川西南不同岩性区火烧迹地灰烬泥沙层分布规律

    DISTRIBUTION CHARACTERISTICS OF ASH-SEDIMENT IN BURNED AREAS WITH DIFFERENT LITHOLOGY IN SOUTHWESTERN SICHUAN, CHINA

    • 摘要: 坡表土壤受林火高温影响失去原状土结构联结,与火后灰烬混合形成灰烬泥沙层。灰烬泥沙层在降雨条件下将随坡面径流起动从而形成火后泥石流,其储量将直接影响火后泥石流冲出规模。本文以川西南不同岩性区,即沉积岩(西昌2020年“3 ·30”火烧区)、火成岩(冕宁2021年“4 ·20”火烧区)、变质岩(九龙2022年“2 ·16”火烧区)3处森林火灾火烧迹地为研究对象,现场调查了各火烧迹地坡面灰烬泥沙层厚度、干密度及荷载(单位面积质量)空间分布,分析了灰烬泥沙层与枯落物、土壤可蚀性因子的关系。结果表明,各火烧区灰烬泥沙层厚度和荷载均与火烈度呈正相关关系。轻度及中度火烧区灰烬泥沙层干密度无显著差异,而重度火烧区其干密度显著增加。受枯落物厚度及坡表土壤性质影响,不同岩性区火烧迹地灰烬泥沙层厚度、干密度和荷载也存在显著差异,其数值表现为沉积岩区<火成岩区<变质岩区。灰烬泥沙层厚度、荷载与枯落物厚度、土壤可蚀性因子呈显著正相关关系。土壤可蚀性因子越高,土壤受林火高温影响更易失去结构联结变得松散。研究成果为揭示不同岩性区火烧迹地可能暴发火后泥石流规模差异提供科学依据,对火烧迹地科学防灾减灾具有重要意义。

       

      Abstract: Ash-sediment—a complex mixture of wildfire ash and surface mineral soil that has lost its structure due to high-temperature combustion—is highly susceptible to erosion by runoff. Its abundance strongly influences hillslope erosion processes and the sediment supply for post-fire debris flows. This study examined burned areas with different lithologies in southwestern Sichuan, including sedimentary rocks(Xichang wildfire of March 30,2020), igneous rocks(Mianning wildfire of April 20,2020), and metamorphic rocks(Jiulong wildfire of February 16,2022). The spatial distribution of ash-sediment in each burned area was investigated, and the relationships among ash-sediment, litter, and soil erodibility were analyzed. The results indicate that ash-sediment thickness and mass load are positively correlated with fire severity. Bulk density of ash-sediment showed no significant difference between low-and moderate-severity areas but increased significantly in high-severity zones. Furthermore, due to differences in litter and soil properties, ash-sediment thickness, bulk density, and load varied notably among the burned areas, with the highest values in the Jiulong area, followed by Mianning and Xichang. Ash-sediment thickness and load were significantly positively correlated with litter thickness and soil erodibility factors. Higher soil erodibility factors corresponded to soils more prone to structural loss and loosening under high temperatures. These findings provide a scientific basis for understanding variations in sediment supply for post-fire debris flows across different lithological settings and support disaster prevention and mitigation efforts in burned areas.
