Abstract: | To evaluate the e ects of long-term applications of phosphorus fertilizers on mobility of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and heavy
metals in agricultural soils, a sandy soil and a loamy soil were spiked with ammonium phosphate at application rates of 0, 25, 50,
100, 250, and 500 mg P per kilogram of soil. A series of 15-cm long soil columns were constructed by packing incubated soils of
varying concentrations of P. The soil columns were consecutively leached by simulated rainfalls for six cycles. The contents of water
extractable organic carbon in both sandy and loamy soils increased significantly with increasing rates of P applications. Relatively
high rates of P applications could induce a marked increase in DOM concentrations in the leachates, the e ects were larger with the
sandy soil rather than with the loamy soil. Applications of P changed the partitioning of trace metals in the soil solids and the soil
solutions. The increased P application rates also seemed to elevate the leaching of Cu, Cd, and Zn from soils. The concentrations of
Cu, Cd, and Zn in the leachates were positively correlated with DOM, probably due to the formation of metal-DOM complexes. In
contrast, Pb concentrations in the leachates were negatively correlated with DOM, and decreased with increasing rates of P applications.
The boosted leaching of DOM induced by high rates of P applications was probably due to the added phosphate ions competing for
adsorption sites in the soil solids with the indigenous DOM. |
