Soil acidification with various planting patterns in Lhasa, Tibet, China
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spread of vegetable production around Lhasa, Tibet, China, with high nitrogen fertiliser use may cause accelerated acidification which has consequences for soil productivity. In order to understand the different patterns of soil acidity in Lhasa, Tibet, China three patterns of land use were studied namely: grain, openfield vegetable, and greenhouse vegetable. Fertilizer application was higher in vegetable cultivation and greenhouse vegetable cultivation among the three patterns of land use. Soil pH for greenhouse vegetable production was lowest, while soil pH for grain production was the highest. Higher fertilization and the higher evaporation coupled with very low leaching in vegetable greenhouse caused a dramatic change of soil quality. We should improve management to increase nitrogen uptake efficiency and to reduce nitrogen application.

BACKGROUND Tibet, average altitude more than 4,000 meters, is warming faster than anywhere else in China. The increase in temperatures may aggravate existing health problems and lead to the emergence of new risks. However, there are no actions being taken at present to protect population health due to limited understanding about the range and magnitude of health effects of climate change. MET...
متن کاملWater potential characteristics and yield of summer maize in different planting patterns 1
A study was conducted in the Shandong province in North China to investigate the effects of different planting patterns on water potential characteristics of soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) and yield of summer maize. Three planting patterns were applied, i.e. bed planting (BE), furrow planting (FU) and flat planting (FL). The results showed that although soil moisture content in 0–20 cm ...
