施用碱稳定固体的酸性土壤的Cu和Zn的形态分布

Fractionation of metals in a granite-derived acid sandy loam soil amended with alkaline-stabilised sewagesIudge biosolids was conducted in order to assess metal bioavailability and environmental mobility soil solution was extracted by a centrifugation and filtration technique. Metal speciation in the soil solution wasdetermined by a cation exchange resin method. Acetic acid and EDTA extracting solutions were used forextraction of metals in soil solid surfaces. Metal distribution in different fractions of soil solid phase was determined using a three-step sequential extraction scheme. The results show that the metals in the soilsolution existed in different fractions with variable lability and metals in the soil solid phase were also presentin various chemical forms with potentially different bioavail ability and environmental mobility Alkaline-stabilised biosolids could elevate solubility of Cu and proportion of Cu in organically complexed fractionsboth in soil liquid and solid phases, and may therefore increase Cu mobility. In contrast, the biosolids lowered the concentrations of water-soluble Zn (labile fraction) and exchangeable Zn and may hence decrease bioavailability and mobility of Zn. However, Fe and Mn oxides bound and organic matter bound fractions are likely to be Zn pools in the sludge-amended soil. These consequences possibly result from the liming effect and metal speciation of the sludge product and the difference in the chemistry between the metals in soil.     

Aluminium chemistry of the soil solution in an acid forest soil as influenced by percolation rate and soil structure

The predicted activity of Al in the soil solutions of acid forest soils often differs from that observed in the field. We have investigated the influence of soil structure and flow rate of the soil solution on the aluminum release to explain this divergence. Disturbed and undisturbed samples of soil were collected from the A and B horizons of a dystric cambisol at Waldstein (Fichtelgebirge, Germany). The samples were irrigated with solutions mixed according to field data on throughfall or soil solution composition with pH 3.5 with flow rates of 4 mm d^?1, 12 mm d^?1 and 36 mm d^?1. The percolates were analysed for major ions. Resulting relations between pH and pAl were compared with batch experiments. In neither the A horizon nor in the B horizon did soil structure influence the relation between pH and pAl. The apparent equilibrium between pH and pAl was described as the pK_app value with pK_app= pAl—a pH (where a is an empirical constant). It was found that the pK_app values for the column percolates were in the range of variation of those found in batch experiments. Flow rate had no influence on pK_app at 4 and 12 mm d^?1. At 36 mm d^?1 a significant increase of pK_app was observed. This relative undersaturation of Al was more pronounced in the A horizon than in the B horizon. When flow is fast Al release into the percolating soil solution might be limited by diffusion.

Aluminium phosphates as products of transformations of fertilizer phosphorus in an acid soil

The interactions of double superphosphate in an acid soddy-podzolic soil initially give rise to R-amorphous aluminium phosphates. These, however, have small admixtures of cryptocrystalline phases, indicating the beginning of the formation of aluminium phosphate minerals. Model experiments have demonstrated that minerals of the variscite group, mainly metavariscite, can be synthesized in the zone of reaction of the fertilizer P₂O₅ in an acid soil. Metavariscite, variscite and aluminium phosphates of various degrees of crystallization were studied with respect to the solubility and availability of their phosphorus to plants. The results of the experiment show metavariscite to have better solubility and higher availability to plants than variscite. Crystal aluminium phosphates seem to satisfy about 10–25% of the phosphorus needs of crops. Newly precipitated aluminophosphates have much higher availability.     

Use of agricultural by-products to study the pH effects in an acid tea garden soil

The amelioration of an acid Alfisol from a tea garden was studied by incorporating various plant materials: canola straw, wheat straw, rice straw, corn straw, soybean straw, peanut straw, faba bean straw, Chinese milk vetch shoot and pea straw prior to incubation for a maximum of 65 days. Soil pH increased after incubation with all the incorporated materials with the legumes causing the largest increases. The final soil pH was correlated with ash alkalinity ( r ² = 0.73), base cations ( r ² = 0.74) and N content ( r ² = 0.93) of the applied materials. It was assumed that the incubation released the base cations in plant materials as they decomposed which ultimately increased the base cation saturation of the soil. Similarly, soil exchangeable Al was also decreased with the incorporation of the legume plant materials and corn straw and rice straw. Our investigation demonstrated that legumes are the preferred choice for controlling the soil acidity and also for reducing the toxicity of Al in acid soils.     

Aluminium speciation; effects of sample storage

Effects of storage on surface waters fractionated for labile and non-labile aluminium (Al) were investigated. Water samples were collected from streams at two occasions; low and high flow respectively representing in varying concentrations of Al, organic substances and pH. Aluminium was measured as total monomeric Al and non-labile monomeric Al by the colourimetric reaction of pyrocatechol violet (PCV) combined with cation exchange using continuous flow analysis. The potentially toxic fraction, labile Al, can be calculated as the difference between total monomeric and non-labile monomeric Al.The samples were stored at 4 ± 2°C and the Al-fractions and pH were determined at several times during one to two months. The results indicate that the effects of sample storage were fairly small in stable low-flow waters with pH 6–8, but larger in unbalanced high-flow waters with pH 4–7, especially for the distribution of non-labile and labile monomeric Al.     

Influence of electrolyte composition and pH on cadmium sorption by an acid sandy soil

Extraction of soil with CaCl₂, has been recommended as a measure of bioavailability of heavy metals. Interpretation of soil extraction data in terms of plant uptake potential may improve when the chemical behaviour of heavy metals in these extracts is ascertained. The effect of pH, Cd complexation by Cl, and competition between Cd and Ca on Cd sorption was studied at an ionic strength of 0.03 m . Sorption of cadmium was measured in 0.01 m CaCl₂, in 0.01 m Ca(NO₃)₂, in a mixture of 0.02 m NaCl and 0.01 m NaNO₃, and in 0.03 m NaNO₃, at different values of pH ranging from 3.8 to 4.9. Adsorption isotherms were all linear, with a negative intercept on the y-axis. This intercept indicated (linear) desorption of only part of the initial soil Cd content. About 50% of the Cd in solution was complexed in the presence of 0.02 m Cl at ionic strength of 0.03. Due to competition between Cd and Ca, sorption of Cd was reduced by 80% in the Ca-electrolytes as compared with the Na-electrolytes. Sorption was highly sensitive to pH as each 0.5 unit increase in pH resulted in twice as much sorption of Cd. An empirical factor in the sorption equation that accounts for this effect of pH showed a similar response to changes in pH as a mechanistic factor. This mechanistic factor was developed by assuming that Cd and protons sorb onto the same sites and that a two-site Langmuir sorption isotherm for protons was able to describe the titration curve of the soil. This similarity may explain the successful application of the empirical factor in this and previous studies.     

Determination of aluminium activity from measurements of fluoride in acid soil solutions

Trivalent aluminium (Al) in solutions extracted Centrifugally from soils with pH ranging from 3.3 to 5.8 in 0.01 M CaCl₂ was estimated from: (i) iterative computation using total Al (pyrocatechol violet), pH, major ions and Al ligands (PCV + GEOCHEM); (ii) 15-s reaction with 8-quinolinol (8Q); and (iii) electrode measurements of free and Al-complexed fluoride. Fluoride and hydroxyl complexes were major Al-components. With decreasing pH, complexed and total F increased along with Al, but free F decreased. Results from PCV + GEOCHEM and 8Q were consistent with each other and with solubilities of the clay minerals in the soils. Relative to these, the F-electrode method increasingly overestimated Al as pH increased and Al decreased; its evident failure was not attributable to La interference, OH interference, or the uncertainty of electrode calibration at F activities below 10^?6 M.

Phosphorus availability and grass growth in biochar-modified acid soil: A study excluding the effects of soil pH

The low efficiency of phosphorus fertilization in weathered soils can limit plant development. The application of biochars in these areas has been seen as an important way to increase the efficiency of phosphorus fertilization and to promote better plant growth. However, biochars are alkaline materials that can increase soil pH and thus change the nutrient dynamics, which has been often ignored in studies of this nature. Here, all treatments had their pH standardized at 6.1 to eliminate the influence of pH on biochar application responses. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the real potential of coffee straw and eucalyptus bark biochars, produced under different pyrolysis temperatures, in the optimization of phosphorus fertilization and the development of Brachiaria brizantha. A greenhouse experiment was set up in a 2 × 2 × 5 factorial scheme, conducted for 120 days. The biochars, prepared from coffee straw and eucalyptus bark at 350 and 600°C, were applied at five rates in a Red-Yellow Oxisol. The application of biochars may reduce the demand for nutrients and correctives, optimize phosphorus fertilization and improve the development of Brachiaria brizantha, but this ability depends on the raw material and the pyrolysis temperature used in its production. All analysed biochars can contribute to higher tillering and dry matter production, but only coffee straw biochars and eucalyptus bark biochar produced at 350°C were efficient in the optimization of phosphorus fertilization until 120 days of cultivation of Brachiaria brizantha.     

Response of Ammophila breviligulata to acid rain and low soil pH

The effects of simulated acid rain and low soil pH on the growth of Ammophila breviligulata (Cape Strain), American beach grass, were studied in greenhouse experiments. Plants treated with acid rain were shorter, but shoot density, live shoot biomass, and rhizome biomass were not adversely affected by the acid rain treatments. Root biomass was greatest in the acid rain treatments. A manipulated soil pH of 4.0, typical of that found in field sites of dying beach grass, resulted in significantly reduced plant height, shoot density, shoot biomass, and rhizome biomass. Root biomass was greater in the low pH treatment and was six times greater than rhizome biomass in that treatment while the root to rhizome ratio was approximately 1∶1 in the control — likely a reflection of the plant's response to decreased nutrient availability in the low pH soil. Acid rain treatment of dune sand resulted in the leaching of Al, a potentially phytotoxic element.     

The effect of pH on zinc adsorption by a lateritic soil in the presence of citrate and oxalate

A change in the pH of the rhizosphere may alter the effect that organic ligands have on the concentration of Zn in the soil solution. To assess this effect, Zn adsorption by a lateritic soil was measured in the presence of 0, 1 and 3 mM of citrate and oxalate at nine values of pH ranging from pH 2 to 8. The concentrations of Zn and the ligands remaining in the solution were determined after 17 h shaking with the soil at soil:liquid ratio of 1:5. Subsequently, Zn speciation was calculated. The effectiveness of an organic ligand (L) in changing Zn adsorption was influenced by the sign of the charge of the Zn-L complex, the point of zero salt effect (PZSE) of the soil, the pH of the soil solution and the quantity of the complex formed. When the pH was above the PZSE of the soil, citrate decreased Zn adsorption by up to 38% whereas it increased Zn adsorption by as much as 51 % when the pH was below the PZSE. Oxalate had a similar but smaller effect than citrate under the conditions of the experiment. Zn adsorption was correlated with the concentration of zinc citrate in both pH regions (r2>0.98) and with oxalate above pH 2.7. The increase in Zn adsorption at low pH could have been caused by the adsorption of negatively charged Zn-L complexes.

Aluminium contamination and other changes of acid soil solution isolated by means of porcelain suction-cups

Comparison was made between the chemical composition of soil solutions isolated by means of a suction method using porcelain cups and by centrifugation. The soil solutions were isolated from three depths of field plots, where the soil (Typic Haplohumod) had been subjected to various pretreatments.
The cups were made of mullite and corundum as shown by X-ray diffraction analysis. The material when powdered had a cation exchange capacity of about 10meq kg⁻¹. Solutions with similar ionic strengths were obtained by the two methods, but the cups were found to release substantial amounts of Al and to adsorb H, Ca, K, Na and organic matter.
After the cups had been placed in the soil for more than 7 months, calculations suggested that the Al activity in cup solutions was controlled by amorphous gibbsite. This amorphous material was probably produced by proton-induced decomposition of part of the cup material. It is concluded that such cups are improper for isolation of soil solution from acid soils.     

The influence of vegetation and soil type on the speciation of iron in soil water

Soluble organic matter derived from exotic Pinus species has been shown to form stronger complexes with iron (Fe) than that derived from most native Australian species. It has also been proposed that the establishment of exotic Pinus plantations in coastal southeast Queensland may have enhanced the solubility of Fe in soils by increasing the amount of organically complexed Fe, but this remains inconclusive. In this study we test whether the concentration and speciation of Fe in soil water from Pinus plantations differs significantly from soil water from native vegetation areas. Both Fe redox speciation and the interaction between Fe and dissolved organic matter (DOM) were considered; Fe – DOM interaction was assessed using the Stockholm Humic Model. Iron concentrations (mainly Fe²⁺) were greatest in the soil waters with the greatest DOM content collected from sandy podosols (Podzols), where they are largely controlled by redox potential. Iron concentrations were small in soil waters from clay and iron oxide‐rich soils, in spite of similar redox potentials. This condition is related to stronger sorption on to the reactive clay and iron oxide mineral surfaces in these soils, which reduces the amount of DOM available for electron shuttling and microbial metabolism, restricting reductive dissolution of Fe. Vegetation type had no significant influence on the concentration and speciation of iron in soil waters, although DOM from Pinus sites had greater acidic functional group site densities than DOM from native vegetation sites. This is because Fe is mainly in the ferrous form, even in samples from the relatively well‐drained podosols. However, modelling suggests that Pinus DOM can significantly increase the amount of truly dissolved ferric iron remaining in solution in oxic conditions. Therefore, the input of ferrous iron together with Pinus DOM to surface waters may reduce precipitation of hydrous ferric oxides (ferrihydrite) and increase the flux of dissolved Fe out of the catchment. Such inputs of iron are most probably derived from podosols planted with Pinus.

Effect of different amounts of acid application in fertigation on calcareous soil pH

This study was carried out during 3 different periods and in 24 various greenhouses. Average pH values of the irrigation water (7.61, 7.55, 7.29) and average soil pH values before fertigation (7.61, 7.57, 7.55) were measured. Average fertigation pH values were measured to be 6.80, 6.61 and 6.44. Depending on fertigation pH values, average soil pH values decreased at the rate of 0.52, 0.65 and 0.60 compared to those before fertigation. Although average soil pH decreased depending on acid doses used by growers in the greenhouse, this decrease was not sufficient. In conclusion, if growers fertilize with lower fertigation pH doses, availability of plant nutrients can be increased. Additionally, this may lead to less fertilizer use by increasing availability of fertilizers used in fertigation in soils that have calcareous and high pH values. It is clear that further studies should be done with this approach.     

Adsorption complex,pH relationships in some acid mediterranean forest soil profiles

Acid soils in some mediterranean forests were investigated for the composition of the adsorption complex and the gradients in soil pH. The effective CEC (235–838 mmol_c kg^?1) and base saturation (93–98 %) are highest in ectorganic horizons. In the mineral horizons the effective CEC (23–52 mmol_c kg^?1) and base saturation (11–40 %) are much lower. The exchange complex of mineral horizons consists for 90 (AEh) to 40 percent (Bw2) of organic matter. The effective CEC of the mineral clay fraction is low (60 mmol_c kg^?1 clay). The clear trends in soil pH within the ectorganic layer of deciduous and sclerophyllous oak forests are attributed to vertical spatial separation of nitrogen mineralization (ammonification and strongly impeded nitrification) and nutrient uptake by roots (mainly NH₄). This leads to a high effective CEC in the fermentation layer and acidification of the uppermost part of the mineral soil. In contrast to the situation in temperate forests this process is impeded in mediterranean coniferous forests, where litter decomposition is extremely slow and both proton production and consumption take place in the organic rich mineral horizon.     

柠檬酸盐和磷酸盐存在下酸性磷素酶在矿物和土壤胶体上的吸附

The aim of this work was to study the influence of phosphate and citrate, which are common inorganic andorganic anions in soils, on the adsorption of acid phosphatase by kaolin, goethite and the colloids separatedfrom yellow-brown soil (YBS) and latosol (LS) in central-south China. The YBS colloid has the major claymineral composition of 1.4 nm mineral, illite and kaolinite while the LS colloid mainly contains kaolinite andoxides. The adsorption isotherm of acid phosphatase on the examined soil colloids and minerals fitted tothe Langmuir model. The amount of enzyme adsorbed in the absence of ligands was in the order of YBScolloid ＞LS colloid＞kaolin≈goethite. In the presence of phosphate or citrate, the amounts of the enzymeadsorbed followed the sequence YBS colloid＞kaolin＞LS colloid＞goethite. The presence of ligands alsodecreased the binding energy between the enzyme and soil colloids or minerals. With the increase of ligandconcentration from 10 mmol L-1 to 400 m mol L-1, different behaviors for the adsorption of enzyme werefound in the colloid and mineral systems studied. A sharp decrease in enzyme adsorption was observed ongoethite while gradual decreases of enzyme adsorption were recorded in the two soil colloid systems. However,no any decrease was found for the amount of enzyme adsorbed on kaolin at higher ligand concentrations.When phosphate or citrate was introduced to the system before the addition of enzyme, the ligands usuallyenhanced the adsorption of enzyme. The results obtained in this study suggested the important role ofkaolinite mineral in the adsorption of enzyme molecules in acidic soils in the presence of various ligands.     

Chemical effects of pH 3 sulphuric acid on a soil profile

Cores of podzolic soil (monolith lysimeters) were treated for 4.8 yr with 1500 mm yr^?1 of either 0.5 mM H₂SO₄ at pH 3, equivalent to 24 g S m^?2 yr^?1 (acid treated) or distilled water (controls). The acid treatment was about 37 times greater than the average annual input of H₃O⁺ from rain at the site from which the monoliths were taken. Acid treatment acidified the litter (from pH(CaCl₂)3.4 to pH(CaCl₂)2.6) and the mineral soil to a depth of 80 cm (mean pH(CaCl₂) decrease of 0.2 unit). In the litter and upper A horizon, ion-exchange reactions provided the main neutralizing mechanism, resulting in a decrease in the reserves of extractable (in 2.5 % acetic acid) Ca, Mg, and Mn of about 70 to 80 %. Dissolution of solid phase Al from hydrous oxides provided most neutralization below this depth. Al3⁺ was the principal soluble Al species throughout the profile. In the litter and upper A horizon, some of the mobilized Al³⁺ was retained on cation exchange sites resulting in an increase in exchangeable Al. Deeper in the profile, where the exchange sites were effectively saturated with Al³⁺, no increase in exchangeable Al occurred, and Al³⁺ was, therefore, available for leaching. Some reversible adsorption of SO₄ ^2?, associated with hydrous Al oxides, occurred in the Bs and C horizons. The results are discussed in relation to possible effects of acid deposition over regions of Europe and N. America.
