Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in acid‐sensitive upland waters is dominated by allochthonous inputs from organic‐rich soils, yet inter‐site variability in soil DOC release to changes in acidity has received scant attention in spite of the reported differences between locations in surface water DOC trends over the last few decades. In a previous paper, we demonstrated that pH‐related retention of DOC in O horizon soils was influenced by acid‐base status, particularly the exchangeable Al content. In the present paper, we investigate the effect of sulphate additions (0–437 µeq l?1) on DOC release in the mineral B horizon soils from the same locations. Dissolved organic carbon release decreased with declining pH in all soils, although the shape of the pH‐DOC relationships differed between locations, reflecting the multiple factors controlling DOC mobility. The release of DOC decreased by 32–91% in the treatment with the largest acid input (437 µeq l?1), with the greatest decreases occurring in soils with very small % base saturation (BS, < 3%) and/or large capacity for sulphate (SO42?) retention (up to 35% of added SO42?). The greatest DOC release occurred in the soil with the largest initial base status (12% BS). These results support our earlier conclusions that differences in acid‐base status between soils alter the sensitivity of DOC release to similar sulphur deposition declines. However, superimposed on this is the capacity of mineral soils to sorb DOC and SO42?, and more work is needed to determine the fate of sorbed DOC under conditions of increasing pH and decreasing SO42?.  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

A freshwater wetland at the Experimental Lakes Area in northwestern Ontario stored most of the SO4 2? received annually from precipitation, runoff and experimental additions. The S budget was determined for a small fen spray irrigated with H2SO4 and HNO3. Annual S retention was greatest during the first year of experimental addition of H2SO4 (73% of input in 1983). Retention was lowest (22%) in 1984, a year of lower than average precipitation with a long hot summer. During years with hot, dry summers, SO4 2? was produced from the reoxidation of reduced S compounds in the peat and released to surface waters. The autumn SO4 2? pulse was accompanied by the release of Ca and Mg but was not accompanied by a H+ release as has been detected in eastern Ontario and southern Norway, areas which receive more acidic precipitation.  相似文献

Discharge to concentration relationships for eight streams studied by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (U.S. EPA) Long-Term Monitoring Project (1983–89) indicate acidification of some streams by H2SO4 and HNO3 in atmospheric deposition and by organic acids in soils. Concentrations of major ions in precipitation were similar to those reported at other sites in the northeastern United States. Average concentrations of SO4 2? and NO3 ? were similar among streams, but base cation concentrations differed widely, and these differences paralleled the differences in acid neutralizing capacity (ANC). Baseflow ANC is not a reliable predictor of stream acidity at high flow; some streams with high baseflow ANC (>150 Μeq L?1) declined to near zero ANC at high flow, and one stream with low baseflow ANC (<50 Μeq L?1) did not approach zero ANC as flow increased. Episodic decreases in ANC and pH during peak flows were associated with increased concentrations of NO3 ? and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Aluminum concentrations exceeding 300 Μg L?1 were observed during peak flows in headwater streams of the Neversink River and Rondout Creek. Seasonal Kendall Tau tests for temporal trends indicate that SO4 2? concentrations in streamwater generally decreased and NO3 ? concentrations increased during the period 1983–1989. Combined acid anion concentrations (SO4 2? + NO3 ?) were generally unchanged throughout the period of record, indicating both that the status of these streams with respect to acidic deposition is unchanged, and that NO3 ? is gradually replacing SO4 2? as the dominant acid anion in the Catskill streams.  相似文献

The study aimed at evaluating whether salt-induced mobilization of acidity may be modified by the type of anion. For this purpose, the effects of different neutral salts on the solution composition of acid soils were investigated. The results were compared with those of the addition of acids. Two topsoil (E and A) and two subsoil horizons (Bs and Bw) were treated with NaCl, Na2SO4, MgCl2, MgSO4, HCl, and H2SO4 at concentrations ranging from 0 to 10 mmol dm?3. With increasing inputs of Cl? the pH of the equilibrium soil solution dropped, the concentrations of Al and Ca increased, and the molar Ca/(Al3+ + AlOH2+ + Al(OH)2+) ratios decreased. These effects were the least pronounced when NaCl was added and the most at the HCl treatments. According to the release of acidity, the topsoils were more sensitive for salt-induced soil solution acidification whereas on base of the molar Ca/(Al3+ + AlOH2+ + Al(OH)2+) ratios, the salt effect seems to be more important for the subsoils. Addition of S042? salts and H2SO4 induced higher pH and lower Al concentrations than the corresponding Cl? treatments due to the SO42? sorption, especially in the subsoils. The Ca/(Al3+ + AlOH2+ + Al(OH)2+) ratios were higher than those of the corresponding Cl? treatments. In subsoils even after H2SO4 additions these ratios were not higher than those of the NaCl treatments. The results indicate (I) that speculation about the effects of episodic salt concentrations enhancement on soil solution acidification not only need to consider the ionic strength and the cation type but also the anion type, (II) that salt-induced soil solution composition may be more crucial in subsoils than in topsoils, and (III) that in acid soils ongoing input of HNO3 due to the precipitation load may induce an even more acidic soil solution than the inputs of H2SO4 of the last decade.  相似文献

Blanket‐bog peats, mapped as the Winter Hill and Crowdy associations by the Soil Survey of England and Wales, are an oceanic manifestation of the ombrotrophic ‘raised‐bog’ (Hochmoor) peats that cover large tracts in the boreal zone of the northern hemisphere. This paper examines monthly analyses from 1992 to 1997 of major ions and other variables from an upland blanket bog in southwest England in relation to seasonality, rainfall, and the chemical composition of rainwater. Average ionic composition of surface water (and peat) integrates variable atmospheric solute inputs over the years. The dominant ions in the surface water, Na+ and Cl–, showed only weak seasonality, but divalent cations a stronger seasonal pattern with a summer maximum. Mean pH ranged from c. 4.4 in February to c. 4.2 in August. Changes in concentration of different cations were closely interlinked by cation exchange. The anion deficit, accounted for by anionic groups on the dissolved organic matter, was strongly seasonal with a summer maximum, as was optical absorbance at 320 nm. Nitrate and NH4+ were both at much smaller concentrations than in rain. Nitrate exceeded 1 μmol l?1 only during cold periods in winter, mainly following drought in the summer of 1995; NH4+ reached a few μmol l?1 only in summer. There was evidence of net retention of S by the peat in wet sites and during wet periods, and of net release of SO42– (and acidity) under dry conditions. The 1995 summer drought and ensuing dry year in 1996 had marked and persistent effects on pH, apparent ion deficit (DEF), SO42–, the divalent cations and Fe.  相似文献

Acidic groundwaters and soils in Halland County (Hailands län), southwest Sweden, have been investigated with respect to conditions of soluble aluminium (Al) and sulphate (SO4 2?. Basic Al-sulphate, Fe-oxide, Al-oxide, Al-hydroxide and clay minerals, are discussed and evaluated in their roles for governing Al and SO4 2? in the groundwaters. Based on this investigation, it is suggested that Al3+ solubility is controlled by amorphous Al-hydroxide. The SO4 2? in the groundwaters will depend primarily on the H2SO4 input. The H2SO4 load enhances soil mineral weathering which enhances the production of Fe-oxides, i.e. anion exchange surface sites, to which groundwater SO4 2? attain adsorption equilibra. The factors that control solubility of Al and SO4 2? are both influenced by the acidity in the soil catenas which in the area largely depend on the H2SO4 input. Clay minerals such as illite, smectites, halloysite, and variable composition Al-silicates do not exert strong control on Al in the groundwaters investigated.  相似文献

The potential for sulfate retention is an important soil feature for buffering of atmospheric acid deposition. We studied the effects of increasing additions of different neutral salts and acids on mobilization and retention of SO4 2- in acid forest soils. Soils containing up to 11 mmol SO4 2- kg-1 were equilibrated with H2O, NaCl, MgCl2, and HCl. Release of SO4 2- was highest with H2O and NaCl additions and lowest when HCl was used. Increasing the ionic strength of the added solutions caused decreasing SO4 2- concentrations in equilibrium solution. Decreasing pH in equilibrium solution was found to be the reason for the decrease in release. Even when the pH was < 4, the SO4 2- release decreased. We assume that this finding resulted from the fact that in the soils studied the SO4 2- sorption was controlled by the high contents of Fe oxides/hydroxides. Experiments with Na2SO4, MgSO4, and H2SO4 demonstrated that the B horizons already containing high amounts of SO4 2- were still able to retain SO4 2-. Sulfate retention increased in the order Na2SO4 < MgSO4 < H2SO4, which corresponds to increasing H+ availability. The higher SO4 2- retention along with MgSO4 compared to Na2SO4 may be caused by higher potential of Mg to mobilize soil acidity compared to Na.  相似文献

Atmospheric deposition and surface water chemistry have been monitored intensively at 5 geologically “sensitive” sites in southeastern Canada. The sites receive differing acid inputs that span the entire range found in Canada. Surface water data collected at 9 stations from 1981 to 1993 for SO 4 2? , NO 3 ? , Alkalinity, DOC, pH, Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been analyzed to detect monotonic trends. Similarities between the temporal patterns and trends for SO 4 2? in deposition and surface water suggest that they are strongly linked at our sites. Our 13-year datasets showed significant negative SO 4 2? trends at the 3 Ontario sites and a positive trend in Nova Scotia. A climatically-induced SO 4 2? increase in northwestern Ontario has been reversed. Mobilization and export of adsorbed SO 4 2? and/or reoxidized S from the basins of central Ontario sites is delaying their recovery. Two of our 9 stations (in Quebec and central Ontario) are continuing to acidify. The 2 Nova Scotia stations have the highest DOC levels and both exhibit a decreasing trend. Ionic compensation for declining SO 4 2? varies from station to station, sometimes involving an Alk increase, sometimes a base cation decrease, and sometimes more complex combinations. Additional factors (e.g. climatic variation) also influence variable trends, and data records longer than those presently available will be needed to unequivocally verify acidification recovery.  相似文献

Sulphate sorption by variable charge soils   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
The sorption of sulphate (SO2?4) by three variable charge soils from the Canary Islands (Spain) was studied. Sulphate sorption decreased with increasing pH. Only negligible amounts of SO2?4 were sorbed above pH 6.5. When the soils were washed with an indifferent electrolyte (0.01 M KCl), more SO2?4 was recovered than had been sorbed. This indicated a release of native SO2?4 Sulphate replaced hydroxyl ions (OH) and co-ordinated H2O molecules, as well as very small amounts of silicate (Si). No measurable amount of phosphate (P) was released. On average hydroxyl release accounted for 50% of SO2?4 sorbed, the rest being accounted for by the increase in negative charge as measured by K+ adsorption. The results presented here are consistent with the sorption of SO2?4 through a ligand exchange mechanism, but in a different plane of sorption to that of phosphate.  相似文献

Abstract

Gypsum (CaSO4 · 2H2O) is used in agriculture both as a source of calcium (Ca) and sulphate (SO4 2?) and as an amendment to improve soil structure. The effect of gypsum on the adsorption of SO4 2? in irrigated and nonirrigated soils was examined. Almost all of the indigenous sulphate (SO4) in a range of Golesthan and North Khorasan soils with moderate pH values (>6) was found to be present in the soil solution and, as a consequence, was highly susceptible to leaching. The adsorption of sulphate to the soils receiving no gypsum was greater with correlation coefficient of r=0.91 at 0 kg S ha?1 as compared to the soils received 40 kg ha?1 of gypsum as fertilizer with the value of r=0.88 in Golesthan Province. The same trend was observed in Khorasan Province with r=0.79 and r=0.75 with soils receiving 0 and 40 kg S ha?1, respectively. The results were more pronounced in irrigated fields for both provinces. The amount of sulphate adsorption in Golesthan Province soils was comparatively greater than soils of Khorasan Province. The results raise questions regarding the efficiency of SO4‐containing fertilizers in correcting and preventing S deficiency in situations where leaching is a concern.  相似文献

Retention of S04 2? was investigated in Galician soils throughout an intense regime of acidification. Experiments consisted of the addition of an H2SO4 solution (pH 2.7) to columns of 6 soils of contrasting properties over 1, 2, or 5 months. Leachates were obtained continuously throughout the experiment for analysis, and analysis made of the solid fractions after 1, 2 or 5 months. The greatest capacities for retention of S04 2? were found in soil developed from serpentine and micaschist; the lowest in soils from granite, slate and sandy sediments. The surface horizons, especially those rich in organic matter, displayed low retention of 5042-. The amount of S04 2? adsorbed throughout the experiment depended on the content of crystalline forms of Fe and with the Fe and Al extracted with dithionite-citrate.The low retention of S04 2? in the organic horizons and the slightly negative relation with the organic matter suggest an inhibitory effect of the organic matter on the S04 2? retention process. Results of the study show, that under conditions of moderate acidity, SO4 2? retention occurs in the form of adsorption; in strongly acidic conditions, the precipitation of aluminium-sulphate minerals may provide an additional retention mechanism.  相似文献

Abstract

Corn (Zea mays L.) grown on sandy Coastal Plain soils may be subject to sulfur (S) deficiency due to the low levels of available S in the soil. The diagnosis of S deficiency in the field is sometimes ambiguous since mineralization of soil organic matter or root growth into the subsoil may supply adequate S to the crop. Yield response to S fertilizers has been more frequent since incidental additions of S to the soil by air pollution and fertilizer applications have been reduced. This study was conducted to identify S deficiency in corn grown on sandy Coastal Plain soils and to determine the effects of S source, rate and method of application on grain yield. Irrigated corn was grown on Norfolk loamy sand and Tifton loamy sand near Leesburg and Moultrie, Georgia, respectively in 1987. Grain yields were increased with addition of 11 kg S ha‐1 compared to the check treatment. Increased rates of S up to 88 kg ha‐1 did not increase grain yields above the 11 kg ha‐1 rate. There was no difference between banded or broadcast application of (NH4)2SO4 or between elemental S and (NH4)2SO4 as S sources. Earleaf S concentrations of 1.6 g kg‐1 and extractable soil S concentrations of 4.0 to 8.7 mg kg‐1 were associated with S deficiency. Visual symtoms of S deficiency were observed in the check treatments throughout the growing season at both experimental sites. The results indicate that visual symptoms and tissue analysis can be used to identify S deficiency. Extractable soil S may be useful in determining the possible response to S fertilizer especially if the subsoil is sampled.  相似文献

Abstract: In recent years, sulfur (S) deficiencies in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have become more common, particularly on coarse‐textured soils. In Study I, field experiments were conducted in 2001/2002 through 2003/2004 on Mississippi River alluvial soils (Experiment I) and an upland, loessial silt loam (Experiment II) to evaluate the influence of spring S rates of 0, 5.6, 11.2, and 22.4 kg ha?1 and a fall rate of 22.4 kg sulfate (SO4)‐S ha?1 on grain yield of three varieties. In Study II, field experiments were conducted in 2001/2002 and 2004/2005 on alluvial soils to evaluate the influence of spring S rates of 0, 5.6, 11.2, and 22.4 kg SO4‐S ha?1 in fields where S‐deficiency symptoms were present. Grain yield response to applied S occurred only on alluvial, coarse‐textured, very fine sandy loam soils (Study II) that had soil SO4‐S levels less than the critical level of 8 mg kg?1 and organic‐matter contents less than 1 g kg?1 in the 0‐ to 15‐, 15‐ to 30‐, and 30‐ to 45‐cm depths. Soil pH increased with soil depth. Optimum S rate was 11.2 kg SO4‐S ha?1 in 2001/2002 and 5.6 kg SO4‐S ha?1 in 2004/2005. On the upland, loessial silt loam soil, soil SO4‐S levels accumulated with depth, whereas organic‐matter content and pH decreased. In the loessial soils, average soil SO4‐S levels in the 15‐ to 30‐ and 30‐ to 45‐cm soil depths were 370% greater than SO4‐S in the surface horizon (0 to 15 cm).  相似文献

A large data base on inland lakes in the Upper Great Lakes Region (UGLR) was used to evaluate assumptions and relationships of empirical acidification models. Improved methods to calculate background alkalinity and background SO4 2? are reported; SO4 2? enrichment factors indicate that terrestrial SO4 2? sources and watershed or lake sinks must be considered for site-specific background SO4 2? estimates. Significant relationships were found between lake acidification estimated as change in SO4 2? and precipitation acidity but not between changes in lake alkalinity and precipitation acidity in this lightly impacted region.  相似文献

Total S, extractable SO4, and SO4? retention capacity were determined in a range of soils covering the dominant soil groups in Portugal which are expected to show S deficiency. Total S was relatively low (83–435 mg S kg?1) in all soils and KH2PO4? extractable SO4 was, in general, low for plant growth, ranging from 0.9 to 32.2 mg S kg?1. SO4? retention capacity ranged from ?33.1 to 64.7 mg S kg?1 and was negative in many (14 out of 20) of the soils. Most of the soils are expected to be S deficient and show extensive leaching of SO4. Other selected soil properties that may affect the chemistry of SO4 were determined. A highly significant simple correlation was obtained between SO4 adsorbed and extractable Al by the Mehra and Jackson method (CDB-Al) (r = 0.74; P < 0.001). A multiple regression which included silt improved the correlation of SO4 adsorbed with CDB-Al (r = 0.79; P < 0.001).  相似文献

Abstract

Sulfate (SO4 2‐) is present in soils as salts of various metals, and the different metals associated with sulfate may influence adsorption of SO4 2‐by soils. The analytical method used for determination of SO4 2‐could be affected by the type of metal associated with the SO4 2‐. Four analytical methods based on different principles were evaluated for determination of SO4 2‐in different metal salts and in soil extracts obtained with three extractants {0.1M lithium chloride (LiCl), 0.15% calcium chloride (CaCl2), and 500 mg P/L as calcium phosphate [Ca(H2PO4)2]}. The analytical methods were: (i) a methylene blue (MB) colorimetric method after the reduction of SO4 2‐to hyrogen sulfide (H2S), (ii) an ion Chromatographie (IC) method, (iii) a turbidimetric (TD) method, and (iv) an indirect barium (Ba) atomic absorption spectrophotometric (SP) method. The recovery of SO4 2‐associated with various mono‐, di‐, and tri‐valent metals was quantitative by the MB method. But, trivalent metals, such as aluminum (Al), indium (In), lanthanum (La), and scandium (IC), decreased the recovery of SO4 2‐by the other three methods. The MB and IC methods gave similar values for SO4 2‐in soils by using the three extractants. The TD and SP methods gave variable results and, in general, underestimated the amounts of SO4 2‐in soils. Among the four methods, the MB and IC methods were the most accurate and precise.  相似文献

Our aim was to study the effects of C (as glucose and artificial rhizodeposits) on S immobilization, in relation to microbial biomass‐S and soil arylsulphatase (ARS) activity, in contrasting soils (a calcareous and an acid brown soil). The glucose‐C and artificial rhizodeposit‐C with or without cysteine were added at six rates (0, 100, 200, 400, 600 and 800 mg kg?1 soil) to the two soils and then incubated with Na235SO4 for 1 week prior to analysis. The percentages of 35S immobilized increased when C as glucose and rhizodeposit (without cysteine) were added to both soils. With cysteine‐containing rhizodeposit, the percentages of 35S immobilized remained relatively stable (23.5% to 29.9%) in the calcareous soil, but decreased in the acid brown soil (52.7% to 31.5%). For both soils, cysteine‐containing rhizodeposit additions showed no significant correlation between immobilized‐35S and microbial biomass‐35S, suggesting that microorganisms immobilized cysteine‐S preferentially instead of 35S from the tracer (Na235SO4). In the calcareous soil, a positive and significant correlation was found between ARS activity and microbial biomass‐35S (r = 0.85, P < 0.05) when glucose was added. We also saw this correlation in the acid brown soil when rhizodeposit‐C without cysteine was added (r = 0.90, P < 0.05). Accordingly, the results showed the presence of extracellular arylsulphatase activity of 48.7 mg p‐nitrophenol kg?1 soil hour?1 in the calcareous soil and of 27.0 mg p‐nitrophenol kg?1 soil hour?1 in the acid brown soil.  相似文献

We examined long-term changes in soil solution chemistry associated with experimental, whole watershed-acidification at the Bear Brook Watershed in Maine (BBWM). At BBWM, the West Bear (WB) watershed has been treated with bimonthly additions of ((NH4)2 SO4) since 1989. The adjacent East Bear (EB) watershed serves as a biogeochemical reference. Soil solution chemistry in the EB watershed was relatively stable from 1989?C2007, with the exception of declining SO4?CS concentrations associated with a progressive decline in SO4?CS deposition during this period. Soil solution chemistry in WB reflected a progressive change in acid-neutralization mechanisms from base cation buffering to Al buffering associated with treatment during this period. Total dissolved Al concentrations progressively increased over time and were ~4× higher in 2007 than in 1989. Treatment of WB was also associated with long-term increases in soil solution H+, SO4?CS, and NO3?CN, whereas soil solution dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was unresponsive to treatment. For solutes such as Ca, H+, and SO4?CS, changes in stream chemistry were generally parallel to changes in soil solution chemistry, indicating a close coupling of terrestrial and aquatic processes that regulate the chemistry of solutions in this first-order stream watershed. For other solutes such as Al and DOC, solute concentrations were higher in soil solutions compared with streams, suggesting that sorption and transformation processes along hydrologic flow-paths were important in regulating the chemistry of solutions and the transport of these solutes.  相似文献

The effects of elevated atmospheric SO 4 2? deposition on S cycling in forest soils were assessed in an irrigation experiment using stable S isotopes. Over a period of 20 months, core lysimeters of five acidic forest soils from Southern Germany with different parent material and pedogenesis were irrigated with solutions chemically similar to canopy throughfall. Sulfate deposition in three experimental variants corresponded to 23, 42 and 87 kg S ha?1 yr?1. The SO 4 2? used for irrigation had aδ 34S ratio of +28.0‰ CDT (Canon Diablo Troilite standard), differing by more than +25‰ from natural and anthropogenic S in Southern Germany. A combination of chemical and isotopic analyses of soil and seepage water samples was used to elucidate the fluxes and transformations of simulated wet SO 4 2? deposition in each soil core. Retention of experimentally deposited S ranged from 57±5% in coarse-grained soils low in sesquioxides and clay, to 80±8% in loamy soils with high sesquioxide content. The sesquioxide content proved to be the major factor governing S retention. The ratio of S retained as inorganic SO 4 2? (mainly by adsorption) to that incorporated into organic compounds (presumably by microbial synthesis) ranged from 2 to 4. For the organic S pool, the amount of S retained as C-bonded S exceeded by far that immobilized as ester sulfate in four of the five soils. Application of34S-enriched SO 4 2? appears to be a suitable experimental tool to assess fluxes and transformations of deposited S in forest soils, if aerobic conditions are maintained. In contrast to radioactive S tracers, the concept should be applicable not only in laboratory and lysimeter experiments, but also in long term studies of whole forest ecosystems (e.g., experimental watersheds).  相似文献
