摘要：Soil evaporation and its associated processes are vital for agricultural production and ecosystems in seasonal frozen regions. However, soil evaporation and its impact on salt accumulation in different landscapes during freeze–thaw periods have not been well elucidated. In this study, field experiments were carried out to investigate soil evaporation and salt accumulation patterns in three typical landscapes—namely, cropland, woodland, and natural land—in an arid seasonal frozen region located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River basin from November 2018 to April 2019. The results indicated the highest soil evaporation occurred on natural land with a total amount of 148.5 mm during the freeze–thaw period from 2018 to 2019, whereas woodland had the smallest soil evaporation of 56.9 mm. Over 75% of soil evaporation occurred during the thawing stage for all three landscapes. The average daily evaporation was below 1 mm d–1 for the whole freeze–thaw period and was 0.1 mm d–1 for the stable freezing stage. Compared with humidity and wind speed, temperature and soil water content had a greater impact on soil evaporation. At the end of the thawing stage, the salt content in the topsoil (0–10 cm) layer increased significantly with an increasing rate of 70–225%. Salt concentrations in the topsoil were significantly and linearly related to the cumulative soil evaporation during the freeze–thaw period. The current research is expected to provide implications for water management and salinity control in the upper reaches of the Yellow River basin and in other arid regions with similar conditions.
