Abstract

The humus composition was analyzed and the humic acid characterized by UV and visible absorption spectroscopy in order to investigate the rotting and maturing process of city refuse compost according to the method of Kumada et al. During the composting process, the following findings were obtained: (1) the HT value was almost constant, but the HE/HT ratio varied somewhat, (2) HA increased with decrease in FA, and the PQ value so increased clearly, (3) the shoulder-like absorption at a wavelength near 270 nm weakened, and (4) the RF value of humic acid increased, whereas the Δ log K value seldom varied.

The IR spectrum of humic acid gradually changed as follows: (1) the absorption band in the 1700-1600 cm^-1 region and in the 1550-1500 cm^-1 region increased slightly, (2) the band in the 1100-1000 cm^-1 region decreased, and (3) the bands at 835 and 710 cm^-1 com pletely disappeared. On the whole, the shape of the IR spectrum of the city refuse compost became featureless. These changes were probably due to the oxidation which occurred in the composting process.

The peach tree root respiration rate is high, which requires large amounts of oxygen. When the rhizosphere oxygen content is poor, the root respiration and energy metabolism are restrained which will have negative impacts on peach trees growth, fruit quality and yield, especially during high temperature and rainy season. Our objectives were to investigate the relationship between rhizosphere ventilation and orchard soil enzyme activity, nutrient status, root architecture and growth of young peach trees. Two-year-old ‘Chunmei’ peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) was subjected to various treatments (Treatment 1 [T1]: ventilation every three days; T2: ventilation every six days; T3: natural ventilation; Control: no ventilation) under field cultivation conditions. The soil oxygen content decreased and subsequently increased during the growth period, reaching a minimum in August. The rhizosphere soil oxygen content was higher under ventilation treatment than control, and T1 markedly increased the rhizosphere soil oxygen content. The rhizosphere soil available K and organic matter decreased while the rhizosphere soil available N and available P content increased and the soil enzyme activity was improved under ventilation treatments. The root activity and root nitrate reductase activity increased under ventilation treatments. Under T1, the total root surface area, total root length and number of first lateral root and second lateral root were increased significantly, but the average root diameter and the average length of first lateral root was reduced significantly, the branching angle between first lateral root and vertically downward direction was decreased, the number of small angle was increased. T1improved leaf functions and increased the net photosynthetic rate. Under T1, the leaf chlorophyll content and leaf protective enzyme activity (Superoxide dismutase, Guaiacol peroxidase and Catalase) increased markedly in the middle- and late-growth period and leaf senescence was postponed. The total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents of young peach roots, shoots and leaves, as well as shoot growth, leaf weight and leaf area, increased under T1.

The electrokinetic behavior of colloidal particles in three waterlogged soils at 38°C was investigated with reference to the stability changes of soil colloidal suspensions under reductive conditions. The dispersed clay particles of the three soils exhibited a negative zeta (ζ) potential. The absolute value of the ζ-potential, |-ζ|, of these soils in the earlier period of waterlogging decreased, which caused the flocculation of clay particles. The concentrations of divalent cations, i.e., Fe²⁺ and Ca²⁺ in the soil solutions were estimated to be higher than their critical flocculation concentrations (CFCs) on the basis of the observed CFCs of Fe²⁺ and Ca²⁺ for the clay suspension of halloysite as a reference. With the progression of the reduction process, clay particles of one soil still exhibited a low |- ζ| and flocculated. The concentrations of Fe²⁺ and Ca²⁺ in the soil solutions were estimated to be higher than their CFCs, respectively. The clay particles of two sandy soils, however, showed an increase in |- ζ| due to the increase in pH and dispersed. The concentrations of Fe²⁺ and Ca²⁺ in the soil solutions were estimated to be lower than their CFCs, respectively. The stability changes of the soil colloidal suspensions by these divalent cations under sequential soil-reduction can be explained by the alteration of the Stern potential (- ψ _s ), which determines the repulsion energy related to the potential energy of interaction between two particles. The apparent decrease in the Ca²⁺ concentration of the soil solutions in the later period of waterlogging was explained largely by the re-adsorption of water-soluble Ca²⁺ on the exchange sites of soil clays with the decrease in the Fe²⁺ concentration in the soil solution.     

Sources and Ecological Risks of Heavy Metals in Soils Under Different Land Uses in Bangladesh

Soil heavy metal pollution, influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors, significantly reduces environmental quality. In this study, Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb in eight different land-use soils from Patuakhali District in Bangladesh were assessed. Concentrations of Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb in soils were 1-87, 5-271, 4-181, 0-80, 0.2-24.0, and 5-276 mg kg^-1, respectively, measured using an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer. The enrichment factor, pollution load index (PLI), and contamination factor (C_fⁱ) of metal i were used to assess the ecological risk posed by metals in soils. The PLI ranged from 0.78 to 2.66, indicating baseline levels to progressive deterioration of soil due to metal contamination. However, C_fⁱ of Cd ranged from 1.8 to 12.0, which showed that the studied soils were strongly impacted by Cd. Considering the severity of the potential ecological risk of a single metal, the descending order was Cd > As > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cr. Soils under all land uses showed moderate to very high potential ecological risk.

Effects of Wastewater Irrigation on Physicochemical Properties of Soil and Availability of Heavy Metals in Soil and Vegetables

The present study investigated the impact of irrigation with wastewater on nutritional property and heavy‐metal concentrations in the soil and consequent accumulation in vegetables at sites having long‐term uses of wastewater for irrigation. Samples of irrigation water, soil, and root and shoot parts of palak plants were analyzed to determine the concentration of heavy metals. Wastewater irrigation led to increases in the total and phytoavailable heavy‐metal concentrations in the soil at all the sites. Heavy‐metal concentrations in soil under wastewater irrigation were negatively and positively correlated with soil hydrogen potential (pH) and organic carbon (OC), respectively. The enrichment factor and metal pollution index were higher at wastewater‐irrigated sites as compared to the clean water–irrigated ones. The study concludes that wastewater irrigation modified the physicochemical properties of the soil, leading to more availability of heavy metals in the soil and consequently to the plant.

为了充分发挥高分子土壤改良剂和一些天然土壤改良材料改土培肥作用,选取了高分子土壤改良剂聚丙烯酰胺（PAM）,分别与具有改土培肥功能的天然土壤改良材料——油渣、秸秆、蛭石、草炭、页岩、风化煤按不同用量混合施入土壤,利用湿筛法、称重法、重铬酸钾容量法、离心机法,测定对土壤水稳性团聚体、孔隙度、土壤有机质、有效含水量和水分蒸发等土壤理化性质的影响。结果表明:（1）各处理与单施PAM相比,对土壤孔隙度没有明显影响,但对土壤水稳性团聚体含量均有不同程度的提高,其中PAM与0.6%秸秆处理和PAM与0.3%油渣处理对其影响最为显著,较单施PAM提高4.9%和4.6%;（2）通过天然土壤改良剂自身的有机质含量测定以及PAM分别与六种天然土壤改良材料混合施入土壤培养前后有机质含量测定,结果分析得出,随着材料施入量增加,各处理培养前后土壤有机质含量呈现递增趋势;风化煤处理对土壤有机质含量增加显著,培养后其土壤损失有机质百分比较高,幅度约50%,页岩处理培养土壤损失有机质的百分比较少,幅度约为6%;（3）通过各处理在不同水吸力下土壤持水量和蒸发观测得出,PAM与3%的风化煤处理显著提高土壤有效水含量,PAM与1%的秸秆处理和PAM与1%的油渣处理显著提高了土壤抗蒸发能力。总体上,PAM与风化煤、PAM与油渣和PAM与秸秆处理对土壤结构、土壤有机质含量、土壤水分等方面有显著改善作用。这对进一步研制具有多重功能的土壤改良剂提供参考。     

Assessment of soil contamination by potentially toxic elements in the aljustrel mining area in order to implement soil reclamation strategies

Land pollution due to past mining activities is a major environmental issue in many European countries. The Aljustrel mine (SW Portugal), located in the western sector of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IBP) presents a negative visual and environmental impact as a consequence of the mining activity that has developed since the Roman era. Its impacts are also a restraint on the life quality of the population. The exposure of pyrite and other sulphides to air are responsible for the pollution observed in soils, surface water and stream sediments. This paper investigates the pollution load of potential toxic elements in soil samples collected around the Aljustrel mining area. The aim is to assess the levels of soil contamination with respect to average concentrations of toxic elements in the region and to understand the partitioning and availability of pollutants in the area. The results showed severe soil contamination (mainly As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn). The concentrations of As (up to 3936 mg kg⁻¹) and certain heavy metals (up to 5414 mg kg⁻¹ Cu, 61·6 mg kg⁻¹ Cd, 20 000 mg kg⁻¹ Pb and 20 000 mg kg⁻¹ Zn) are two orders of magnitude above the regional South Portuguese Zone (SPZ) background values. The median concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn exceed the values established for world soils, the European Union, Portugal and Andalusia. The results suggest that the distribution patterns of Co, Cr and Ni element concentrations in the Aljustrel area are primarily influenced by the lithology and geochemistry nature of bedrock. The soil background of this geological domain is characterized by relatively high heavy metal contents, essentially derived from the parent rocks. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Study of cadmium (Cd)-induced oxidative stress in Eisenia fetida based on mathematical modelling

As a sensitive biological indicator, earthworms are widely used to monitor various pollutants of soil and provide an early warning for soil pollution. However, because many indices are involved in the exposure-induced oxidative stress response, practical applications of these indices are quite inconvenient. Therefore, it is appropriate to investigate the key monitoring index for use in early warning and pollution monitoring. Using Eisenia fetida as an experimental model in an indoor simulation experiment, the mathematical modelling of the effect on oxidative stress in earthworms under cadmium (Cd) stress was studied. The test lasted 40 d, with the removal of one earthworm every 10 d. The Cd²⁺ concentration gradient was set as 0, 1, 10, 20, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg kg^-1 dry weight. The earthworms were divided into two sections from the clitellum for the determination of total protein (TP) and peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities. Results showed that POD was the key index of oxidative stress in head tissues after 10 d of exposure, TP was the key index at 20 d, and POD became the key index again at 30 and 40 d. By contrast, in tail tissues, MDA and SOD were the key indices at an exposure time of 10 d, GPX at 20 d, CAT and TP at 30 d, and POD and MDA at 40 d. These results contribute to establishing a scientific method for ecotoxicological diagnosis and revealing the mechanism of soil Cd toxicity.     

产漆酶真菌筛选及其对PAHs污染土壤修复的初步研究

真菌漆酶可以高效转化多环芳烃(PAHs),因此,产漆酶真菌在PAHs污染土壤修复中极具应用前景。根据漆酶可将愈创木酚氧化为红色物质的特性,成功从土壤中筛选出一株能够分泌漆酶的真菌菌株F-1,初步鉴定该菌为疣孢漆斑菌(Myrothecium verrucaria)。通过Plackett-Burman试验对菌株F-1的产酶能力进行了分析,发现特定培养条件组合可将其酶活提高近300倍,达5628 U L-1,表明F-1的漆酶活性受到环境条件的显著影响。应用菌株F-1对PAHs污染土壤进行了初步修复研究,结果表明,接种F-1对菲、荧蒽、芘、苯并(a)蒽、屈、苯并(b)荧蒽、苯并(k)荧蒽、苯并(a)芘、二苯并(a,h)蒽、苯并(g,h,i)苝、茚苯(1,2,3-cd)芘等11种PAHs均有不同程度的降解,提示产漆酶真菌在PAHs污染土壤修复中的应用潜力。

Direct Determination of Organic Carbon by Dry Combustion in Soils with Carbonates

Abstract

In acid soils, where organic carbon (C) corresponds to total C, direct determination of organic C by dry combustion is possible, whereas in soils with carbonates also a separate measurement of inorganic C is required. In this case, direct quantification of organic C can be accomplished by the Walkley‐Black method, which is time‐consuming and involves greatly polluting by‐products. Hence, a method able to determine directly organic C by dry combustion is strongly needed for soils with carbonates. This study proposes such a method, after it was found to be highly reliable in calcareous soils of a Mediterranean island. The correction factor to use in the Walkley‐Black method to account for nonrecoverable C was calculated. It does not show any overall relationship with the contents of either organic C or inorganic C, and for all land uses examined in the island, it is not significantly different from the commonly suggested value 1.30.     

Effects of Salinity on Growth,Water-Use Efficiency,and Nutrient Leaching of Three Containerized Ornamental Plants

The scarcity of water in the Mediterranean area has frequently led to the use of saline water to irrigate ornamental plants in nurseries. Aloe vera L. Burm, Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln, and Gazania splendens Lem. plants were grown in a greenhouse from the University of Almeria in containers with a mixture of sphagnum peat moss and perlite in order to evaluate the effect of salinity levels on plant growth, water-use efficiency, and nutrient leaching. The experimental design consisted of three salinity treatments, four blocks, and four plants (one plant per container) per treatment-block giving a total of 12 plants per species plus border plants placed around the perimeter of the treatment plants to maintain uniform growing conditions for treatment plants. At the end of the experiment, plant dry weight and water-use efficiency were assessed for each salinity treatment. Leachate was collected weekly and analyzed for concentrations of nitrate-nitrogen, phosphate-phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium (NO₃^–N, PO₄^3–P, K⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺). Increasing salinity levels of irrigation water reduced the plant dry weight in all species and affected the leachates volume and their nutrients concentrations. We suggest the use of low salinity levels in water to improve the growth and to reduce the environmental impacts of nutrient runoff.     

不同土地利用条件下土壤质量综合评价方法

针对传统的土壤质量评价方法难以满足现代农业发展的现状,提出了一种土壤质量指数法(SQI)综合评价土壤质量,旨在为农业生产、农产品产地选址、农业环境保护等提供理论支撑和参考依据。将方法在北京市郊区7种土地利用方式（粮田、林地、湿地、荒地、果园、菜地、草地）上进行了应用,并与常规方法进行了对比,结果表明：采用隶属度模型评价土壤肥力,肥力高低顺序为：湿地＞菜地＞粮田＞林地＞果园＞荒地＞草地;采用内梅罗污染指数评价了重金属污染状况,污染程度高低顺序为：湿地＞菜地＞荒地＞果园＞林地＞粮田＞草地;采用SQI指数评价土壤综合质量,其综合质量的高低顺序为：湿地＞粮田＞菜地＞果园＞林地＞荒地＞草地。此外还对评价模型的适用范围、评价结果的划分等一系列关键问题进行了探讨,得出：SQI指数评价方法的应用及结果的划分涵盖了不同的土地利用方式的农用地,体现了各种土壤属性的差异和变异特性,评价结果可实现土壤综合质量定性和定量化,能够反映土壤的关键信息,符合农业生产需要。
