Topsoil organic carbon mineralization and CO2 evolution of three paddy soils from South China and the temperature dependence

Carbon mineralization and its response to climatic warming have been receiving global attention for the last decade. Although the virtual influence of temperature effect is still in great debate, little is known on the mineralization of organic carbon （SOC） of paddy soils of China under warming. SOC mineralization of three major types of China＇s paddy soils is studied through laboratory incubation for 114 d under soil moisture regime of 70% water holding capacity at 20℃ and 25℃ respectively. The carbon that mineralized as CO2 evolved was measured every day in the first 32 d and every two days in the following days. Carbon mineralized during the 114 d incubation ranged from 3.51 to 9.22 mg CO2-C/gC at 20℃ and from 4.24 to 11.35 mg CO2-C/gC at 25℃ respectively; and a mineralizable C pool in the range of 0.24 to 0.59 gC/kg, varying with different soils. The whole course of C mineralization in the 114 d incubation could be divided into three stages of varying rates, representing the three subpools of the total mineralizable C： very actively mineralized C at 1-23 d, actively tnineralized C at 24--74 d and a slowly mineralized pool with low and more or less stabilized C mineralization rate at 75-114 d. The calculated Q10 values ranged from 1.0 to 2.4, varying with the soil types and N status. Neither the total SOC pool nor the labile C pool could account for the total mineralization potential of the soils studied, despite a well correlation of labile C with the shortly and actively mineralized C, which were shown in sensitive response to soil warming. However, the portion of microbial C pool and the soil C/N ratio controlled the C mineralization and the temperature dependence. Therefore, C sequestration may not result in an increase of C mineralization proportionally. The relative control of C bioavailability and microbial metabolic activity on C mineralization with respect to stabilization of sequestered C in the paddy soils of China is to be further studied.     

金属浓度,半透膜孔径,水温及配位体对半透膜囊吸收铜的影响

在实验室条件下，研究了影响树脂－半透膜囊吸收铜的主要因素，重点探讨了水相铜含量，半透膜孔径，温度以及天然河水中的有机配位体对吸收的影响。结果表明，半透膜囊吸收量与水相游离铜浓度，水温及半透膜孔径的非整数次幂成正比，其中包括ＥＤＴＡ，河水富里酸，以及河水中的各种天然有机物在内的配位体均与铜生成不能被半透膜囊吸收的络合物，研究结果进一步证实了半透膜囊对水环境中游离态微量金属进行长期监测的可行性。     

湖水中磷形态的生物有效性

本文采用化学分析将湖水中的磷划分为七种形态：总磷（ＴＰ）、总反应磷（ＴＲＰ）。总溶解磷（ＴＳＰ）、溶解反应磷（ＳＲＰ）、溶解的水解性磷（ＳＨＰ）、溶解的光解性磷（ＵＶＳＲＰ）以及颗粒磷（ＰＰ）。为了确定生物有效磷，把湖水灭菌后再接入羊角月芽藻进行试验，研究了湖水中各种磷形态对羊角月芽藻最大生长量的影响。结果表明：当湖水中磷含量大于１００μｇ／ｌ时，藻的最大生长量与大多数磷形态有较好的相关性（ｎ＝１     

土壤中不同老化时间的DDT对小麦根系的生物有效性

研究了水、正己烷、正己烷/丙酮ASE对土壤中不同老化时间的DDT的逐级提取量的差别及其与小麦根吸收的关系。结果表明,有机氯的水提量随老化时间增加而下降,正己烷提取量随老化时间增加而下降,正己烷/丙酮提取量随老化时间增加而上升。植物根吸收随老化时间增加而下降。根吸收与水提量没有确定关系,与正己烷提取量具正相关关系,与正己烷/丙酮提取量有负相关关系。正己烷提取量可被作为土壤有机氯DDT的有效态部分。     

Tissue distribution of inorganic mercury, methylmercury and cadmium in the Asiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea) in relation to the contamination levels of the water column and sediment

The comparative experimental study of inorganic mercury (HgII), methylmercury (MeHg) and cadmium (Cd) bioaccumulation in the Asiatic clam Corbicula fluminea was based on a 14 days' exposure to the water column or sediment compartments, as initial contamination sources. For each contaminant and exposure source, a five-point concentration range was set up in order to quantify the relationships between the contamination pressure and bioaccumulation capacity, at the whole soft body level and in five organs: gills, mantle, visceral mass, kidney and foot. Hg and Cd bioaccumulation at the whole organism level was proportional to the metal concentrations in the water column or sediment. For similar exposure conditions, the average ratios between the metal concentrations in the bivalves - [MeHg]/[HgII] and [MeHg]/[Cd] - were close to 10 and 5 for the sediment source and 8 and 15 for the water column source. Metal distribution in the five organs revealed strong specificities, according to the different contamination modalities studied: kidney and gills were clearly associated with Cd exposure, mantle and foot with MeHg exposure and the visceral mass with inorganic Hg exposure.     

Arsenic tissue concentration of immature mice one hour after oral exposure to gold mine tailings

A potentially high bioavailability of arsenic in gold mine tailings from a site in northern California has been suggested by solubility studies. To help address this issue, an in vivo dosing study was conducted using 12dayold Swiss Webster mouse pups (n=8/group). A sample of sizefractionated mine tailings from the site (<20m particle size, 691g g^–1 arsenic) was prepared as an aqueous suspension and administered by gavage in a volume that provided 4mg As/kg body weight. The control group received the same volume of a commercial soil (1g g^–1 As) of similar particle size (<60m). No mortality or toxic signs were noted in either group. Tissue samples were collected 1h after gavage, freezedried, microwavedigested and analysed for arsenic by ICP/MS (detection limit 2ng As g^–1 dry weight). Arsenic concentrations (ng As g^–1 dry weight) in tissues from the pups who received mine tailings were significantly higher than in control tissues. The mean elevation in arsenic concentration was highest in the liver (3364% of control, p<0.0001), followed by blood (818 of control, p<0.0001), skin (207% of control, p=0.07), and brain (143% of control, p<0.0001). The carcass arsenic concentration (excluding the GI tract, liver, brain and skin) was 138 of control (p=0.02). The data indicate uptake of arsenic from weathered mine tailings by the immature mouse pups after oral exposure.     

Transformation of lead compounds in the soil-plant system under the influence of Bacillus and Azotobacter rhizobacteria

ABSTRACT

The study was aimed at the migration and transformation of lead compounds in the rhizosphere, its accumulation in plants under the influence of the rhizosphere bacteria. For experiment, soil samples of the technogenous ecosystem contaminated differently by lead have been selected for plant growing. The samples were subdivided into control soil and the soil, inoculated by Azotobacter and Bacillus rhizobacteria. Lead concentrations have been analysed in easily exchangeable, carbonate, organic and Fe hydroxide-associated fractions as well in chelate forms and fulvic and humic acids. In soils, inoculated by rhizobacteria, there is an increased mobilisation of lead due to its decrease in humic acids and increase in fulvic acids. On technogenic soil, rhizobacteria initiate the immobilisation of Fe-hydroxide-bound, chelate-bound lead in the rhizosphere as well as lead occurring in roots. As a results, there is a decreased lead uptake by upper parts of plants. There is also a correlation between increasing soil alkalinity and increasing Pb accumulation in the roots of plants. The results of the experiment helped to understand more about the mechanisms of Pb compound behaviour under the influence of rhizobacteria that can be used for developing biotechnologies related to soil bioremediation and crop production.

东营市北部海域文蛤重金属污染特征与食用风险评价

2016年10月在东营市北部海域采集文蛤,测定其体内7种重金属含量,分析其污染特征,从而探究文蛤（Meretrix meretrix）对沉积物中重金属的生物富集能力及其影响因素,并采用单因子污染指数（P_i）和总目标危险系数（THQ_s）评价文蛤食用风险.结果表明,该海域文蛤体内Hg、As、Pb、Cd、Cr、Cu和Zn含量分别为0.009~0.019,0.51~0.80,0.25~0.76,0.45~0.76,0.43~2.46,1.83~3.78,14.33~17.75mg/kg.与国内外其它区域文蛤体内重金属含量对比发现,该海域文蛤体内重金属含量处于中等水平.基于综合污染指数（MPI）,S5站位文蛤受重金属污染最严重.文蛤对Cd的富集能力最强（生物-沉积物积累因子（BSAF）平均为455.13%）.7种重金属中,只有Pb的生物蓄积与其在沉积物中的含量呈显著正相关,而Hg、Cu的蓄积分别与沉积物中细颗粒物（粒径< 63 μm,FGS）、有机质（OM）含量呈显著正相关和负相关.通过分析各站位的THQ_s值可知,长期食用该海域文蛤对人体有害,且食用风险主要来源于As.因此,为降低食用该海域文蛤给消费者带来的健康风险,必须采取有效措施控制重金属（特别是As）在海产品中的积累.
