采用PVC顶盖埋管原位培育法研究了黄河口典型潮滩湿地土壤净氮矿化与净硝化作用的动态变化特征、影响因素及净氮矿化/硝化量.结果表明,高潮滩湿地(LW)、中潮滩湿地(JP1)和低潮滩湿地(JP2)0~15cm土壤无机氮含量具有明显的季节变化特征,NH4+-N含量表现为LW＞JP1＞JP2,NO3--N含量则表现为JP1＞LW＞JP2.3种湿地土壤净氮矿化/硝化速率均呈明显的波动变化.生长季的净氮矿化量分别为27.81、11.90和0.33kg/hm2,净硝化量分别为12.09、15.99和1.19kg/hm2,净硝化量占净氮矿化量的百分比分别为43.47%、100.00%和100.00%.相关分析表明,湿地土壤净氮矿化量与土壤水分含量呈显著负相关,而土壤净氮硝化量与土壤pH值呈显著负相关.3种潮滩湿地土壤在维持无机氮方面的能力整体表现为LW＞JP1＞JP2,说明从氮循环角度高潮滩湿地系统最为稳定,而低潮滩湿地系统的稳定性最差.     

富氧-缺氧过程对氧气分布及交换过程影响

为考察底层水体不同的氧动态对水土界面氧气交换过程影响,采用Unisence的微电极测试系统考察底层水体不同的复氧-缺氧环境(物理微曝空气供氧、添加过氧化剂的化学供氧及物理微曝氮气)中,沉积物-水界面氧气的分布及其传输机制,并评估不同富氧与厌氧过程对表层沉积物有机碳的矿化过程的影响.结果表明水体处极度厌氧状况,控制溶解氧分布和交换的水底扩散边界层(DBL)厚度明显变薄(一般在0.2~0.4mm)且溶解氧衰变相对较缓.但底层水体溶解氧丰富甚至处于过饱和状态, DBL层的厚度(一般在0.4~0.7mm)相对较厚且氧气变化迅速 (P<0.05).增加水体氧气供给的条件下,水体与沉积物间溶解氧交换过程加快,溶解氧交换通量由(4.87±0.92)增加至(5.31±0.66 )及(17.14±3.15 ) mmol O2/(m2·d)交换速率,最高提升252%,温度升高氧气交换速率可增加15%,温度效应明显.     

不同退耕还草方式下宁夏南部山区土壤氮素转化速率与微生物变化的耦合关系

为了明确不同退耕还草方式下土壤养分转化的机理及其影响因素,以宁夏南部山区(下称宁南山区)天然草地、人工草地和撂荒地土壤为研究对象,运用PVC顶盖埋管法对3种类型草地土壤中氮素的净转化速率、微生物区系和氮素微生物生理群进行了研究,探讨土壤氮素净转化速率与微生物的关系. 结果表明:①在培养过程中,3种草地类型土壤中细菌、放线菌和真菌数量平均值分别为9.6×105、3.8×104和4.0×101 CFU/g(以干土计),氮素微生物生理群数量表现为氨化细菌(4.5×104 CFU/g)>自生固氮菌(4.3×103 CFU/g)>硝化细菌(6.5×102 CFU/g)>反硝化细菌(3.9×102 CFU/g)>亚硝化细菌(1.7×102 CFU/g),其中,人工草地土壤中微生物数量最高;②细菌、真菌、反硝化细菌与亚硝化细菌数量的峰值均出现在培养第120天,放线菌和自生固氮菌数量的峰值均出现在第240天,硝化细菌数量的峰值出现在第60天,而氨化细菌数量在各类型草地土壤中出现峰值的时间不统一;③各类型草地土壤氮素的净矿化速率、净氨化速率、净硝化速率均在61~120 d内最低,净矿化速率与净硝化速率在181~240 d内最高,净氨化速率在241~360 d内最高,微生物固氮速率的峰值出现在121~180 d,最低值出现在241~360 d. 在该区土壤氮素转化速率与微生物数量紧密相关,土壤温度、土壤水分通过影响微生物数量而成为影响土壤氮素矿化的主要因素;土壤氮素的生物固持过程比有机氮矿化过程更为活跃;种植苜蓿的人工草地比天然草地和撂荒地更有利于微生物的繁殖与土壤氮素的矿化.      

近地面O_3含量升高条件下土壤中腐殖质单体儿茶酚转化的放射性~（14）C示踪研究

近地面大气臭氧（O3）含量不断升高对生态环境的影响已引起人们的广泛关注,然而O3含量升高对土壤有机碳的矿化及转化影响却少有研究。土壤有机碳是全球碳循环的重要组成部分,土壤碳库的微小变化将引起大气CO2浓度的显著改变。文章以典型土壤腐殖质单体化合物儿茶酚为代表,利用14C示踪技术,研究了O3含量比当前背景升高约0.15μmol·mol-1时对土壤中腐殖质苯酚类前体化合物的矿化及转化的影响。结果表明,O3含量升高会对土壤中培育12d后儿茶酚的矿化及残留物分布具有显著的影响,而且这种影响程度和规律同土壤有关。O3含量升高促进了黄棕壤中儿茶酚的矿化,增加了儿茶酚残留物在黄棕壤腐殖酸（HA）中的总量,并使残留物在HA中偏向于同大分子结合。O3含量升高对灰潮土中儿茶酚的矿化有抑制作用,但对儿茶酚残留在HA内总量及分布没有显著影响。O3含量升高对儿茶酚在土壤中的稳定性及归趋的影响可能是O3对于微生物活性的抑制作用和O3的直接氧化作用的共同结果。后续工作中应研究土壤腐殖质中其它组份的稳定性及转化对近地面大气O3含量升高的响应,以全面考察O3含量升高对土壤碳库的影响。

Quantification of centimeter-scale spatial variation in PAH, glucose and benzoic acid mineralization and soil organic matter in road-side soil

The aim of the study was to determine centimeter-scale spatial variation in mineralization potential in diffusely polluted soil. To this end we employed a 96-well microplate method to measure the mineralization of ¹⁴C-labeled organic compounds in deep-well microplates and thereby compile mineralization curves for 348 soil samples of 0.2-cm³. Centimeter-scale spatial variation in organic matter and the mineralization of glucose, benzoic acid, and PAHs (phenanthrene and pyrene) was determined for urban road-side soil sampled as arrays (7 × 11 cm) of 96 subsamples. The spatial variation in mineralization was visualized by means of 2-D contour maps and quantified by means of semivariograms. The geostatistical analysis showed that the easily degradable compounds (glucose and benzoic acid) exhibited little spatial variation in mineralization potential, whereas the mineralization was highly heterogeneous for the PAH compounds that require specialized degraders. The spatial heterogeneity should be taken into account when estimating natural attenuation rates.     

The degradation of anilazine and dihydroxy‐anilazine at various soil depths of an orthic luvisol

Abstract

In conformity with Guideline 4.1 of the Federal German Biological Agency, degradation experiments with the fungicide active ingredient [benzene ring‐U‐¹⁴C]anilazine and its major metabolite [triazine ring‐U‐¹⁴C]dihydroxy‐anilazine were carried out in an orthic luvisol. Mineralization of the benzene ring carbon of anilazine amounted to less than 2 % in 110 days and that of the triazine ring carbon of dihydroxy‐anilazine to less than 8 %. Increasing the incubation temperature from 22 °C to 30 °C and adding organic substance influenced the mineralization slightly. In soils which received two or three applications in succeeding years with subsequent ageing in the open‐air lysimeter no stimulation of the mineralization was observed. Extractions after incubation showed that only 10.2 to 18.6 % of the ¹⁴C‐activity applied with anilazine was extractable with acetone/CaCl₂. The major proportion was bound in the fractions of the soil organic matter, namely 45.0 to 59.6 % of the radiocarbon applied was accounted for by the humin fraction, 12.0 to 27.4 % by the fulvic acids, and 9.4 to 15.0 % by the humic acids. In the case of dihydroxy‐anilazine, 28.9 to 89.7 % of the applied ¹⁴C‐activity was extractable with acetone/CaCl₂. Of tJhe radiocarbon bound in the soil, the greatest proportion, i.e. 18.5 to 35.5 % of the radiocarbon applied, was accounted for by the fulvic acids.     

Carbofuran degradation in soil profiles

Abstract

Two soils, Puyallup fine sandy loam from Puyallup, WA, and Ellzey fine sand from Hastings, FL, each with a prior history of carbofiiran exposure but with different pedological and climatological characteristics, were found to exhibit enhanced degradation toward carbofiiran in surface and subsurface soil layers. The treated Puyallup and Ellzey soils exhibited higher mineralization rates for both the carbonyl and the aromatic ring of carbofiiran when compared to untreated soils. Disappearance rates of [¹⁴C‐URL (uniformly ring labeled)] carbofiiran in the treated Ellzey soil was faster than in untreated soil, and also faster in surface soil than in subsurface soil. Initial degradation patterns in the treated Ellzey soil were also different from those in the untreated soil. The treated Ellzey soil degraded carbofuran mainly through biological hydrolysis, while untreated soil degraded carbofuran through both oxidative and hydrolytic processes.     

Degradation of ethylenethiourea pesticide metabolite from water by photocatalytic processes

In this study, photocatalytic (photo-Fenton and H₂O₂/UV) and dark Fenton processes were used to remove ethylenethiourea (ETU) from water. The experiments were conducted in a photo-reactor with an 80 W mercury vapor lamp. The mineralization of ETU was determined by total organic carbon analysis, and ETU degradation was qualitatively monitored by the reduction of UV absorbance at 232 nm. A higher mineralization efficiency was obtained by using the photo-peroxidation process (UV/H₂O₂). Approximately 77% of ETU was mineralized within 120 min of the reaction using [H₂O₂]₀ = 400 mg L^?1. The photo-Fenton process mineralized 70% of the ETU with [H₂O₂]₀ = 800 mg L^?1 and [Fe²⁺] = 400 mg L^?1, and there is evidence that hydrogen peroxide was the limiting reagent in the reaction because it was rapidly consumed. Moreover, increasing the concentration of H₂O₂ from 800 mg L^?1 to 1200 mg L^?1 did not enhance the degradation of ETU. Kinetics studies revealed that the pseudo-second-order model best fit the experimental conditions. The k values for the UV/H₂O₂ and photo-Fenton processes were determined to be 6.2 × 10^?4 mg L^?1 min^?1 and 7.7 × 10^?4 mg L^?1 min^?1, respectively. The mineralization of ETU in the absence of hydrogen peroxide has led to the conclusion that ETU transformation products are susceptible to photolysis by UV light. These are promising results for further research. The processes that were investigated can be used to remove pesticide metabolites from drinking water sources and wastewater in developing countries.
