AN IMPACT OF IRRIGATION ON MORPHOGENETIC DIAGNOSTICS OF ALLUVIAL MEADOW-FOREST SOILS IN THE KHUBA-KHACHMAS REGION OF AZERBAIJAN
Abstract
Results are given from a study on the influence of irrigation on diagnostic indices of alluvial meadow-forest soils in the Khuba-Khachmas region of Azerbaijan. Field work was done in 2010–2014. The turbidity of stream and irrigation water was observed to significantly increase (3.79–6.54 g/l) in the rainy spring-autumn periods and drastically decrease (0.80–1.87 g/l) in summer due to the reduced amount of precipitation in the mountainous territories. Weighted deposits and their water-soluble parts are rich in humus (1.7–2.0 and 0.049–0.053%, respectively), total nitrogen (0.09–0.13%), carbonates (5.1–6.3%), and clay fraction. Weighted deposits of stream and irrigation water have been found to significantly influence irrigated soils, which results in forming a deep (50–60 cm) cultured horizon in the soil profile, and distinct indications of irrigation deposits. Soil density commonly reaches to values of 1.38–1.45 g/cm3 in surface and subsurface horizons that is due to an accumulation of clay (65–70%) and clay-loam (28–39%). In the fractional composition of humus in soils under forest, the first fraction of humic acids (21.5–25.3%) and fulvic acids (15.0–23.2%)prevail, while irrigated soils are represented by an increased content of humic acids (30–35%). Unlike virgin soils, irrigated soils contain more humin. The soil profile is rich in Al2O3 (17.4–20.5%) and Fe2O3 (8.4–10.2%) in the total chemical composition, but the content of SiO2 significantly decreases, and that of CaO increases in the arable horizons of irrigated soils due to carbonated alluvial deposits.
