- Abstract:

Preferential flow is a common heterogeneous phenomenon of movement of water and solute in soil. However, the difference of soil aggregate stability between preferential flow domain and matrix flow domain are still unclear. In order to clarify the difference of soil aggregate fragmentation mechanism, soil dyeing percentage and aggregate stability in preferential flow and matrix flow domain were analyzed by using dye tracer in field and Le Bissonnais(LB)method in this study. The results showed that soil dyeing percentage mainly distributed in 0—30 cm soil depth, and orchard had a significantly higher values than abandoned land in 10—30 cm depth; the macro-aggregate(>0.25 mm)content and mean weight diameter(MWD)with LB treatments had similar change trends in the order: orchard>farmland>abandoned land, while the relative slaking index(RSI)and relative mechanical breakdown index(RMI)had the opposite tendency; in 10—20 cm soil depth, the preferential flow domain had stronger aggregate stability and resistance to slaking and mechanical breakdown than the matrix flow domain; soil dyeing percentage was negatively correlated with MWD and positively correlated with RSI. These results suggest that orchard had better preferential flow characteristics and aggregate stability than farmland and abandoned land, and the resistance to aggregates slaking and mechanical breakdown of preferential flow domain was stronger than that of matrix flow domain, which was beneficial for maintaining the stability of preferential flow path.
