This paper examined the contribution of various soil components to pH buffering capacity (pHBC) of haplic Acrisols in an upland area of Southeastern Vietnam. Sampling was conducted in 2016 in Tan Bien district, Tay Ninh province at seven sites from the surface to 60-cm depth. Soils were very acidic (pHH2O 4.53 ± 0.05). The pHBC were very low, 0.46 ± 0.04 and 0.44 ± 0.05 cmol H+ kg?1 pH?1, respectively, for original samples and those from which soil organic carbon (SOC, 0.52 ± 0.09%) were removed. The contribution of Al3+ to pHBC was remarkable while that of SOC was of little significance. The contribution of clay minerals to pHBC was unclear due to the low (9.37 ± 0.76%) and kaolinite-dominated clay content. The current soil conditions indicated a potential for further soil acidification. Liming would be one of the measures to remediate soil acidity in the research area.  相似文献

Termites are reported to improve soil physicochemical properties thereby enhance soil fertility of their mound and foraging areas. Empirical study pertaining to these effects is missing in Southwest Ethiopia. For this study, soil samples affected by termite activities were collected at 1 m interval within 0–3 m distance from the base of six termite mounds on gently sloping and sloping land and analyzed for physicochemical parameters. The result of the analysis depicted that soil bulk density (1.38–1.15 g cm?3) and moisture content (21.1–9.9%) decreased with increased distance from the mound base. While clay content decreased with increased distance from the mound base from72.0% to 45.5%, sand and silt contents increased from 8.0% to 21.3% and 19.3% to 28.5%, respectively. PH (6.23), organic carbon (3.85%), total nitrogen (0.4%), cation exchange capacity CEC (30.43 cmol kg?1), exchangeable Ca (13.73 cmol kg?1), Mg (3.15 cmol kg?1), and PBS (56.8%) were higher on termite mounds. While, electrical conductivity (0.03 dS m?1–0.06 dS m?1), exchangeable K (0.52–0.93 cmol kg?1) and Na (0.02–0.03 cmol kg?1) showed increasing trend with the distance from the mound base. Our results indicated that termite mounds are important sinks of organic matter and mineral nutrients, and hence contribute to the enhancement of soil fertility. Thus, for subsistent farmers the uses of termite mounds as a fertilizer present an opportunity to improve agricultural production.  相似文献

Abstract

A great deal of information on the efficiency of gypsum or phosphogypsum to ameliorate acidity in highly weathered soils is available, but only limited information is available on the efficiency in acid Andosols, which possess large amounts of active aluminum (Al). We examined the effectiveness of gypsum application to non-allophanic Andosols (one humus-rich A horizon and two B horizons poor in humus) using extractable soil Al analyses (batch and continuous extraction methods) and a cultivation test using burdock (Arctium lappa). With gypsum amendment, pH(H2O) values of the soil decreased from 4.5–4.7 to 4.2–4.4, whereas the treatment made almost no difference to the values of pH(KCl). Total active Al (acid oxalate-extractable Al) was hardly affected by gypsum for all samples. Potassium chloride-extractable Al definitely decreased with the addition of gypsum in all soils; however, the decrease was small (0.1–1.4 cmolc kg?1) and the values still exceeded “the threshold of 2 cmolc kg?1” for inducing Al toxicity in sensitive plants (4.4–8.6 cmolc Al kg?1). The change in Al solubility with gypsum application represented by Al release rates from soils using continuous extraction methods with a dilute acetate buffer solution (10?3 mol L?1, pH 3.5) differed greatly among the soil samples: The release rate of one of the B horizon samples decreased by 71%, certainly showing the insolubilization of Al compounds, whereas the release rates of the A horizon sample showed almost no change. These changes in Al solubility were well correlated with the plant root growth. Root growth was improved with gypsum in the B horizon sample, whereas improvement was not observed in the A horizon soil. The decrease in the rate of Al release of another B horizon soil with gypsum treatment was smaller (by 20–34%), possibly because of lower pH values after gypsum application (pH[H2O] of 4.2–4.3). In the B horizon soil, root growth improved only slightly. Thus, the effectiveness of gypsum application to acid Andosols appeared to be largely influenced by soil humus contents and slight differences in soil pH values, and corresponded to a decrease in Al release rates using the continuous extraction method.  相似文献

We determined proton budgets of surface soils in a deciduous forest (Df) and a coniferous forest (Cf) of Volcanogenous Regosols in Tomakomai, Hokkaido of northern Japan. The total H+ source was 12.9 and 11.6 kmolc ha?1 y?1 at Df and Cf respectively, and the external H+ was 1% at Df and 2% at Cf. The primary H+ sources were vegetation uptake of base cations and nitrification, while the major H+ sinks were release of base cations and NO3 + uptake by vegetation. Leaching incubation experiments using A horizon soils including Df and Cf with NH4 + solutions (5.3, 15.9 mg N L?1) showed that H+ from nitrification was generally higher in the Df soil than Cf soil, and nitrification of Tomakomai Df soil was the highest in both treatments. Results of multiple regression analyses suggested that pHkCl and exchangeable Ca2+ contributed to the H+ generation via nitrification. Leaching experiments with dilute HCl (pH 3.3) revealed that cation release (mainly Ca2+) occurred, and the proportion of release by decrease of exchangeable cations was higher than that by mineral weathering. Mineral weathering in the Tomakomai soil was higher than the other soils.  相似文献

Previous work has shown that rice plants growing in reduced soil are able to solubilize P by inducing an acidification in the rhizosphere through H+ produced in Fe2+ oxidation by root–released O2, and by the direct release of H+ from the roots to balance excess intake of cations over anions. In this paper, equations for the diffusion and interaction of P and acid in soil are developed to predict the resultant increase in P uptake by the roots. Good agreement was obtained between the profiles of P and pH in the rhizosphere measured in the previous experiments, and those predicted using the equations with independently measured parameter values. The equations showed that solubilization accounted for over 80% of the P taken up. Measurements of the solubilization parameters in a range of reduced rice soils showed that H+ addition increased the quantity of P that could be desorbed per unit weight of soil and the concentration of P in solution, in all the soils tested. The quantity of P solubilized per unit H+ added at a given solution P concentration varied about 50–fold between soils, with a median of 11.9 mmol P per mol H+. The native soil solution P concentration varied 50–fold (median = 0.91 UM) and the soil pP buffer power (the quantity of P desorbed per unit decrease in –log of the P concentration in solution) varied 100–fold (median = 0.36 mmol kg?1 pP?1); the soil pH buffer power varied 7–fold (median = 0.075 mmol kg?1 pH?1). Calculations indicated that, in most of the soils tested, rice plants would depend upon solubilization for the bulk of their P.  相似文献

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

Cores of podzolic soil (monolith lysimeters) were treated for 4.8 yr with 1500 mm yr?1 of either 0.5 mM H2SO4 at pH 3, equivalent to 24 g S m?2 yr?1 (acid treated) or distilled water (controls). The acid treatment was about 37 times greater than the average annual input of H3O+ from rain at the site from which the monoliths were taken. Acid treatment acidified the litter (from pH(CaCl2)3.4 to pH(CaCl2)2.6) and the mineral soil to a depth of 80 cm (mean pH(CaCl2) decrease of 0.2 unit). In the litter and upper A horizon, ion-exchange reactions provided the main neutralizing mechanism, resulting in a decrease in the reserves of extractable (in 2.5 % acetic acid) Ca, Mg, and Mn of about 70 to 80 %. Dissolution of solid phase Al from hydrous oxides provided most neutralization below this depth. Al3+ was the principal soluble Al species throughout the profile. In the litter and upper A horizon, some of the mobilized Al3+ was retained on cation exchange sites resulting in an increase in exchangeable Al. Deeper in the profile, where the exchange sites were effectively saturated with Al3+, no increase in exchangeable Al occurred, and Al3+ was, therefore, available for leaching. Some reversible adsorption of SO4 2?, associated with hydrous Al oxides, occurred in the Bs and C horizons. The results are discussed in relation to possible effects of acid deposition over regions of Europe and N. America.  相似文献

Between 1985 and 1990, bulk precipitation and soil solution from the organic (Oh) and mineral (Bs) horizons of a well developed podzol were regularly sampled at a moorland catchment in Mid-Wales. Samples were analysed for pH, major cations, major anions, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) was estimated by the charge balance method. Average monthly ANC of soil solutions from the Oh horizon varied seasonally, with a maximum in July and a minimum in February. In contrast, H+ concentrations varied little. Solute deposition, dominated by sodium and chloride, also varied seasonally with a winter maximum, which is reflected in the soil solution chemical composition. In the Oh horizon during winter, the increase in base cation (Na) concentrations led to release of H+ through ion exchange. ANC declined in the absence of any buffering mechanism. In summer, the depletion of exchangeable acidity that occurred in winter, was replenished by H+ produced by the dissociation of organic acids. During this period, organic anions contribute to an increase in ANC, while H+ concentrations remained similar to those in winter. These processes probably influenced the acidity and ANC of Bs horizon soil solutions but to a lesser extent than in the Oh horizon. Other mechanisms such as weathering and ion exchange involving H+ and Al may buffer solution acidity in the mineral soil.  相似文献

The contributions of cation exchange and mineral weathering to the neutralization of acidity in the Jingahata watershed in central Japan were estimated through a laboratory weathering experiment and runoff chemistry measurements. The laboratory experiment was conducted in a stirred-flow reactor for a whole soil sample collected from the C horizon in the watershed. The concentration ratios of base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+) to Si (BC/Si) released during the steady-state stage of the laboratory experiment were in good agreement with the ratios of the net flux of base cations to the flux of Si in the streamwater (BC N ET/Si L).This result suggests that the acidity in the watershed is neutralized primarily by mineral weathering without causing a net loss of base cations from exchange sites. The alkalinity/acidity balance estimated for the watershed shows that the total weathering rate of base cations is approximately 3.26 keq ha?1 yr?1. Weathering of plagioclase (An41) contributes 83% of the total weathering rate. The dominant acidity source is CO2 released within the soil horizons, accounting for roughly 85% of the total acidity flux (3.20 keq ha?1 yr?1). This high internal production of acidity suppresses the relative importance of atmospheric acidity inputs (0.3 keq ha?1 yr?1).  相似文献

A study was conducted to examine the impact of land use on soil fertility in an Entisol in the Jalpaiguri District of humid subtropical India. The natural forest served as a control against which changes in soil properties were compared. Soil samples were collected from four different depths (0–25, 25–50, 50–75, and 75–100 cm) of soil from four land uses (viz. forest, home garden, arecanut plantation, and agriculture) and examined for pH, organic carbon (OC), electrical conductivity (EC), cation exchange capacity, available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), exchangeable calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), aluminum (Al), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN) and dehydrogenase activity (DHA). Soil pH (5.7), OC (2.29%), N (386 kg ha?1), and P (22.54 kg ha?1) were greatest in forest soil, followed by soil from arecanut plantation, agriculture, and home garden. The greatest Ca (0.892 cmol kg?1), Mg (0.527 cmol kg?1), and Al (1.86 cmol kg?1) were found in the arecanut plantation, whereas K (0.211 cmol kg?1) was greatest in forest. The greatest content of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid–extractable copper, zinc, manganese, and iron (2.25, 1.66, 4.86, and 7.65 ppm, respectively) were found in forest. MBC (558 mg kg?1), MBN (26.67 mg kg?1), and DHA (33.03 μg TPF 24 h?1 g?1) was greatest in forest soil. Soil fertility index varied from 13.13 in arecanut plantation to 18.49 in forest. The soil evaluation factor ranged from 5.32 in agriculture to 6.56 in forest. Pearson's correlation matrix revealed strongly significant positive correlation of soil fertility index and soil evaluation factor with soil properties.  相似文献

This paper describes the effect of treating a nutrient-poor forest soil in monolith lysimeters with H2SO 4, pH 3.0, for 4.75 yr. The lysimeters were instrumented with porous cup probes to distinguish processes occurring in each soil horizon. In the A horizon base cation exchange and sulphate absorption were the principal proton- consuming processes whereas lower down the profile Al3+ dissolution from hydrous oxides dominated. Acid treatment thus reduced the amount of amorphous Al in the lower horizons, but exchangeable Al was unaffected. Sulphate absorbtion was positively correlated with the distribution of Al hydrous oxides. High rates of nitrification reduced the differences between acid and control monoliths, but acid treatment significantly reduced soil pH down to 75 cm and reduced the levels of exchangeable base cations in the litter and A horizons. Acid treatment increased the leaching rates of base cations and Al. Consideration of the total base cation content shows that acid treatment increased the rate of weathering by 0.7–1.4 k eq ha?1 yr?1. The results should be useful in modelling more realistic rates of acid input to similar soils.  相似文献

Solution chemistry was measured in two major inlets, lake water column, lake outlet, and soils of the South Lake watershed in the Adirondack Mountains, New York. The east inlet had greater concentrations of H+, sulfate-S, and Al and smaller concentrations of base cations and silica than the west inlet (70, 116, 25, 90, 64 and 4, 99, 8, 228, 148 μeq L?1 of H+ and sulfate-S, μmol L?1 Al, μeq L?1 total base cations and μmol L?1 silica in east and west inlets, respectively). Concentrations of base cations in C horizon soil solutions (157 μeq L?1 total base cations) were smaller and greater than west and east inlets, respectively. This suggests that water flowing into the west inlet contacted deeper mineral layers, whereas water reaching the east inlet did not. Lake and lake outlet concentrations were also intermediate between the two inlets, and the lake was acidic (pH 4.9 to 5.1) with relatively high total monomeric Al concentrations (8 to 9 μmol Al L?1). The east inlet also had greater DOC concentrations than the west (0.38 and 0.24 μmol C L?1, respectively), again indicating that soil solutions entering the east inlet passed through the forest floor but had more limited contact with deeper mineral layers in comparison with the west inlet. Differences between the streams are hypothesized to be related to contact of percolating solutions with mineral soil horizons and underlying glacial till, which provides neutralization of acidic solutions and releases base cations. This work indicates that processes controlling surface water acidification can be spatially quite variable over a small watershed.  相似文献

Ion leaching in 3 sandy spruce forest soils of different origin and pH was investigated in the laboratory. Zero-tension lysimeters containing undisturbed soil columns of varying soil depth were subjected to H2SO4 loadings for a period of 9 weeks. The analysis of the resulting leachate supports the hypothesis that Al-sulphate minerals may form in acidic soils when exposed to acid (H2SO4) deposition. In the B horizon of a glaciofluvial sandy soil (pH 4.2), both H+ and sulphate ions were retained to maintain 2pH + PSO4 = 11.9 in the leachate solutions. This relation between H+ and sulphate activity may be due to an adsorption mechanism or a precipitation mechanism. The precipitation mechanism is favored by the good fit of leachate composition to the conditions for jurbanite [AlOHSO4] formation from gibbsite [Al(OH)3]. In the B horizon of a sandy till at pH 3.7, the Al in soil solution (0.5 mmol L?1) was leached with sulphate. As the sulphate load was increased, some sulphate was retained. This may also be due to the dissolution and precipitation of an Al-sulphate mineral. The ion activity products of leachate solutions from the B horizon of this soil were close to the pKs reported for jurbanite. The conditions for the possible existence and/or formation of Al-sulphate minerals in acidic soils are discussed.  相似文献

It has been suggested that additions of organic residues to acid soils can ameliorate Al toxicity. For this reason the effects of additions of four organic residues to an acid soil on pH and exchangeable and soil solution Al were investigated. The residues were grass, household compost, filter cake (a waste product from sugar mills) and poultry manure, and they were added at rates equivalent to 10 and 20 t ha?1. Additions of residues increased soil pH measured in KCl (pH(KCl)) and decreased exchangeable Al3+ in the order poultry manure > filter cake > household compost > grass. The mechanism responsible for the increase in pH differed for the different residues. Poultry manure treatment resulted in lower soil pH measured in water (pH(water)) and larger concentrations of total (AlT) and monomeric (Almono) Al in soil solution than did filter cake. This was attributed to a soluble salt effect, originating from the large cation content of poultry manure, displacing exchangeable Al3+ and H+ back into soil solution. The considerably larger concentrations of soluble C in soil solution originating from the poultry manure may also have maintained greater concentrations of Al in soluble complexed form. There was a significant negative correlation (r = ?0.94) between pH(KCl) and exchangeable Al. Concentrations of AlT and Almono in soil solution were not closely related with pH or exchangeable Al. The results suggest that although additions of organic residues can increase soil pH and decrease Al solubility, increases in soluble salt and soluble C concentrations in soil solution can substantially modify these effects.  相似文献

“Yuchi” arrowleaf clover (Trifolium vesiculosum Sav.) has a potential for high forage productivity with desirable symbiotic nitrogen fixation within most temperate regions. Our objective was to determine the effects of soil fertility on growth, nodulation, nitrogenase and associated enzyme activities of arrowleaf clover. In greenhouse experiments top growth increased with additions of 300 mg K kg?1 soil with and without 100 mg P kg?1 soil to a Cumulic Haplustoll (Port silt loam, pH 6.1). Nodule mass without P fertilizer additions increased linearly up to 400 mg K kg?1 soil. When both P and K fertilizer additions were combined nodule mass increased significantly only up to the 300 mg K addition. However, nodule weight, increased 4-fold with the PK combination treatments. Nitrogenase activity, as measured by C2H2 reduction, more than doubled with P additions and increased linearly up to 400 mg K kg? soil, with and without the P additions. Aspartate amino-transferase (AST) activity of nodule cytosol more than doubled with P additions but increased only with up to 300 mg K without P. Highest AST activities were recorded with the 400 mg K addition when combined with P. Glutamate synthetase (GS) activity increased with up to 300 mg K without P addition, but when combined with P was approximately 3 times higher, increasing linearly to 400 mg K. Differences in glutamate synthetase (GOGAT) activity were not significant with K additions without P, but when combined with P treatments were almost doubled up to the 400 mg K concentrations. Multiple regression for nitrogenase (C2H2 red.) as the dependent variable = 5.89 (AST) + 12.79 (GS) + 21.52 (GOGAT) + 13.53 (GDH); R2 = 0.92 and C.V. = 15.6%. Nodule cytosol P and K compositions reflected soil treatment levels and combinations. Reciprocal effects of monovalent cations were highly significant, with increased K concentrations reducing Na content; nitrogenase = 0.12 (P) + 0.01(K) + 0.14(Ca) ?0.34 (Na); R2 = 0.86 and C.V. = 21.9%.  相似文献

One of the main environmental impacts of concentrated animal feeding operations is soil degradation in the vicinity of the livestock breeding facilities due to substances such as ammonia emitted from the various stages of the process. In this research, the soil degradation effects of an intensive hog farming operation (IHFO) located at a Mediterranean limestone soil coastal area have been investigated. Soil samples of the upper mineral soil were taken in various distances and directions from the IHFO boundaries. Thirteen experimental cycles were carried out in the duration of 1.5?years starting in March 2009 until October 2010. The soil samples were analysed on total, exchangeable and water-soluble Ca, Mg and K as well as water-soluble ammonium concentrations. Significantly lower concentrations of the exchangeable and water-soluble base cations were observed on soil samples at increasing proximity downwind from the farm (south). Southern soil average concentrations of exchangeable base cations ranged between 78.6 and 128.52?mmol Ca2+?kg?1 soil, 8.42?C21.39?mmol?Mg2+?kg?1 soil and 4.25?C8.1?mmol?K+?kg?1 soil, respectively. Southern soil average concentrations of water-soluble base cations ranged between 0.57 and 2.17?mmol Ca2+?kg?1 soil, 0.16?C0.89?mmol?Mg2+?kg?1 soil and 0.48?C0.95?mmol?K+?kg?1 soil, respectively.  相似文献

The way pH changes in soil are propagated by movement of acids and bases is described. In acid soils the H3O+-H2O acid-base pair is most important, while in alkaline soils the H2CO3-HCO3? pair is always dominant, its effect depending directly on the pressure of CO2. In neutral and slightly acid soils, soluble organic matter and the H2PO4?-HPO24? pair may also contribute. A soil acidity diffusion coefficient is derived, and defined as: where vl= the volume fraction of the soil solution, fl= the impedance factor for the liquid diffusion pathway, bHS= the pH buffer capacity of the soil, b HB= the pH buffer capacity of each mobile acid-base pair, Dl HB= the diffusion coefficient of each mobile acid-base pair in free solution, and the sum is taken over all mobile acid-base pairs. The soil acidity diffusion coefficient may be used to predict the course of pH equilibration in practical situations. It is high in acid and alkaline soil, and at a minimum in slightly acid soil. It is little affected by variation of the ionic strength of the soil solution at concentrations less than 0.01M. When the pH buffer capacity of the soil is constant, and only the H3O+-H2O and H2CO3-HCO3? pairs are important, the soil acidity diffusion coefficient varies as cosh{2.303(pH—pH0)}, where pH0 is the pH at which the soil-acidity diffusion coefficient is a minimum.  相似文献

Distribution of potassium (K) in soils is governed by the agroecological region (AERs), as the operational intensity of factors and processes of soil formation vary with AER. Therefore, we aimed at finding out the relationship between the forms of K(K forms) with AER and the association of K forms with soil properties in the North-Eastern region of India. For this, horizon-wise soil samples were collected from pedons, three each from three AERs (15 (hot sub-humid to humid), 16 (warm per-humid) and 17 (warm per-humid with less cool winter)) in the North-Eastern India. The water balance diagram for AER shows that precipitation (P) exceeds the potential evapo-transpiration (PET) from June to October, AER 16 shows almost no period when the PET is more than the P and AER 17 shows that the region experiences only a short water deficit of 100–150 mm during post-monsoon period. Soil samples were analysed for physical and chemical properties and K forms. The soils were acidic to neutral with low cation exchange capacity (CEC). The water-soluble K ranged between 0.006 and 0.144 cmol kg?1, exchangeable K between 0.07 and 0.54 cmol kg?1, fixed K from 16.7 to 61.3 cmol kg?1 and total K from 17.4 to 63.6 cmol kg?1 in soils of different horizons. Further, the results revealed that all the K forms followed the trend of AER 16 > AER 17 >AER 15. Exchangeable K showed higher correlation with clay (r = 0.519**), while fixed K with organic carbon (r = 0.390*).  相似文献

The predicted activity of Al in the soil solutions of acid forest soils often differs from that observed in the field. We have investigated the influence of soil structure and flow rate of the soil solution on the aluminum release to explain this divergence. Disturbed and undisturbed samples of soil were collected from the A and B horizons of a dystric cambisol at Waldstein (Fichtelgebirge, Germany). The samples were irrigated with solutions mixed according to field data on throughfall or soil solution composition with pH 3.5 with flow rates of 4 mm d?1, 12 mm d?1 and 36 mm d?1. The percolates were analysed for major ions. Resulting relations between pH and pAl were compared with batch experiments. In neither the A horizon nor in the B horizon did soil structure influence the relation between pH and pAl. The apparent equilibrium between pH and pAl was described as the pKapp value with pKapp= pAl—a pH (where a is an empirical constant). It was found that the pKapp values for the column percolates were in the range of variation of those found in batch experiments. Flow rate had no influence on pKapp at 4 and 12 mm d?1. At 36 mm d?1 a significant increase of pKapp was observed. This relative undersaturation of Al was more pronounced in the A horizon than in the B horizon. When flow is fast Al release into the percolating soil solution might be limited by diffusion.  相似文献

Long‐term monitoring data from eastern North America and Europe indicate a link between increased dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in surface waters over the last two decades and decreased atmospheric pollutant and marine sulphur (S) deposition. The hypothesis is that decreased acidity and ionic strength associated with declining S deposition has increased the solubility of DOC. However, the sign and magnitude of DOC trends have varied between sites, and in some cases at sites where S deposition has declined, no significant increase in DOC has been observed, creating uncertainty about the causal mechanisms driving the observed trends. In this paper, we demonstrate chemical regulation of DOC release from organic soils in batch experiments caused by changes in acidity and conductivity (measured as a proxy for ionic strength) associated with controlled SO42? additions. DOC release from the top 10 cm of the O‐horizon of organo‐mineral soils and peats decreased by 21–60% in response to additions of 0–437 µeq SO42? l?1 sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and neutral sea‐salt solutions (containing Na+, Mg2+, Cl?, SO42?) over a 20‐hour extraction period. A significant decrease in the proportion of the acid‐sensitive coloured aromatic humic acids (measured by specific ultra‐violet absorbance (SUVA) at 254 nm) was also found with increasing acidity (P < 0.05) in most, but not all, soils, confirming that DOC quality, as well as quantity, changed with SO42? additions. DOC release appeared to be more sensitive to increased acidity than to increased conductivity. By comparing the change in DOC release with bulk soil properties, we found that DOC release from the O‐horizon of organo‐mineral soils and semi‐confined peats, which contained greater exchangeable aluminium (Al) and had lower base saturation (BS), were more sensitive to SO42? additions than DOC release from blanket peats with low concentrations of exchangeable Al and greater BS. Therefore, variation in soil type and acid/base status between sites may partly explain the difference in the magnitude of DOC changes seen at different sites where declines in S deposition have been similar.  相似文献
