Heavy metal accumulations in Salic Fluvisols of the southern North Sea coast The total contents of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn (HNO3 bomb digestion) and their EDTA extractable fractions in Salic Fluvisols were investigated. The mean total content of Cd was 0,09 mg/kg, of Pb 44,1 mg/kg, of Cu 11,4 mg/kg and of Zn 105,6 mg/kg. Mostly the highly developed soils showed higher contents than poorly developed ones. The EDTA extractable fractions were comparatively small: they were 59% (Cd), 44% (Pb), 15% (Cu) and 10% (Zn) of the total content. The heavy metal contents of the soils in Elisabeth-Außengroden were higher than of those in Jadebusen. The vertical heavy metal distribution showed a different sedimentation pattern over the last hundred years. Compared with the geological background values Cd was 2- to 3-fold enriched, Pb 7-fold, Cu 3- to 4-fold and Zn 3-fold in soils with high sedimentation rates. Even higher values are likely in soils with smaller sedimentation rates.  相似文献

Seasonal sulfur dynamic of Salic Fluvisols The seasonal sulfur dynamic of semisubmerged Salic Fluvisols was investigated in Neuwarpeler-Außengroden (Southern North Sea coast) from August 1991 to October 1992. The study was mainly performed by investigating different sulfur species: Total sulfur (HNO3/HCI digestion), sulfide-sulfur (HCI digestion) and sulfate-sulfur were measured, organic sulfur and pyrite-sulfur were calculated. The dominating sulfur fraction was pyrite, followed by organic sulfur, sulfate and sulfide. The sulfide contents did not change remarkably in the course of the year. The sulfate contents were highest in summer and lowest in winter. They were positively correlated with the chloride contents. The total sulfur contents were highest in summer and winter. They show two phases of pyrite formation. The redox potentials show a simultaneous reoxidation in summer.  相似文献

Soil response to acid and sulphur inputs is influenced largely by the soil's physico‐chemical properties. We studied the effects of such depositions in two types of Andosols exposed to volcanogenic emission (Masaya, Nicaragua), namely Eutric Andosols rich in allophanic constituents, and Vitric Andosols rich in volcanic glass. Small mineral reserves and large contents of secondary short‐range ordered minerals indicate a more advanced weathering of the Eutric than the Vitric Andosols. Strong correlations between soil specific surface and oxalate‐extractable Al, Si and Fe contents highlight the predominant contribution of short‐range ordered minerals to surface area. Both types of Andosols showed a decrease in pH upon acid input. Sulphur deposition increased the soil's S content to 5470 mg S kg?1. However, the acid neutralizing capacity of the soil solid phase (ANCs) was not significantly affected by the acid and S inputs. Non‐exchangeable (mineral reserve) and exchangeable cations and total contents of sulphur and phosphorus dictate most of the ANCs variation. In the Vitric Andosols, mineral reserves contributed up to 97% to these four additive pools, whereas the exchangeable cations accounted for 1–4%. In the Eutric Andosols, the contribution of mineral reserves was less (71–92%), but the exchangeable cation content was greater (1–20%), whereas the contribution of sulphur and phosphorus was significant at 1–15% and 2–7%, respectively. The main process involved in H+ consumption is mineral weathering in Vitric Andosols and ion exchange in Eutric Andosols.  相似文献

Soil sulfur (S) partitioning among the various pools and changes in tropical pasture ecosystems remain poorly understood. Our study aimed to investigate the dynamics and distribution of soil S fractions in an 8‐year‐old signal grass (Brachiaria decumbens Stapf.) pasture fertilized with nitrogen (N) and S. A factorial combination of two N rates (0 and 600 kg N ha–1 y–1, as NH4NO3) and two S rates (0 and 60 kg S ha–1 y–1, as gypsum) were applied to signal grass pastures during 2 y. Cattle grazing was controlled during the experimental period. Organic S was the major S pool found in the tropical pasture soil, and represented 97% to 99% of total S content. Among the organic S fractions, residual S was the most abundant (42% to 67% of total S), followed by ester‐bonded S (19% to 42%), and C‐bonded S (11% to 19%). Plant‐available inorganic SO4‐S concentrations were very low, even for the treatments receiving S fertilizers. Low inorganic SO4‐S stocks suggest that S losses may play a major role in S dynamics of sandy tropical soils. Nitrogen and S additions affected forage yield, S plant uptake, and organic S fractions in the soil. Among the various soil fractions, residual S showed the greatest changes in response to N and S fertilization. Soil organic S increased in plots fertilized with S following the residual S fraction increment (16.6% to 34.8%). Soils cultivated without N and S fertilization showed a decrease in all soil organic S fractions.  相似文献

Abstract

Although over 40% of excretal S is returned to intensively sheep ‐grazed pastures as faecal S, limited information is available on faecal S fractions, their water solubility and temporal distribution. This study reports results obtained from sheep faeces returned to grazed pastures which have received long‐term annual sulphate applications for 15–20 years. Five freshly‐voided sheep faecal samples (<100 g moist faeces per sample) per sampling were randomly collected at approximately one month intervals over a one‐year growing season. Faeces were fractionated into total S, inorganic SO4 2‐, ester SO4 2‐, Hi‐reducible S and C‐bonded S. Results obtained showed that faecal total S, ester SO4 2‐ Hi‐reducible S and C‐bonded S fractions varied significantly throughout the year. Carbon‐bonded S was the dominant (>80%) faecal S fraction, regardless of faecal total S content or the time of year faecal samples were deposited. Faecal ester SO4 2‐ and inorganic _SO4 2‐fractions accounted for 3.3–7.1% and 0.1–14% of faecal total S respectively. Thus approximately 3.4–21.1% of faecal total S was estimated to be potentially leached or readily available to pasture plants. The Hi‐reducible faecal S fraction was significantly‐correlated (r = 0.59***; *** = P ≤ 0.001) with HCl‐extractable faecal inorganic S, which was considered to represent faecal total SO4 2‐ (ester SO4 2‐ and inorganic SO4 2‐ fractions).

The solubility of different faecal S fractions was determined by sequential extraction of ground (< 1 mm) faeces three times (30 minutes per extraction) with water or 0.01 M Ca(H2PO4)2 solution (1: 5 ratio of faecal DM: extractant). Both amounts of water‐extractable and Ca(H2PO4)‐extractable faecal S fractions were found to vary significantly throughout the year. Ca(H2PO4)2 tended to extract more inorganic faecal S than water, attributed to the presence of phosphate and the low pH (pH=4) of Ca(H2PO4)2 extractant. A significant proportion (15–25%) of faecal S was extracted by water and most (70%) of this water‐extractable faecal S was in the organic S fraction. Water‐extractable inorganic faecal S probably originated from the faecal total SO4 2‐ fraction as shown by their significant correlation (r = 0.45** ‐0.63***; ** = P≤ 0.01; *** = P≤ 0.001). Some of the faecal S in water extracts may also originate from the faecal C‐bonded S fraction, as a significant correlation was obtained between C‐bonded faecal S and either water‐extractable faecal organic S (r = 0.53–0.57***; *** = P ≤ 0.001) or water‐extractable faecal inorganic S (r = 0.40–0.41*; * = P ≤ 0.05).

Significant amounts of faecal inorganic SO4 2‐ and ester SO4 2‐ fractions were removed by Ca(H2PO4)2 extractant. The Ca(H2PO4)2‐extractable faecal inorganic S was significantly correlated (r = 0.73***; *** = P ≤ 0.001) with water‐extractable faecal inorganic S.  相似文献

Dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) constitutes half of the global carbonates. Thus, many calcareous soils have been developing rather from dolomitic rocks than from calcite (CaCO3)‐dominated limestone. We developed a physical fractionation procedure based on three fractionation steps, using sonication with subsequent density fractionation to separate soil organic matter (SOM) from dolomite‐derived soil constituents. The method avoids acidic pretreatment for destruction of carbonates but aims at separating out carbonate minerals according to density. The fractionation was tested on three soils developed on dolostone parent material (alluvial gravel and solid rock), differing in organic‐C (OC) and inorganic‐C (IC) concentrations and degree of carbonate weathering. Soil samples were suspended and centrifuged in Na‐polytungstate (SPT) solutions of increasing density, resulting in five different fractions: two light fractions < 1.8 g cm–3 (> 20 μm and < 20 μm), rich in OC and free of carbonate, and two organomineral fractions (1.8–2.4 g cm–3 and 2.4–2.6 g cm–3), containing 66–145 mg g–1 and 16–29 mg g–1 OC. The organomineral fractions consist of residual clay from carbonate weathering such as clay minerals and iron oxides associated with SOM. The fifth fraction (> 2.6 g cm–3) was dominated by dolomite (85%–95%). The density separation yielded fractions differing in mineral compositions, as well as in SOM, indicated by soil‐type‐specific OC distributions and decreasing OC : N ratios with increasing density of fractions. The presented method is applicable to a wide range of dolomitic and most likely to all other calcareous soils.  相似文献

Temperate saltmarshes are a potential source of atmospheric methane. We have measured the concentration and emission of methane in typical saltmarsh soils (Salic Fluvisols) and humus-rich saltmarsh soils (Thionic Fluvisols) from the German North Sea coast. We also measured the methane production rates of the latter. The methane content of typical saltmarsh soils reached 12.0 μmol 1?1, although values of 1–4 μmol 1?1 were usual. The sulphate concentrations of the pore-water were about 10 mm , which means sulphate reduction is not limited and methanogenesis would be suppressed. Methane concentrations were generally largest in summer. Independent of the redox potential and the degree of soil development, methane concentrations were smallest in those soils poorest in humus. Methane emission rates were almost zero. In the humus-rich saltmarsh soils, methane concentrations were roughly a thousand times larger than those in typical saltmarsh soils, reaching values of 23 mmol 1?1 The sulphate concentrations of the pore-water were often less than 1 mM, indicating limited sulphate reduction. Methane production was up to 80 μg cm?3 day?1 and was not inhibited when we added sulphate. Methane emission rates reached up to 190 μg m?2 day?1 in summer, with values up to 20 μg m?2 day?1 at other times. The two kinds of saltmarsh soil behave quite differently: the typical saltmarsh soils act as a sink for methane; the humus-rich saltmarsh soils are a source.  相似文献

The dynamic of different soil C and N fractions in a Cambisol under succession fallow was investigated from June 1996 until May 2001. Mineral soil samples (0 – 10 and 10 – 30 cm) were analyzed for their concentrations of organic C (Corg), total N (Nt), hot water extractable C and N (HWC and HWN), and KCl extractable C and N (Corg(KCl), Norg(KCl), NH4+‐N, NO3–‐N). The values of all C and N fractions revealed a distinct depth gradient. While the concentrations of Corg increased after set aside significantly from 7.7 to 8.9 g kg–1 at 0 – 10 cm, those at 10 – 30 cm depth decreased from 7.2 to 6.1 g kg–1. Nt remained rather constant throughout the whole observation period. The HWC concentrations increased from 0.33 to 0.49 g kg–1, while HWN decreased slightly at 0 – 10 cm with time. In contrast, both HWC and HWN increased at 10 – 30 cm soil depth. HWC showed close significant correlations to Corg, and HWN to Nt as well as to NH4+‐N and NO3–‐N, respectively. In comparison to hot water‐extractable C and N, Corg(KCl) and Norg(KCl) accounted only about one tenth of those and showed a decreasing trend with time of succession. C : N ratio of the KCl fraction was in the same order of magnitude as the HWC : HWN ratio, except the last phase of the experiment where hot water extract values increased above 10.  相似文献

To investigate the potential of synchrotron‐based X‐ray Absorption Near‐Edge Structure spectroscopy (XANES) at the sulphur (S) K‐edge for a discrimination of adsorbed and precipitated sulphate in soils and soil particles, XANES spectra of ionic sulphate compounds and Al/Fe hydroxy sulphate minerals were compared with spectra of SO42? adsorbed to ferrihydrite, goethite, haematite, gibbsite or allophane. Ionic sulphate and hydroxy sulphate precipitates had broader white‐lines (WL) at 2482.5 eV (full width at half maximum (FWHM) of edge‐normalized spectra, 2.4–4.2 eV; Al hydroxy sulphates, 3.0 eV) than SO42? adsorbed to Al/Fe oxyhydroxides or allophane (FWHM, 1.8–2.4 eV). The ratio of the white‐line (WL) height to the height of the post‐edge feature at 2499 eV (WL/PEF) was larger for SO42? adsorbed to Al/Fe oxyhydroxides or allophane (8.1–11.9) than for Al/Fe hydroxy sulphates and ionic sulphates (3.9–5.7). The WL/PEF ratio of edge‐normalized S K‐edge XANES spectra can be used to distinguish adsorbed from precipitated SO42? in soils and also at microsites of soil particles. The contribution of adsorbed and precipitated SO42? to the total SO42? pool can be roughly quantified. Adsorbed ester sulphate may result in overestimation of precipitated SO42?. The spectra of most soils could be fitted by linear combination fitting (LCF), yielding a similar partitioning between adsorbed and precipitated SO42? as an evaluation of the WL/PEF ratio. The SO42? pool of German forest soils on silicate parent material in most cases was strongly dominated by adsorbed SO42?; however, in three German forest soils subject to elevated atmospheric S deposition, a considerable portion of the SO42? pool was precipitated SO42?, most likely Al hydroxy sulphate. The same is true for Nicaraguan Eutric and Vitric Andosols subject to high volcanogenic S input. In the subsoil of the Vitric Andosol, adsorbed SO42? and Al hydroxy sulphate coexist on a micron scale.  相似文献

Soils and vegetation of the coastal zone of the Khaipudyr Bay of the Barents Sea have been examined and compared with analogous objects in the Karelian coastal zone of the White Sea. The environmental conditions of these two areas are somewhat different: the climate of the Khaipudyr Bay coast is more severe, and the seawater salinity is higher (32–33‰ in the Khaipudyr Bay and 25–26‰ in the White Sea). The soil cover patterns of both regions are highly variable. Salt-affected marsh soils (Tidalic Fluvisols) are widespread. The complicated mesotopography includes high geomorphic positions that are not affected by tidal water. Under these conditions, zonal factors of pedogenesis predominate and lead to the development of Cryic Folic Histosols and Histic Reductaquic Cryosols. On low marshes, the concentrations of soluble Ca2+, K+ + Na+, Cl–, and SO2-4 ions in the soils of the Khaipudyr Bay coast are two to four times higher than those in the analogous soils of Karelian coast. Cluster analysis of a number of soil characteristics allows separation of three soils groups: soils of low marshes, soils of middle-high marshes, and soils of higher positions developing under the impact of zonal factors together with the aerial transfer and deposition of seawater drops. The corresponding plant communities are represented by coastal sedge cenoses, forb–grassy halophytic cenoses, and zonal cenoses of hypoarctic tundra. It is argued that the grouping of marsh soils in the new substantivegenetic classification system of Russian soils requires further elaboration.  相似文献

The effect of the current block structure of the earth’s crust and its most active sites (morphostructural nodes) on the natural hydrocarbon status of alluvial soils has been considered. Studies have been performed in the Istra district of Moscow oblast within the Istra morphostructural node. The node represents an area of increased geodynamic activity of the earth’s crust located at the convergence or intersection of block boundaries: mobile linear zones following large river valleys with alluvial soils. Soil cover mainly consists of alluvial humic-gley soils (Eutric Gleyic Fluvisols) of different depths and alluvial mucky-gley soils (Eutric Gleyic Histic Fluvisols). Some soils manifest stratification. Two factors forming the hydrocarbon status of soils are considered: soil processes and the effect of geodynamic activity, which is manifested within the morphostructural node. The contents of bitumoids and retained methane and butanes in alluvial soils appreciably increase at the entry of river valley into the node. The occurrence frequency of 5–6-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (perylene and benzo[ghi]perylene) in mineral horizons increases. It has been concluded that alluvial soils within the Istra morphostructural node are characterized by the biogeochemical type of hydrocarbon status with signs of emanation type at sites with the highest geodynamic activity.  相似文献

Sulphate sorption on to the surface of short‐range ordered minerals and precipitation of Al‐hydroxy sulphate contribute to the acid neutralizing capacity of soils. The correct measurement of total inorganic sulphate is thus essential in soils that are accumulating SO42– anions. We extracted SO42– by various solutions, namely 0.005 m Ca(NO3)2, 0.016 m KH2PO4, 0.5 m NH4F and 0.2 m acidic NH4‐oxalate (pH 3), from Vitric and Eutric Andosols exposed to prolonged deposition of acid and SO2 from an active volcano (Masaya, Nicaragua). We attributed sulphate extractable by KH2PO4 (20–3030 mg kg?1) to anion‐exchangeable SO42–, which was much smaller than NH4F‐ and oxalate‐extractable SO42– (400–9680 and 410–10 480 mg kg?1, respectively). Our results suggest the occurrence of a sparingly soluble Al‐hydroxy‐mineral phase extractable by both NH4F and oxalate. The formation of Al‐hydroxy minerals would result from the combination of enhanced weathering caused by strong acid loading and simultaneous occurrence of large SO42– concentrations in soil solution. Oxalate extracted slightly more inorganic SO42– than did NH4F, this additional amount of SO42– correlating strongly with oxalate‐extractable Si and Fe contents. Preferential occlusion of SO42– by short‐range ordered minerals, especially ferrihydrite, explains this behaviour. If we exclude the contribution of occluded sulphate then oxalate and NH4F mobilize similar amounts of SO42– and are believed to mobilize all of the inorganic SO42– pool.  相似文献

Sorption of organic chemicals in soil is affected by the properties and availability of surfaces. These surfaces are composed of diverse mineral, organic and biological components, forming a soil's ‘biogeochemical interface’. Phenanthrene was used to probe the hydrophobic sorptive capacity of the interface of an arable soil. Batch sorption experiments were carried out with the bulk soil as well as the fine (0.2–6.3 µm) and coarse (6.3–63 µm) particle size fractions of two arable topsoil samples with different organic matter (OM) contents from a Eutric Cambisol. The specific surface area (SSA) of the bulk soil and particle size fractions was determined by BET‐N2 and EGME sorption. OM composition was characterized by solid‐state 13C NMR spectroscopy. No clear relationship was found between phenanthrene sorption and SSA. We conclude that phenanthrene probes a specific fraction of the soil interface that is not well represented by the traditional methods of SSA detection such as BET‐N2 and EGME sorption. The sorption behaviour of phenanthrene may therefore provide a useful additional tool to characterize the specific affinity of the soil biogeochemical interface for hydrophobic molecules. Sorption capacity for phenanthrene increased after particle‐size fractionation, indicating that the reduced availability of the interface caused by the aggregated structure is important for the sorptive capacity of a soil. This should be considered when projecting data obtained from extensively treated and fractionated samples to the actual interaction with biogeochemical interfaces as they are present in soil.  相似文献

Preferential flow in soil can enhance the leaching of agricultural chemicals. In a number of studies it has been shown that the mobile‐immobile solute transport model (MIM) is a useful tool to characterize preferential flow. In the present study, a new laboratory method for determining the MIM parameters θm and θim (mobile and immobile water content), as well as α (mass transfer coefficient), is developed. The computations are uncomplicated and the method requires only simple equipment. It is applied to short, undisturbed soil columns. Measured values ranged from 0.11 to 0.27 for θim θ—1 and from 0.015 h—1 to 0.034 h—1 for α for an Iowan soil (Nicollet silt loam). For two sandy Eutric Gleysols from Germany, low values for θim θ—1 from 0.04 to 0.07 and from 0.001 h—1 to 0.008 h—1 for α were determined. Although the new method is a flow‐interruption technique, values for the Nicollet silt loam compare well with those from conventional leaching experiments. Values for the Eutric Gleysols agree with the observation that these soils were poorly structured. Because the new method does not assume negligible dispersion, it is applicable to a wider range of soils and boundary conditions than comparable approaches. We conclude that the new method provides parameter values that are suited to describe non‐equilibrium solute transport.  相似文献

In regions with little atmospheric input of sulphur (S) and S‐poor parent material, the bio‐availability of S, which is dependent on its speciation, may limit ecosystem production and succession. In our study, soil S speciation in two glacier forefield soil chronosequences (Hailuogou Glacier, Gongga Shan, China; Damma Glacier, Swiss Alps) was investigated for the first time. Different S species were quantified by synchrotron‐based X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy at the S K‐edge. Both chronosequences show similar patterns and pedogenetic trends of their topsoil S status. Topsoil concentrations of total S were correlated with the concentrations of organic carbon and pedogenic Fe/Al oxyhydroxides. Both moraine materials contained inorganic sulphides, which in the topsoil were oxidized within 30 (Hailuogou) or 75 years (Damma) of soil development after deglaciation. About 50% of total S in the fresh moraine material at Hailuogou and 75% of that in the 15 year‐old soil at Damma was organically‐bound. During initial soil development, the contribution of organic S to total S increased at the expense of inorganic sulphide and sulphate, resulting in organic S percentages > 90% of total topsoil S after 30 (Hailuogou) and 75 (Damma) years of pedogenesis. Organic S compounds with electronic oxidation states of the S atom > + 1.5 (sulphoxides, sulphones, sulphonates and ester sulphates) dominated the organic S pool in all soils. Hence, microbial degradation of non‐sulphide organic S (sulphonates and ester sulphates) is probably important to mitigate S scarcity caused by limited availability of SO42?‐S in these soils. Changes in topsoil S speciation during initial stages of pedogenesis and ecosystem succession in glacier forefields under a cool, humid climate appear to be governed by combined effects of mineral weathering (oxidation of inorganic sulphides and formation of S‐adsorbing sesquioxides), accumulation and microbial turnover of soil organic matter and the type of vegetation succession.  相似文献

It is generally accepted that particulate organic matter derives from plants. In contrast, the enriched labile fraction is thought by many to derive from microbes, especially fungi. However, no detailed chemical characterization of these fractions has been done. In this study, we wanted to assess the sources (plants or microbes; fungi or bacteria) and degree of microbial alteration of (i) three particulate organic matter fractions – namely the free light fraction (1.85 g cm?3), the coarse (250–2000 μm) and the fine (53–250 μm) intra‐aggregate particulate organic matter fractions – and of (ii) three density fractions of fine‐silt associated carbon – namely < 2.0, 2.0–2.2 (i.e. enriched labile fraction) and > 2.2 g cm?3– by analysing the amino sugars, by CuO oxidation analyses, and by 13C‐, 1H‐ and 31P‐NMR analyses. Macroaggregates (250–2000 μm) were separated by wet‐sieving from a former grassland soil now under a no‐tillage arable regime. The three particulate organic matter fractions and the three density fractions were isolated from the macroaggregates by a combination of density flotation, sonication and sieving techniques. Proton NMR spectroscopy on alkaline extracts showed that the enriched labile fraction is not of microbial origin but is strongly degraded plant material that is enriched in aliphatic moieties partly bound to aromatics. In addition, the enriched labile fraction had a glucosamine content less than the whole soil, indicating that it is not enriched in carbon derived from fungi. Decreasing yields of phenolic CuO oxidation products and increasing side‐chain oxidation in the order coarse intra‐aggregate particulate organic matter < fine inter‐aggregate particulate organic matter < fine‐silt fractions indicate progressive alteration of lignin as particle size decreases. The light fraction was more decomposed than the coarse inter‐aggregate particulate organic matter, as indicated by (i) its larger ratio of acid‐to‐aldehyde of the vanillyl units released by CuO oxidation, (ii) the smaller contribution of H in carbohydrates to total extractable H as estimated by 1H‐NMR spectroscopy, and (iii) a larger contribution of monoester P to total extractable P in the 31P‐NMR spectra. In conclusion, the four fractions are derived predominantly from plants, but microbial alteration increased as follows: coarse inter‐aggregate particulate organic matter < light fraction ≈ fine inter‐aggregate particulate organic matter < enriched labile fraction.  相似文献

The response of microbial biomass carbon (Cmic), nitrogen (Nmic), basal respiration, and the metabolic quotient to 3 years of a natural succession fallow were studied in a field experiment on sandy soil in Northeast Saxony/Germany from 1996 to 1998. Soil samples were taken from Eutric Cambisol and Mollic Cambisol every six weeks during the vegetation period at soil depths of 0—10 and 10—30 cm. The Cmic content in the topsoils increased with time of succession in both soil types. This trend was more distinct in the Mollic Cambisol (70.7 μg g—1 in June 1996 to 270.9 μg g—1 in October 1998 at 0—10 cm) than in the Eutric Cambisol (69.7 μg g—1 in June 1996 to 175.0 μg g—1 in October 1998 at 0—10 cm). By contrast, the Nmic content slightly decreased in the Eutric Cambisol from 18.9 μg g—1 to 17.7 μg g—1 during the same time period. In the Mollic Cambisol, the Nmic increased from 18.8 μg g—1 in spring 1996 to 35.5 μg g—1 in fall 1998, however to a lower extent than the Cmic. Subsequently, the (C:N)mic ratio increased from 4.3 to 5.8 at soil depth of 0—10 cm and from 3.5 to 6.5 at 10—30 cm during the 3‐year‐study at the Eutric Cambisol. In the Mollic Cambisol, the enhancement of (C:N)mic ratio was more pronounced (i.e. from 4.3 to 6.7 at 0—10 cm and from 3.5 to 7.2 at 10—30 cm). Most likely this results from a shift in microbial populations towards a dominance of soil fungi. The already low basal respiration of, on average, 0.26 mg CO2 g—1 (24h)—1 (0—10 cm) in June 1996 decreased with time of succession fallow to 0.15 and 0.22 mg CO2 g—1 (24h)—1 in October 1998 in the Eutric and the Mollic Cambisol, respectively. Thus, the metabolic quotient as an indicator for the efficiency of organic matter turnover in soil was very low in both soils. During the summer months, the metabolic quotients reached minimum levels of ≤ 0.1 μg CO2 C (g Cmic)—1 h—1, probably because of low soil moisture contents. Correlation analyses revealed close relationships between Nmic and total N, Nmic and water content, and Nmic and pH values. These relationships became even more pronounced with the time period of natural succession. For the samples from fall 1998, highly significant correlations were determined between Nmic and total N (coefficients were rs = 0.91***), Nmic and water content (rs = 0.91***), and Nmic and pH value (rs = 0.76***). The values for all biological parameters studied were larger in the Mollic than in the Eutric Cambisol. This indicates higher turnover rates of different C and N fractions in the Mollic Cambisol. In general, set aside of formerly agricultural managed sandy soils resulted in greater Cmic : Nmic ratios and thus, in a change in the microbiological community structure as well as in reduced C and N turnover rates (i.e. low metabolic quotient) under the climatic conditions of the East German lowlands.  相似文献

A reliable method for the isolation of a stable fraction of soil organic carbon (SOC) would be very helpful for improving our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for stabilization of SOC and the dynamics of SOC turnover. We tested acid hydrolysis, physical fractionation (particle density/size), photo‐oxidation, treatment with chemical oxidants (NaOCl and NaS2O8) and thermal treatment on two soils incubated with 14C‐labelled barley straw for either 40 days or 40 years. Different intensities of the treatments were included. Acid hydrolysis, photo‐oxidation and treatment with a chemical oxidant consistently removed more 40‐year‐old C than 40‐day‐old C, which suggests that the isolated fractions contained a large proportion of material with a relatively rapid turnover. The clay + silt associated SOC fraction contained a small proportion of 40‐day‐old C and a large proportion of 40‐year‐old C. This is consistent with a SOC fraction with medium turnover. The thermal treatment removed more 40‐year‐old C than 40‐day‐old C. At 400°C there was still a small proportion of the 40‐year‐old C remaining, whereas almost all the 40‐day‐old C was removed. This is consistent with a stable SOC fraction. However, because only 2–3% of the C remained after this treatment, the isolated SOC fraction may be of little quantitative importance. Furthermore, the thermally resistant fraction is likely to be heavily altered by the treatment, and therefore unsuitable for further studies of the chemical nature of stable SOC.  相似文献

The turnover of organic matter determines the availability of plant nutrients in unfertilized soils, and this applies particularly to the alkaline saline soil of the former Lake Texcoco in Mexico. We investigated the effects of alkalinity and salinity on dynamics of organic material and inorganic N added to the soil. Glucose labelled with 14C was added to soil of the former Lake Texcoco drained for different lengths of time, and dynamics of 14C, C and N were investigated with the Detran model. Soil was sampled from an undrained plot and from three drained for 1, 5 and 8 years, amended with 1000 mg 14C‐labelled glucose kg?1 and 200 mg NH4+‐N kg?1, and incubated aerobically. Production of 14CO2 and CO2, dynamics of NH4+, NO2– and NO3–, and microbial biomass 14C, C and N were monitored and simulated with the Detran model. A third stable microbial biomass fraction had to be introduced in the model to simulate the dynamics of glucose, because > 90 mg 14C kg?1 soil persisted in the soil microbial biomass after 97 days. The observed priming effect was mostly due to an increased decay of soil organic matter, but an increased turnover of the microbial biomass C contributed somewhat to the phenomenon. The dynamics of NH4+ and NO3– in the NH4+‐amended soil could not be simulated unless an immobilization of NH4+ into the microbial biomass occurred in the first day of the incubation without an immediate incorporation of it into microbial organic material. The dynamics of C and a priming effect could be simulated satisfactorily, but the model had to be adjusted to simulate the dynamics of N when NH4+ was added to alkaline saline soils.  相似文献

The aim was to quantify medium term litter type and litter mixture effects on the translocation and transformation dynamics of root and leaf litter C during decomposition. Partitioning of 13C-labeled root or leaf litter C (beech – Fagus sylvatica L., ash – Fraxinus excelsior L.) to CO2, water-extractable organic C (WEOC), microbial biomass C (CMB) and light (LF) and heavy soil fraction (HF) was determined in a laboratory decomposition experiment of 206 days. The proportions of C mineralized from ash leaf (34%) and root litter (29%) were higher than those from beech leaf (24%) and root litter (23%). In mixture with beech, the mineralization of ash leaf litter was enhanced. Mineralization was positively correlated with litter-derived WEOC until day 29. Water-extractable organic C declined with time, until <0.1% of litter C remained in this fraction. Litter-C recovery in CMB was higher for ash (0.7–1.0%) than for beech (0.2–0.4%). The litter C recovery in HF (4–12%) was positively correlated with that in WEOC (days 9 and 29) and CMB, but did not differ between treatments. Ash leaf litter mineralization showed different behavior in mixed treatments from pure treatments. Thus, the ability to transfer results from pure to mixed treatments is limited. The litter differed in chemical composition and in mineralization dynamics, but differences in partitioning to HF, WEOC and MB were finally of minor importance.  相似文献
