Abstract:

Soil heat flux is a key index of energy exchange within the Earth system,exerting important influences on meteorology,ecosystem,groundwater cycle and agricultural production.This study examines the Cenchrus fungigraminus ecosystem in the semi-arid region of northwest China,calculating soil heat flux was calculated by the heat conduction convection method,employing the observational data of the Bowen ratio system in 2022.The characteristics and influencing factors of energy balance were analyzed.1)During the planting period,Cenchrus fungigraminus significantly reduced soil energy loss,and enhanced the correlation between soil heat flux and surface at the depths of 10 cm and 20 cm.Surface soil volumetric heat capacity exceeded the annual average during the planting period escalated with depth.2)Before planting,the soil heat flux at 20 cm depth was similar to that at the surface,but the peak value was higher and there was a lag phenomenon.During the harvest period,the soil heat flux at the depth of 10 cm and 20 cm was higher than the surface,and the whole was negative,indicating that the soil transferred energy to the atmosphere.3)On sunny days,peak surface soil heat flux values surpassed those on cloudy and rainy days,with varying times of occurrence.During the planting period,the fluctuation of soil heat flux in sunny and rainy days was small,but the heat flux in sunny days was lower than that in rainy days.The fluctuation of heat flux on sunny days increases with increasing depth.4)During the planting period,the height and soil moisture were the main factors affecting soil heat flux.Before and after planting,solar radiation,air temperature,soil temperature and air humidity were the main influencing factors.There was no significant correlation between precipitation and soil heat flux before and after planting,but there was a significant negative correlation between precipitation and soil heat flux during the planting period.In summary,coverage by Cenchrus fungigraminus can facilitate reduction in soil energy loss,augment soil volumetric heat capacity,and stabilize fluctuations in soil heat flux.
