RADIATION BALANCE AND MICROCLIMATIC FEATURES OF MARSH IN THE SANJIANG PLAIN

Radiation balance, soil temperature and the temperature and humidity of air were measured in marshes and reclaimed farmlands of the Sanjing Plain. Soil-heat flux was calculated with two different methods. Through the analysis of a lot of data, the daily variations and the law of vertical distribution of microclimate factors on marsh surface was obtained. It is found that after marshes are reclaimed, radiation balance increases, both soil temperature at different depths and air temperature of various height near ground layer rise, and air humidity decreases obviously. Therefore, one should take the establishment of artificial ecosystem of growing paddy and reed and breeding fish as the main development direction of marshes, at the same time, protect some marshes in order to prevent the environment from getting dry, and maintain regional ecological balance.
