修复植物香薷堆肥对缺铜土壤上冬小麦生长和铜吸收的初步研究

通过堆积腐解处理生长在Cu污染土壤上的修复植物-海州香薷,将其研制成堆肥,作为基肥施用于缺Cu土壤,以矫正作物缺Cu症状。盆栽试验研究了这种堆肥对冬小麦(TriticumaestivumL.)生长和Cu吸收的影响。结果表明,施用海州香薷堆肥可显著提高生长在缺Cu土壤上的小麦的株高、生物量和籽实千粒重。与CK相比,千粒重可提高58.9%,籽实产量提高近1倍;而在这种缺Cu土壤上单纯施加N、P、K化肥,反而降低小麦生物量和籽实千粒重。可见,将Cu污染土壤上生长的修复植物海州香薷制成堆肥,施用于缺Cu土壤是一种可实现修复植物资源化的有效途径。     

EDTA与EDDS螯合诱导印度芥菜吸取修复重金属复合污染土壤研究

盆栽试验比较研究了EDTA和易降解的EDDS对复合污染土壤中Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd的活化能力及印度芥菜对4种重金属的吸收与转运特征。结果表明:施用量相同的条件下,EDDS活化土壤Cu的能力与EDTA相当;而EDDS活化土壤Zn、Pb、Cd,尤其是活化土壤Pb、Cd的能力小于EDTA,这与两种螯合剂与不同重金属形成螯合物的稳定常数相一致。向复合污染土壤中施入3mmol/kg和6mmol/kgEDDS均可诱导印度芥菜叶中超量积累Cu。本研究中3mmol/kgEDDS的不同施用方式(单次施,分2次和4次施)对印度芥菜叶片Cu含量的影响差异不显著。各处理印度芥菜叶中的重金属浓度要远高于茎中的浓度,茎中的Cu浓度随土壤溶液Cu浓度线性增加,而叶中Cu的浓度随土壤溶液Cu浓度先增加后下降。

重金属污染土壤生态工程修复的试验研究

该文研究了细叶香薷(Moslem chinensis Maxim)和构树(Broussonetia papyrifera(Linn.) Vent.)对Cu、Zn污染土壤的修复及污染土壤对植物生理性状的影响。研究结果表明：随着盆栽土壤中重金属浓度的增高，植物体内吸收重金属的浓度相应增大。Cu在细叶香薷体内的含量是地上部＜地下部，Zn含量却是地上部＞地下部；重金属Cu、Zn在构树体内的浓度都是根部＞叶部＞茎部。细叶香薷的富集系数基本大于1，对Cu的最大富集系数是2.42；构树的富集系数都在0.5以下，但由于其地上部生物量很大，从土壤中移除的重金属量也很可观，而且构树能产生经济价值，建议把构树和细叶香薷组成一个立体的生态工程修复模式，既能修复污染土壤又能恢复污染地区的生态环境和土壤微生物环境，产生经济和环境效益。     

香薷植物修复铜污染土壤的研究进展

土壤铜污染有自然来源和人为来源。铜污染土壤中有机质、Fe／Al氧化物对铜的专性吸附，是影响土壤中铜生物有效性的主要因素。近年来，我国原生植物修复材料如海州香薷、鸭跖草、酸模、紫花香薷在国内铜污染土壤的研究中得到广泛应用。其中．采用海州香薷开展铜污染土壤植物修复机理和修复技术的研究，已从实验室水培、盆栽试验的生长反应特性、耐及解铜毒的生理生化反应，进展到室外大田修复的示范工程及技术推广阶段。紫花香薷在重金属复合污染土壤上，也有修复前景。开展植物修复材料的产后处置研究，综合利用和深加工，增大植物修复材料价值，对加强植物修复工程的示范和推广步伐，有重要意义。     

重金属污染土壤的植物修复研究Ⅰ.金属富集植物Brassica juncea对铜、锌、镉、铅污染的响应

用来修复污染土壤的理想植物应具有高的生物量并能忍耐和积累污染物.印度芥菜(Brassica juncea)能富集多种重金属且生物量较大.本文研究了Zn、Cd、Cu、Pb 4种重金属对印度芥菜生长的影响,特别是重金属对印度芥菜地上部生物量的影响.结果表明,在含Cu 250 mg/kg、Pb 500mg/kg或Zn 500mg/kg的污染土壤上,印度芥菜能够忍耐,正常生长.印度芥菜在含Cd 200 mg/kg的土壤上发生镉毒而出现失绿黄化症状,Cd与中等浓度的Zn、Cu、Pb共存时毒害更为严重.这种植物适合Cu、Zn、Pb中等污染土壤的修复.     

共培养对土壤重金属污染植物修复的调控作用

A co-culture of two plant materials, Astragalus sinicus L., a leguminous plant with concomitant nodules, and Elsholtzia splendens Naki-a Cu accumulator, along with treatments of a chelating agent (EDTA), root excretions (citric acid), and a control with E. splendens only were used to compare the mobility of heavy metals in chelating agents with a co-culture and to determine the potential for co-culture phytoremediation in heavy metal contaminated soils. The root uptake for Cu, Zn, and Pb in all treatments was significantly greater (P < 0.05) than that of the control treatment. However with translocation in the shoots, only Cu, Zn, and Pb in plants grown with the EDTA treatment and Zn in plants co-cropped with the A. sinicus treatment increased significantly (P < 0.05). In addition, when a co-culture in soils with heavy and moderate contamination was compared, for roots in moderately contaminated soils only Zn concentration was significantly less (P < 0.05) than that of heavily contaminated soils, however, Cu, Zn, and Pb concentrations of shoots were all significantly lower (P < 0.05). Overall, this "co-culture engineering" could be as effective as or even more effective than chelating agents, thereby preventing plant metal toxicity and metal leaching in soils as was usually observed in chelate-enhanced phytoremediation.     

Copper Tolerance and Accumulation of Elsholtzia splendens Nakai in a Pot Environment

ABSTRACT

Elsholtzia splendens Naki has been identified as a copper (Cu) geobotanical indicator. In this study, the effects of Cu supply levels (control, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 mg kg¹) on the growth and Cu accumulation in E. splendens were studied in one pot experiment. The results showed that no reduction in shoot height and dry weight was noted when the plants were grown at Cu supply levels up to 1000 mg kg^?1 in soil. Slight stimulation on shoot growth was noted at Cu levels ≥ 100 mg kg^?1. Copper concentration in shoots and roots increased with increasing Cu levels, and reached a maximum of 1751 and 9.45 mg kg^?1 (DW) at 1200 mg Cu kg^?1. The amount of Cu accumulated in the roots and shoots were 313 and 22 μ g plant^?1 at external Cu levels of 1000 and 800 mg kg^?1, respectively. The shoot/root Cu ratios ranged from 0.005 to 0.008 and more than 92% of the total Cu taken up by E. splendens was accumulated in roots. Furthermore, Cu concentrations in roots and shoots were significant and positively correlated with total soil Cu, water, ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃), ammonium (NH₄)-acetate, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) extractable Cu. These results indicate that E. splendens can considered as a Cu tolerant and accumulated plant, and root is the major part for accumulation of Cu in E. splendens.     

Effects of Chelating Compounds on Mobilization and Phytoextraction of Copper and Lead in Contaminated Soils

Six chelating compounds: ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA), ethylenediamine-N, N'-disuccinic acid (EDDS), tartaric acid, citric acid, glycine and histidine, were tested as potential agents to mobilize copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) from two soils polluted with the emissions from copper smelters. Copper was mobilized with the following efficiency: EDTA > citric and tartaric acids > histidine > EDDS and glycine, while Pb extractability followed the order: EDTA > EDDS >> tartaric and citric acid >> glycine and histidine. With respect to these results, EDTA and EDDS were chosen for a pot experiment on chelate-induced phytoextraction of Cu and Pb by maize (Zea mays). Chelates were applied at the rates of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 mmol kg^?1, and this experiment was carried out at two different watering regimes. Both EDTA and EDDS caused significant increase of Cu uptake from soils, but its concentrations in biomass were far below those required for efficient soil remediation. Lead uptake was only slightly affected by chelate application. Losses of Cu from soil by leaching were much higher than those caused by plant uptake.     

Predicting heavy metal transfer from soil to plant: potential use of Freundlich‐type functions

Soil‐plant transfer of metals is a nonlinear process. We therefore aimed at evaluating the potential of Freundlich‐type functions (c_Plant = b × c_Soil^a) to predict Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn concentrations in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain and leaf (c_Plant) from soil concentrations (c_Soil). Wheat plants and soil A horizons, mainly developed from Holocene sediments, were sampled at 54 agricultural sites in Slovakia. Metals were extracted from soils with 0.025 M EDTA at pH 4.6 and concentrated HNO₃/HClO₄ (3:1); plant samples were digested with concentrated HNO₃. Total metal concentrations of soil samples were 0.07—25 mg Cd kg^—1, 9.3—220 mg Cu kg^—1, 14—1827 mg Pb kg^—1, and 34—1454 mg Zn kg^—1. On average, between 20 % (Zn) and 80 % (Cd) of the total concentrations were EDTA‐extractable. The total metal concentrations of grain samples were < 0.01—1.3 mg Cd kg^—1, 1.3—6.6 mg Cu kg^—1, < 0.05—0.30 mg Pb kg^—1, and 8—104 mg Zn kg^—1. The leaves contained up to 3.2 mg Cd kg^—1, 111 mg Cu kg^—1, 4.3 mg Pb kg^—1, and 177 mg Zn kg^—1. Linear regression without data transformation was precluded because of the nonnormal data distribution. The Freundlich‐type function was suitable to predict Cd (grain: r = 0.71, leaf: 0.86 for the log‐transformed data) and Zn concentrations (grain: 0.69, leaf: 0.68) in wheat grain and leaf from the EDTA‐extractable metal concentrations. The prediction of Cu and Pb concentrations in grain (Cu: r = 0.44, Pb: 0.41) was poorer and in leaf only possible for Pb (0.50). We suggest to use the Freundlich‐type function for defining threshold values instead of linear regression because it is more appropriate to simulate the nonlinear uptake processes and because it offers interpretation potential. The results suggest that the coefficient b of the Freundlich‐type function depends on the intensity of metal uptake, while the coefficient a reflects the plants' capability to control the heavy metal uptake. The latter is also sensitive to metal translocation in plants and atmospheric deposition.<?show $6#>     

Comparison of Four Different Extraction Methods to Assess Plant Availability of Some Metals in Organic Forest Soil

Abstract

The objective was to find an uncomplicated test giving the best correlation between calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) extracted from humic forest soil and the total concentration of the element in some understorey forest plants using well‐known extractants. The elements were selected because Ca, Mg, Mn, Cu, and Zn are essential nutrients to plants and Zn and Pb are potentially harmful heavy metals received over the years in the southern parts of Norway by long‐range atmospheric transport. Extraction of organic podzolic surface soil (Oe and Oa horizon) from 17 different pine forests in central and southern Norway was carried out with four different reagents to evaluate uptake of Ca, Mg, Mn, Cu, Zn, and Pb in the understorey plants Deschampsia flexuosa, Vaccinium myrtillus (leaves and stems), and Vaccinium vitis‐idaea (leaves and stems). The NH₄OAc, NH₄NO₃, HCl, and EDTA solutions used to extract the soil in addition to concentrated HNO₃, demonstrated variability in capacity to extract the different elements from the soil. The extractants yielded significant relations between concentrations of Ca, Mn, and Pb in the Oe or Oa horizon and some of the plants or plant compartments, even though distinct correlation was more dependent on species and plant part than the actual extractant used. In the case of Zn, Cu, and Mg only a few sporadic correlations were observed between the different plant/plant compartments and the element concentrations in the soil extracts. Altogether none of the extractants was shown to be superior to the others in providing the best correlation with the elements concentrations in selected plant/plant compartments. In the case of Ca, Mn, and Pb all the extractants including concentrated HNO₃ provided significant correlations with at least some of the selected plant/plant compartments.     

Accumulation and potential sources of heavy metals in soils of the Hetao area, Inner Mongolia, China

Soil contamination by heavy metals is a problem in agricultural irrigation systems.To assess the accumulation and sources of heavy metals in the Yongji irrigation district of the Hetao area,Inner Mongolia,China,195 soil samples from 39 sites(0–100 cm)were collected,and Zn,Cu,Pb,Cr,and Cd concentrations were analyzed.The mean concentrations were 107.17,32.48,12.31,53.53,and 0.22 mg kg-1,respectively,with no significant differences between soil depths(P>0.05).Concentrations of Zn,Cu,and Cd were higher than the background levels,with moderate accumulation;the contamination factor(CF)values were 1.9,1.7,and 1.9,respectively,and the geoaccumulation index(Igeo)was>0.Concentrations of Pb and Cr were lower than,or close to,the background levels(CF<1,Igeo<0),indicating that they originated from a natural source.The monomial potential ecological risk index(Eri)for Zn,Cu,Pb,and Cr was low;Eri for Cd was 55.73,implying a moderate risk.The grade of potential ecological risk index of the five heavy metals(RI)was low,declining from south to north.The studied soils were contaminated with Zn,Cu,and Cd;principal component(PC)analysis implicated the enrichment of Cd and partial Cu(high loading in PC 2)was related to agricultural activities;Zn and partial Cu,closely associated with PC 3,may have originated from irrigation water from the Yellow River.Future agricultural development should focus on fertilizer and pesticide application and the quality of irrigation water.     

Effect of chelating agents on phytotoxicity of lead and lead transport

Abstract

The major purpose of these experiments was to determine if Pb uptake by plants was significantly increased by chelating agents used in plant nutrition. The interaction of Pb with some other elements in barley plants (Hordeum vulgare L. C.V. Atlas 57) and bush bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. C.V. Improved Tendergreen) was studied in a glasshouse with different rates of Pb in solution culture and in amended (control, S, CaCO₃, MgCO₃) Yolo loam soil with and without the chelating agent DTPA (diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid). In a solution culture experiment, 10^‐3 M Pb significantly decreased bush bean yields in both control and DTPA treatments. The CaCO₃ added to nutrient solution decreased the concentration of Pb in leaves, stems, and roots and prevented the toxicity of 10^‐3 M Pb⁺⁺. At high Pb levels, interactions between Pb and Mn and Pb and Fe were observed, except with CaCO₃. In the soil experiment, the yields of barley and bush bean were influenced only slightly by Pb. The Pb concentration in barley shoots and bush bean leaves and stems was increased considerably in the presence of DTPA, however. In the absence of DTPA, the effect of added Pb was very small in the control and S amended soil treatments and almost negligible in the CaCO₃ and MgCO₃ amended soil treatments. Application of DTPA facilitated the translocation of Pb, Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn to shoots. The effect was dependent upon soil pH. Particularly, the Fe was increased by DTPA at low pH while the effect was negligible at high pH. This was opposite the effect on Pb. The DTPA resulted in considerable Pb transport to leaves and stems at high soil pH. The uptake pattern of Zn and Cu was similar to that of Pb. It can be expected that chelating agents can increase the migration of Pb to plants andincrease its uptake by plants, and hence, entry into food chains.     

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation on the growth of Elsholtzia splendens and Zea mays and the activities of phosphatase and urease in a multi-metal-contaminated soil under unsterilized conditions

A pot culture experiment was carried out to study the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) inoculation on the growth of Elsholtzia splendens and Zea mays and the activities of phosphatase and urease in a soil contaminated with Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd. Two AM fungal inocula, MI containing Glomus caledonium and MII containing Gigaspora margarita,Gigaspora decipens, Scutellospora gilmori, Acaulospora spp. and Glomus spp., were applied to the soil. The plants of E. splendens and Z. mays were harvested after 24 and 10 weeks of growth, respectively. Both plant species had a similar trend in mycorrhizal colonization rates, MI > MII > control. Shoot and root biomass of Z. mays was increased by MI, while not affected significantly by MII. Although both MI and MII increased plant dry weight of E. splendens, MII was more effective. Mycorrhizal dependency (MD) with MI and MII was 14.8 and 33.5, respectively for E. splendens, and 11.0 and 0.9, respectively for Z. mays. Both inocula increased the activities of phosphatase and urease in the soils of E. splendens and Z. mays, but MI was more effective than MII for urease, while MII more effective than MI for phosphatase. Although the mechanisms involved in these responses are not clear, AM fungal inoculum may be important and used for the phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils, but both inoculum type and host species must be considered.
