镉在中性和碱性土柱中不同深度处的运移模拟

Human health has been potentially threatened by cadmium (Cd) contained in sewage irrigation water.Previous studies of Cd transport in soils were mainly conducted using small soil cores with pH values less than 6.The objectives of this study were to determine the parameters of the convection-dispersion equation (CDE) for Cd transport in relatively larger columns with neutral and alkaline soils,and to investigate the parameters' variability with depth.The soil columns were 50 cm in length and 12.5 cm in diameter.Ceramic suction lysimeters were buried at depths of 2.5,7.5,17.5,27.5,and 37.5 cm to abstract soil solution.Cd concentration in the soil solution samples were subsequently analyzed to obtain breakthrough curves (BTCs).Equilibrium and nonequilibrium models in CXTFIT program were used to estimate parameters of the CDE.The results suggested that both equilibrium and non-equilibrium models performed well in modeling Cd transport.The hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient (D) ranged from 0.18 to 10.70 cm 2 h 1,showing large differences among different depths.The retardation factor (R d) ranged from 25.4 to 54.7 and the standard deviation of R d value was lower than 30% of the mean value.Precipitation coefficient (R p) decreased consistently with increasing depth,varying from 1.000 × 10 10 to 0.661 h 1.Sensitivity tests showed that D was less sensitive than R d.These results would be helpful in understanding the transport and retention of Cd in non-acidic soils.     

腐殖酸对磷在石灰性土壤中迁移的影响

When humic acid (HA) and phosphorus (P) fertilizer are simultaneously applied to soil, HA may affect the movement of P. A laboratory incubation experiment was conducted to quantify the effects of a commercial HA product co-applied with monocalcium phosphate (MCP) on the distance of P movement and the concentration of P in various forms at different distances from the P fertilizer application site in a calcareous soil from northern China. Fertilizer MCP (at a rate equivalent to 26.6 kg P ha-1 ) was applied alone or in combination with HA (at 254.8 kg HA ha-1 ) to the surface of soil packed in cylinders (150 mm high and 50 mm internal diameter), and then incubated at 320 g kg-1 moisture content for 7 and 28 d periods. Extraction and analysis of each 2 mm soil layer in columns showed that the addition of HA to MCP increased the distance of P movement and the concentrations of water-extractable P, acid-extractable P and Olsen P in soil. The addition of HA to MCP could enhance P availability by increasing the distance of P movement and the concentration of extractable P in soil surrounding the P fertilizer.     

土壤水流通量对饱水带溶质运移参数的影响

The transport processes of solutes in two soil columns filled with undistrubed soil material collected from an unsaturated sandy aquifer formation in Belgium subjected to a variable upper boundary condition were identified from breakthrough curves measured by means of time domain reflectometry(TDR),Solute breakthrough was measured with 3 TDR probes inserted into each soil column at three different depths at a 10 minutes time interval.In addition,soil water content and pressure head were measured at 3 different depths.Analyteical solute transport models were used to estimate the solute disperison coefficient and average pore-water velocity from the observed breakthrough curves,the results showed that the analytical solutions were suitable in fitting the observed solute transport,The dispersion coefficient was found to be a function of the soil depth and average proe-water velocity,imposed by the soil water flux.the mobile moistrue content on the other hand was not correlated with the average pore-water velocity and the dispersion coefficient.     

温室栽培条件下N2O排放量和浓度分布对肥料和施肥的短期响应

In vegetable cultivation, the majority of N2O emissions occur after fertilization; it is therefore important to understand any factors contributing to this process. An experiment was conducted to investigate short-term N2O dynamics following topdressing in a greenhouse vegetable field in South China. During two topdressing processes, three different urea-N treatments with irrigation were conducted in May and June in a tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) cultivation. The N2O fluxes, soil concentration profiles and soil environments at the 0-60 cm depths at 10 cm intervals were measured both immediately prior to and 5 days after topdressing. The N2O fluxes before topdressing ranged from 6.7±2.1 to 55.0±28.8 μ g N m 2 h 1 ; even higher numbers were recorded in highly fertilized plots. The NO3-N accumulation in the soil caused by vegetable cultivation during the 5 years prior to the start of the experiment, resulted in high background N2O fluxes. One day after topdressing (1 DAT) in May and June, N2O fluxes increased, which coincided with sharp increases in soil N2O concentrations at depths of 2.5 and 15 cm and in NO3-N and NH+4 -N contents at depths of 0-20 cm. From 1 to 5 DAT, fluctuations in the N2O fluxes did not harmonize with the N2O concentrations at a depth of 2.5 cm, which was attributed to different gas diffusion rates at depths of 0-10 cm. These results suggested that surface soil N and environmental conditions were crucial for determining the short-term N2O ebullitions during topdressing in greenhouse vegetable cultivation.     

土壤结构组成对K+运移障碍因子的定量研究

With six packed columns composed of <1 μm and 5 μm~0.25 mm fractions from an Eum-Orthic Anthrosol (Columns 1~6) and one column of the Eum-Orthic Anthrosol (Column 7), K⁺ transport experiments under the condition of saturated steady water flow were conducted to qualify the effects of soil texture composition on the retardation factor (R) of K⁺ transport. The results showed that the retardation factor of K⁺ transport in the tested soil columns greatly increased with increasing clay contents. In an attempt to use pedo-transfer function (PTF) approach in the solute transport study, a preliminary PTF was established through the six packed columns (Columns 1~6) with soil basic data including soil bulk density, volumetric water content and clay content to predict the retardation factor, and proved valid by the satisfactory prediction of R in Column 7.     

An analytical solution for advance of solute front in soils

Based on the assumption that solute transport in a semi-infinite soil column or in a field soil profile can be described by the boundary-layer method, an analytical solution is presented for the advance of a solute front with time. The traditional convection-dispersion equation (CDE) subjected to two boundary conditions: 1) at the soil surface (or inlet boundary) and 2) at the solute front, was solved using a Laplace transformation. A comparison of resident concentrations using a boundary-layer method and an exact solution (in a semi-infinite-domain) showed that both were in good agreement within the range between the two boundaries. This led to a new method for estimating solute transport parameters in soils, requiring only observation of advance of the solute front with time. This may be corroborated visually using a tracer solution with marking-dye or measured utilizing time domain reflectometry (TDR). This method is applicable to both laboratory soil columns and field soils. Thus, it could be a step forward for modeling solute transport in field soils and for better understanding of the transport processes in soils.     

Effect of Continuous Vegetable Cultivation on PhosphorusLevels of Fluvo-Aquic Soils

oil P status, inorganic P fractions, and P sorption properties were studied using sandy fluvo-aquic horticultural soils,which are high in organic matter content for vegetable production in comparison with a soil used for grain crop productionin Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China. P fractions, Olsen-P, and OM were determined at different depths in the soilprofile and sorption isotherm experiments were performed. Most P in excess of plant requirements accumulated in thetopsoil and decreased with soil depth. Total P, inorganic P, and OM concentrations increased with continued horticulturaluse.Olsen-P concentrations in the 0-20 cm depth of horticultural soils were 9 to 25 times higher than those of the graincrop soil. A linear transformation of the Langmuir equation showed that the P adsorption maximum (491.3 mg P kg^-1)and the maximum phosphate buffering capacity (162.1 L kg^-1) for 80-100 cm were greater in the grain crop soil than thehorticultural soils. Thus, the most immediate concern with excess P were in areas where heavy P fertilizer was used forvegetable crops and where soil P sorption capacities were low due to sandy soils and high organic matter content.     

复配改良剂表施对高降雨量地区茶园底层强酸性土壤酸度的调控（英文）

Strongly acidic soils(pH 5.0) are detrimental to tea(Camellia sinensis) production and quality.Little information exists on the ability of surface amendments to ameliorate subsoil acidity in the tea garden soils.A 120-d glasshouse column leaching experiment was conducted using commonly available soil ameliorants.Alkaline slag(AS) and organic residues,pig manure(PM) and rapeseed cake(RC) differing in ash alkalinity and C/N ratio were incorporated alone and in combination into the surface(0—15 cm) of soil columns(10 cm internal diameter × 50 cm long) packed with soil from the acidic soil layer(15-30 cm) of an Ultisol(initial pH =4.4).During the 120-d experiment,the soil columns were watered(about 127 mm over 9 applications) according to the long-term mean annual rainfall(1143 mm) and the leachates were collected and analyzed.At the end of the experiment,soil columns were partitioned into various depths and the chemical properties of soil were measured.The PM with a higher C/N ratio increased subsoil pH,whereas the RC with a lower C/N ratio decreased subsoil pH.However,combined amendments had a greater ability to reduce subsoil acidity than either of the amendments alone.The increases in pH of the subsoil were mainly ascribed to decreased base cation concentrations and the decomposition of organic anions present in dissolved organic carbon(DOC) and immobilization of nitrate that had been leached down from the amended layer.A significant(P 0.05) correlation between alkalinity production(reduced exchangeable acidity — N-cycle alkalinity) and alkalinity balance(net alkalinity production — N-cycle alkalinity) was observed at the end of the experiment.Additionally,combined amendments significantly increased(P 0.05) subsoil cation concentrations and decreased subsoil Al saturation(P 0.05).Combined applications of AS with organic amendments to surface soils are effective in reducing subsoil acidity in high-rainfall areas.Further investigations under field conditions and over longer timeframes are needed to fully understand their practical effectiveness in ameliorating acidity of deeper soil layers under naturally occurring leaching regimes.     

种植作物条件下非饱和土壤中水盐的动态实验和数值模拟研究

A laboratory salt-water dynamics experiment using unsaturated soils in packed silt loam and clay soil columns with different soil texture profiles and groundwater levels under crops were conducted to study the changes of salt-water dynamics induced by water uptake of crops and to propose the theoretical basis for the regulation and control of salt-water dynamics as well as to predict salinity levels. The HYDRUS 1D model was applied to simulate the one-dimensional movement of water and salt transport in the soil columns. The results showed that the salts mainly accumulated in the plow layer in the soil columns under crops. Soil water and salt both moved towards the plow layer due to soil water absorption by the crop root system. The salt contents in the column with lower groundwater were mostly greater than those with high groundwater. The water contents in the soil columns increased from top to the bottom due to plant root water uptake. The changes in groundwater level had little influence on water content of the root zone in the soil columns with crop planting. Comparison between the simulated and the determined values showed that model simulation results were ideal, so it is practicable to do numerical simulation of soil salt and water transport by the HYDRUS 1D model. Furthermore, if the actual movement of salt and water in fields is to be described in detail, much work needs to be done. The most important thing is to refine the parameters and select precise boundary conditions.     

连续种植蔬菜对潮土磷素水平的影响

Soil P status, inorganic P fractions, and P sorption properties were studied using sandy fluvo-aquic horticultural soils, which are high in organic matter content for vegetable production in comparison with a soil used for grain crop production in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China. P fractions, Olsen-P, and OM were determined at different depths in the soil profile and sorption isotherm experiments were performed. Most P in excess of plant requirements accumulated in the topsoil and decreased with soil depth. Total P, inorganic P, and OM concentrations increased with continued horticultural use. Olsen-P concentrations in the 0-20 cm depth of horticultural soils were 9 to 25 times higher than those of the grain crop soil. A linear transformation of the Langmuir equation showed that the P adsorption maximum (491.3 mg P kg^-1) and the maximum phosphate buffering capacity (162.1 L kg^-1) for 80-100 cm were greater in the grain crop soil than the horticultural soils. Thus, the most immediate concern with excess P were in areas where heavy P fertilizer was used for vegetable crops and where soil P sorption capacities were low due to sandy soils and high organic matter content.     

Evaluation of Biochar Effects on Nitrogen Retention and Leaching in Multi-Layered Soil Columns

Biochar can play a key role in nutrient cycling, potentially affecting nitrogen retention when applied to soils. In this project, laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the adsorption properties of bamboo charcoal (BC) and the influence of BC on nitrogen retention at different soil depths using multi-layered soil columns. Results showed that BC could adsorb ammonium ion predominantly by cation exchange. Ammonium nitrogen (NH₄ ⁺-N) concentrations in the leachate of the soil columns showed significant differences at different depths after ammonium chloride application to the columns depending on whether BC had been added. Addition of 0.5% BC to the surface soil layer retarded the downward transport of NH₄ ⁺-N in the 70-day experiment, as indicated by measurements made during the first 7 days at 10 cm, and later, in the experimental period at 20 cm. In addition, application of BC reduced overall cumulative losses of NH₄ ⁺-N via leaching at 20 cm by 15.2%. Data appeared to suggest that BC could be used as a potential nutrient-retaining additive in order to increase the utilization efficiency of chemical fertilizers. Nonetheless, the effect of BC addition on controlling soil nitrogen losses through leaching needs to be further assessed before large-scale applications to agricultural fields are implemented.     

Rare Earth Elements in Soils

Abstract

Rare earth elements (REEs) comprise a group of 17 elements with very similar chemical and physical properties, which include scandium (Sc, Z=21), yttrium (Y, Z=39), and the lanthanides with successive atomic numbers (Z from 57 to 71). Lanthanides are the elements lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), and lutetium (Lu). REEs are required in modern industry, and their use in agriculture yielded positive effects in terms of crop yield and body weight of poultry. However, the question of whether the use of REEs in agriculture yields an enrichment of these elements in the environment remains open. It was the aim of this review to summarize the data about REEs in soils with view to their content, fractions, availability, chemical behavior, and translocation in soils and to elucidate further research needs.     

磷在稻田土壤中的淋溶和迁移模拟研究

稻田土壤磷(P)的淋溶和迁移受到人们的普遍关注。对水稻土施P后立即进行高强度淋洗的研究表明,施P对各处理淋出液的P浓度没有明显影响,各种形态的P淋溶到60cm土层以下的浓度不超过0.1mg/kg,折合每公顷损失P量分别为可溶活性P约1.2~1.4kg,非活性P为1.2~1.6kg,全P为2.5~2.8kg,对地下水影响小。施P量低于400kg/hm2时,施入的P没有移出上层土壤;当施P量高于800kg/hm2时,P从上层向下移动现象明显;施P量超过1600kg/hm2后,移动距离可达10cm。并预测出上层土壤可能发生P的移动和淋溶的土壤Olsen-P阈值为74.1mg/kg,超过该值发生P移动和淋溶的可能性增加。

Tracking the Transport of Silver Nanoparticles in Soil: a Saturated Column Experiment

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can enter the environment when released from products containing them. As AgNPs enter soil, they are often retained in the soil profile and/or leached to the groundwater. This research assessed the transport of AgNPs in their “particle form” through the soil profile using a series of columns. Three soil types were put into soil columns: LSH (loam with high organic matter (OM)), LSL (loam with low OM), and Sand (no OM). The results showed that AgNP transport and retention in soil as well as particle size changes are affected by soil organic matter (OM) and the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of soil. OM affected the transport and retention of AgNPs. This was evident in the LSH columns where the OM concentration was the highest and the AgNP content the lowest in the soil layers and in the effluent water. The highest transported AgNP content was detected in the Sand columns where OM was the lowest. CEC had an impact on the particle size of the AgNPs that were retained in the soil layers. This was clear in columns packed with high CEC-containing soils (LSL and LSH) where AgNP particle size decreased more substantially than in the columns packed with sand. However, the decrease in AgNP sizes in the effluent water was less than the decrease in particle size of AgNPs transported through but retained in the soil. This means that the AgNPs that reached the effluent were transported directly from the first layer through the soil macropores. This work highlights the ability to track AgNPs at low concentrations (50 μg kg^?1) and monitor the changes in particle size potential as the particles leach through soil all of which increases our knowledge about AgNP transport mechanisms in porous media.     

Rare earth elements and other trace elements in wastewater treatment sludges

In order to evaluate the possibility of contamination of soil with trace elements by the application of sludges to soil, the contents of rare earth elements (REEs; La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) and other trace elements (Be, As, Ag, Cd, Sb, Cs, Bi, and U) in wastewater treatment sludges were determined. In sludges of night soil treatment plants (night soil sludges) and sludges of wastewater treatment plants in the food industry (food industry sludges), the distribution patterns of REEs normalized versus average REEs in the continental crust were almost flat. It was considered that the REE patterns of uncontaminated sludges reflected the pattern of the continental crust. The crust-normalized REE patterns of sludges of wastewater treatment plants in the chemical industry (chemical industry sludges) and municipal sewage sludges did not always show flat plots. The sludges that did not show a flat REE pattern were considered to be contaminated with some of the REEs.

The coefficient of variation of each element determined among the 10 samples of night soil sludges and the 14 samples of sewage sludges ranged from 34 to 77% and from 26 to 84%, respectively. Among the 10 samples of food industry sludges and the 10 samples of chemical industry sludges, the coefficient ranged from 60 to 143% and from 67 to 172%, respectively. The variations of the content of each element among the food industry sludges or the chemical industry sludges were larger than those among the night soil sludges or the sewage sludges.

The contents of Be, As, Cs, REEs, and U in all the sludges were lower than or the same as those in a field soil. Some of the food and chemical industry sludges contained larger amounts of Ag, Cd, and Sb than the soil. All the night soil sludges and sewage sludges contained much larger amounts of Ag and Bi than the soil.     

Concentrations of rare-earth elements in soils of the Prioksko-Terrasnyi state biospheric reserve

The concentrations of rare-earth elements were studied in the profiles of soddy podburs and mucky-humus gley soils. The soil horizons differed significantly in the contents of C_org (0?C26%), the physical clay (<0.01 mm) fraction (3?C31%), the acidity (pH 4 to 5.5), and the presence/absence of Al-Fe-humus accumulations. The most significant relationship was observed between the concentrations of rare-earth elements and the physical clay content, particularly for Nd: x(Nd, mg/kg) = 7 + 1.6y (fraction <0.01 mm, %). Weak biogenic accumulations in the upper horizons were observed for Nd, Ce, and Dy; Nd, Pr, and La accumulated in the Al-Fe-humus illuvial horizon. The concentrations of rare-earth elements in the studied soils formed the following sequence (mg/kg): Nd (20?C101)-Ce (10?C44)-La, Sm, Gd, Dy, Yb (3?C20)-Pr (1?C4)-Ho (0.1?C0.4)-Tm, Lu, and Tl (0.0). A clear trend was observed to higher contents of even-numbered elements as compared with odd-numbered elements, excluding La.     

在非灭菌与灭菌条件下对土壤CO2短期排放特性的研究

通过室内模拟降雨一维垂直土柱入渗实验,在非灭菌与灭菌条件下,连续地监测土壤不同深度处CO2浓度以及土壤含水率。采用闭合循环回路测量系统,结合膜管（METT）技术来对降雨条件下土壤不同深度处CO2浓度进行监测,研究CO2的短时排放特性。结果表明,在时间上土壤不同深度处含水率与CO2浓度变化并未呈现出一致的趋势。对干土加水时,土壤CO2浓度的迅速增加除了受到微生物矿化作用之外,气体对流、扩散等物理过程也影响较大。对于灭菌土壤,CO2在土壤中的运移只是一个较短的动力学过程,故其变化较快;而对于非灭菌土壤,由于微生物对土壤中有机质的矿化作用,所以CO2浓度较高但变化相对较缓。     

Effect of rare earth elements on growth and nutrition of coconut palm and root competition for these elements between the palm and calotropis gigantea

Absorption of rare earth elements (REEs) namely lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), and neodymium (Nd) by coconut, competition between coconut and Calotropis gigantea L. for these elements in mixed culture and the effects of the REEs on growth and nutrition of the palm were studied in a pot culture. At a low rate of application, REEs promoted root growth in coconut, but at a higher level, absorption of phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) by the palm was reduced significantly. Absorption of REEs by the palm tended to increase with increasing application rates, but the increases were not statistically significant. Although Calostropis gigantea accumulated more REEs per unit dry matter than coconut, it failed to compete effectively for REEs in mixed culture with coconut. However, in mixed culture, coconut depressed the absorption of REEs by Calostropis gigantea.
