Abstract: | Purpose Deriving toxicity thresholds through bioassays has become the scientific basis for the risk assessment of metal contamination in soils, but few studies have been reported for Ni toxicity in Chinese soils. In addition, although leaching has been recommended to increase the ecological relevance of the output of soil toxicity bioassays, its impacts on Ni threshold and soil solutions in soils remained to be shown. Therefore, in this study, 17 soils were collected throughout China and were assessed for Ni toxicity using substrate-induced nitrification (SIN) assay for both un-leached and leached treatments. Meanwhile, soil solutions of all Ni treatments were extracted and analyzed. This study provides information for the development of a terrestrial biotic ligand model (TBLM) for Ni in Chinese soils. |
