Enhancing soil aggregation and acetamiprid adsorption by ecofriendly polysaccharides hydrogel based on Ca2+- amphiphilic sodium alginate

Soil aggregation plays an important role in agricultural production activities. However, the structure of soil aggregation is destroyed by the natural environment and unreasonable farming management, resulting in the loss of water, fertilizers and pesticides in soil. At present, hydrogels have been widely reported to promote the formation of soil aggregation. In this paper, amphiphilic calcium alginate (ASA/Ca²⁺) was applied to promote the formation of soil aggregation and enhance pesticide retention. Initially, an ASA was obtained through the one-pot Ugi condensation (a four-component green chemical reaction). Then, ASA/Ca²⁺ hydrogel is prepared by Ca²⁺ cross-linking. The formation of soil aggregation was determined through the Turbiscan Lab Expert stability analyzer, Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). And the effect of soil aggregation on acetamiprid environmental behavior was investigated by adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and leaching. The results shown that the three-dimensional network structure of ASA/Ca²⁺ hydrogel can promote the formation of soil aggregation. Aggregate durability index (ADI) was 0.55 in the presence of ASA/Ca²⁺ hydrogel, indicating that amphiphilic hydrogel can enhance the stability of soil aggregation. The adsorbing capacity of acetamiprid was 1.58 times higher than pure soil, and the release of acetamiprid only about 20% in the presence of ASA/Ca²⁺ hydrogel. These results would be helpful for the formation of soil aggregation and pesticides adsorption on soil aggregation. Thus, ASA/Ca²⁺ hydrogel is likely to improve soil quality, simultaneously it can minimize the mobility of pesticides in the agricultural system.

溴代阻燃剂在土壤中的迁移转化研究进展

BFRs（溴代阻燃剂）是一种重要的持久性有机污染物,各种传统和新型的BFRs（PBDEs、TBBPA、DBDPE、BTBPE等）在全球环境中被广泛检出,其持久性、生物蓄积性以及对环境和人类健康的潜在毒性引起了人们的极大关注.在归纳和总结国内外关于BFRs在土壤中的迁移转化行为规律研究动态的基础上,重点讨论了吸附/解吸、光降解的机理和影响因素以及厌氧、好氧微生物降解和植物代谢的特点和降解途径.结果表明:吸附/解吸是BFRs在土壤中迁移转化的关键过程,土壤有机质含量和pH是影响其在土壤中迁移的主要影响因素.光解、微生物降解是BFRs在土壤中的主要转化途径,光解是表层土壤中BFRs的主要转化过程,逐步脱溴产生低溴化产物,溴化程度、土壤有机质和矿物质会直接影响其光解速率;厌氧脱溴和好氧微生物降解是BFRs在深层土壤中的主要降解过程,溴化程度与微生物降解密切相关.土壤中BFRs被植物吸收的过程中可能被代谢为低溴化产物,在食物链中积累,危害人体健康.尽管多年来在BFRs方面的研究取得了进展,但对这类污染物的环境行为和归趋的全面了解仍然很难,随着越来越多的新型BFRs被作为传统BFRs的替代品推向市场,建议对这些新兴替代化学品在土壤介质中的迁移转化过程,特别是生物降解进行更多的调查.

Migration drivers in mountain regions in the context of climate change:A case study in Shangnan County of China

Climate change has become widely accepted as a challenge that humans will face in the not-too-distant future.Mountain ecosystems and their inhabitants are among the most vulnerable to climate change.This paper seeks to explain migration drivers in specific mountain regions in the context of climate change based on Foresight’s conceptual framework.A climate change sensitive field named Shangnan County in southern Shaanxi Province is chosen as the case study area to investigate local migration drivers.A series of qualitative research methods is employed in the case study including participant observation,semi-structured interviews,and focus group discussions.The evidence of survey suggests that migration decisions are not only shaped by macro factors in aspects of environmental,economics,demographic,social,politics and psychological,but also influenced by placed-related barriers and facilitating mechanisms and personal characteristics.     

Can Labor Out-Migration Reduce Firewood Consumption by Rural Households in Western Mountainous China

Abstract

The relationship between out-migration of labor in the Qinling mountain area and households’ firewood consumption is explored. Migration and remittances reduce households’ firewood consumption due to increases in both income and opportunity cost of firewood collection. Previous studies have been equivocal because they ignored uncertainty in household economy, which is widespread in forest areas of less developed countries. This study provides additional insight by considering vulnerability and subjective assessment of poverty generated by unstable income and an uncertain future. We provide evidence that the amount of firewood consumed depends on income and opportunity cost of firewood collection, but also on a prudent consumption strategy, due to farmers’ subjective assessment of their future possible poverty. We also find out-migration of labor can reduce per capita firewood consumption but subjective poverty also acts against reduction of firewood consumption.     

厦门某旱地土壤垂直剖面中重金属迁移规律及来源解析

采用ICP-MS和TIMS分析测定厦门市农业区某旱地土壤垂直剖面中8种重金属元素(V、Cr、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Sr和Pb)含量及铅锶同位素组成,重点分析土壤剖面金属的纵向分层和淋失迁移特征.结果表明,除Sr外,其余重金属在大部分剖面深度中均未超过背景值,表明受外来源的影响较小. Sr在整个剖面的迁移系数均大于0,表明存在不同程度的富集; Zn和Co在近地表处富集; Cr、Ni和Cu在整个剖面中以亏损为主; V和Pb受外来活动的干扰小.淋洗迁移特征分析表明,Sr和Pb淋洗下移较活跃,其下移深度较大,但Pb下移深度低于Sr下移深度.因子分析表明,重金属主要为自然因子的输入,其次为农业活动和交通运输等复杂人为活动的输入.富集因子分析表明,Sr受外源不同程度影响.铅锶同位素组成分析表明,垂直剖面土壤中Pb主要来源于母质层,而Sr除来源于母质层外,还受到复杂人为源的影响,并已有向底层(30～70 cm)迁移的趋势.     

抗生素在环境中的迁移转化及生物效应研究进展

抗生素被长期大量地使用于人和动物的疾病治疗,同时作为饲料添加剂长期使用于畜牧业及水产养殖业。然而,大部分抗生素不能完全被机体吸收,大量的抗生素以原形或代谢物形式经由病人和禽畜粪尿排入环境,经不同途径进入土壤和水体,从而造成环境污染。多项研究显示在城镇废水和地表水中检测到了抗生素的存在,但关于抗生素在环境中的迁移转化及生物效应等研究资料很少。环境中的抗生素会对微生物、水生生物、土壤生物和植物等产生危害,并产生大量耐药菌,影响禽畜等的正常生长,进而对人类健康及整个生态系统构成威胁。为评估抗生素在环境中潜在的危害,本文就抗生素在环境中的迁移转化以及生物效应等多方面进行综述,并提出了今后研究的方向。
