2. The results indicate that, in facing the rapid agricultural land-use change, the significant role of paddy field in purifying and intercepting non-point source nitrogen should be taken into account, paddy field area of given size shall be maintained, and paddy field shall be designed at some key nodes of nitrogen transport in the small watershed agricultural landscape. These results can provide a new insight of a regional control of non-point source pollution in coping with the environmental changes.
