土壤铅镉污染修复中植物修复技术的研究进展

近年来,由于工业"三废"治理不彻底、化肥农药的过量使用以及剩余污泥回用农田等原因,导致我国土壤重金属污染日趋严重。重金属无法被降解,易在土壤中累积,并通过生物富集和生物放大效应对环境和人类健康造成危害。土壤重金属污染修复与治理成为研究热点。重金属污染治理包括客土法、石灰改良法、化学淋洗法、植物修复等,这些方法各具特点,均有其适用范围,得到国内外学者的普遍关注。文章针对土壤铅镉污染的植物修复技术展开综述,并对可能影响植物修复的一些因素进行了介绍,最后对本领域的研究方向进行了展望,以期为同行业的从业者提供一定的借鉴。     

Genetic Variation in Cadmium Accumulation and Tolerance among Wheat Cultivars at the Seedling Stage

Exploitation of genetic differences to select wheat cultivars’ pollution-safe from cadmium (Cd) contamination requires better understanding of Cd uptake and translocation patterns. For this purpose, 15 wheat cultivars were grown in nutrient solution and exposed to four levels of Cd, i.e., 0, 15, 30, and 45 µM. The plants were harvested after 2 weeks of Cd exposure. Root and shoot relative dry matter (DM) was decreased in most of the cultivars, but some cultivars did not exhibit any toxic symptoms. The lowest Cd concentration in shoots was recorded for Lasani-2008 and Iqbal-2000 while the highest for Sehar-2006 and Inqlab-91. Both root absorption and translocation accounted for regulating Cd concentration in shoots. There was no relationship between relative DM and Cd concentrations in roots and shoots. The results suggest that wheat cultivars with low shoot Cd concentration but higher tolerance, i.e. Lasani-2008 and Iqbal-2000, could be used in breading programs for low Cd wheat.

Cu-tolerant Sinorhizobium meliloti strain is beneficial for growth,Cu accumulation,and mineral uptake of alfalfa plants grown in Cu excess

In this work, we have compared the physiological responses of alfalfa plants inoculated with either Sinorhizobium meliloti strain S412 (Cu-tolerant) or S112 (Cu-sensitive) in the presence or absence of 0.5 mM of CuSO₄. The addition of copper (Cu) introduced a decrease of nodule number and their dry weight (DW) in both symbioses. The interaction established with the Cu-sensitive strain is more affected by Cu than that with the tolerant one. In fact, plants inoculated with the sensitive strain revealed a decrease of shoot and root DW, larger than that found in plants inoculated with the tolerant strain. However, under copper supply, Medicago sativa with the Cu-tolerant strain did not show any significant changes in both shoot and root biomass production. Under Cu excess, high levels of Cu were detected in different parts of the plant in the two symbioses and a high translocation of Cu to aerial parts was shown with the strain S412. Plants with S412 were able to accumulate large quantities of calcium (Ca) in their roots and nodules. While Ca content decreased drastically in shoot at 0.5 mM of Cu treatment. Moreover, nodulation with S412 allowed plants to maintain high levels of magnesium (Mg) in all tissues and high iron (Fe) levels in nodules. Results suggest that this symbiotic pair could be used in phytostabilization of Cu-contaminated soils.     

Rehabilitation of the nematode fauna in a phytostabilized,heavily zinc-contaminated,sandy soil

Background Aim and Scope  The Maatheide in Lommel, Belgium, is an extremely metal contaminated, sandy area where vegetation has disappeared over ca. 130 hectares due to the activities of a former pyrometallurgical zinc smelter. To reduce the environmental impact of this area a rehabilitation strategy had to be developed. Therefore, in the centre of this area, an experimental phytostabilization (grass) field of three hectares had been installed in 1990. After a grass cover had been established, the development of the nematode fauna in the phyto-stabilized soil was studied. Nematodes act at various levels in soil ecosystems: herbivorous species extract their food from plant roots, bacterivorous and fungivorous species feed on microbes, predatory species consume other nematodes, and omnivorous species have mixed diets. In a mature soil ecosystem that normally exercises its manifold functions, a diverse nematode fauna occurs, reflecting the intactness of the ecosystem. As such, this fauna is indicative of crop growth, vegetative diversity, organic matter decomposition, microbial activity and diversity, and the maturity of the soil ecosystem. Methods  A metal immobilizing soil amendment (beringite) and municipal waste compost (to improve the nutrient status and water-retaining capacity) were incorporated in the soil and metal tolerant ecotypes of grasses were sown. Soil samples for nematode analyses were taken four times. Results  As a result of the treatment, pH of the soil increased and the water extractable amount of Zn was strongly reduced. Grass growth revitalized the impoverished soil ecosystem, organisms as well as metabolic processes. The nematode fauna of the experimental field in the Maatheide has been studied since 1997 and the recovery of the various feeding guilds and taxa was checked again in 2002. Nematode densities and feeding guilds have normalized, with omnivores and predators as the last guilds to reappear. Up to 27 species with a current diversity were observed in the grass-covered experimental plot, but a number of ubiquitous species, present at a comparable site at some distance, remained absent. Conclusion  It can thus be concluded that rehabilitation of an impoverished soil ecosystem is possible in heavily contaminated soils by means of phytostabilization, but there are some limitations on rehabilitation, since a number of common nematode species remained absent. Further research should indicate if this absence is indicative of a loss of essential processes in the soil. Recommendation and Perspective. Phytostabilization of heavily zinc-contaminated, sandy soil also remediates impoverished soil ecosystems. In particular, the recovery of nematode feeding categories is indicative for the normalization of soil life. The absence/presence of a number of ubiquitous taxa should be checked again after some time to verify if recovery is completed.     

Phytoremediation of Vineyard Copper-Contaminated Soil and Copper Mining Waste by a High Potential Bioenergy Crop (Helianthus annus L.)

Phytoremediation is a helpful technique to remediate copper-contaminated areas. The aim of this study was to evaluate sunflower phytoremediation capacity in two vineyard copper-contaminated soils (Inceptisol and Mollisol) and a copper mining waste. Nutrient uptake, copper phytoaccumulation, translocation factor (TF), and bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of sunflower were evaluated after 57 days of growth. Plants grown in both the Mollisol and Inceptisol soils showed high plant height. Fresh biomass was high in the Mollisol in the shoots and roots and also demonstrated the highest values on the tolerance index (TI). The BCF after growth in all three of the copper contaminated soils as Inceptisol, Mollisol, and copper mining waste showed reduction of this index value to 0.19, 0.24, and 0.03, respectively against native soil (Mollisol under natural conditions (4.71). Sunflowers have some important characteristics such as high phytomass production, copper phytoaccumulation, and potential use to biofuel. Thus, sunflower is a potential candidate to phytoremediation of vineyard copper-contaminated soils.     

Contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and soil amendments to remediation of a heavy metal-contaminated soil using sweet sorghum

Owing to their potential advantages such as waste reduction, recycling, and economic attributes, fast-growing bioenergy crops have the capacity to effectively phytoremediate heavy metal-contaminated soils. However, little is known about the role of microbial and chemical amendments in phytoremediation using bioenergy crops. Here, we studied the contributions of inoculation with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Acaulospora mellea ZZ and three soil amendments, i.e., hydroxyapatite (HAP), manure, and biochar, at doses of 0.1% and 1% (weight:weight) to heavy metal phytoremediation using sweet sorghum grown on an abandoned agricultural soil, with environmentally realistic contamination (2.6 mg kg^-1 Cd, 1 796 mg kg^-1 Pb, and 1 603 mg kg^-1 Zn), in a plant growth chamber. Mycorrhizal colonization, plant biomass and metal accumulation, metal availability, and soil pH were determined in harvested seedlings 12 weeks after sowing. The results showed that root colonization by indigenous AMF decreased by 28%-46% with HAP, but increased after manure and biochar applications as compared to the no amendment control (CK). The AMF inoculation increased root colonization rates by 16%-128% and in particular, alleviated the inhibition of HAP. The remediation effects were highly dependent on the amendment type and dose. Among the three soil amendments, HAP was the most effective in promoting plant growth and phytostabilization of Cd, Pb, and Zn and phytoextraction of Cd, particularly at a dose of 1%. Compared to CK, 1% HAP decreased DTPA-extractable Cd, Pb, and Zn concentrations in soil by 31%-43%, 30%-38%, and 22%-23%, respectively. Manure and biochar also exerted positive effects on heavy metal immobilization, as indicated by lower DTPA extractability, but only the 1% manure treatment showed plant growth-promoting effect. The AMF inoculation did not affect plant growth, but increased soil pH and induced synergistic interactions with amendments on the immobilization of Cd and Pb. In conclusion, soil amendments, particularly HAP, produced positive impacts and synergistic interactions with AMF on the phytostabilization of heavy metals using sweet sorghum. Accordingly, sweet sorghum combined with soil amendments and AMF may be an effective strategy for heavy metal phytoremediation.     

Chelate-enhanced phytoextraction and phytostabilization of lead-contaminated soils by carrot (Daucus carota)

The objective of this study was to study the influence of different ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA), nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and oxalic acid (HOx) concentrations on tolerance and lead (Pb) accumulation capacity of carrot (Daucus carota). The results indicated that by increasing Pb, NTA and HOx concentrations in the soil, the shoot, taproot and capillary root dry matters increase effectively. In contrary, EDTA caused to reduce capillary roots biomass. EDTA was more effective than NTA and HOx in solubilizing soil Pb. The highest Pb content in shoots (342.2 ± 13.9 mg kg^?1) and taproots (301 ± 15.5 mg kg^?1) occurred in 10 mM EDTA, while it occurred for capillary roots (1620 ± 24.6 mg kg^?1) in 5 mM HOx, when the soil Pb concentration was 800 mg kg^?1. The obtained high phytoextraction and phytostabilization potentials were 1208 (±25.6) and 11.75 (±0.32) g Pb ha^?1 yr^?1 in 10 mmol EDTA kg^?1 soil and no chelate treatments, respectively. It may be concluded that chelate application increases Pb uptake by carrots. Consequently, this plant can be introduced as a hyperaccumulator to phytoextract and phytostabilize Pb from contaminated soils.     

植物根际促生菌辅助红麻修复铅污染土壤

通过盆栽实验研究土壤Pb浓度对经济作物红麻（Hibiscuscannabinus）生长、富集及转运Pb的影响,并将具有较强Pb抗性的植物根际促生菌（PGPR）DBM1（Arthrobactersp．）接种至红麻根际,考察Pb胁迫下PGPR对红麻的促生作用,以探索利用PGPR辅助重金属耐性植物红麻对Pb污染土壤进行植物稳定修复的可行性。结果表明,土壤Pb浓度和接菌处理均显著影响红麻的生长。红麻对Pb具有较高耐性,可通过将Ph富集在根部,并抑制其向地上部转移,从而在中低Pb（Pb400和Pb800处理）污染土壤中良好定植和生长。土壤Pb浓度达到1600mg·kg^-1时,红麻生长开始受到Ph胁迫的抑制,红麻通过自身胁迫抵抗机制缓解Pb毒性。接种DBM1可有效促进红麻的生长,提高红麻叶绿素含量。DBM1对红麻的促生作用是由胁迫诱导的特性,在高Pb胁迫下促生效果更显著。因此,可利用植物根际促生茵DBM1辅助红麻对高Pb污染土壤进行植物稳定修复,在促进红麻生长的同时,有效抑制Pb向红麻地上部的转移。
