Dynamic monitoring and numerical simulation of soil moisture transport in the Pulang Copper Mine area
Revealing the soil moisture characteristics in the mining area is of great significance for ecological environmental protection.Based on the monitoring data of soil moisture at different depths in the grassland unmined area,grassland fissure area,woodland unmined area,and woodland fissure area of the Pulang Copper Mine in 2023,Hydrus-1d soil moisture transport model was constructed for four locations to simulate the evolution characteristics of moisture fluxes in different plots of the mine area and the depth of moisture infiltration into the air-packed zone under typical rainfall events.The results show that:(1)the soil moisture simulation coefficient of determination R2 is greater than 0.6,the average absolute error RMSE and root mean square error MAE are less than 1,and the established soil transport model of Pulang Copper Mining Area has a high accuracy.(2)The soil moisture flux at the burial depth of 20 cm was the largest,and with the deepening of the soil depth,the soil moisture flux of the soil layer of each plot showed a significant decreasing trend;the soil moisture flux of the grassland fissure area and the woodland fissure area within the range of burial depth of 0-120 cm was 3.52%and 5.79%higher than that of the unmined area of the grassland and the unmined area of the woodland,correspond-ingly;the average moisture flux of the grassland(4.07%)was larger than woodland(2.86%).(3)Under the same rainfall conditions,the infiltration depth was greatest in the grassland fissure area and smallest in the forested unmined area;the deep underground aquifer could not be recharged until a single rainfall of 35 mm.
