不同热解温度的生物炭在土壤中的矿化作用研究

为探究不同热解温度的生物炭不同组分(易降解和相对难降解碳)对其在土壤中矿化作用的影响及机理,将生物质甘蔗渣和在300、500、800℃下热解生成的生物炭(分别表示为BC300、BC500、BC800)通过水洗法剥离出碳骨架部分,然后加入含有定量土壤菌悬液的石英砂中,设置了50 d的控温培养实验并测定培养过程中不同处理样品的矿化速率.结果表明,随着热解温度从300℃升高至800℃,生物炭的易降解碳含量降低,平均停留时间从2 d增加到38 d,相对难降解碳平均停留时间从14年增加到700多年.环境温度为25℃时,碳骨架中由于缺少微生物可利用的溶解性有机碳,所以在土壤中稳定性强.环境温度升高至35℃时,温度升高提高了微生物活性,增加了碳骨架的微生物可利用部分.800℃热解生成的生物炭(BC800)及其碳骨架(W800)的累积矿化量比空白低,且即使温度升高,W800的相对难降解碳含量仍然保持最高,表明高温生物炭具有更好的固碳效果.

Mineral and essential element measurements in dolphin bones using two analytical approaches

We explored the potential of using energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), a non-destructive technique, to assess elemental contents in dolphin bones. Specimens were deposited in museum collections, and prepared by different methodologies. Fifty eight Commerson’s dolphins (Cephalorhynchus c. commersonii) chevron bones and 24 Franciscana dolphins (Pontoporia blainvillei) were analysed. The EDX allowed us to detect the following elements: Ca, P, Na, Mg, Fe, K, Zn, S, Cl and Al; and quantify their proportion (weight percent of element). Principal components analysis differentiates two groups according to the cleaning procedures applied, supporting that cleaning methods could influence the chemical integrity of bone. No significant age-dependent increase was found for elements analysed in species, and no significant differences were found between sex and physical maturity stages. Alternative assessment was made through atomic absorption spectrophotometry, providing quantitative information on the principal elements in bones (Ca, P, Mg, Na, Fe and Zn) and allowing comparisons with other studies. A standard protocol for bone cleaning and conditioning is needed to exclude any effect on the mineral integrity of calcified tissue. This would enable future comparative studies on the bone mineral matrix over time housed in natural history museums or other scientific collections.
