Influences of human waste–based ectopic fermentation bed fillers on the soil properties and growth of Chinese pakchoi

The reuse of human wastes as biofertilizer resources offers a new option for meeting the growing demand for food and addressing poor soil productivity. Feces and black water are ubiquitous human wastes that usually require proper treatment, such as composting and anaerobic digestion, to remove potentially harmful substances before they can be applied as fertilizers. As an effective treatment technology for livestock farming wastes, the ectopic fermentation bed system (EFS) provides a new means of treating human waste and producing organic fertilizer from decomposed filler. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the nutrient content and fertilizer potential of decomposed fillers obtained after EFS treatment of human feces and black water under different application conditions. The results showed that the application of fillers increased the yield of pakchoi by 3.60?29.32% and nutrient uptake by 8.09?83.45% compared to the CK, which could effectively promote the growth of pakchoi. This approach also improved the quality of pakchoi and enhanced soil fertility, and differences were observed in the effects of different kinds and application amounts of fillers. Soil EC was the soil property that had the greatest effect on the growth characteristics of pakchoi in this study. These findings help to better clarify the agronomic value of human wastes, but the effects of long-term filler application need to be further explored.

Matrix-bound phosphine in Antarctic biosphere

Phosphine (PH(3)) is a natural gaseous carrier of phosphorus in its geochemical cycles, and it might be of importance to the phosphorus balance of natural ecosystem. For the first time phosphine levels were investigated in the Earth's coldest, driest, and most southerly Antarctic biosphere. Matrix-bound phosphine (MBP) was found in sea animal guanos, ornithogenic sediments and soils. Phosphine concentrations varied with different sea animal guanos. Average phosphine concentrations in empire penguin, gentoo penguin, sea lion, skua and gull guanos were 2.54+/-1.28 ng kg(-1), 6.21+/-2.15 ng kg(-1), 9.12+/-4.66 ng kg(-1), 11.90+/-1.29 ng kg(-1) and 14.55+/-6.74 ng kg(-1), respectively. The contents of phosphorus in these various matrixes have an important effect on MBP concentrations. The levels of phosphine appeared an increasing tendency with the content of TP, IP and OP in sea animal guanos, ornithogenic sediments or soils. The correlation between PH(3) and Fe, Mn, Al in these matrixes was also analyzed and discussed. Phosphine showed an obviously positive correlation with Fe in sea animal guanos. However, excessively high Fe, Al and Mn may inhibit the formation of PH(3) in the ornithogenic soils or sediments in the Antarctic biosphere.

水‑力作用下黏土孔隙结构演化规律研究进展∗

黏土的微结构直接决定宏观水?力学特性，然而现阶段绝大多数模型都是基于宏观参数所建立，由于缺乏微观机制的支撑，己经难以满足科研和工程需求。因此开展孔隙结构演化研究可以加深对非饱和土复杂水?力学特性的认识。在详细阐述黏土的孔径分布特征及双孔模型的基础上，全面回顾和总结了近年来水?力作用下黏土孔隙结构演化规律的研究成果与最新进展，并进行了相关讨论。结果表明：考虑颗粒集聚体的双孔模型（集聚体间孔隙与集聚体内孔隙）可以更好地解释黏土复杂的水?力学特性。水?力作用对黏土孔隙结构的影响机制不同，根据文献试验数据和理论分析初步总结出水?力作用下土孔隙结构的演化规律。外力荷载只显著影响集聚体间孔隙，对集聚体内孔隙基本不影响；含水率变化会改变土颗粒相对位置，继而影响这两类孔隙结构，但是土水相互作用复杂，导致含水率变化对土孔隙结构影响机制仍不清晰，并且没有统一认识。鉴于此，在研究土水相互作用对微观孔隙影响时应充分考虑物理?化学作用，并构建微观孔隙结构演化与宏观变形的定量关系，这也是今后需要深入研究的方向。
