Abstract. purpose: to study changes of soil moisture and temperature during plant dormancy under different film covering conditions. Method: observe the soil water content and temperature under the condition of bare land (CK), transparent film covering (TF) and black film covering (BF) in the wild. Result: during the dormant period, the average soil moisture content under TF condition is 48.9%~53.6%, higher than that under CK condition, which means that water is better conserved under film covering; soil temperature under the depth of 15cm has no significant difference between TF and BF condition, which means the effect of film covering lasts for 15cm. Conclusion: Film can increase soil water and temperature within the depth from 0 to 20cm, and promote deep water infiltration. Compared with TF condition, BF condition is more favorable to the increase of temperature and to stable temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
