A review of the factors affecting soil evaporation and its inhibition methods
Based on bibliometric analysis,the effects of meteorological factors and soil properties on soil evaporation were synthesized,and the effective ways of inhibiting soil evaporation were summarized.The results showed that soil evaporation was positively correlated with atmospheric temperature,rainfall,radiation,wind speed,saturated pressure difference,soil color and soil moisture content,but negatively correlated with atmospheric moisture,dry soil thickness,soil sand content,soil salt content and soil organic matter content.Soil evaporation was closely related to above-ground crop planting patterns,leaf area index and above-ground biomass.The main ways to suppress soil evaporation were mulching,tillage,application of soil conditioner,rational irrigation and construction of oasis farmland shelter forest system.Understanding the factors affecting soil evaporation and the ways of its inhibition could help people to change from negative control to active soil moisture conservation,so as to minimize the ineffective loss of soil water and improve the efficiency of water resources utilization.
