The effects of applied crop residues on losses of Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn in run-off from a soil prone to crusting

Tillage practices may reduce the organic matter content in near-surface soil horizons causing crust formation. Surface conditions may cause an increase in surface run-off, thus enhancing contaminant transfer of heavy metals or an acceleration in nutrient loss. This study examines the effect of applying crop residues to the surface of tilled soils on heavy metal losses by run-off. Losses in iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) were analysed. Run-off and sediment yield were measured on 1 m² plots using a rainfall simulator with a constant 65 mm/h intensity. Four successive rainfall applications were performed, the first three at 25 mm each and the last at 65 mm. Added corn straw varied between 0 and 4 t/ha in the five studied treatments. After 140 mm cumulative rainfall, total heavy metal losses were as follows: Fe from 137 to 950 mg/L, Mn from 2.3 to 12.83 mg/L, Cu from 0.09 to 0.72 mg/L and Zn from 0.31 to 2.46 mg/L. Dissolved fractions were as follows: Fe from 0.014 to 0.229 mg/L, Mn from 0.034 to 1.45 mg/L, Cu from 0.002 to 0.013 mg/L and Zn from 0.02 to 0.12 mg/L. Total concentrations of the studied elements decreased exponentially due to the effect of corn straw on soil loss. However, dissolved contents of Fe and Cu scarcely varied. Significant positive linear correlations were observed between total heavy metal content and soil and sediment loss by run-off. It is concluded that the addition of straw to a soil of low fertility prevents heavy metal loss.     

Phosphorus losses in surface run-off from grazed permanent pastures on a volcanic soil from Chile

Reactive (RP) and organic phosphorus (OP) losses from grazed paddocks were determined on a volcanic soil during 2004 and 2005. Paddocks were grazed by Holstein Friesian steers (3.5 steers ha^?1) and received N (67.5 kg ha^?1) and P fertilizer (30 kg P ha^?1). Total losses ranged between 4 and 15 g P ha^?1 year^?1 and were greatly affected by incidental P losses associated with spring P fertilizer application. Reactive P constituted 90% of the total losses on average. Due to the high water infiltration capacity of the soil, run‐off was <1% of total drainage, therefore, phosphorus losses in run‐off were small.

An evaluation of furrows for managing soil and water loss from a shallow Alfisol under simulated rainfall

Furrows are widely used in rainfed areas of semi-arid India for soil and water conservation. The orientation of furrows, either down or across slope, and their spacing influence the effectiveness of furrows as soil and water conservation measures. We evaluated treatments with furrows aligned down and across 3% sloping land at spacings of 90, 60 and 30 cm under simulated rainfall intensities of 80 and 100 mm/h on a shallow Alfisol. A bare plot without any furrows was considered as a control. A large (24 m × 3 m) rainfall simulator developed at the Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture (CRIDA), Hyderabad, was used for this controlled study. Run-off was measured by a calibrated tipping bucket run-off recorder. The effects of the treatments on peak flow rate (L/s), sediment loss with run-off water (kg/ha/mm), peak sediment concentration (g/L), run-off (per cent rainfall) and time to peak (min) were investigated. When compared with the control (no furrows), across slope furrowing with 60- and 30-cm spacing reduced sediment yields by 19.9 and 21.3 kg/ha/mm of run-off, respectively, under a rainfall intensity of 80 mm/h and 24 and 25.3 kg/ha/mm of run-off, respectively, under a rainfall intensity of 100 mm/h. For the control, sediment loss was 50.72 kg/ha/mm run-off and 56.68 kg/ha/mm run-off for rainfall intensities of 80 and 100 mm/h, respectively. Similar trends were recorded from observations of peak flow, time to peak and peak sediment concentration. Run-off hydrographs demonstrated the conservation value of across slope furrowing by delaying run-off initiation, reducing run-off and slowly releasing the run-off after the cessation of rainfall. The results show that furrow orientation has major effects on reducing run-off, whereas furrow spacing has insignificant effects.     

Tillage, mineralization and leaching: phosphate

Phosphate is usually the limiting nutrient for the formation of algal blooms in freshwater bodies, so tillage practices must minimize phosphate losses by leaching and surface run-off from cultivated land. Mineral soils usually contain 30–70% of their phosphate in organic forms, and both organic and inorganic phosphate are found in the soil solution. Some organic phosphates, notably the inositol phosphates, are as strongly sorbed by soil as inorganic phosphates, and this decreases their susceptibility to mineralization. The strength with which both categories are sorbed lessens the risk of their being leached as solutes but makes it more likely that they will be carried from the soil on colloidal or particulate matter, and the greatest losses of phosphate from the soil usually occur by surface run-off and erosion. Recent studies at Rothamsted have, however, shown substantial concentrations of phosphate in drainage from plots that have long received more phosphate as fertilizer than is removed in crops. These losses probably occurred because preferential water flow carried the phosphate rapidly from the surface soil to the field drains. For lessening losses of phosphate by leaching and run-off, the prime requirement of tillage is that it should encourage flows of water through the soil that help it to retain phosphate. Primary and secondary tillage should ensure that the surface roughness and porosity of the top-soil encourage the flow of water into the soil matrix where it will move relatively slowly and allow phosphate to be sorbed, thereby avoiding problems from run-off and preferential flow. Inversion tillage can be useful for lessening the loss of phosphate by run-off and erosion. Secondary tillage could be used to decrease the size of the aggregates and increase the surface area for sorption. Although tillage will increase the mineralization of organic phosphate, pulses of mineralization are unlikely to be so rapid or to lead to such large losses as with nitrate. The strength with which phosphate is sorbed also lessens the problem. As with nitrate, the key to managing phosphate is basically good husbandry.

Recommended urban storm water infiltration devices for different types of run-off under varying hydrogeological conditions

Background, aim, and scope  The decentralised near-natural infiltration of storm water in urban areas over a long-term period can cause local pollution of soil, seepage water and groundwater due to heavy metals (e.g. Pb, Zn, Cu), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), petroleum hydrocarbons and readily soluble salts, which compounds are partly classified as hazardous. The aim of this paper is to present a recommendation matrix for suitable storm water infiltration devices. The scope is limited to eight different run-off types and two different infiltration devices (swales and trenches with three different trench-filling materials) under two different hydrogeological conditions (high adsorbing soil with low permeability, low adsorbing soil with high permeability). The examined run-off types are sub-divided as follows: run-off from unpaved areas (gardens, grassed areas, cultivated land); green roofs, aluminium roofs; roofs without zinc gutters and down-pipes; roofs with zinc gutters and down-pipes; copper roofs; zinc roofs and trafficked areas (cycle and pedestrian ways, yards, car parks and residential roads). The recommendation matrix should assist decision-makers such as city planners, architects and private house builders. Materials and methods  The potential for storm water infiltration to pollute soil, seepage water and groundwater is investigated with long-term 3-D numerical water flow and chemical transport modelling in unsaturated and saturated zones over 50 years, which were already presented by Zimmermann et al. (Water Sci Technol 51(2):11–19, 2005). The recommendation is based on a comparison between modelling results and several guideline values prepared by several German authorities. The evaluation process leads to four hazard levels regarding the impact on topsoil (i.e. first 20 cm of the soil), on seepage water (1 m below the infiltration device) and on groundwater (at the unsaturated–saturated boundary). Results  The recommendation matrix consists of 56 individual statements. Relating to dissolved organic substances like phenanthrene and fluoranthene, the infiltration of trafficked areas run-off is critical. The infiltration of metalliferous run-off has a high hazard accumulation potential. Here the storm water infiltration via sub-ground of low permeability and high adsorbing soil material is critical for seepage water in any case; the infiltration of zinc roofs run-off via trench infiltration devices is even critical for groundwater at 4 m depth. Sub-ground of low permeability and high adsorbing soil material has a lower potential hazard in terms of storm water infiltration from roof run-off. The storm water infiltration via swales effects a very large accumulation of heavy metals in the topsoil. The storm water infiltration via trenches leads to the accumulation of hazardous substances in the deeper sub-ground, particularly where the trench-filling material has low adsorbing capacity and high permeability. Discussion  The transferability of the results to other sites depends particularly on the hydrogeological conditions. Before using the recommendation matrix, details of the hydrogeological conditions should be collected. The long-term simulation process is simplified by several impact factors such as non-constant rainfall, soils heterogeneity, macro-porous flow, particle-bounded transport and microbiological decomposition. Conclusions  Based on the scale of risks to soils, seepage water and groundwater, the matrix should be used in the selection of the roof construction materials and appropriate storm water infiltration devices so that the environmental risks can be minimised. If the sub-ground has a high permeability and low adsorption capacities, the infiltration of metalliferous roof run-off water is, in general, not advisable without putting treatment facilities in place upstream. Thus, architects need to realise that the choice of a suitable infiltration device depends, on the one hand, on the type of run-off and, on the other hand, on the hydrogeological condition and the building materials. Recommendations and perspectives  Replacement of the topsoil in swale infiltration devices is recommended because, in particular, heavy metal (zinc) in run-off from roofs with zinc gutters and down-pipes accumulates in the soil matrix. The replacement interval depends on the hydrogeological conditions and, for this run-off example, lies between 10 and 20 years. If infiltration is essential, constructing special treatment facilities upstream can be an alternative. The existing numerical model could be adapted to suit other site-specific materials and be enhanced regarding several complex impact factors.     

Nutrient losses by surface run-off from soils with winter cover crops and spring-ploughed soils in the south of Sweden

Winter cover crops are used as a method of reducing nitrogen (N) losses from arable land in several countries, but their effect on phosphorus (P) losses is poorly documented. Run-off and losses of nutrients and soil were measured from a clay loam with autumn-ploughed and spring-ploughed plots and from plots with winter wheat during three winter seasons (1993–1996) in Holland County in south western Sweden. The run-off water was collected in troughs dug into the soil at the end of collecting slopes placed in the experimental plots. As a result of the weather, there was only one winter in which surface run-off occurred to any great extent. On average, 75% of P was in particulate form (P_part). Neither winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) nor catch crops of English ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) reduced losses of P_part when compared with losses from autumn-ploughed soil; and losses from spring-ploughed soil containing stubble and weeds were no lower than those from autumn-ploughed soil. Losses of P_part from all treatments were moderate considering its low bio-availability. Concentrations of phosphate phosphorus (PO₄-P) were low, with a mean 0.04 mg 1⁻¹. Despite a significant increase in losses of PO₄-P from spring-ploughed soil covered with stubble and catch crops or weeds compared with that in autumn-ploughed soil, the extra input from this P source was at most 2 g ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹. This mass loss was equal to 0.5 g kg⁻¹ of the total mass of P in the vegetation. Thus, only very small extra P surface losses were found with winter cover crops compared with those with bare soils. N losses in run-off were low in all treatments.
