再生水灌溉对土壤团聚体中有机碳、氮和磷的形态及分布的影响

为了解再生水灌溉对砂质紫色土土壤有机碳、氮和磷的形态及其在不同粒级团聚体中分布的影响,比较了四川省彭州市灌溉年限分别为3a和8a的2个再生水灌溉区土壤中不同粒径团聚体中有机碳、氮和磷的分布及化学形态.结果表明,再生水灌溉区土壤有机碳、氮和磷主要分布在>2mm和2mm的大粒径团聚体所占比例下降,向较小粒径转化;>0.25mm团聚体中有机碳和氮含量显著上升,在所有5个粒级的团聚体中磷素含量都有显著提高.再生水灌溉还有利于紫色土重颗粒态有机碳和颗粒态氮的形成,且灌溉时间越长,效果越明显.在除<0.053mm的其它4个粒级团聚体中,再生水灌溉区土壤中交换态磷及钙结合态磷比例上升,而铁铝结合态磷比例下降.综上,再生水灌溉有效的改善了砂质紫色土土壤的有机碳库、氮库和磷库,长期灌溉可以减少人工施肥量.     

外源Cd、Cd - Zn复合污染对绿豆苗的影响

采用盆栽试验,分别向磁器口土样(土壤1)、校园土样(土壤2)中添加不同质量比的Cd及不同质量比的Zn+ Cd(20 mg/kg),研究不同质量比外源CA及Zn+Cd(20 mg/kg)复合污染对两种土壤中绿豆苗株高及绿豆苗吸收Cd的影响.结果表明:单一外源不同质量比Cd污染绿豆苗时,生长期为7d的绿豆苗株高较对照组有明显下降,随Cd污染加剧,绿豆苗生长受到抑制,随生长期延长而其危害加剧;随Cd污染的加剧,绿豆苗中Cd质量比增加,并呈正相关性,相同污染水平下,生长期为7d的绿豆苗Cd质量比均大于生长期为3d的;在不同污染水平下,土壤1的绿豆苗株高高于土壤2,其绿豆苗Cd质量比低于土壤2;Zn+ Cd(20 mg/kg)复合污染时,株高较对照组矮,绿豆苗中Cd质量比随着Zn质量比增加而增加,呈正相关,表现为协同作用;对比土壤1和土壤2,土壤2的株高较低,但其绿豆苗中Cd质量比在不同水平下均高于土壤1.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and n-alkane pollution characteristics and structural and functional perturbations to the microbial community: a case-study of historically petroleum-contaminated soil

Characterization of the typical petroleum pollutants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and n-alkanes, and indigenous microbial community structure and function in historically contaminated soil at petrol stations is critical. Five soil samples were collected from a petrol station in Beijing, China. The concentrations of 16 PAHs and 31 n-alkanes were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The total concentrations of PAHs and n-alkanes ranged from 973 ± 55 to 2667 ± 183 μg/kg and 6.40 ± 0.38 to 8.65 ± 0.59 mg/kg (dry weight), respectively, which increased with depth. According to the observed molecular indices, PAHs and n-alkanes originated mostly from petroleum-related sources. The levels of ΣPAHs and the total toxic benzo[a]pyrene equivalent (ranging from 6.41 to 72.54 μg/kg) might exert adverse biological effects. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was employed to investigate the indigenous microbial community structure and function. The results revealed that Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were the most abundant phyla, and Nocardioides and Microbacterium were the important genera. Based on COG and KEGG annotations, the highly abundant functional classes were identified, and these functions were involved in allowing microorganisms to adapt to the pressure from contaminants. Five petroleum hydrocarbon degradation-related genes were annotated, revealing the distribution of degrading microorganisms. This work facilitates the understanding of the composition, source, and potential ecological impacts of residual PAHs and n-alkanes in historically contaminated soil.

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of quantum-dot-sensitized one-dimensionally-ordered ZnO nanorod photocatalyst

An efficient photocatalyst was fabricated by assembling quantum dots （QDs） onto one-dimensionally-ordered ZnO nanorods, and the photocatalytic properties for Methyl Orange degradation were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence. The results indicate that the catalyst with assembled QDs is more favorable for the degradation than the pristine ZnO nanorods. The QDs with core-shell structure lower the photocatalytic ability due to the higher carder transport barrier of the ZnS shell layer. Besides its degradation efficiency, the photocatalyst has several advantages given that the one-dimensionally-ordered ZnO nanorods have been grown directly on indium tin oxide substrates. The article provides a new method to design an effective and easily recyclable photocatalyst.
