Remediation effect of compost on soluble mercury transfer in a crop of Phaseolus vulgaris

We studied the dynamics of mercury (Hg) transfer in Phaseolus vulgaris plants grown in soil with Hg-doped compost at the maximum levels permitted by Colombian law on organic amendments. Quantitative evaluation of transfer was made in different plant organs: roots, stem, leaves, pods and seeds. Matrix effect was determined in doped soil assays, using soil with and without addition of compost. Results showed that the use of organic matter reduced Hg transfer to the plant and the amount transferred was differentially distributed to the organs. We observed an inverse relationship between concentration and distance from the body to the root. It was evident that transfer was mediated by quantitative factors; the greater the presence of mercury in soil, the larger the amount that will be transferred. Results also indicate the remedial effect of compost and the presence of a barrier, at the root level, against mercury translocation to the plant aerial parts.     

Evaluation of biostimulation and Tween 80 addition for the bioremediation of long-term DDT-contaminated soil

The bioremediation of a long-term contaminated soil through biostimulation and surfactant addition was evaluated. The concentrations of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane(DDT) and its metabolites 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethane(DDD) and1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethylene(DDE) were monitored during an 8-week remediation process. Physicochemical characterization of the treated soil was performed before and after the bioremediation process. The isolation and identification of predominant microorganisms during the remediation process were also carried out. The efficiency of detoxification was evaluated after each bioremediation protocol. Humidity and p H and the heterotrophic microorganism count were monitored weekly. The DDT concentration was reduced by 79% after 8 weeks via biostimulation with surfactant addition(B + S) and 94.3%via biostimulation alone(B). Likewise, the concentrations of the metabolites DDE and DDD were reduced to levels below the quantification limits. The microorganisms isolated during bioremediation were identified as Bacillus thuringiensis, Flavobacterium sp., Cuprivadius sp.,Variovorax soli, Phenylobacterium sp. and Lysobacter sp., among others. Analysis with scanning electron microscopy(SEM) allowed visualization of the colonization patterns of soil particles. The toxicity of the soil before and after bioremediation was evaluated using Vibrio fischeri as a bioluminescent sensor. A decrease in the toxic potential of the soil was verified by the increase of the concentration/effect relationship EC50 to 26.9% and 27.2% for B + S and B, respectively, compared to 0.4% obtained for the soil before treatment and 2.5%by natural attenuation after 8 weeks of treatment.

15年实测氮沉降下竹仙洞小流域土壤酸化研究

以2000—2015年珠海竹仙洞水库小流域湿地松林、台湾相思林和灌木丛为样本,对其土壤属性指标进行相关性分析和主成分分析。结果表明,经过15年自然演替,3个群落的土壤可交换酸度呈下降趋势,其中台湾相思林和灌木丛酸度降低达到显著或极显著水平,受Al³⁺含量影响较大;3个群落的可交换Mg²⁺、K⁺、Na⁺在两种土层均有不同程度的显著下降,而可交换Ca²⁺的变化仅在台湾相思林中显著;总氮、总碳含量均呈上升趋势。主成分分析显示,台湾相思林的生物量丰富、土壤腐殖质多,固氮作用强,故对氮沉降的酸缓冲能力更强。     

土壤氮素的转化过程中温室效应气体的释放和吸收

一氧化二氮(NO₂)是一个重要的温室效应气体,一氧化氮(NO)对温室效应的产生也有间接的作用。土壤作为这两种气体的主要来源的重要性引起了人们的广泛重视。本文主要讨论了土壤中的氮素生物转化过程与NO₂和NO的产生和再利用。以及影响土壤中温室效应气体的释放和吸收的环境条件。      

酸性土壤抗铝处理对土壤特性及马尾松幼苗生长的影响

为控制土壤酸化对马尾松林的危害,本文通过马尾松幼苗盆栽的试验方法研究了3种土壤处理剂(石灰、泥炭和磷酸盐)对重庆南山酸性土壤的特性及马尾松幼苗生长的影响。结果表明,石灰、泥炭和磷酸盐的单独和复合处理均能明显地提高土壤pH值,降低土壤活性铝含量,增加土壤活性钙和有效磷的水平,土壤处理还明显有利于马尾松幼苗的生长。3种处理剂中以石灰的改良效果最佳。5种处理组合中以石灰－泥炭－磷酸盐结合处理的作用最强。
