安徽省南部第四纪红色粘土的成因

The particle-size distribution,heavy mineral constituents and rare earth elements(REE) characteristics of the Quaternary red clay of southern Anhui Province were studied to explore the origin of the clay.The results showed that the clay had some properties of areolian deposits,which could be compared with,those of the loess in North China ;and its chondrite-normalized curves of REE were similar to those of the Xiashu loess implying tha they shared the same orighin.It was concluded in combination with the results rported by other researchers that the Quaternary red clay of southern Anhui Province originated from aolian deposts, and this could reveal the cycles of warm and cold climates in the area during the Quaternary period.     

洞庭湖地区红土微量与稀土元素地球化学特征及其环境意义

Trace element (TE) and rare earth element (REE) contents in red soils from the Dongting Lake area of China were determined to understanding the provenance and weathering characteristics of the red soils. The results showed similar REE distribution patterns among red soils from the Dongting Lake area, Xiashu loess from Zhenjiang, loess and the Pliocene red soil from the Loess Plateau. These patterns implied a similar provenance from dust-storms, except for red soil R5 which formed by bedrock weathering and had significant light REE (LREE) enrichment and heavy REE (HREE) depletion due to longer weathering periods and higher intensity of weathering. Trace element, especially the Rb/Sr and Li/Ba ratios, and REE, especially the LREE/HREE ratio and δEu could trace weathering intensity. Higher Rb/Sr, Li/Ba, and LREE/ HREE ratios and negative Eu anomalies were present in the red soil from the Dongting Lake area. The weathering intensity was in the decreasing order of R5 in the Dongting Lake area > red soil from the Dongting Lake area (including reticulate red soil, weak reticulate red soil, and homogeneous red soil formed by dust storms) > Xiashu loess from Zhenjiang > Loess-paleosol and Pliocene red soil from the Loess Plateau. Variations in the TE and REE contents of soil could be effectively used to study the provenance and the weathering intensity.     

土壤溶质迁移的柱滞留方程

The relationship between magnetic properties and particle size of soils derived from metamorphic rock,basalt,granite,Quaternary red clay,limestone and mudstone from Zhejiang Province,East China was studied,Based on the variations of the mass magnetic susceptibility (χ),anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM),and saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM) with soil particle size,the relationship could be classfied into three groups.For the soils derived from metamorphic rock and basalt,magnetic values were the highest in the gravel and coarse sand fractions and decreased with decreasing soil particle size.The soils derived from sedimentary rock had a bimodal distribution of magnetic values.with peaks in 1-0.5 and 0.005-0.0005mm fractions.The soil developed on granite was characterized by a peak of magnetic value in 0.001-0.0005mm fractions.The soil developed on granite was characterized by a peak of magnetic value in 0.001-0.0005 mm fractions.Frequency-dependent susceptibility(χfd)and ratios of magnetic parameters (ARM/χ,SIRM/χand SIRM/ARM) of soil particle fractions showed that variations in ferrimagnetic grain size paralleled those in particle size,χfd peaked in caly fraction and decreased with increasing particle size,irrespective of soil parent materials.The acquisition curves of IRM and demagnetization paramenter of different soil particles indicated that there were different magnetic minerals assemblages in different particle fractions.     

Mineral Composition and Weathering of Soils Derived from Xiashu Loess

Mineralogical, physical and chemical analyses of the soils derived from Xiashu loess were carried out. The primary minerals of these soils were found to be mainly composed of light minerals, such as quartz, feldspar and mica, with traces of heavy minerals. Clay minerals, more complicate in composition, were dominated by hydromica, accompanied by smectite, vermiculite, chlorite, kaolinite, 2:1/1:1 randomly interstratified minerals and small amounts of quartz, goethite, lepidocrocite and hematite, Clay minerals were characterized by low crystallinity and fine particle size. In light of the quartz/feldspars ratio of the 0.01-0.05mm silt fraction, and the clay mineral composition, the freeness of iron oxide, and the silica/sesquioxide and silica/alumina ratios in < 0.002mm clay fraction, it is concluded that the weathering intensity of these soils was lower than those of red soil and yellow earth, but higher than that of brown earth, and that the soil allitization, depotassication and hydroxylation of cl     

南京附近下蜀土中黄土层与古土壤层的差异性探讨

Xiashu loess strata are widely distributed along the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River in East China with the stratum near Nanjing, Jiangsu Province being typical. The cyclic variability of the stratum was investigated through comparison of geological features, chemical composition, and swelling-shrinkage properties between the loess and the paleosol layers. Based on the investigation of such a cyclic variability, soil behavior associated with the unsaturated state of the Xiashu loess stratum and its usefulness for geotechnical design and construction in the Nanjing area was analyzed. The stratum consisted of two types of cyclically alternating soil layers, namely the loess and the paleosol layers, which was the major cause for its cyclic variability. The loess and the paleosol layers were formed in different sedimentary environments. In order to avoid detrimental results from the differential engineering properties between them, this study suggested for the practitioners the importance of inspecting the variation of water content and controlling the downward net fluxes during geotechnical construction in the Nanjing area.     

Aggregate Stability and Its Relationship with Some ChemicalProperties of Red Soils in Subtropical China

The stability of aggregates in the surface soil is crucial to soil erosion and runoff generation. Thus, to understand the stability and the breakdown mechanisms of soil aggregates as well as the relationship between aggregate stability and selected soil chemical properties, such as different forms of Fe and A1 oxides, organic matter, CEC and clay content, the aggregates of slightly and severely eroded red soils derived from Quaternary red clay in subtropical China were analyzed using the routine wet sieving and the Le Bissonnais methods. The results indicated that the aggregates of the severely eroded soils were more stable than those of the slightly eroded soils. Different aggregate breakdown mechanisms resulted in different particle size distribution. The slaking from entrapped air in aggregates severely destroyed the soil aggregates,especially in the slightly eroded soils. Meanwhile, mechanical breakdown and microcracking had little effect on the aggregates compared to slaking. The fragments resulting from slaking were mainly microaggregates that increased in size with increasing clay content. The main fragment size of the slightly eroded soils was 1.0-0.2 mm, while for the severely eroded soils it was 5.0-2.0 mm and 1.0-0.5 mm. Overall, more than 20% of the fragments were smaller than 0.2 mm.In addition, aggregate stability was positively and often significantly correlated with Fed, Ald, Feo and clay content, but significantly and negatively correlated to SOC.     

南京周边地区古砂砾层土壤和岩石形成的数学分析

Research samples were taken from an ancient gravel stratum which is not only a representative soil layer along the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River in East China ,but also one of the primary Neozoic strata in Nanjing district.Located mostly on the second and third terraces,the ancient gravel strata formed the geomorphic landscapes of terrace and step.They were complex in constitution,varied widely in stability,of multiple sources,locally derived ,and associated with braided streams in the deposition environment ,A CIPW(Cross,Iddings,Pirsson and Washington) method modified by the author was used to analyze the soil-rock-forming materials of finer grains(less than 2 mm in size) of the ancient gravel stratum.Results of the analysis showed that the sandy grains were composed of apatite,ilmenite,potassium feldspar,plagioclase,enstatite and free quartz,the clay mainly of kaolinite,and the cement of a combination of silicon,aluminum and iron at a ratiof of 46:44:10.In the soil-rock-forming processes, including compactional solidifiation,water-stable illuviation-cementation,homogneous overgrowth and so on,the loose soil-rock-forming components gradually changed into consolidated soil and further to the early stage of lithification.Meanvwhile,from ,the analysis,we found that the ancient gravel stratum had been protected by overlying Xiashu loess or basalt and the overloading resulted in overconsolidated strata ,The modified CIPW method was applicale and effective for semi-quantitative analysis.     

金沙江干热峡谷中退化的土壤生态系统生物学特征初探

Distribution characteristics of soil animals,microorganisms and enzymatic activity were studied in the dry red soil and Vertisol ecosystems with different degradation degrees in the Yuanmou dry hot valley of the Jinsha River,China.Results showed that Hymenoptera,Araneae and Collembola were the dominant groups of soil animals in the polts studied.The numbers of groups and individuals and density of soil animals in the dry red soil series were higher than those in the Vertisol series,and the numbers of individuals and density of soil animals decreased with the degree of soil degradation.Bacteria dominated microbiococnosis not only in the dry red soils but also in the Vertisols.Microbial numbers of the dry red soil series were higher than those of Vertisol series,and decreased with the degree of soil degradation.The activities of catalase,invertase,urease and alkaline phosphatase declined with the degradation degree and showed a significant decline with depth in the profiles of both the dry red soils and the Vertisols,but activities of polyphenol oxidase and acid and neutral phosphatase showed the same tendencies only in the Vertisols.It was concluded that the characteristics of soil animals,microorganisms and enzymatic activity could be used as the bio-indicators to show the degradation degree of the dry red soils and Vertisols.Correlation among these soil bio-indicators was highly significant.     

Composition and Characteristics of Organo—Mineral Complexes of Red Soils in South China

The objective of the present study is to reveal the composition and characteristics of organo-mineral complexes in red soils (red soil,lateritic red soil and latosol) of south China in terms of chemical dissolution and fractional peptization methos.In the combined humus,most of the extractable humus could dissolve in 0.1 M NaOH extractant and belonged to active humus (H1),and there was only a small amount of humus which could be further dissolved in 0.1 M Na4P2O7 extractant at pH 13 and was stably combined humus (H2).The H1/H2 ratio ranged from 3.3 to 33.8 in red soils,and the proportions of both H1 and total extractable organic carbon (H1 H2) in total soil organic carbon and the ratios of H1 to H2 and H1 to (H1 H2) were all higher in lateritic red soil and latosol than in red soil.The differences of combined humus composition in various red soils were directly related to the content of Fe and Al oxides.In organo-mineral complexes,the ratio of Na-dispersed fraction (G1) to Na-ground-dispersed fraction (G2) was generally smaller than 1 for red soils,but there was a higher G1/G2 ratio in red soil than in lateritic red soil and latosol.G1 fraction had a higher content of fulvic acid (FA),but G2 fraction had a higher content of humic acid (HA).The ratios of H1 to H2 and HA to FA were higher in G2 than in G1.The differences in the composition and activity of humus between G1 and G2 fractions were related to the content of free Fe and Al oxides.The quantities of complex Fe and Al,the Fe/C and Al/C atomic ratios were higher in G2 than in G1,and the ratio of Al/C was much higher than that of Fe/C.It may be deduced that aluminum plays a more important role than iron in the formation process of organo-mineral complexes in red soils.     

生物炭碳固定于稳定性土壤团聚体中：土壤黏土矿物及其它土壤性质的作用

Aggregation and structure play key roles in water-holding capacity and stability of soils.In this study,the incorporation of carbon(C) from switchgrass biochar into stable aggregate size fractions was assessed in an Aridisol(from Colorado,USA) dominated by 2:1 clays and an Alfisol(from Virginia,USA) containing weathered mixed 1:1 and 2:1 mineralogy,to evaluate the effect of biochar addition on soil characteristics.The biochar was applied at 4 levels,0,25,50,and 100 g kg~(-1),to the soils grown with wheat in a growth chamber experiment.The changes in soil strength and water-holding capacity using water release curves were measured.In the Colorado soil,the proportion of soil occurring in large aggregates decreased,with concomitant increases in small size fractions.No changes in aggregate size fractions occurred in the Virginia soil.In the Colorado soil,C content increased from 3.3 to 16.8 g kg~(-1),whereas in the53 μm fraction C content increased from 5.7 to 22.6 g kg~(-1) with 100 g kg~(-1)biochar addition.In the Virginia soil,C content within aggregate size fractions increased for each size fraction,except the2 000 μm fraction.The greatest increase(from 6.2 to 22.0 g kg~(-1)) occurred in the 53–250 μm fraction.The results indicated that C was incorporated into larger aggregates in the Virginia soil,but remained largely unassociated to soil particles in the Colorado soil.Biochar addition had no significant effect on water-holding capacity or strength measurements.Adding biochar to more weathered soils with high native soil organic content may result in greater stabilization of incorporated C and result in less loss because of erosion and transport,compared with the soils dominated by 2:1 clays and low native soil organic content.     

黄土不同粒级稀土元素分布特征及其制约因素

对宁镇地区下蜀黄土和北方黄土高原黄土进行系统的分粒级稀土元素(REE)地球化学特征对比研究,结果表明:(1)无论是北方黄土还是下蜀黄土,REE分布均存在明显的粒级效应:北方黄土的REE主要在细粒端(4μm)富集,粗粒端(64μm)富集不明显;下蜀黄土在细粒端(4μm)和粗粒端(64μm)均呈明显的REE富集特征,且粗粒端的富集更加显著;(2)北方黄土和下蜀黄土在细粒端(4μm)的REE富集主要由风化成壤作用所控制,细粒组分中富集重稀土(HREE)的特征可能与Fe-Mn氧化物对HREE的专性吸附作用有关;(3)下蜀黄土在粗粒端(64μm)则主要以富集轻稀土(LREE)为主,这可能与下蜀黄土母质来源中多近源的区域性特征矿物(榍石等副矿物)有关,揭示下蜀黄土中的粗颗粒物质可能主要来源于近距离搬运。64μm可能是凸显下蜀黄土和北方黄土REE差异的敏感粒级,该粒级中LREE富集与否是区别两者的有效标志,这为REE应用于黄土的物源示踪研究提供了新途径。     

昆山绰墩古土壤粒度特征及母质判别

自第四纪晚期以来,来自黄土高原的粉尘在风力作用下不断向东南扩张,在长江中下游地区形成了下蜀黄土。太湖流域的部分水稻土就是在下蜀黄土之上发育的。本文对绰墩古土壤的粒度组成特征进行了系统的研究。结果表明,绰墩古土壤<5μm粘粒、5~10μm细粉砂和10~50μm粗粉砂组分平均含量分别为22.89%、22.96%和63.52%,其中10~50μm粗粉砂组分为众数粒组。>50μm砂粒平均含量仅为5.10%。绰墩古土壤粒度组成与镇江下蜀黄土粒度组成具高度相关性(r=0.97)。根据粒度分析,我们初步认定绰墩古土壤母质为下蜀黄土。

Influence of fertilization and organic amendments on organic‐carbon fractions in Heilu soil on the loess plateau of China

The influence of fertilization on organic‐carbon fractions separated by density and particle size in Heilu soil (Calcic Kastanozems, FAO) was investigated in a 20‐year (1979–1999) long‐term experiment on the Loess Plateau of China. Compared to an unfertilized treatment, N application alone did not increase total organic carbon (TOC) and its fractions of density and particle size. However, the treatment of N + P fertilization significantly increased salty‐solution–soluble organic carbon (SSOC), microbial biomass C (MB‐C), and organic C associated with fine silt. When manure was applied alone and in combination with N and P fertilizer, the light fraction of organic C (LFOC), SSOC, and MB‐C were increased significantly, and the TOC was as high as that of a native Heilu soil. Organic C associated with different particle‐size fractions was also increased significantly, and the allocation of C among the fractions was altered: the proportions of C in sand (>50 μm), coarse‐silt (20–50 μm), and fine‐clay (<0.2 μm) fractions were increased whereas fine‐silt (2–20 μm) and coarse‐clay (0.2–2 μm) fractions were decreased. It is concluded that N fertilizer alone is not capable of restoring organic‐matter content in the Heilu soils of the Loess Plateau and that C‐containing material like manure and straw is necessary to produce significant increase in soil organic carbon in these soils.     

缓丘坡耕地模拟降雨及土壤通透性研究

利用模拟降雨试验,对发育于红砂岩、千枚岩、第四纪红色粘土母质的赣北丘陵旱作红壤和下蜀黄土母质的宁镇丘陵区旱作黄棕壤,进行了水土流失量、土壤水分特征曲线、室内外土壤通透性等测定,并建立了相应的关系方程。结果表明,耕种黄棕壤较耕种红壤,水土流失更为严重,而且亚表层土壤性质对水土流失有重要影响。在类似的模拟降雨条件下,耕种黄棕壤产生的地表径流1525 l,径流含沙量23.4g/l土壤流失量291.7 t/km²,耕种红壤相应值为621.41,1.6g/l和10.8t/km²。亚表层容重、总孔隙度、有效水含量和透水速度,前者分别为1.4,44%,20%,1.4mm/h,后者分别为1.2,52%,21.7%,25mm/h。根据结果还提出了有关耕地夏季灌溉的建议。     

安徽郎溪黄棕色土—红土二元结构土壤剖面的成因与长江流域第四纪晚期古气候演变

安徽宣郎广一带,黄棕色土-红土二元结构地貌十分常见。本文在郎溪选择了一个典型的黄棕色土-红土剖面,进行粒度组成和元素地球化学性状的研究,结果表明:(1)研究剖面上部黄棕色土的粒度组成和元素地球化学特征,与宣城、九江黄棕色土和镇江下蜀黄土十分一致,说明研究区域的黄棕色土确实与长江流域广泛分布的下蜀黄土同源。郎溪剖面粒度和元素地球化学特征的变化较均匀,尤其黄棕色土→埋藏红土(包括均质红土和网纹红土)间呈连续过渡,无沉积间断,表明埋藏红土的物源与黄棕色土和下蜀黄土相似,具典型的风积成因特性。(2)与黄棕色土相比,埋藏红土粒径偏细,风化成土作用显著增强。从埋藏红土逐渐过渡到黄棕色土,反映的可能是长江流域晚更新世初期,末次间冰期结束、末次冰期开始时的一次重大的古气候演变事件,但仍需确凿的年代学证据。     

长江中游地区第四纪红土的二元结构及古环境意义

在长江中游地区的湖南和湖北两省,选择宜昌、咸宁、常德、长沙、株洲5个第四纪红土剖面,分析第四纪红土的粒度组成特征,研究红土的成因及南方古环境的演变。结果表明,这些地区第四纪红土的粒度组成呈明显的二元结构:剖面上部(宜昌剖面0～320 cm,咸宁剖面0～220 cm,常德剖面0～270 cm,长沙剖面0～280 cm,株洲剖面0～150 cm)粒度细小而均匀,砂粒含量低,大部分小于1%;粗粉砂(又称风尘"基本粒组")相对富集,平均含量分别为34.38%、32.29%、32.48%、31.69%和31.86%。而且土壤样品粒度频率分布曲线与安徽宣城第四纪红土很相似,与镇江下蜀黄土也有明显继承性。这些特性均反映了剖面上层红土的风成特性。但研究剖面下部红土,粒度组成有明显不同:含有砾石,砂粒含量较高,不同粒度组分垂向变化明显,粒度频率分布曲线与宣城红土和下蜀黄土有显著差异,表现出明显的冲、洪积相特性。第四纪红土的"二元结构",反映了研究区域第四纪古环境的多变性和复杂性:早期红土形成后,因受间冰期湿热气候的影响,多受流水作用改造;而晚期红土更多地受风尘堆积的影响,沉积后虽经过了强烈的原位风化,但仍保留了风尘沉积的特性。     

中国长江口潮滩湿地土壤重金属含量的时空变化规律及环境指示意义

The environment of estuarine wetlands has been attracting worldwide attention. To study the spatial distribution of pollutants in the tidal flats of the Yangtze Estuary, Southeast China, the Eastern Tidal Flat of Chongming Island (EC) and the Jiuduansha Shoal (JS) of the estuary were selected as the study sites. At each of the two sites, a cross-transect from land to sea was established and topsoil and soil core samples in the cross-transect were collected spatially and seasonally to determine their contents of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Mn, and Fe) and grain-size characteristics. The results showed that the heavy metal loads were commonly higher in the soils of nearshore high tidal flats and had a tendency of decreasing from land to sea at both of the study sites. The contents of heavy metals in the soils of the high and medial tidal flats were mostly higher in April and November but lower in July. Corresponding spatial and seasonal variations in grain size of the intertidal soils were also observed at the two study sites. The soils in the nearshore high tidal flats were finer and gradually got coarser seawards; they were relatively finer in April and November but coarser in July. Furthermore, the contents of heavy metals in the intertidal soils of both the sites EC and JS were significantly positively correlated with the clay (<2 μm) and 2-20 μm fractions, but negatively with the sand (>63 μm) and 20-63 μm fractions, which suggested that the heavy metals in the intertidal soils were primarily combined with the fine particulate fraction (<20 μm), especially clay, and hence the spatial and seasonal variations in heavy metals were actually caused by the change of the grain-size characteristics of the intertidal soils due to the different sedimentary environments in the estuary. The results of this study may also contribute to a better understanding of the soil formation and classification in the tidal flats of the Yangtze Estuary.
