川西亚高山森林凋落物去除对土壤腐殖质动态的影响

森林凋落物作为森林土壤腐殖质的主要来源, 在土壤腐殖质的形成中发挥着重要作用, 但不同森林类型凋落物因其含量、组成等的不同, 对土壤腐殖质的影响也不同。该研究以川西亚高山针叶林、阔叶林和针阔混交林3种不同森林类型为对象, 采用凋落物原位控制实验, 对比研究不同关键期凋落物去除对土壤可提取腐殖质、胡敏酸和富里酸含量及胡敏酸/富里酸、胡敏酸/可提取腐殖质的影响。主要结果: (1)土壤可提取腐殖质、胡敏酸和富里酸含量在不同森林类型中差异显著。土壤可提取腐殖质含量总体表现为针叶林>针阔混交林>阔叶林, 胡敏酸含量总体表现为针阔混交林>针叶林>阔叶林, 而富里酸含量则表现为针叶林>阔叶林>针阔混交林, 其中3种林型中土壤腐殖质的主要成分为富里酸, 总体均表现为富里酸型。不同采样时期也显著影响了土壤可提取腐殖质、胡敏酸和富里酸含量, 总体均表现为先升高后下降的趋势。除个别采样时期外, 凋落物去除总体降低了土壤可提取腐殖质、胡敏酸和富里酸的含量。(2)胡敏酸/富里酸和胡敏酸/可提取腐殖质的结果显示3种林型土壤总体腐殖化程度均较低, 整体表现为针阔混交林>阔叶林>针叶林, 凋落物去除在一定程度上有利于提高阔叶林与针阔混交林的腐殖质品质。(3)相关分析表明不同凋落物处理间土壤可提取腐殖质与土壤有机碳含量、全氮含量和土壤含水量呈显著正相关关系, 与温度呈显著负相关关系。综上所述, 短期的凋落物去除会降低土壤腐殖物质的含量, 但不同林型间由于凋落物类型差异会导致土壤腐殖质的不同变化, 说明土壤腐殖质的动态变化受凋落物类型以及环境因素的综合调控。因此, 关于凋落物变化对土壤腐殖质的影响还需进一步的长期研究。     

冻融环境下亚高山森林凋落叶添加对土壤腐殖质动态的影响

亚高山森林土壤形成过程中,胡敏酸、富里酸等腐殖物质的累积是维持土壤肥力及物质循环的重要途径,它受到土壤基质质量、凋落叶和环境因素的调控.本研究以川西亚高山典型的针叶林、针阔混交林和阔叶林土壤为对象,采用室内培养控制冻融环境和凋落叶添加的方法,研究冻融环境下凋落叶添加对土壤腐殖物质累积的影响.结果表明:冻融循环环境下针叶林土壤腐殖质含量升高,而针阔混交林和阔叶林土壤腐殖质含量降低,且凋落叶对土壤腐殖质含量无显著影响.培养前期冻融环境下3种林型土壤胡敏酸净累积,净累积量大小为针阔混交林>针叶林>阔叶林,富里酸含量下降,下降程度为阔叶林>针阔混交林>针叶林,且凋落叶对土壤胡敏酸和富里酸含量无显著影响.随培养时间的延长,3种林型土壤胡敏酸及富里酸含量均下降.这表明,凋落叶对土壤腐殖质含量的影响与土壤基质质量存在密切关系,且受到冬季土壤冻融时间长短的影响.     

The influence of topography on the nature of humic substances in soil organic matter at a site in the Atlantic Coastal Plain of South Carolina

The effect of topography on the nature of humic substances, isolated as water soluble organic carbon (WSOC), fulvic acid (FA), and humic acid (HA) was evaluated by comparing relative proportion and chemical characteristics of these fractions in upland and bottomland Coastal Plain soils in South Carolina. The fractions were characterized by elemental analysis and¹³C cross-polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CPMAS NMR) spectroscopy. The majority of humic substances occur as humic acids, with bottomland soils having higher HA/FA ratios when compared to upland soils. We found no significant differences between upland and bottomland humic substances with respect to yields of WSOC and fulvic acids, and in the C and N content of humic and fulvic acids. Carbon-13 CPMAS NMR spectroscopy revealed that the WSOC and fulvic acid fractions were composed largely of O-alkyl-C structures with bottomland soils having higher amounts of these groups. Humic acid C distribution was similar between upland and bottomland soils and was largely composed of aromatic groups. Our results demonstrate that topography influences the formation of humic acid and the structural and chemical properties of the various humic fractions.requests for offprints     

Interactions of Cu (II) and Fe (III) with mangal humic substances studied by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and potentiometric titration

Humic (HA) and fulvic (FA) acids isolated from mangrove sediments of Sundarban, the largest delta on earth in the estuarine phase of the river Ganges, were studied and attempts were made to characterize their binding sites by quenching of Synchronous fluorescence (SyF) bands with Fe (III) and Cu (II). A modified Stern-Volmer relationship applicable for static quenching was applied for the determination of conditional stability constants and the data were compared with those determined by potentiometric titration. In the excited state HA and FA showed different acidity constant compared to the ground state. Values of the conditional stability constant (log K_c) for Fe (III) and Cu (II) indicated that binding sites were bidentate in nature. FA were better chelators than the HA fractions. High energy binding sites of both FA & HA were occupied by Fe(III) and the low energy binding sites, mainly responsible for mobilization and immobilization of metal, were occupied by Cu(II).     

The influence of humic substances on the aerobic decomposition of submerged leaf litter

Leaf material was incubated in flasks containing streamwater in which the pH and the concentration of isolated fulvic acid were varied independently of one another. Decomposition of the leaf material was slower at pH 4 than at pH 5 or 7, but the concentration of fulvic acid had no effect when the pH was held constant. At pH 5, 20 mg Cl^–1 humic acid also had no effect on decomposition. High concentrations of dissolved fulvic acids may contribute to the slow decomposition of plant litter characteristic of many wetlands through their contribution to hydrogen ion activity, but we could find no evidence for other properties of fulvic acid which inhibit leaf litter decomposition.     

Molecular characterization of Cladium peat from the Florida Everglades: biomarker associations with humic fractions

The accumulation and preservation of peat soils in Everglades freshwater marshes and mangrove swamps is an essential process in the ecological functioning of these ecosystems. Human intervention and climate change have modified nutrient dynamics and hydroperiod in the Everglades and peat loss due to such anthropogenic activities is evident. However, not much is known on the molecular level regarding the biogeochemical characteristics, which allow peat to be preserved in the Everglades. Lipid biomarkers trapped within or bound to humic-type structures can provide important geochemical information regarding the origin and microbial transformation of OM in peat. Four lipid fractions obtained from a Cladium peat, namely the freely extractable fraction and those associated with humin, humic acid, and fulvic acid fractions, showed clear differences in their molecular distribution suggesting different OM sources and structural and diagenetic states of the source material. Both, higher plant derived and microbial lipids were found in association with these humic-type substances. Most biomarker distributions suggest an increment in the microbial/terrestrial lipid ratio from the free to humin to humic to fulvic fractions. Microbial reworking of lipids, and the incorporation of microbial biomarkers into the humic-type fractions was evident, as well as the preservation of diagenetic byproducts. The lipid distribution associated with the fulvic acids suggests a high degree of microbial reworking for this fraction. Evidence for this 3D structure was obtained through the presence of the relatively high abundance of α,ω-dicarboxylic acids and phenolic and benzenecarboxylic compounds. The increment in structural complexity of the phenolic and benzencarboxylic compounds in combination with the reduction in the carbon chain length of the dicarboxylic acids from the free to fulvic fraction suggests the latter to be structurally the most stable, compacted and diagenetically altered substrate. This analytical approach can now be applied to peat samples from other areas within the Everglades ecosystem, affected differently by human intervention with the aim to assess changes in organic matter preservation.     

Accumulation of humic acid and fulvic acid during root humification of three diameters of two dominant subalpine trees in western Sichuan,China

Aims Plant roots store large amount of terrestrial carbon, but little is known about humus formation processes during the decomposing root litter. Compared with coarse roots, fine roots have greater nutrients, which may be favorable to humus formation. The objective of the study was to examine how root diameters affect their humus formation processes. Methods In this study, in order to examine the accumulation of humic acid and fulvic acid of three root diameter classes (0-2, 2-5 and 5-10 mm) of two subalpine tree species (Abies faxoniana and Picea asperata) on the eastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau of China, a two-year field experiment was conducted using a litter-bag method. Air-dried roots of A. faxoniana and P. asperata were placed in litterbags and incubated at 10 cm of soil depth in October 11th, 2013. Duplicate litter bags were collected in May (late winter) and October (late in the growing season) of 2014 and 2015, respectively. Concentrations of humic acid and fulvic acid were measured, and net accumulations were calculated for different periods. Important findings The concentrations of humic acid and fulvic acid were significantly influenced by root diameter that humic acid and fulvic acid decreased with increase in root diameter. Root diameter had significant effects on the net accumulation of humic acid, but not for the accumulation of fulvic acid. However, there were no significant differences in both humic acid and fulvic acid between A. faxoniana and P. asperata roots. Regardless of tree species, humic acid degraded during the winter but accumulated during the growing season. After two years of decomposition, the net accumulations of humic acid in 0-2, 2-5 and 5-10 mm roots were 8.0, 10.8 and 7.6 g·kg^-1 for P. asperata and 15.2, 8.0 and 7.8 g·kg^-1 for A. faxoniana, respectively. Conversely, the degradation of fulvic acid in 0-2, 2-5 and 5-10 mm roots were 178.0, 166.0 and 118.0 g·kg^-1 for P. asperata and 170.0, 160.0 and 128.0 g·kg^-1 for A. faxoniana, respectively. Our results suggest that diameter-associated variations in substrate quality could be an important driver for root litter humification in this subalpine forest. Moreover, diameter effect is dependent on decomposition period in this specific area.     

Evaluation of extractants for soil humic substances

Summary An evaluation of alkaline extractants was done by isotachophoresis and compared with infrared, ultraviolet and visible spectroscopic analysis. The electrophoretograms show that the humic acid extracted. This result is partially corroborated by the E₄/E₆ ratio. Differences in the carboxyl content and TRIS. In the pyrophosphate humic acid three fractions of high molecular weight were not extracted. This resultis partially corroborated by the E₄/E₆ ratio. Differences in the carboxyl content found by ir spectra of the TRIS humic acid and the NaOH humic acid were not shown in the isotachophoretic separation.     

Interaction between humic substances and carbohydrates in a Pampasic pond (Argentina)

Interaction between humic substances from a Pampasic pond and carbohydrates was studied. Determinations were performed by gel chromatography using radiolabeled glucose. The results showed that upon lowering the pH the interaction decreases in relation to the steric arrangement that causes the diminution of the accessibility of the available sites. Results of displacement experiments carried out by addition of unlabeled glucose, galactose, saccharose and starch, confirmed that the interaction occurs mainly through labile non specific bonds and is, to a certain degree, independent of the carbohydrate molecular weight involved. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Copper Bioavailability to Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) in Long-Term Cu-Contaminated Soils,Uncontaminated Soils,and Recently Cu-Spiked Soils

Copper solubility and its bioavailability to Phaseolus vulgaris in long-term copper-contaminated soils, uncontaminated soils, and copper-spiked soils were studied. The role of plant factors, total copper load in soils, and/or the aging effect on the uptake of copper was explored so as to assess health risks through contamination of the food chain associated with growing the crop on such soils. Contaminated soils and clean soils were collected from coffee-growing fields in Kilimanjaro and Arusha, Tanzania. Two bean seeds were sown per pot, replicated three times, and arranged in a randomized design in a glass house. Copper spiking significantly increased extractable copper, as expected. For all of the treatments except for the Mwanga and Arumeru control soils, the addition of CuSO₄ did not significantly increase the humic-acid-bound copper, but it significantly increased the fulvic-acid-bound copper (p = 0.05). Moshi soils had significantly higher concentrations of copper in the bean shoots than was the case with other treatments (p = 0.05). For the respective soil types, there was no significant difference in the concentrations of copper in bean leaves between spiked and unspiked treatments (p = 0.05). Bean shoots did not accumulate copper beyond the normal concentrations.     

Pyrolysis-field ionization mass spectrometry of agricultural soils and humic substances: Effect of cropping systems and influence of the mineral matrix

Whole soil samples, extracted humic substances, the corresponding fulvic (FA) and humic acids (HA) and the extraction residues (humins) from long-term, agricultural test plots were investigated by in-source pyrolysis-field ionization mass spectrometry (Py-FIMS). For the soils distinct differences in the chemical composition of the organic matter in differently managed fields were observed. The FI mass spectra of the extracted humic substances gave complementary chemical information, as they cover a larger mass range compared to the whole soil spectra. The chemical, structural information of the conventional alkaline extraction residues was demonstrated by Py-FIMS spectra to be similar to that of the related soil samples. Influences of mineral matrix to organic matter ratios were studied on mixtures of extracted humic substances with defined mineral components such as quartz, basalt, iron oxide (Fe₂O₃), Ca-montmorillonite, kaolinite and illite. It was shown that in these mixtures the number of mass signals detected and the covered mass range decreased, when organic carbon concentrations (C_org) in this synthetic mineral matrix dropped below 2% (w/w). Limitations in the direct application of Py-FIMS might arise in the case of natural soil samples with C_org concentrations below 0.5% (w/w), high contents of swelling clay minerals and iron oxides. ei]{gnR}{fnMerckx}

Geochemistry of aquatic humic substances in the Lake Fryxell Basin, Antarctica

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in Lake Fryxell, 10 streams flowing into the lake, and the moat surrounding the lake was studied to determine the influence of sources and biogeochemical processes on its distribution and chemical nature. Lake Fryxell is an amictic, permanently ice-covered lake in the McMurdo Dry Valleys which contains benthic and planktonic microbial populations, but receives essentially no input of organic material from the ahumic soils of the watershed. Biological activity in the water column does not appear to influence the DOC depth profile, which is similar to the profiles for conservative inorganic constituents. DOC values for the streams varied with biomass in the stream channel, and ranged from 0.2 to 9.7 mg C/L. Fulvic acids in the streams were a lower percentage of the total DOC than in the lake. These samples contain recent carbon and appear to be simpler mixtures of compounds than the lake samples, indicating that they have undergone less humification. The fulvic acids from just above the sediments of the lake have a high sulfur content and are highly aliphatic. The main transformations occurring as these fractions diffuse upward in the water column are 1) loss of sulfur groups through the oxycline and 2) decrease in aliphatic carbon and increase in the heterogeneity of aliphatic moieties. The fraction of modem¹⁴C content of the lake fulvic acids range from a minimum of 0.68 (approximately 3000 years old) at 15m depth to 0.997 (recent material) just under the ice. The major processes controlling the DOC in the lake appear to be: 1) The transport of organic matter by the inflow streams resulting in the addition of recent organic material to the moat and upper waters of the lake; 2) The diffusion of organic matter composed of relict organic material and organic carbon resulting from the degradation of algae and bacteria from the bottom waters or sediments of the lake into overlying glacial melt water, 3) The addition of recent organic matter to the bottom waters of the lake from the moat.     

Effects of humic substances on the bioavailability and aerobic biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls in a model soil.

The very high hydrophobicity of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) strongly reduces their bioavailability in aged contaminated soils, thus limiting their bioremediation. The biodegradability of PCBs in heavily contaminated soils can be significantly enhanced by soil treatment with surface-active agents. In this work, the effects of naturally occurring surfactants such as humic substances (HS) on the aerobic biodegradation of PCBs in a model soil were studied. The soil was amended with biphenyl (4 g/kg), Fenclor 42 (1,000 mg/kg), the aerobic PCB-biodegrading bacterial co-culture ECO3 (inoculum: 10(8)CFU/mL), and treated in aerobic batch slurry-phase conditions (17.5% w/v) with and without the addition of HS at the rates of 1.5 and 3.0% (w/w). Low PCBs biodegradation and dechlorination yields were observed in the HS-free microcosms, probably as a result of the rapid disappearance of inoculated bacteria. The presence of HS influenced significantly the activity of the specialized biomass and the biodegradation of PCBs in the microcosms. The microcosms that received HS at the 1.5% rate showed a higher persistence of the specialized bacteria and yields of PCB biodegradation and dechlorination about 150 and 100%, respectively, larger than those found for the HS-free microcosms. Lower stimulating effects were observed in the microcosms added with the HS at 3.0% rate. These effects were attributed to an increased solubilization of PCBs in the hydrophobic domains of the humic supramolecular associations and to a different accessibility of PCBs by the specialized bacteria at the different rates of HS addition. Although the slurry-phase treatment generally showed a decrease of the original soil ecotoxicity, the addition of the originally non-toxic HS decreased soil ecotoxicity for the Collembola animal biomarker and increased that towards the Lepidium sativum vegetal biomarker.     

Effects of humic substances and soya lecithin on the aerobic bioremediation of a soil historically contaminated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)

The high hydrophobicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) strongly reduces their bioavailability in aged contaminated soils, thus limiting their bioremediation. The biodegradation of PAHs in soils can be enhanced by employing surface-active agents. However, chemical surfactants are often recalcitrant and exert toxic effects in the amended soils. The effects of two biogenic materials as pollutant-mobilizing agents on the aerobic bioremediation of an aged-contaminated soil were investigated here. A soil historically contaminated by about 13 g kg(-1) of a large variety of PAHs, was amended with soya lecithin (SL) or humic substances (HS) at 1.5% w/w and incubated in aerobic solid-phase and slurry-phase reactors for 150 days. A slow and only partial biodegradation of low-molecular weight PAHs, along with a moderate depletion of the initial soil ecotoxicity, was observed in the control reactors. The overall removal of PAHs in the presence of SL or HS was faster and more extensive and accompanied by a larger soil detoxification, especially under slurry-phase conditions. The SL and HS could be metabolized by soil aerobic microorganisms and enhanced the occurrence of both soil PAHs and indigenous aerobic PAH-degrading bacteria in the reactor water phase. These results indicate that SL and HS are biodegradable and efficiently enhance PAH bioavailability in soil. These natural surfactants significantly intensified the aerobic bioremediation of a historically PAH-contaminated soil under treatment conditions similar to those commonly employed in large-scale soil bioremediation.     

The influence of humic substances on lacustrine planktonic food chains

Humic substances (HS) might influence planktonic food chains in lakes in two ways: 1) by altering the physical or chemical environment and thus modifying autotrophic primary production and the dependent food chains; 2) by acting as a direct carbon/energy source for food chains. HS compete with phytoplankton for available quanta underwater and this effect is seen in the reduced euphotic zone depth in lakes with high concentrations of HS. Thus potential photosynthetic production is lower in the presence of HS. However, this effect can be offset in small lakes in which the depth of mixing is also reduced when HS concentrations are high. Complexation by HS of important nutrients such as iron and phosphorus may also restrict primary production. Evidence is accumulating that photosynthetic primary production is insufficient to support measured metabolic activity in humic lakes, which implies that metabolism of allochthonous HS underpins much of the observed activity. Studies of bacterial abundance and growth in the presence of HS support the view that bacteria are the most significant utilisers of HS. This use is apparently facilitated by photolysis of HS, particularly by short wavelength radiation. Bacteria are grazed by both micro-zooplankton (heterotrophic and mixotrophic flagellates and ciliates) and macrozooplankton. It is within this microbial community that the food chains derived from autotrophic and allotrophic sources interact. These effects of HS on food chains are discussed in relation to possible implications for the response of different lake types to eutrophication.     

大颗粒活化腐植酸肥对苹果土壤团聚体和有机碳的影响

新型大颗粒活化腐植酸肥(LAF)在苹果化肥减量和果实稳产方面的效果显著,探明其对土壤团聚体和有机碳的影响是揭示该新型肥料对苹果土壤结构影响的重要依据。本研究设置4个LAF处理:LAF₁[全量施肥,施肥时期及重量比(下同):萌芽期∶膨果期∶成熟期=3∶4∶3]、LAF₂(全量施肥,萌芽期∶膨果期∶成熟期=2∶3∶5)、LAF₃(减量1/4施肥,萌芽期∶膨果期∶成熟期=2∶3∶5)、LAF₄(减量1/3施肥,萌芽期∶膨果期∶成熟期=2∶3∶5),以不施肥(CK)处理为对照。通过4年盆栽试验,研究苹果土壤团聚体组成、稳定性和有机碳对不同施肥处理的响应。结果表明: 1)与CK相比,LAF各处理显著提高了土壤水稳性大团聚体含量,>2 mm和2~0.25 mm粒径团聚体含量分别提高了53.4%~77.5%和12.3%~17.0%,且提高幅度随施肥量的增加而增大,其中LAF₁处理土壤水稳性大团聚体含量最高。2)LAF各处理在各粒径团聚体含量上差异不显著,其中2~0.25 mm粒径团聚体含量所占的比例最高。3)与CK相比,LAF各处理均显著提高了团聚体平均重量直径(MWD)和几何平均直径(GMD),降低了分形维数(D),其中LAF₁处理的MWD和GMD值最高,对土壤团聚体稳定性提升效果最好。4)除LAF₄外,其他LAF处理土壤有机碳含量均显著高于CK,其中LAF₂处理土壤有机碳含量最高;LAF各处理均增加了土壤各粒径团聚体有机碳含量,LAF₁、LAF₂、LAF₃处理显著提高了>2 mm粒径团聚体有机碳含量,且>2 mm团聚体有机碳对总有机碳的贡献率最大;LAF各处理的水稳性大团聚体有机碳对总有机碳的贡献率均显著高于CK,且贡献率均在66.0%以上,其中LAF₁处理最高。综上,施用LAF在促进苹果土壤水稳性大团聚体形成和稳定性、提高团聚体有机碳含量上应用效果显著,其中全量施用效果最好。施用LAF可作为改善苹果土壤结构和提升土壤肥力的有效措施。     

The effect of humic substances on the toxicity of aluminium to adult rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum)

Some physiological parameters were measured in adult rainbow trout during a 10-day exposure to 180 μg Al_total l⁻¹ in acid water (pH 4.7) with or without humic substances (10 mg l⁻). The fish were acclimatized to pH 5.0 for 7 days prior to the experimental treatments.
Chemical analyses revealed that, in the presence of human substances, 74–80% of the A1 was organic bound, while in the absence of humic substances most of the Al(987percnt;) occurred in the inorganic form.
Al bound to humic substances (13–150 μg l⁻¹) did not alter the plasma NaCl-concentration, nor the haematocrit value, of rainbow trout during an exposure period of 10 days. This contrasts with the high death rate obtained within 2–3 days when most of the A1 (175 μg l⁻¹) was in the inorganic form. The lethality was accompanied by a 25% decrease in the plasmaconcentration of NaCl and a doubling of the haematocrit value. Bulk analysis revealed that when the metal was present in inorganic forms the total Al content of the gills (75 μg A1 g⁻¹ wet weight) was 15 times higher than when it was present as bound to the humic substances. These experiments showed that the accumulation of A1 at the gills was accompanied by physiological disturbances, both being a function of the chemical speciation of Al.

Amino acid distribution in some fungal melanins and of soil humic acids from Brazil

Summary Humic acids from four Brazilian topsoils of different origins and four soil fungal melanins, synthesized under two cultural conditions, were subjected to 6N HCl hydrolysis and their amino acid distribution patterns qualitatively and quantitatively determined. Both soil and fungal polymers showed similar patterns with aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine and alanine as the dominant amino acids. Some variations noted were more quantitative than qualitative, the similarities were more pronounced than differences, indicating that the fungal melanins may play a significant role in the formation of soil humic acid polymers. The humic acids of Brazilian soils had amino acid distribution patterns similar to those reported for humic acids of other tropical and temperate soils.
