Spatial variability of organochlorine pesticides （DDTs and HCHs） in surface soils from the alluvial region of Beijing, China

The spatial variability in the concentrations of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT) in surface soils was studied on the basis of the analysis of 131 soil samples collected from the surface layer (0-20 cm depth) of the alluvial region of Beijing, China. The concentrations of total HCHs (including α-, β-, γ-, and δ-isomers) and total DDTs (i ncluding p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD, p,p'-DDE, and o,p'-DDT) in the surface soils tested were in the range from nondetectable to 31.72 μg/kg dry soil, with a mean value of 0.91, and from nondetectable to 5910.83 μg/kg dry soil, with a mean value of 32.13,respectively. It was observed that concentrations of HCHs in all soil samples and concentrations of DDTs in 112 soil samples were much lower than the first grade (50 μg/kg) permitted in "Environment quality standard for soils in China (GB15618-1995)". This suggests that the pollution due to organochlorine pesticides was generally not significant in the farmland soils in the Beijing alluvial region. In this study, the spatial distribution and trend of HCHs and DDTs were analyzed using Geostatistical Analyst and GS (513).Spatial distribution indicated how these pesticides had been applied in the past. Trend analysis showed that the concentrations of HCHs,DDTs, and their related metabolites followed an obvious distribution trend in the surface soils from the alluvial region of Beijing.     

泉州市不同功能区土壤铅同位素组成及其来源分析

为查明泉州市土壤铅的污染来源,采集了泉州市不同功能区表层(O～20cm)土壤及城市环境污染端元(燃煤尘、汽车尾气尘、污泥)样品.采用ICP-MS测定土壤Pb含量,用热电质谱仪测定各样品的铅同位素组成.分析结果表明,泉州市不同功能区表层土壤已受到一定程度铅污染;泉州市土壤铅同位素208 Pb/(207+206)Pb和206Pb/207 Pb比值变化较大,分别为1.0769～ 1.1486和1.1150～1.2142;泉州市区各端元组分铅同位素组成差别比较大,可以有效示踪和鉴别泉州市区环境铅的污染来源.运用铅同位素示踪技术追踪土壤铅的污染来源结果表明,泉州市区土壤总铅同位素和可溶相铅同位素组成变化较大,土壤中铅来源较为复杂.交通繁忙区土壤铅污染主要来源于汽车尾气排放,农业区土壤铅主要来源于城市污泥与当地土壤背景,商业区土壤铅主要来源于城市污泥与燃煤尘及其煤渣的排放,居民区土壤铅污染主要受城市污泥与汽车尾气排放影响.     

安徽庐江潜在富硒土壤硒生物有效性及其影响因素

为研究潜在富硒土壤硒生物有效性,采集安徽庐江潜在富硒地区64组水稻及对应根系土壤样品,分析土壤理化性质、土壤养分、全硒、不同形态硒及大米硒含量,采用线性回归法探究土壤硒生物有效性的影响因素.结果表明,大米硒含量（记作Se_rice,下同）为0.037~0.120 mg/kg,土壤全硒含量（记作Se_tot,下同）为0.260~1.177 mg/kg,土壤硒以腐殖酸态硒（15.5%~44.7%）、强有机态硒（12.5%~53.3%）和残渣态硒（8.1%~68.5%）为主.土壤有效硫、有效磷通过提高强有机态、腐殖酸态和浸提性硒含量并促进水稻籽实（大米）对硒的吸收,而土壤阳离子交换量（cation exchange capacity,CEC）、速效钾、全铁和全锰通过降低水稻生物可利用态硒含量（包括水溶态、腐殖酸态、强有机态和浸提性硒）抑制水稻籽实（大米）对硒的吸收.Se_tot与Se_rice显著正相关（R=0.616,P < 0.01）,非残渣态硒含量与有机质含量之比（记作NRE-Se/OM）与Se_rice相关性最强（R=0.774,P < 0.01）.土壤NRE-Se/OM、有效硫、有效铁、全锰构建的多元逐步线性对数回归模型可解释水稻籽实（大米）吸收硒的76.0%的方差.因此引入变量NRE-Se/OM,并结合土壤有效硫、有效铁和全锰能有效评价和预测研究区土壤硒生物有效性.      

Adsorption characteristic of bensulfuron-methyl at variable added Pb^2＋ concentrations on paddy soils

The combined pollution of heavy metal Pb²⁺ and bensulfuron-methyl (BSM), originating from chemical herbicides, in agroecological environments has become commonplace in southern China. The adsorption of BSM on three paddy soils in the presence of Pb²⁺ was examined using high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). Results indicated that adsorption of BSM could accurately be described by a Freundlich isotherm equation with correlation constant (R) > 0.98, irrespective of the presence of spiked Pb²⁺. Of the various factors influencing BSM sorption, soil pH appeared to be the most influential. The constant K_f of Freundlich isotherm equation tended to increase with increasing Pb²⁺ concentration in soil which indicated that the spiked of Pb²⁺ in paddy soils would promote the sorption of BSM. ΔG^θ of BSM in three paddy soils was less than 40 kJ/mol in all treatments, indicating the adsorption of BSM is mainly physical in nature. The elution of soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) enhanced the adsorption of BSM in paddy soils. The mechanisms involved in the promotion effects of the spiked Pb²⁺ on BSM adsorption might be the modified surface characteristics of paddy soil solids due to the soil acidification and the increase of soil organic matter concentration because of DOM binding.     

Effects of the new nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) on nitrate and potassium leaching in two soils

In this study, soil column was used to study the new nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) on nitrate (NO3--N) and potassium (K) leaching in the sandy loam soil and clay loam soil. The results showed that DMPP with ammonium sulphate nitrate (ASN) ((NH4)2SO4 and NH4NO3) or urea could reduce NO3--N leaching significantly, whereas ammonium (NH4 -N) leaching increased slightly. In case of total N (NO3--N NH4 -N), losses by leaching during the experimental period (40 d) were 37.93 mg (urea), 31.61 mg (urea DMPP), 108.10 mg (ASN), 60.70 mg (ASN DMPP) in the sandy loam soil, and 30.54 mg (urea), 21.05 mg (urea DMPP), 37.86 mg (ASN), 31. 09 mg (ASN DMPP) in the clay loam soil, respectively. DMPP-amended soil led to the maintenance of relatively high levels of NH4 -N and low levels of NO3--N in soil, and nitrification was slower. DMPP supplementation also resulted in potassium leached less, but the difference was not significant except the treatment ASN and ASN DMPP in the sandy loam soil. Above results indicate that DMPP is a good nitrification inhibitor, the efficiency of DMPP seems better in the sandy loam soil than in the clay loam soil and lasts longer.

Biodiversity of plants and soils in landscapes adjacent to the Buzuluk Pine Forest

The influence of the Buzuluk Pine Forest on biodiversity of plants and soil properties in adjacent territories has been studied. The results show that in the immediate vicinity of the pine forest, under the influence of the relatively mild and humid mesoclimate, natural phytocenoses are dominated by mesophytic species. Biodiversity reaches a peak at a distance of 17–18 km from the forest, which is explained by the presence of both mesophytes and xerophytes in the same phytocenosis. The same zone is also characterized by the maximum diversity of soil properties and structural complexity of the soil cover. Grass communities on ordinary chernozems with a homogeneous soil cover, typical of the steppe zone, are formed at greater distances from the forest.     

Behaviour of Chemical Elements in Plants and Soils

Neutron activation analysis was used for the determination of the elemental composition of different plants and soils. Variations in concentrations of elements during the day were found. Mean concentrations, standard deviations and relationships between elements in soils and different parts of plants were studied. It was shown that the behaviour of chemical elements in samples from urban and unpolluted areas have significant differences.
