Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of estimating soil moisture leakage in alpine sandy lands, and in particular to a method for estimating soil moisture leakage in alpine sandy lands. Background Art
[0002] In alpine sandy ecosystems, soil moisture infiltration is a key parameter of water resource circulation. Its accurate estimation is of great significance to regional water resource management, ecological restoration project design, and climate change response. The unique low temperature environment and frequent freeze-thaw cycles of alpine sandy areas, coupled with the significant impact of biological crusts on soil hydrological processes, make the soil moisture infiltration mechanism in this area extremely complex.
[0003] Traditional soil water infiltration estimation methods, such as the Hydrus-1D model, are often based on steady-state water flow assumptions and empirical parameters, and fail to fully consider the dynamic effects of freeze-thaw cycles on soil pore structure and permeability. Studies have shown that freeze-thaw cycles can redistribute soil particles, causing significant changes in porosity at a depth of 30-80 mm, which in turn affects water infiltration characteristics. However, existing methods struggle to accurately quantify these changes. Furthermore, the widespread distribution of biological crusts in alpine sandy areas has a significant water-blocking effect. When the coverage of biological crusts exceeds 30%, the soil infiltration rate can be reduced by 23.41%-30.39%. Traditional models often simplify this, resulting in large errors in the estimated results.
[0004] In terms of data acquisition and processing, existing technologies often rely on single-point in-situ monitoring or a single remote sensing data source, making it impossible to achieve continuous spatiotemporal estimation of seepage in the 0-110 cm soil layer. Furthermore, traditional interpolation methods and statistical models struggle to effectively integrate heterogeneous data from multiple sources, failing to meet the demand for high-precision estimates in the complex environment of alpine sandy lands. Therefore, a method is urgently needed that can comprehensively consider specific factors such as freeze-thaw cycles and biological crusts, and combine multi-source data to achieve accurate spatiotemporal estimation, thereby filling the gap in existing technology in the study of soil water seepage in alpine sandy lands.

[0033] S212, initial parameter determination: using the cutting ring method to determine the initial bulk density of the soil sample, using the drying method to determine the initial moisture content, and using the mercury intrusion method to obtain the initial pore structure parameters of the soil sample;

[0050] S45. Integrate the prediction results of each spatial grid to generate continuous spatiotemporal data of seepage volume at a resolution of 30 m per day for the 0-110 cm soil layer;
