    Abstract:

    At present, many studies are carried out on influencing factors of soil moisture evaporation (SME), mechanism and controlling technology of SME at non-freezing period. However, the researches about SME during freeze-thaw period are few because the monitoring on SME is difficult. In order to reveal the influence of groundwater level depth and soil texture on SME during seasonal freeze-thaw period, based on two successive freeze-thaw period monitoring of soil water content and temperature of the lysimeter, SME of sandy loam and loamy sand under four kinds of groundwater level depths (0.5m, 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m) was simulated by using SHAW model. The results show that the soil is thawing in day and freezing at night, and then liquid water is more during unsteady freezing stage and thawing stage. SME of sandy loam and loamy sand are more than 91.7% and 81.8% respectively during freezing and thawing periods. SME was increasing with the increase of groundwater level depth while it was lower than 0.31mm during steady freezing stage. SME was 47.28mm for sandy loam and 25.60mm for loamy sand when the groundwater level depth was 0.5m. SME decreases exponentially with the increasing groundwater level depth during freeze-thaw period, and the decreasing amplitude of SME for loamy sand is more obvious for its larger soil particle diameter.
