Understanding in situ enzyme activities could help clarify the fate of soil organic carbon (SOC), one of the largest uncertainties in predicting future climate. Here, we explored the role of soil temperature and moisture on SOM decomposition by using, for the first time, modelled in situ enzyme activities as a proxy to explain seasonal variation in soil respiration. We measured temperature sensitivities (Q10) of three enzymes (β-glucosidase, xylanase and phenoloxidase) and moisture sensitivity of β-glucosidase from agricultural soils in southwest Germany. Significant seasonal variation was found in potential activities of β-glucosidase, xylanase and phenoloxidase and in Q10 for β-glucosidase and phenoloxidase activities but not for xylanase. We measured moisture sensitivity of β-glucosidase activity at four moisture levels (12%–32%), and fitted a saturation function reflecting increasing substrate limitation due to limited substrate diffusion at low water contents. The moisture response function of β-glucosidase activity remained stable throughout the year. Sensitivity of enzymes to temperature and moisture remains one of the greatest uncertainties in C models. We therefore used the response functions to model temperature-based and temperature and moisture-based in situ enzyme activities to characterize seasonal variation in SOC decomposition. We found temperature to be the main factor controlling in situ enzyme activities. To prove the relevance of our modelling approach, we compared the modelled in situ enzyme activities with soil respiration data measured weekly. Temperature-based in situ enzyme activities explained seasonal variability in soil respiration well, with model efficiencies between 0.35 and 0.78. Fitting an exponential response function to in situ soil temperature explained soil respiration to a lesser extent than our enzyme-based approach. Adding soil moisture as a co-factor improved model efficiencies only partly. Our results demonstrate the potential of this new approach to explain seasonal variation of enzyme related processes.  相似文献

The adsorption-desorption, chemical fraction and solubility relations of Cu in a typical savanna soil from Nigeria were studied with a view to elucidating the factors which govern the retention and release of Cu added to the soil as fertilizers and contaminants. Copper adsorption was performed in a KCl medium, and at a pH range of 3.0 to 8.5, using surface and subsurface soil samples of an Alfisol. Copper adsorption curve had a steep slope at low concentration of applied Cu, and a gentle slope at high concentration. Two successive desorptions with 0.01 M KCl recovered between 0 and 6% of sorbed Cu in the surface soil, and between 0 and 3% in the subsurface soil. Fractionation of sorbed Cu showed that between 51 and 62% of the sorbed Cu was in a residual form, whereas the organically-bound form was, on the average, less than 20% of sorbed Cu. Copper sorption increased with increasing pH, which could not simply be explained by pH-dependent charges per se. More than 65% of applied Cu was sorbed at pH ≥ 3.0, far below the point of zero net charge of the soil. The log Cu2+-pH activity diagrams showed that Cu2+ activities in soil solution were undersaturated with respect to tenorite (CuO) and Cu(OH)2(c) solubility at the pH range of 4.0 to 7.5, but were supersaturated with respect to cupric ferrite (CuFe2O4) solubility except at pH ≤ 4.5. Precipitation of Cu compounds with solubility similar to CuFe2O4 might partly account for increasing Cu retention with pH. The strong retention of applied Cu by the soil and its low solubility in the soil solution suggested that the risks of Cu toxicity, and leaching to contaminate ground water and food chain, were Cu-rich wastes to be disposed through this soil, are quite minimal.  相似文献

Some techniques commonly used for enzyme purification were unsuitable to purify urease extracted by pyrophosphate from soil. An all-or-none behaviour seemed to be a prominent feature of such experiments but in some instances slight increases of specific activity were observed.The most effective purification of soil urease was achieved by exhaustively ultrafiltrating the soil extract against 0.1 m pyrophosphate at pH 7.1, separating the retained material into fractions of mol. wt. higher (AI) and lower (AII) than 105, followed by gel chromatography.Increases in total activities were observed both after ultrafiltration and gel chromatography. Ultra-filtration increased the total activity of the extracted urease by about 8%. The specific activity of fraction AI increased four fold, that of fraction AII by more than three fold. Fractions obtained by gel chromatography accounted in toto for only 13.5% of the organic-C of the soil extract. Total urease activity increased by 45.6%. Specific activities increased to 6.9–18 times that of the soil extract.  相似文献

Adsorption of Cd by two soils and its uptake by perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and winter rape (Brassica napus) as a function of pH (pH 4 to 7) and the amount of Cd added to the soil (0 to 5 mg kg?1 soil) were studied in a 2-yr pot experiment. In the soils, the more soluble fractions of Cd increased as the pH was lowered. Increasing the pH from 5 to 7 by adding CaO invariably reduced the Cd-content of ryegrass plants, but this decrease was less consistent where the pH had only been increased to 6. In some cases, acidifying the soil with S to reach a pH of 4 also led to a decrease in plant Cd-content. The Cd-content of rapeseed plants was markedly higher at pH 4 than at pH 5. Plant damage at low pH was observed in this crop. Water-leachable and CaCl2-extractable soil Cd levels as well as plant uptake were higher in the sand soil than in the clay soil, whereas 1M NH4AcO (buffered at pH 4.8 and 7) extracted roughly equal amounts from both soils. Adding more Cd to the soil did not change the relation between Cd levels in soil and those in plants; instead the amounts of Cd in both increased in direct proportion to the amounts added. Fixation of added Cd apparently did not occur continuously at any pH or Cd-level during the 2-yr period, but seasonal variations in solubility and uptake were observed.  相似文献

Abstract

In this study, a new parallel and sequential extraction procedure was proposed to investigate the solubility of metals [cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni)] and their association with soil components in naturally metal‐rich soils of Norway. Two different soils, alum shale (clay loam) and moraine (loam), developed on alum shale minerals were used. Each soil had two pH levels. For parallel and successive extractions, H2O, 0.1M NH4OAc (soil pH), 0.3M NH4OAc (soil pH), 1M NH4OAc (soil pH), and 1M NH4OAc (pH 5.0) were used. A significant amount of Cd was extracted by NH4O Ac related to concentration of NH4OAc in the extracting solution. The amounts of Zn, Cu, and Ni extracted by these reagents were almost negligible except with 1M NH4OAc (pH 5.0). Thus these metals were strongly bound to soil components. A seven step sequential extraction procedure was applied to evaluate the association of metals with soil constituents. The extractions were performed sequentially by extracting the soil with reagents having an increasing dissolution strength: 1M NH4OAc (soil pH), 1M NH4OAc (pH 5.0), 1M NH2OH.HCl (in 25% HOAc), 1M NH2OH.HCl (in 0.1M HNO3), 30% H2O2 (in 0.1M HNO3), 30% H2O2 (1M HNO3), and aqua regia. In both soils at both pH levels investigated, appreciable percentages of total Cd (20–50%) were found associated with the NH4OAc extractable fraction (mobile fraction). For Zn, Cu, and Ni, the percentage of total metal extracted with NH4OAc was low (<4%), but it increased significantly by introducing a reducing agent (NH2OH.HCl). The NH2OH.HCl‐extractable fraction was the greatest fraction (>60%) for all four metals examined. These results suggest that among the metals studied, only Cd was easily desorbed from soil and should be considered mobile and potentially bioavailable. Other metals (Zn, Cu, and Ni) were strongly associated with the soil components and should be considered less available to plants. Using the sequential fractionation technique as a measure of availability, mobility and potential bioavailability of these four metals in the alum shale soils were: Cd>Zn>Ni>Cu.  相似文献

Abstract

Different forms of soil aluminum (Al) are involved in the retention of anions and cations, phytotoxicity of Al in acid soils, CEC reduction and soil physical properties such as aggregate stability and water infiltration. Therefore it is desirable to quantify the different forms of Al in soil especially acidic soils. A rationale was developed from a literature survey to identify the following fractions of Al: (a) exchangeable quantified by 1M KC1 extraction; (b) organic bound quantified by 0.1M CuCl2 + 0.5M KCl extraction; (c) sorhed Al extractable with 1M NE4OAc at pH 4.0; (d) amorphous Al oxide and hydroxide and amorphous aluminosilicates (if present) extractable with 0.2M ammonium oxalate at pH 3.0; and (e) interlayered Al extractable with 0. 33M sodium citrate at pH 7.3. Pools (a), (b), and (c) are extracted sequentially. Amorphous Al oxide and hydroxide (pool d) is calculated from ammonium oxalate extractable Al minus (a + b + c). Interlayered Al is calculated from sodium citrate extractable Al minus ammonium oxalate extractable Al. The latter two extractions are done on separate subsamples of soils. From preliminary studies and data for 13 soil samples it is suggested that this fractionation of soil Al is more meaningful than that obtained by the KCl ‐> K4P2O7 ‐> ammonium oxalate > citrate‐bicarbonate‐dithionite extraction sequence.  相似文献

The success of risk assessment of metal contaminated soils depends on how precisely one can predict the bio-availability of metals in soil and transfer to the human food chain. In the present investigation, we tested several formulations of the ‘free-ion activity model (FIAM)’ to predict uptake of Cd, Zn and Cu by perpetual spinach (Beta vulgaris, Cicla) grown on a range of soils amended with sewage sludge. The model was parameterised using data measured on samples of pore water extracted by centrifugation and with porous Rhizon samplers installed within the rhizosphere of the growing plants. Free ion activities (M2+) were estimated following speciation of solution data using version 6 of the ‘Windermere Humic Aqueous Model (WHAM-VI). For all three metals, the best formulation of the FIAM appeared to require only one hypothetical root sorption site without competition from protons. Values of (M2+) could also be predicted satisfactorily from a pH-dependent Freundlich relation. Thus, from a combined FIAM–Freundlich relation and population dietary information, it was possible to estimate risk (hazard quotients) to consumers from very simple soil measurements: extractable metal content (0.05 M EDTA (Zn and Cu) or 1 M CaCl2 (Cd)), soil humus content and pH. The role of increased soil organic matter content and soil pH, in reducing risk to consumers, is illustrated for Cd in a hypothetical soil at the current UK statutory Cd limit for sludge application to agricultural land.  相似文献

There is considerable interest in the use of coal combustion byproducts as soil liming materials in agricultural production, but there is concern that such use may be detrimental to the quality of agricultural soils. To evaluate these byproducts as liming materials and address issues related to soil quality, we compared the influence of different amounts of four combustion byproducts [fly ash and bed ash from a fluidized bed combustion furnace, lime-injected multistage burner residue, and spray dryer residue] and CaCO3 on soil pH and activities of urease, phosphatase, arylsulfatase, and dehydrogenase in an acidic soil. Studies comparing the influence of the combustion byproducts and CaCO3 on soil pH showed that on a weight basis of application, substantial differences were observed in the ability of these materials to influence soil pH but that such differences decreased markedly after the data were transformed to a CaCO3 equivalent basis of application. Analysis of covariance for these transformed data indicated that whereas the liming abilities of fly ash and CaCO3 were not significantly different when compared on the CaCO3 equivalent basis, those of bed ash, multistage burner residue, and spray dryer residue were less than that of CaCO3. Studies comparing the influence of the byproducts and CaCO3 on soil enzyme activities showed that the effect of these liming materials on the enzyme activities studied was largely due to their influence on soil pH. The relationships obtained between soil pH and enzyme activities in soil amended with the liming materials generally demonstrated the marked similarities in the influence of the combustion byproducts and CaCO3 on these activities when observed within the domain of soil pH. These studies showed that the combustion byproducts tested functioned as soil liming materials in a manner similar to that of CaCO3 and seemed to have little adverse effect on soil quality.  相似文献

Abstract

General agreement does not exist as to the most appropriate method to estimate plant available Mn in soils. In the current investigation soil and soil solution Mn were measured in limed and unlimed treatments of 11 acidic subsoil horizons and related to plant Mn concentrations, Mn uptake and growth of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L. cv. Mt. Barker) and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum cv. Cave‐in‐Rock). Manganese measurements were taken at planting and harvest and included: Mn extracted by 1M NH4OAc (pH 7), 0.01M CaCl2, 0.05M CaCl2, 0.033M H3PO4, 0.005M DTPA, 0.2% hydroquinone in 1M NH4OAc (pH 7), 0.01M NH2 OH.HCl 4 2 in 0.01M HNO3, total soil solution Mn and concentrations and 2+ activities of Mn2+ calculated from the GEOCHEM program. Measured and calculated values of soil solution Mn generally gave the best correlations with subterranean clover and switchgrass Mn concentrations and Mn uptake. Root Mn concentrations were highly correlated with soil solution Mn measurements taken at harvest with r=0.97 and r=0.95 (p<0.01) for subterranean clover and switchgrass respectively. The Mn extracted by 0.01M CaCl was also significantly correlated (p<0.01) with plant Mn concentrations and Mn uptake and proved to be better than the other extractants in estimating plant available Mn. Although Mn concentrations as high as 1769 mg/kg (shoots) and 8489 rag/kg (roots) were found in subterranean clover, Mn did not appear to be the major factor limiting growth. Measures of soil and soil solution Mn were not strongly correlated with yield. Both Al toxicities and Ca deficiencies seemed to be more important than Mn toxicities in limiting growth of subterranean clover and switchgrass in these horizons.  相似文献

Summary NO and N2O release rates were measured in an acidic forest soil (pH 4.0) and a slightly alkaline agricultural soil (pH 7.8) after the pH was adjusted to values ranging from pH 4.0 to 7.8. The total release of NO and N2O during 20 h of incubation was determined together with the net changes in the concentrations of NH 4 + , NO 2 – and NO 3 – in the soil. The release of NO and N2O increased after fertilization with NH 4 + and/or NO 3 – ; it strongly decreased with increasing pH in the acidic forest soil; and it increased when the pH of the alkaline agricultural soil was decreased to pH 6.5. However, there was no simple correlation between NO and N2O release or between these compounds and activities such as the NO 2 – accumulation, NO 3 – reduction, or NH 4 + oxidation. We suggest that soil pH exerts complex controls, e.g., on microbial populations or enzyme activities involved in nitrification and denitrification.  相似文献

Abstract

Rates of substrate disappearance and product formation were compared as measures of urease enzyme activity in an NH4‐fixing and in a non‐fixing soil under tris‐, borate‐ or non‐buffered assay conditions over 4h at 37°C. Tris‐buffered urease activity of the NH4‐fixing soil was 119 μg urea‐N hydrol./g/h or 116 μg (KCl‐extractable) NH4‐N/g/h indicating prevention of NH4 fixation by the buffer; without tris, NH4 production rates amounted to only 35% of coresponding urea hydrolysis rates. Equal rates of urea disappear‐ ance and NH4 formation occurred in the non‐fixing soil irrespective of buffer amendment.

Tris‐inhibition of NH4 fixation during 4h incubation at 37°C, however, depended on NH4 Cl rate and buffer strength. 0.025–0.10 M tris (pH 9.0) reduced NH4 fixation to negligible amounts at < 0.03 M NH4C1 whereas, at 0.06–0.24 M NH4Cl, substantial NH4 fixation occurred in the presence of 0.05 M tris; NH4 fixation in unbuffered soil, however, always exceeded that in tris‐buffered soil. Borate buffer (0.06M, pH 10) did not influence the extent of NH4 fixation.

Tris significantly enhanced urea hydrolysis in the slightly acid, non‐fixing soil but not in the moderately alkaline NH4 ‐fixing soil indicating an effect of soil type on pH optima of urease enzyme activity. The urease activities of both soils in borate were considerably lower than in tris, possibly because of the combined effects of excess alkalinity and high substrate concentration.  相似文献

Soil soluble organic nitrogen (SON) can play an important role in soil nitrogen (N) cycling in forest ecosystems. This study examined the effect of land-use change from a native forest (NF) to a first rotation (1R) and subsequent second rotation (2R) hoop pine (Araucaria cunninghamii) plantation on soil SON pools. The impact of residue management on SON pools was also investigated in the 2R forest, where SON was measured in tree rows (2R-T) and windrows (2R-W). Various extraction techniques were used to measure SON pool size in the 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm layers of soil. The results showed that land-use change had a significant impact on soil SON pools. In the 0-10 cm layer, 3.2-8.7, 14-23, 20-28, 60-160 and 127-340 mg SON kg−1 were extracted by water, 0.5 M K2SO4, 2 M KCl, hot water and hot 2 M KCl, respectively. The size of the SON pools and the potential production of SON (PPSON) were generally highest in the NF soil and lowest in the 2R-T soil, and in all forest types decreased with soil depth. The larger SON pools in the NF soil coincided with lower soil, litter and root C:N ratios, suggesting that the difference in the size of SON pools between the NF and 1R soil may be related to differences in the quality of organic matter input under the different forest ecosystems. Differences in the size of SON pools between the 1R soil and the 2R soils and between the 2R-T soil and the 2R-W soil may be related to the quantity of organic matter input and time since disturbance. Significant relationships were found between the SON extracted by 0.5 M K2SO4 (SONps) and 2 M KCl (SONKCl), and also among the SON extracted by hot 2 M KCl (SONhKCl), hot water (SONhw) and water (SONw), suggesting that the organic N released by these groups of extracts may be at least partly from similar pools.  相似文献

Phosphodiesterase together with brown-coloured compounds was extracted from a forest soil using 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7). Use of KCl and EDTA with the buffer facilitated phosphodiesterase extraction. Distilled water extracted little enzyme activity. A curvilinear relationship such as the Langmuir type was found between solution volume and phosphodiesterase activity of the extract. The results implied that the phosphodiesterase extracted was extracellular and was adsorbed on the surface of soil particles by ionic bonding. Brown-coloured compounds in the extract were removed by precipitation with protamine sulfate. The phosphodiesterase activity of the extract treated with protamine sulfate was lost on keeping at 80°C for 10 min and was optimal at pH 5.2–6.0. The extract hydrolyzed either the 3'- or the 5'-phosphodiester bond of deoxythymidine p-nitrophenyl phosphate.  相似文献

Abstract

Extractants employed for routine soil analysis vary from one laboratory to another. Lack of a universal soil extractant is a serious limitation for interpretation of analytical results from various laboratories on nutritional status of a given soil. This limitation can be overcome by developing functional relationships for concentrations of a given nutrient extractable by various extradants. In this study, extractability of Ca, Mg, P, and K in a wide range of soils (0–15 cm) from citrus groves in Florida representing 21 soil series, with varying cultural operations, were compared using Mehlich 3 (M3), Mehlich 1 (M1), ammonium acetate (NH4AOc), pH = 7.0 (AA), 0.2M ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), and ammonium bicarbonate‐DTPA (AB‐DTPA) extractants. Soil pH (0.01M CaCl2) varied from 3.57 to 7.28. The concentrations of Ca or Mg extractable by M3, M1, AA, and NH4Cl were strongly correlated with soil pH (r2 = 0.381–0.482). Weak but significant correlations were also found between AB‐DTPA extractable Ca or Mg and soil pH (r2 = 0.235–0.278). Soil pH relationships with extractable K were rather weak (r2 = < 0.131) for M1 and NH4Cl but non‐significant for M3, AB‐DTPA, and AA. Concentrations of Ca, Mg, and K extractable by M3 were significantly correlated with those by either M1, AA, or NH4Cl extractants. Mehlich 3‐P was significantly correlated with P extractable by M1 extractant only. Mehlich 3 versus AB‐DTPA relationship was strong for K (r2 = 0.964), weaker for Mg and P (r2 = 0.180–0.319), and non‐significant for Ca. With the increasing emphasis on possible use of M3 as an universal soil extractant, data from this study support the hypothesis that M3 can be adapted as a suitable extractant for routine soil analysis.  相似文献

EDTA extracts (pH 7.5–10.5) from a Danish sandy loam showed no significant (95% level) increase in amounts of aluminium, calcium, iron, and magnesium between three and nine months' shaking. The amounts were independent of the soil: solution ratio (1:10–1:50), the EDTA concentration (0.01 M–0.2 M), and crushing the soil (< 0.25 mm or < 2 mm). IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction showed no change in the mineral composition of the soil during the extraction. The extracted iron was equal to that extracted after 2 h by ammonium oxalate at pH 3.0. EDTA extraction at pH > 7.5 seems to extract selectively iron oxides with solubility products > ～ 10?41.  相似文献

In a greenhouse experiment, effects of different phosphate fertilizer applications on soil Cd extracted by DTPA and NH4NO3 in relation to plant uptake of Cd were investigated. The soils used were a sand and a loam treated with lime to achieve three pHs ranging from 4.77 to 5.94 for the sandy soil and 4.97 to 6.80 for the loam soil. Oat (Avena sativa L.), ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.), carrot (Daucus carota L.), and spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), were used as test species. Application of the high-Cd NPK fertilizer (adding 12.5 μg Cd kg?1 soil) significantly increased the extractable soil Cd, especially the DTPA-extractable Cd. Use of phosphate rock adding as much Cd as the high-Cd NPK fertilizer did not increase the extractable Cd in either of the soils. Both DTPA- and NH4NO3-extractable Cd decreased with the increases in soil pH. The Cd concentrations and total Cd uptake of plants were significantly correlated with the soil Cd extracted by DTPA and NH4NO3.  相似文献

The influence of pH was examined, over the range from 6 to 14, on the amounts of p-hydroxybenzoic, vanillic, p-coumaric, ferulic and syringic acids, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and vanillin, extracted from four soils and associated roots or leaf litter. Adjustment of pH was obtained by the addition of graded amounts of Ca(OH)2 to water or by 2 m NaOH. The roots associated with three of the soils were from permanent pasture, perennial ryegrass and red clover, while the leaf litter associated with the fourth soil was from beech.The amounts of each phenolic compound extracted increased continuously with increasing pH, from a “threshold” value which varied between pH 7.5 and 10.5. The amounts extracted by water alone from the soil under permanent pasture, at pH 5.8, were equivalent to concentrations in the soil solution ranging from 1.4 μm for p-hydroxybenzoic acid to < 10 nm for ferulie acid. Amounts of up to 2000 times greater than these were extracted by 2 m NaOH. Similar effects of extractant pH were found with the other soils.Comparisons of the amounts of the phenolic compounds extracted from the soils, with the amounts extracted from the associated roots or leaf litter, suggested that substantial proportions of the soil phenolic compounds were either derived from organic residues more than 4 yr old or were the result of microbial synthesis.  相似文献

Atmospheric emissions of fly ash and SO2 from lignite-fired power plants strongly affect large forest areas in Germany. The impact of different deposition loads on the microbial biomass and enzyme activities was studied at three forest sites (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) along an emission gradient of 3, 6, and 15 km downwind of a coal-fired power plant (sites Ia, II, and III, respectively), representing high, moderate and low emission rates. An additional site (site Ib) at a distance of 3 km from the power plant was chosen to study the influence of forest type on microbial parameters in coniferous forest soils under fly ash and SO2 emissions. Soil microbial biomass C and N, CO2 evolved and activities of l-asparaginase, l-glutaminase, β -glucosidase, acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase (expressed on dry soil and organic C basis) were determined in the forest floor (L, Of and Oh horizon) and mineral top soil (0-10 cm). The emission-induced increases in ferromagnetic susceptibility, soil pH, concentrations of mobile (NH4NO3 extractable) Cd, Cr, and Ni, effective cation exchange capacity and base saturation in the humus layer along the 15 km long transect significantly (P<0.05) reflected the effect of past depositions of alkaline fly ash. Soil microbial and biochemical parameters were significantly (P<0.05) affected by chronic fly ash depositions. The effect of forest type (i.e. comparison of sites Ia and Ib) on the studied parameters was generally dominated by the deposition effect. Alkaline depositions significantly (P<0.05) decreased the microbial biomass C and N, microbial biomass C-to-N ratios and microbial biomass C-to-organic C ratios. Microbial respiration, metabolic quotient (qCO2) and the activities of l-asparaginase, l-glutaminase, β-glucosidase, acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase were increased by long-term depositions from the power plants. Acid phosphatase had the highest specific (enzyme activities expressed per unit organic C) activity values among the enzymes studied and arylsulfatase the lowest. The responses of the microbial biomass and soil respiration data to different atmospheric deposition loads were mainly controlled by the content of organic C and cation exchange capacity, while those of enzyme activities were governed by the soil pH and concentrations of mobile heavy metals. We concluded that chronic fly ash depositions decrease litter decomposition by influencing specific microbial and enzymatic processes in forest soils.  相似文献

Microbial properties such as microbial biomass carbon (MBC), arylsulfatase, β-glucosidase and dehydrogenase activities, and microbial heterotrophic potential, together with several chemical properties such as pH, CaCl2 soluble heavy metal concentrations, total organic carbon and hydrosoluble carbon were measured to evaluate changes in soil quality, after “in situ” remediation of a heavy metal-contaminated soil from the Aznalcóllar mine accident (Southern Spain, 1998). The experiment was carried out using containers, filled with soil from the affected area. Four organic amendments (a municipal waste compost, a biosolid compost, a leonardite and a litter) and an inorganic amendment (sugarbeet lime) were mixed with the top soil at the rate of 100 Mg ha−1. Unamended soil was used as control. Agrostis stolonifera L. was sown in the containers. The soil was sampled twice: one month and six months after amendment application. In general, these amendments improved the soil chemical properties: soil pH, total organic carbon and hydrosoluble carbon increased in the amended soils, while soluble heavy metal concentrations diminished. At the same time, higher MBC, enzyme activities and maximum rate of glucose mineralization values were found in the organically amended soils. Plant cover was also important in restoring the soil chemical and microbial properties in all the soils, but mainly in those that were not amended organically. As a rule, remediation measures improved soil quality in the contaminated soils.  相似文献

Porous hydrated calcium silicate (PS) is a by-product of autoclave light weight concrete and is being used as a silicon fertilizer in Japan. The impacts of this amendment on the yield and cadmium content of rice (Orzya sativa L. var. Kokoromachi), soil pH and the extractability of soil cadmium assessed by 1 M NH4OAc were compared with those of silica gel and CaCO3 by pot experiments. The application of PS at the rate of 2.0% and silica gel at the rate of 1.0% in Andosol and PS at the rate of 0.75% in Alluvial soil significantly increased the grain weight of rice. PS and CaCO3 treatment significantly increased soil pH, decreased the 1 M NH4OAc extractability of cadmium and reduced cadmium content in straw and brown rice in the two soils. However, cadmium content of rice of PS treatments was not significantly different from that of CaCO3 treatments in Andosol, while was significantly lower than that of CaCO3 treatments in Alluvial soil. Soil analysis showed that it was less effective in increasing soil pH and decreasing the extractability of cadmium by 1 M NH4OAc than CaCO3 at the same application rate in Andosol. Soil pH and 1 M NH4OAc extractability of cadmium were not significantly different between 2.0% of PS and CaCO3 treatments in Alluvial soil. The application of silica gel did not improve soil pH nor decrease the extractability of soil cadmium, but resulted in a significant decline of cadmium content in brown rice. These results demonstrate that the supply of silicon together with an increase in soil pH, as obtained by PS application, shows potential to reduce the cadmium content of rice.  相似文献
