Rapid development of enhanced atrazine degradation in a Dundee silt loam soil under continuous corn and in rotation with cotton

Mississippi Delta cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in rotation with corn (Zea mays L.) was evaluated in field experiments from 2000 to 2005 at Stoneville, Mississippi. Plots maintained under minimum tillage were established in 2000 on a Dundee silt loam with treatments including continuous cotton or corn and alternate cotton-corn rotations. Mineralization and dissipation of 14C [ring]-labeled atrazine were evaluated in the laboratory on soils collected prior to herbicide application in the first, second, third, and sixth years of the study. In soils collected in 2000, a maximum of 10% of the atrazine was mineralized after 30 days. After 1 year of herbicide application, atrazine-treated soils mineralized 52-57% of the radiolabeled atrazine in 30 days. By the sixth year of the study, greater than 59% of the atrazine was mineralized after 7 days in soils treated with atrazine, while soils from plots with no atrazine treatment mineralized less than 36%. The data also indicated rapid development of enhanced atrazine degradation in soils following 1 year of corn production with atrazine use. Atrazine mineralization was as rapid in soils under a rotation receiving biannual atrazine applications as in soils under continuous corn receiving annual applications of atrazine. Cumulative mineralization kinetics parameters derived from the Gompertz model (k and ti) were highly correlated with a history of atrazine application and total soil carbon content. Changes in the soil microbial community assessed by total fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis indicated significant interactions of cropping system and sampling date, with FAME indicators for soil bacteria responsible for differences in community structure. Autoclaved soil lost all ability to mineralize atrazine, and atrazine-mineralizing bacteria were isolated from these plots, confirming the biological basis for atrazine mineralization. These results indicate that changes in degradative potential of a soil can occur rapidly and some changes in soil properties may be associated with cropping systems, which can contribute to enhanced atrazine degradation potential.

Mineralization of physically fractionated rotten plant residues under upland conditions

A well-rotten mixture of rice straw and calcium cyanamide (rice straw compost prepared indoors) was separated physically into four fractions using a combination of methods which involved sieving, sedimentation and centrifugation. The four fractions obtained were Fl-3 (>0.043 mm), F4 (sedimented at 4°C), F5 (sedimented by centrifugation at 10⁴ × g for 10 min) and F6 (supernatant). The air-dried and pulverized fractions were mixed with upland soils and incubated for 4 weeks at 30°C under upland conditions. The amount of nitrogen mineralized in each fraction was determined, In a red yellow soil, 11.2% of the organic nitrogen present in the unfractionated, air-dried sample was mineralized, compared with 6.8% in volcanic ash soil. The contribution of fraction F5 to the total amount of mineralized nitrogen in wet compost was the highest, followed by F6. Fraction Fl-3 showed immobilization of inorganic nitrogen in both soil types. On the other hand, fractionated samples obtained after air-drying the wet compost showed no immobilization for Fl-3, although the values obtained for other fractions were similar to those obtained for the corresponding fractions of wet compost.

Well-rotten plant residues such as rice straw (compost prepared outdoors), Timothy and Ladino clover were air-dried, then separated into fractions and analyzed for elementary composition as well as inorganic nitrogen content using the same procedures. Although the amounts of mineralized nitrogen were higher in fractions F5 and F6 compared with other fractions, the values were much lower compared with those of undecomposed plant residues.

It was found that the amount of organic nitrogen mineralized in soil was affected not only by the C/N ratio of the plant residues but also by the differences in characteristics or properties of the plant materials and soils.     

Methyl parathion degradation in soil: Influence of soil-water tension

Four soil-water tensions ranging from 10 kPa to 1.5 MPa were employed to study the effect of soil-water tension on methyl parathion degradation, metabolism and bound-residue formation in two soils. Uniformly ring-labeled [¹⁴C]methyl parathion was used. Mineralization was rapid in soils at 10 and 33 kPa. Results from the disappearance of ¹⁴C-activity indicated that methyl parathion could be also rapidly mineralized in soils at 100 kPa, while mineralization at 1.5 MPa was slower. Nonextractable ¹⁴C-activity (bound residues) was formed rapidly during 7–14 days in the soils maintained at 100 kPa and lower. The formation of nonextractable ¹⁴C-activity in the 1.5 MPa soils was slower but increased steadily during 28 days. Since no methyl aminoparathion was detected, it was suggested that the insecticide was hydrolyzed initially to p-nitrophenol and subsequently was reduced to p-aminophenol. The reduction was favored in moist soils (10 and 33 kPa) but was resisted in dry soil (1.5 MPa).     

Tracking litter-derived dissolved organic matter along a soil chronosequence using 14C imaging: Biodegradation,physico-chemical retention or preferential flow?

The cycling of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soils is controversial. While DOM is believed to be a C source for soil microorganisms, DOM sorption to the mineral phase is regarded as a key stabilization mechanism of soil organic matter (SOM). In this study, we added ¹⁴C-labelled DOM derived from Leucanthemopsis alpina to undisturbed soil columns of a chronosequence ranging from initial unweathered soils of a glacier forefield to alpine soils with thick organic layers. We traced the ¹⁴C label in mineralized and leached DOM and quantified the spatial distribution of DO¹⁴C retained in soils using a new autoradiographic technique. Leaching of DO¹⁴C through the 10 cm-long soil columns amounted up to 28% of the added DO¹⁴C in the initial soils, but to less than 5% in the developed soils. Biodegradation hardly contributed to the removal of litter-DO¹⁴C as only 2–9% were mineralized, with the highest rates in mature soils. In line with the mass balance of ¹⁴C fluxes, measured ¹⁴C activities in soils indicated that the major part of litter DO¹⁴C was retained in soils (>80% on average). Autoradiographic images showed an effective retention of almost all DO¹⁴C in the upper 3 cm of the soil columns. In the deeper soil, the ¹⁴C label was concentrated along soil pores and textural discontinuities with similarly high ¹⁴C activities than in the uppermost soil. These findings indicate DOM transport via preferential flow, although this was quantitatively less important than DOM retention in soils. The leaching of DO¹⁴C correlated negatively with oxalate-extractable Al, Fe, and Mn. In conjunction with the rapidity of DO¹⁴C immobilization, this strongly suggests that sorptive retention DOM was the dominating pathway of litter-derived DOM in topsoils, thereby contributing to SOM stabilization.     

Nitrogen biomarkers and their fate in soil

More than 90 % of the nitrogen (N) in soils can be organically bound, but the mechanisms and rates by which it is cycled have eluded researchers. The objective of this research was to contribute to a better understanding of the origin and transformation of soil organic N (SON) by using amino sugars and the enantiomers of amino acids as markers for microbial residues and/or aging processes. Studied samples presented here comprised (1) soil transects across different climates, (2) arable soils with different duration of cropping, and (3) radiocarbon‐dated soil profiles. The results suggested that increased microbial alteration of SON temporarily results in a sequestration of N in microbial residues, which are mineralized at later stages of SON decomposition. Microorganisms increasingly sequestered N within intact cell wall residues as frost periods shortened. At a mean annual temperature above 12–15 °C, these residues were mineralized, probably due to limitations in additional substrates. Breaking the grassland for cropping caused rapid SON losses. Microbial residues were decomposed in preference to total N, this effect being enhanced at higher temperatures. Hence, climate and cultivation interactively affected SON dynamics. Nevertheless, not all SON was available to soil microorganisms. In soil profiles, L‐aspartic acid and L‐lysine slowly converted into their D‐form, for lysine even at a similar rate in soils of different microbial activity. Formation of D‐aspartate with time was, therefore, induced by microorganisms while that of D‐lysine was not. The racemization of the two amino acids indicates that SON not available to microorganisms ages biotically and abiotically. In native soils, the latter is conserved for centuries, despite N deficiency frequently occurring in living terrestrial environments. Climate was not found to affect the fate of old protein constituents in surface soil. When native grassland was broken for cropping, however, old SON constituents had become available to microorganisms and were degraded.     

Influence of soil aging on sorption and bioavailability of simazine

Characterization of pesticide bioavailability, particularly in aged soils, is of continued interest because this information is necessary for environmental risk assessment. However, pesticide bioavailability in aged soils has been characterized by a variety of methods with limited success, due in part to methodological limitations. The objective of this study was to use solvent extraction methods to correlate simazine residue bioavailability in aged soils to simazine mineralization using a simazine-mineralizing bacterium. Soils from Brazil, Hawaii, and the midwestern United States were treated with UL-ring-labeled [14C]simazine and incubated for up to 8 weeks. At the end of each incubation period, soils were either incubated further, extracted with 0.01 M CaCl2, or extracted with aqueous methanol (80:20 v/v methanol/water). In a parallel experiment, after each incubation period, soils were inoculated with the bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP, which is capable of rapidly mineralizing simazine, and 14CO2 was determined. The inoculated soil samples were then extracted with 0.01 N CaCl2 and with aqueous methanol. This allowed for the evaluation of the bioavailability of aged simazine residues, without the contribution of simazine desorption from soil. Results of these studies indicated that simazine sorption to soil increased with aging and that amounts of simazine in aged soils extracted by 0.01 M CaCl2 and aqueous methanol were highly correlated to amounts of simazine mineralized by Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP. Consequently, 0.01 M CaCl2/methanol-extractable simazine in aged soils can be used to estimate bioavailable residues. This technique may be useful in determining the bioavailability of other s-triazine compounds in soils.     

Solvent extraction characterization of bioavailability of atrazine residues in soils

Characterization of pesticide bioavailability, particularly in aged soils, is of continued interest because this information is necessary for environmental risk assessment. The objective of this study was to correlate atrazine residue bioavailability in aged soils, as determined by solvent extraction methods, to atrazine mineralization by an atrazine-degrading bacterium. Webster clay loam and Zimmerman fine sand soils were treated with UL-ring-labeled [14C]atrazine and incubated for up to 8 weeks. At the end of each incubation period, soils were either not extracted, extracted with 0.01 M CaCl2, or extracted with 0.01 M CaCl2/aqueous methanol. Soils were then inoculated with the bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP, which is capable of rapidly mineralizing the atrazine ring. This allowed for the evaluation of the bioavailability of aged atrazine residues without the contribution of atrazine desorption from soil. Results of these studies indicated that the amounts of atrazine residues in aged soils extracted by 0.01 M CaCl2 and aqueous methanol were correlated to amounts of atrazine mineralized by Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP. Consequently, 0.01 M CaCl2/methanol extractable atrazine in aged soils may be used to estimate bioavailable residues, and this technique may be useful to determine the bioavailability of other compounds in soils, especially other triazine herbicides.     

Carbon and nitrogen mineralization in subarctic agricultural and forest soils

Summary C and N mineralization potentials were determined, in a 12-week laboratory incubation study, on soil samples obtained from recently cleared land which had been cropped to barley for 4 years (field soils) and from nearby undisturbed taiga (forest soils). Treatments for the cropped soils were conventional and no-tillage with and without crop residues removed. An average of about 3% of the total C was evolved as CO₂ from the field soils compared with > 10% and 4% for the upper (Oie) and lower (Oa) forest-floor horizons, respectively. Significantly more C was mineralized from the Ap of the no-till treatment with residue left on the surface than from the other field Ap horizons. Both forest-floor horizons showed rather long lag periods for net mineralization compared with the field soils, but at the end of the incubation, more mineral N was recovered from the forest Oie despite a rather wide C:N ratio, than from the field soils. After 12 weeks about 115, 200 and 20 g mineral N/g soil were recovered from the field Ap, the forest Oie and the forest Oa horizons, respectively. Very little C or N was mineralized from the B horizon of the forest or the field soils. Nitrification was rapid and virtually complete for the field soils but was negligible for both forest-floor O horizons.Paper no J-188 of the Journal Series of the Alaska Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station
