- Abstract:
-
The variation of soil nutrients of the farmlands with different cultivation years in Xinjiang oasis farmland was investigated by using the method of principal component score evaluation to evaluate the quality of the reclamation of oasis farmland in Xinjiang. The results showed that: (1) cultivation practices enhanced the accumulation of total organic carbon and POC/MOC in soils, increased rapidly in the initial period (0~3 years), but the increase was diminished after 9 years of cultivation; (2) soil moisture, pH, electrical conductivity, and the salt content of cultivation lands were significant higher than those of virgin lands (p < 0.05), soil moisture and electrical conductivity increased rapidly in the initial period (0~3 years), but the increase was diminished after 6 years of cultivation, while pH and salt content increased with cultivation years, and the increase was diminished after 6 years of cultivation; (3) the contents of soil nutrients and available nutrients of the land with more than 9 cultivation years were significantly higher than those of the virgin lands (p < 0.05), which showed first increased and then slowly decreased with cultivation years; (4) correlation analysis showed that total quantity of soil nutrients had a certain correlation with available nutrients; (5) the principal component analysis indicated that the farmland tended to degradation after 9 years of cultivation. Based on the summary of the above results, it can be concluded that short-term cultivation (0~9 years) can improve the effectiveness of soil fertility and nutrients in oasis farmlands of Xinjiang, but long-term cultivation (> 13 years) may make soil hard and saline and reduce soil fertility and nutrients.
