“…In the last 20 yr, the practice has changed, and extensive apricot orchards have been established on former sloped or terraced field. Many studies have focused on variations in soil water in different land cover types in hillslope areas in comparable arid and semiarid regions in the world (Lawrence & Hornberger, 2007;Voortman, Fujita, Bartholomeus, Aggenbach, & Witte, 2017). On the Loess Plateau, soil water circulation and variation have long been an issue of focus (Yang et al, 2014;Zhang & Shangguan, 2018).…”

Large changes in land use and land cover types have been occurring in the hill and gully regions of the Loess Plateau since the end of the 1990s. This study revealed dynamic variations of soil water in different layers of representative land use and land cover types under different annual precipitation regimes and assessed the effects on soil water circulation in large areas of apricot [Armeniaca sibirica (L.) Lam.] trees, which have extensive and deep root systems. The results show distinct soil water deficit with a water content of generally <17% (60% of field capacity) in the deep layers of the soil profile of the apricot orchards. Several years after afforestation, perennial soil water deficit layers have subsequently developed around the root zone or even extended to deeper soil layers in the apricot orchards. In the soil profiles, increasing Cl contents are not related to increasing δ 2 H and δ 18 O values. This finding suggests that the extreme deficit of soil water and dry layer developments is mainly caused by intense transpiration, rather than by evaporation alone. The occurrence and development of soil water deficit layers in the deep soil profiles were the dominant factors that caused tree growth degradation and gradual death, due to lack of adequate stored soil water in the deep layers for use during a long arid time. Thus, the large-scale establishment of arbor trees will likely lead to long-term soil desiccation in the arid or semiarid regions on the Loess Plateau.

“…Soil type, depth, water status, fertility, pH, and other factors have important effects on the AM fungal community [46]. In a past study, ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity was higher on sunny aspects than on shady aspects, probably due to differences in the distribution of plants in different aspect orientations caused by differences in insolation, water, and heat conditions [47]. This study found that soil nutrient characteristics were relatively better on NF than on SF.…”

The aspect can affect plant communities and soil physical and chemical properties through different microclimates. However, little is known about the effect of aspect on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal diversity and community composition, although AM fungi are beneficial for plant nutrient absorption and natural restoration. In this study, AM fungal community and diversity distribution patterns in the rhizosphere soil and roots of seven widespread plants in a natural Toona ciliata var. pubescens (Tc) forest on the north-facing (NF) aspect and south-facing (SF) aspect were investigated using Illumina PE250 high-throughput sequencing in the Guanshan National Nature Reserve, Jiangxi Province, China. Our results exhibited that aspect did not affect AM fungal diversity but significantly affected AM fungal community structure and composition. Glomeraceae was the most common and abundant family in the Tc natural forest. The Glomeromycota sequence proportion of root AM fungal community was significantly larger on NF than on SF (p < 0.05). The relative abundance of Acaulosporaceae of root AM fungal community differed significantly with aspect, being greater on NF than on SF (p < 0.05). In addition, the number of Glomeromycota sequences was significantly larger on SF than on NF, while the number of OTUs and the relative abundance of unclassified fungi in rhizosphere soil in Tc showed the opposite trend (p < 0.05). The soil properties (organic matter, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and pH) were significantly correlated with these changes. These findings indicate that the habitat of NF with low insolation, high soil moisture, and high nutrient content might promote the functional realization of AM fungi; the habitat of SF with high insolation, low soil moisture, and low soil nutrient content might be beneficial for the proliferation and preservation of AM fungal groups. This study provides important information on the ecological processes of AM fungal community construction and microbiological mechanisms in natural Tc forests.

“…In een zeer beperkt aantal gevallen lijkt extreme droogte ook tot een positieve ontwikkeling te kunnen leiden. De droogte zorgt voor meer openheid in de vegetatie en daarmee voor meer verstuiving, wat gunstig is voor duinen en zandverstuivingen waar verstuiving een probaat middel is tegen atmosferische depositie (Witte et al, 2008;Voortman et al, 2017;Bartholomeus et al, 2012;Witte et al, 2012;Aggenbach et al, 2020).…”

Risico's en kansen van klimaatverandering voor de Nederlandse natuur : Invloed van temperatuurstijging, extreme droogte of natheid, zeespiegelstijging en verzilting op de doelen voor VHR, KRW, ecosysteemdiensten en algemene biodiversiteit

Rijk en provincies nemen veel maatregelen voor het realiseren van de natuurdoelen, zoals voor de Europese VHR en KRW-doelen, maar ook voor ecosysteemdiensten en biodiversiteit in het algemeen. Klimaatverandering kan een risico (gaan) vormen voor de Nederlandse natuur. Het is daarom van belang om goed inzicht te krijgen in de huidige en toekomstige risico's van o.a. temperatuurstijging, extreme droogte, extreme natheid, zeespiegelstijging en verzilting. Op basis van literatuurstudie en expertkennis blijkt dat de klimaatrisico's in de toekomst waarschijnlijk gaan toenemen en een belangrijke(re) rol gaan spelen bij de realisatie van de doelen voor natuur. In mindere mate biedt klimaatverandering ook kansen.
