Relative gas diffusivity (D/D0) was measured in peat cores equilibrated to set moisture tensions between zero and - l0 kPa, using the radioactive gas 85Kr. A relationship between relative diffusivity and the air filled porosity was obtained, which showed lower values of D/D0 at air-filled porosities above about 0.13m3m−3, and higher values at porosities below about 0.10m3m−3 than some of those found in the literature for mineral soils. The likely effects of shrinkage behaviour on drying in the field, on the relationship between D/D0 and air-filled porosity, are discussed.  相似文献

Peat land has been considered as an alternative type of land for agricultural development especially in the tropics. In the present study, the N-supplying capacity, one of the most important soil properties in terms of crop production, of peat soils was examined. Ten peat soil samples were collected from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Japan. Gross N mineralization in the soil samples was estimated using a zero-order model, and kinetic parameters of mineralization were determined using a simple type model. Soil organic matter composition was investigated using 13C CPMAS NMR. Mineralization potential ( N 0), apparent activation energy ( E a), and mineralization rate constant ( k ) ranged between 571–2,445 mg kg−1, 281–8,181 J mol−1, and 0.009–0.020 d−1, respectively. Although none of the parameters showed a significant correlation with the soil C/N ratio, a negative correlation was observed between the k value and the ratio of the proportion of alkyl C in total C to that of O -alkyl C estimated by 13C CPMAS NMR. The latter suggested that the k values were higher in the peat soils relatively rich in readily decomposable organic matter including carbohydrates.  相似文献

Abstract. The phosphorus (P) sorption and desorption dynamics of eleven major agricultural grassland soil types in Ireland were examined using laboratory techniques, so that soils vulnerable to P loss might be identified. Desorption of P from soil using the iron-oxide paper strip test (Pfeo), water extractable P (Pw) and calcium chloride extractable P (Pcacl2) depended on soil P status in all soils. However, soil types with high organic matter levels (OM), namely peat soils (%OM >30), had lower Pfeo and Pw but higher Pcacl2 values compared to mineral soils at similar soil test P levels. Phosphorus sorption capacity remaining (PSCr) was measured using a single addition of P to soils and used to calculate total P sorption capacities (PSCt) and degree of P saturation (DPS). Phosphorus sorption capacities correlated negatively with % OM in soils indicating that OM may inhibit P sorption from solution to soil. High organic matter soils exhibited low P sorption capacities and poor P reserves (total P, oxalate extractable P) compared to mineral soils. Low P sorption capacities (PSCt) in peat soils were attributed to OM, which blocked or eliminated sorption sites with organic acids, therefore, P remained in the soil solution phase (Pcacl2). In this work, peat and high organic matter soils exhibited P sorption and desorption characteristics which suggest that these soils may not be suitable for heavy applications of manure or fertilizer P owing to their low capacities for P sorption and storage.  相似文献

Abstract. The Agricultural Catchments Research Unit model (ACRU) includes a decision support system (DSS) for estimating the water content of soil at field capacity (θ fc ) and wilting point (θ wp ) when these characteristics are not directly measurable. Three methods of estimation are proposed: (a) based on silt and clay content and bulk density, (b) based on clay content only, and (c) based on soil series. These three pedotransfer functions are compared with respect to both the estimation of θ fc and θ wp and the propagation of errors when the actual evapotranspiration of a wheat crop (E) is predicted over the growing season by the ACRU model.
The standard error of estimation was between 0.066 and 0.082 m3/m3 for θ fc , between 0.056 and 0.069 m3/m3 for θ wp and between 29.9 and 34.8 mm of water for E. The method based on silt and clay contents and bulk density predicted θ fc and θ wp for non-swelling soils most precisely. The method based on soil series was better than other methods for swelling soils. It also performed better for estimating available water capacity and consequently for predicting E from a conceptual soil water model. The propagated error of estimating θ fc and θ wp using the DSS reached 15–18% of the simulated E. The error in the prediction of E can reach 26–30% when spatial variation in soil properties is also estimated.  相似文献

The effect of treatment with either gypsum or sodium chloride on the saturated hydraulic conductivity ( K s) of repacked soil columns and modulus of rupture (MOR) was studied on surface samples of two red-brown earth soils from SE wheat belt in Australia.
When the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) of the two soils was increased to >80, K S was substantially reduced and MOR increased relative to the untreated soil; the values of the parameters were nearly equal for these pairs of high ESP soils. However, after treatment with gypsum the Raywood soil had a K s twice, and a MOR less than half, the corresponding values for the Glenloth soil.
Micromorphological and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations suggest that the increase in K s following gypsum treatment is associated with an increase in visible macropores and reduced clay dispersion; Na treatment increased dispersion at the soil surface, with the clay particles forming an impermeable surface seal and illuviation argillans.  相似文献

Greenhouse gas emissions from farmed organic soils: a review   总被引：14，自引：0，他引：14  
Abstract. The large boreal peatland ecosystems sequester carbon and nitrogen from the atmosphere due to a low oxygen pressure in waterlogged peat. Consequently they are sinks for CO2 and strong emitters of CH4. Drainage and cultivation of peatlands allows oxygen to enter the soil, which initiates decomposition of the stored organic material, and in turn CO2 and N2O emissions increase while CH4 emissions decrease. Compared to undrained peat, draining of organic soils for agricultural purposes increases the emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, and N2O) by roughly 1t CO2 equivalents/ha per year. Although farmed organic soils in most European countries represent a minor part of the total agricultural area, these soils contribute significantly to national greenhouse gas budgets. Consequently, farmed organic soils are potential targets for policy makers in search of socially acceptable and economically cost-efficient measures to mitigate climate gas emissions from agriculture. Despite a scarcity of knowledge about greenhouse gas emissions from these soils, this paper addresses the emissions and possible control of the three greenhouse gases by different managements of organic soils. More precise information is needed regarding the present trace gas fluxes from these soils, as well as predictions of future emissions under alternative management regimes, before any definite policies can be devised.  相似文献

Microorganisms can clog pores in soils and decrease hydraulic conductivity and infiltration. We did three column experiments to clarify the effects. In all three columns, glucose solution of 50 μg cm−3 was percolated for 120 days, and both the saturated hydraulic conductivity, K s, and the volume ratio of the gas phase, a , were measured continuously. The K s decreased rapidly for the initial 10 days, and it slowly decreased for the following 110 days. By adding chloramphenicol to the second column as bactericide and cycloheximide to the third column as fungicide, we observed clogging by bacteria and fungi, respectively, bacterial clogging proceeding more rapidly than the fungal clogging. The volume of the gas phase increased and reached the maximum value of 30.6% after 103 days from the beginning of percolation. This large amount of gas was retained in the soil pores as bubbles and occluded the pathways of water, resulting in the decrease in K s. When the percolating solution was changed to sodium azide (a strong biocide), after 120 days the volume of the gas phase decreased rapidly, and K s increased simultaneously.  相似文献

Coniferous forest soils often consume less of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) than deciduous forest soils. The reasons for this phenomenon have not been resolved. It might be caused by differences in the diffusive flux of CH4 through the organic layer, pH or different concentrations of potentially inhibitory compounds. Soil samples were investigated from three adjacent European beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) and Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) stands in Germany. Maximal CH4 oxidation velocities (Vmax(app)) and Michaelis Menten constants (KM(app)), retrieved from intact soil cores at constant CH4 concentrations, temperature and matric potential, were twice as great in beech as in spruce soils. Also atmospheric CH4 oxidation rates measured in homogenized soil samples displayed the same trend. Greatest atmospheric CH4 oxidation rates were detected in the Oa horizon or in the upper 5 cm of the mineral soil. In contrast to the beech soils, the Oa horizon of the spruce soils consumed no CH4. A differential effect due to divergent diffusive flux through the litter layer was not found. pH and ammonium concentration were similar in samples from both forest soil types. Ethylene accumulation in all soils was negligible under oxic conditions. These collective results suggest that the different atmospheric CH4 uptake by beech and spruce soils is caused by different CH4 oxidizing capacities of methanotrophic communities in the Oa horizon and top mineral soil.  相似文献

Application of iron (Fe) -rich amendments to soils has been proposed as a means of decreasing phosphorus (P) losses from soils. However, anoxic conditions following soil saturation are known to increase Fe and P solubility in soils, thus cancelling out the potential benefits. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of continuous oxic, continuous anoxic and alternating anoxic/oxic conditions on P exchangeability and Fe forms in soil amended with Ca(OH)2 and FeSO4. We incubated amended and unamended soils under these conditions for 8 weeks and measured Fe forms and P exchangeability. Under oxic conditions, addition of Ca(OH)2 and FeSO4 resulted in a strong decrease in P exchangeability and an increase in oxalate-extractable Fe. Mössbauer analyses suggested that an unidentified Fe oxide (D1oxide) with a strong sorbing capacity for P was precipitated. Under continuously anoxic conditions, P exchangeability and oxalate-extractable Fe increased with or without the amendments. Mössbauer analyses suggested that there was a partial dissolution of the D1oxide phase, precipitation of another unidentified Fe oxide (S3) and a reduction of structural Fe3+ in phyllosilicate, thereby increasing soil negative charge. These transformations resulted in a strong increase in rapidly exchangeable P. Alternating anoxic and oxic periods induced the dissolution and precipitation of iron oxides and the increase and decrease in P exchangeability. Implications of the results for limiting P losses from grassland soils are discussed.  相似文献

Abstract. There is increasing evidence that phosphorus has been accumulating in the surface horizons of agricultural soils to the extent that some soils represent a potential diffuse source of pollution to surface waters. The relationships between equilibrium phosphorus concentration at zero sorption (EPC 0) of soil and a number of soil physicochemical variables were investigated in the surface layers of arable and grassland agricultural soils sampled from the Thame catchment, England. Soil EPC0 could be predicted from an equation including soil test (Olsen) P, soil phosphate sorption index (PSI) and organic matter content (OM) (R2=0.88; P <0.001) across a range of soil types and land use. The simple index Olsen P/PSI was found to be a good predictor of EPC0 (R2=0.77; P <0.001) and readily desorbable (0.02 m KCl extractable) P (R2=0.73; P <0.001) across a range of soil types under arable having soil organic matter contents of <10%.  相似文献

Self-diffusion coefficients of sodium and calcium were measured on a range of moist subsoils. The ratio of concentrations of each isotope in the liquid phase and on the surface at the water content of the diffusion run was obtained from both the extrapolation of ratios measured at a range of soil:solution ratios, and, where possible, by measurement on expressed soil solution.
The diffusion coefficients were considerably greater than would be predicted if only the liquid phase contributed to diffusion. Surface phase impedance factors, f s, were calculated for each soil. f s for sodium was between 1/5 and 1/2 of the liquid phase impedance factor, f L; f s for calcium was between 1/9 and 1/20 of f L. Values of f s were not obviously related to the clay mineralogy, the proportion of internal to external cation adsorption, the volumetric water content, or the pH.  相似文献

To better understand the factors controlling carbon dioxide (CO2) production and transport in soil, we developed a new method to continuously monitor soil CO2 concentration at multiple depths, by using diffusion chambers. The soil diffusion chambers are constructed from a high-density polyethylene cylindrical frame enclosed by a micro-polyvinylidene difluoride flat membrane (PVDF). All chambers are linked to an infrared gas analyser positioned above-ground through a multi-port valve system. We set up two experimental sites for long-term measurements of soil CO2 concentration, soil temperature and soil water content at depths of 0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 cm. The system provides the following advantages : (i) the use of the PVDF combined with the small dimensions of the diffusion chambers allows rapid diffusion of soil gas into the chambers and therefore a short equilibration time of the gas phase with the surrounding soil atmosphere, (ii) the equilibrating closed loop system allows the semi-continuous measurement of soil profile CO2 concentrations without creating a pressure differential within the chambers, thus reducing gas concentration distortions in the soil, (iii) the small size of the closed diffusion chambers reduces the initial soil disturbance during installation, (iv) it allows sampling in wet, humid soils, including ones that are waterlogged or temporarily saturated, and (v) the chambers do not require removal for maintenance purposes and are inexpensive.  相似文献

Accurate quantification of soil gas diffusion is essential to understand the gas transport mechanism in soils, especially for soil greenhouse gas emissions. To date, the performance of soil gas diffusivity (Dp/D0, where Dp is the soil gas diffusion coefficient and D0 is the diffusion coefficient in free air) models has seldom been evaluated for no-tilled and tilled volcanic ash soils. In the present study, six commonly used models were evaluated for volcanic ash soils under two treatments by comparing the predicted and measured soil gas diffusivities at water potentials of pF 1.3–3. The Buckingham-Burdine-Campbell (BBC), soil-water-characteristic-dependent (SWC-dependent), and two-region extended Archie’s Law (2EAL) models showed better performance for both no-tilled and tilled volcanic ash soils, which is likely because porosity and pore size parameters of bimodal soils were taken into consideration in these models. Since the BBC model showed better accuracy than the SWC-dependent and 2EAL models and required fewer, more easily measurable parameters, this study recommends the BBC model for predicting soil gas diffusivity of volcanic ash soil under different tillage managements. In future studies, the BBC model should be further tested at water potentials of pF > 3, and may be improved by including the parameters of pore continuity and saturation.  相似文献

P-Zn interactions can affect fertilizer use and produce Zn deficiencies with certain crops. Phosphorus-Zn sorption-desorption reactions were studied in topsoil and subsoil samples from three Quebec soils. Soils were equilibrated with P solutions, then with Zn solutions, and finally with solutions containing no P or Zn. The first equilibration evaluated P sorption (Ps), the second evaluated Zn sorption (Zns) after P sorption (Ps), and the third evaluated Zn desorption (ZnD) as related to added P. Subsequently, Zn fractions were extracted sequentially with KNO3 (Zn kno 3), NaOH (ZnNaOH) solutions and concentrated HN03+ H202(ZnHNO,).
One mmole sorbed P resulted in increases of 0.5 to 1.0 meq (mean = 0.72) increases in cation exchange capacity (CEC). Increased Zns with added P was equivalent to 4 to 5% of the increase in CEC induced by Ps in the Uplands (sand) and St. Bernard (loam) soils, and 0.4 to 0.9% in the Dalhousie (clay) soils, while one meq increase in CEC resulted in 1.5-3.5% decrease in ZnD. There existed positive correlations between Ps and extractable soil Fe materials. Phosphate sorption enhanced associations between Zns, ZnD or Zn fractions and soil organic or crystalline Fe contents, confirming that P addition increased specific sorption of Zn on Fe components. Other mechanisms including precipitation, P-induced negative charge and 'bridge' effects are also discussed.  相似文献

Abstract. An empirical model was developed for prediction of annual average nitrate leaching as affected by the long-term rate of N fertilization and crop type. The effect of N fertilization was estimated from annual values of nitrate leaching obtained from two Danish investigations of drainage from pipe drains with four rates of N fertilization on a loamy sand and sandy clay loam from 1973-89. The effect of crop at normal N fertilization was estimated from 147 observations of annual nitrate leaching obtained from field measurements. The nitrate leaching model consists of a relative N fertilization submodel and an absolute submodel for specific combinations of crop, soil and drainage at the normal rate of N fertilization. The relative submodel is Y/Y lN= exp[0.7l(N/ N1– I)], where Y is the nitrate leaching (kg N/ha per year) at fertilization rate N , and Y IN and N1 are the corresponding values at the normal rate of N fertilization. The relative submodel is valid for cereals, root crops and grass leys fertilized with mineral fertilizer at N/N 1 < 1.5, and on the prerequisite that the fertilization rate N has been constant for some years. To illustrate the use of the relative leaching submodel, estimated values of Y IN corrected to mean annual drainage for 1970 to 1990 in Denmark for spring cereals and grass on sandy and loamy soils are given as input to the relative leaching submodel. The model can be used for sandy to loamy soils to estimate the mean nitrate leaching over a number of years.  相似文献

Abstract. This paper describes a study of 37 farms in the Batinah region of Oman where fodder crops and date palms are grown using saline irrigation water. Soil water salinities (εs) range from 2 to 50 dS m–1. Soil water salinity depends on irrigation water quality and management factors such as the amount and frequency of irrigation and the area of the irrigation basin relative to the vegetation canopy. An irrigation management model for soil salinity control IMAGE has been developed, based on the salt balance of the profile assuming that the εs is in equilibrium with the irrigation water. The input parameters required to run the model include the annual water application, irrigation interval, soil textural class, potential evaporation, the ratio of crop canopy to irrigation basin area and the salinity of irrigation water. Verification of the model using rather uncertain data from a survey of the farms showed that this simple approach predicted εs to within 2.5 dS m–1 in 82% of cases. The model showed that εs was highly sensitive to the size of irrigation basin and the amount and scheduling of irrigation, and so provides a tool for optimizing salinity management.  相似文献

The proportion of metals in soils in equilibrium with soil solution can be determined using isotopic dilution. For this purpose, an isotope dilution mass spectrometric (IDMS) technique has been applied for the elements Cd, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Tl and Zn. Conventionally, sorbed amounts of heavy metals in soils are analysed by ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) extraction. The IDMS technique and EDTA extraction were both applied to 115 soil samples and compared. For Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn, the results of the IDMS technique correlated well with the results of EDTA extractions ( r s(Cd) = 0.965, r s(Cu) = 0.916, r s(Ni) = 0.878, r s(Pb) = 0.922, r s(Zn) = 0.962; all at P < 0.001). For Cd and Zn, no significant differences between the results of both methods could be observed, which suggests that EDTA and IDMS determined the same pool. EDTA extracted more Cu, Ni and Pb than was determined by IDMS (7, 26 and 13%, respectively). The correlation between EDTA extraction and IDMS for Cr was significant but weak ( r s(Cr) = 0.361). For Tl and Mo, EDTA extraction and IDMS did not correlate, and IDMS yielded larger concentrations than EDTA. This can be explained by the fact that Tl and Mo do not form stable EDTA complexes, which are essential for the EDTA technique. Recovery experiments demonstrated that added Cd, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Tl and Zn could be recovered successfully by IDMS analysis (mean recovery = 103 ± 9%). Adsorption isotherms for soil samples were determined for Tl, thereby demonstrating that IDMS gave a better estimation of the native content of sorbed Tl in soils than EDTA extraction.  相似文献

Effects of organic matter and calcium on soil structural stability   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
The cationic bridging effect of the calcium ion (Ca2+) and the flocculating ability of clay and organic matter are crucial in the formation and stability of soil aggregates. They are therefore likely to influence the soil's saturated hydraulic conductivity ( K s). We tested the individual effects of these factors on aggregate stability and related hydraulic properties, and studied the influence of clay mineralogy also. Samples from the surface (0–10 cm) of three contrasting soils in Trinidad were used. The soils were treated with three levels of Ca2+ and three levels of organic matter in a 3 × 3 × 3 factorial design and incubated for 14 days. Both aggregate stability and saturated hydraulic conductivity were influenced by all factor combinations. Interactions between soil type and Ca2+ revealed the importance of polyvalent cations in aggregate stability of soils with low activity minerals. The influence of organic matter varied with quantity; the more there was, the more stable the soil became, particularly in the soil containing little clay. Clay dispersion and slaking of expanding minerals occurred even with large additions of Ca2+ and organic matter, emphasizing the overall influence of mineralogy in determining the response of soils to stability treatments.  相似文献

Methane fluxes on agricultural and forested boreal organic soils   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Abstract. Annual methane fluxes from an organic soil in eastern Finland, originally drained and planted with birch ( Betula pendula ) and then later cultivated, were studied for two years using a chamber technique. The agricultural soils growing grass or barley or without vegetation, generally acted as sinks for CH4. Surprisingly, the agricultural soils emitted CH4 during a warm dry summer. The CH4 oxidation capacity and CH4 uptake rate of the forested site was three times that of agricultural soils. Also, the forest soil better retained its capacity to take up CH4 during a dry summer. Despite periods of CH4 emission, the agricultural soils were annual sinks for CH4, with uptake rate of CH4-C varying from 0.1 to 3.7 kg ha−1 yr−1. The forested soil had a methane uptake rate of 3.9 kg CH4-C ha−1 yr−1. All the soils acted as sinks for CH4 during winter, which contributed up to half of the annual CH4 uptake. The capacity of soils to transport gases did not explain the larger CH4 uptake rate in the forest soil. At the same gas filled porosity, the forest soil had a much larger CH4 uptake rate than the agricultural soil. Neither the soil acidity (pH 4.5 and 6.0) nor high ammonium content appeared to limit CH4 uptake. The results suggest that CH4 oxidation in agricultural organic soil is more sensitive to soil drying than CH4 oxidation in forested organic soil.  相似文献

The formation of CH3ONO in 11 soils treated with HNO2 or NaNO2 in a closed system, was studied by measuring the concentration in the gas space above the soil and by absorbing CH3ONO in HI. The gaseous concentration of CH3ONO increased and then decreased following additions of HNO2 or NaNO2, and the production of CH3ONO increased with increasing concentrations of HNO2 or NaNO2 added to soils.
The amounts of CH3ONO trapped in HI were 13.5 to 20.4 times higher than those determined by integrating under the net production curves. The evolved CH3ONO amounted to 0.4 to 3.5% of added NO2−, and 4.2 to 50% of the gaseous forms of N absorbed by acidic KMnO4 solution. The CH3ONO evolved from soils was positively correlated with the methoxy content of the soils, and inversely related to soil pH, with negligible amounts being evolved from alkaline soils. The results show that CH3ONO is a product of NO2− decomposition in soils, and indicate that small concentrations of the gas may be produced in N–fertilized soils in which NO2− accumulates.  相似文献
