This study evaluated the long-term availability of legacy P in soils with an accelerated biological mining assay, thereby testing to what extent this availability is affected by soil organic carbon (SOC). A 15-month-long pot trial was set-up, in which 25 soils with 1.2–24% SOC were mined for P by continuous cropping and harvesting of ryegrass (Lolium perenne) in a plant growth cabinet. The cumulative uptake of P was, on average, 19% of the P associated with poorly crystalline iron (Fe) and aluminium (Al) (oxy)hydroxides (oxalate-extractable P; Pox). On average, half of this P could be taken up at rates fast enough to maintain crop production at > 90% of its potential. This P taken up before a 10% reduction in yield occurred, termed the critical cumulative P uptake (CCP), strikingly matched with the isotopically exchangeable P or “E value” of a soil (median CCP/E24h = 0.81), whereas it was markedly underestimated by Olsen P (median CCP/POlsen = 1.51). The fractions of plant-available Pox increased at increasing ratios of either P or SOC to the sum of Feox and Alox, suggesting that enhanced SOC contents reduce ageing of P by preventing its diffusion into micropores. That effect of SOC on P availability was more pronounced in soils with a low initial P saturation status. The comparison of the results from biological mining with available soil P pools determined in a (sterile) P desorption experiment could not confirm a significant contribution of organic P to plant P supply. Based on the set of soils in our study, our findings suggest that legacy P in well-fertilised agricultural soils could act as a sufficient P source for plants for several years to decades, and that this long-term availability is positively affected by SOC as long as the soil is not saturated with P.

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2022 Elsevier B.V.The continuing warming of the climate system is reducing snow cover depth and duration worldwide. Changes in snow cover can significantly affect the soil microclimate and the functioning of many terrestrial ecosystems across latitudinal and elevational gradients. Yet, a quantitative assessment of the effects of snow cover change on soil physicochemical and biotic properties at large or regional scales is lacking. Here, we synthesized data of 3286 observations from 99 publications of snow manipulation studies to evaluate the effects of snow removal, addition, and compaction on soil physicochemical and biotic properties in winter and in the following growing season across (sub)arctic, boreal, temperate, and alpine regions. We found that (1) snow removal significantly reduced soil temperature by 2.2 and 0.9 °C in winter and in the growing season, respectively, while snow addition increased soil temperature in winter by 2.7 °C but only by 0.4 °C in the following growing season whereas snow compaction had no effect; (2) snow removal had limited effects on soil properties in winter but significantly affected soil moisture, pH, and carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics in the growing season; (3) snow addition had significant effects on soil properties both in winter (e.g., increases in soil moisture, soil C and N dynamics, phosphorus availability, and microbial biomass C and N) and in the growing season (e.g., increases in mineral N, microbial biomass C and N, and enzyme activities); and (4) the effects of snow manipulation on soil properties were regulated by moderator variables such as ecosystem type, snow depth, latitude, elevation, climate, and experimental duration. Overall, our results highlight the importance of snow cover-induced warmer microclimate in regulating soil physicochemical and biotic properties at regional scales. These findings are important for predicting and managing changes in snow-covered ecosystems under future climate change scenarios.

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Afforestation is thought to be one of the key measures for mitigating climate change by capturing atmospheric carbon. However, despite the importance of afforestation in ecosystem functioning, its effects on soil microbial diversity and enzyme activity remain unclear. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis of these effects, using a newly compiled dataset of soil microbial diversity and enzyme activity before and after afforestation collected from 80 sites worldwide. Soil fungal diversity and soil enzyme activities increased significantly after afforestation, but soil bacterial diversity did not change significantly. Among these soil enzymes, the activities of β-1,4-glucosidase (BG), urease (UREA), alkaline phosphatase (AP), dehydrogenase (DEH), and catalase (CAT) increased by 104.7%, 84.0%, 101.7%, 199.2%, and 58.3%, respectively. The responses of soil microbial diversity and enzyme activities varied across afforestation durations, climate zones, prior land use types, and species. Specifically, soil bacterial diversity and the activity of BG increased significantly with afforestation duration, and the increase in BG activity was higher in tropical than in temperate zones. In degraded sites, both soil microbial diversity and enzyme activities significantly increased after afforestation. In addition, structural equation models showed that soil carbon content, nitrogen content, and soil pH value were significant driving factors for the soil microbial community diversity and soil enzyme activities. Overall, our results provided a comprehensive understanding of the changes in soil microbial diversity and enzyme activity under different afforestation conditions, as well as scientific bases for locally adapted afforestation in the future.

    Causes and implications of the seasonal dissolution and precipitation of pedogenic carbonates in soils of karst regions – A thermodynamic model approach

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2022 The AuthorsRed Mediterranean Soils developed over carbonate rocks can precipitate pedogenic carbonates at the base of their profiles, forming an evolutionary stage of calcretes. We studied a 0.6 m deep soil profile in Dalmatia (Croatia) where the lowest section of the soil is a calcic horizon formed by diffuse calcite particles and small nodules. These nodules record different events of dissolution and precipitation. Using a 3-month period of soil environmental monitoring, where soil temperature, soil water content, soil bulk electrical conductivity and soil air CO2 were measured, we implemented a thermodynamic model for dissolution and precipitation of calcite in the soil. The simulation shows a stage dominated by calcite dissolution during spring and early summer followed by a stage dominated by calcite precipitation. Soil air CO2 is the main control of the calcite reactions, with concentration of solutes also being of some importance during the stage of calcite precipitation. Soil water content and temperature, both affect soil air CO2. Precipitation events also have high-frequency impact on soil air CO2, but the response is complex. The model enables soil water solutions to be supersaturated in relation to calcite without precipitation of that mineral. Simulated soil water reached variable values of supersaturation in relation to calcite before its precipitation was triggered, suggesting that there is no fixed threshold value for the precipitation of calcite in a particular soil. During the 3-month simulated period, 83% of the calcite dissolved was reprecipitated as pedogenic carbonate. Most of the initially dissolved calcite, was expected to be diffuse pedogenic carbonate particles, although nodules and bedrock at the base of the soil should also have contributed to the solutes dissolved. Therefore, karst landscapes where soils have pedogenic carbonates are expected to record less denudation rates than those regions without calcretes.

    Rare earth elements associated with pedogenic iron oxides in humid and tropical soils from different parent materials

    Huang K.-F.Wu C.-Y.Hseu Z.-Y.Chu M.-F....
    11页
    查看更多>>摘要：? 2022Rare earth elements (REEs) from parent materials are easily trapped by secondary minerals in highly weathered soils that contain high pedogenic iron (Fe) oxide levels. However, few studies have investigated REEs fractionation by Fe oxides during pedogenesis. Therefore, this study examined REEs partitioned in the pedogenic Fe oxides of four pedons developed from schist, andesite, shale, and mafic rocks in Eastern Taiwan; this was achieved by combining the dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate (DCB) extraction for bulk soil samples and microspectroscopic approaches for thin sections. The DCB extraction was applied to pedogenic Fe oxides (Fed). Furthermore, REE concentrations of the Fe extraction were measured to assess the potential mobility of REEs through the dissolution of pedogenic Fe oxides. The spatial distribution of REEs in Fe nodules and surrounding soil matrix was achieved by using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The results revealed that total REE content varied with soil depth and among pedons. Total REEs were fractionated during pedogenesis; thus, the ratio of light REEs (LREEs) to heavy REEs (HREEs) varied substantially among all pedons. However, the DCB-extractable REE contents significantly (p < 0.05) increased when the Fed contents increased, indicating the high affinity of pedogenic Fe oxides for REEs. Moreover, the pedogenic Fe oxides exhibited an association preference for HREEs over LREEs even though the DCB-extractable concentrations of LREEs were higher than those of HREEs in the soils. Additionally, the association of REEs with Fe oxides led to HREEs condensation in the Fe nodules identified through LA-ICP-MS and EPMA. Our results elucidated pedogenic Fe oxides as the major carrier of REEs while clarifying the preferential trapping of HREEs by pedogenic Fe oxides.

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Vesicular pores are observed in many different soil-forming environments. They can also be re-created in the lab through exposure to cyclic wetting and drying. However, little is known about the physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms involved in vesicular pore formation. This study was conducted to test the hypotheses that 1) microbial activity and 2) thermal expansion are important drivers of vesicular pore growth. These hypotheses were tested through laboratory experiments employing treatments to manipulate the biota (i.e., sterile, non-sterile, and glucose-amended treatments) and temperature change (i.e., wetting at 7 °C, 23 °C, and 40 °C before drying at 40 °C). The growth of vesicular pores, as well as vughs and planar voids, was compared among the treatments using bulk densities measured by three-dimensional laser scanning and pore analysis by computed tomography. Pore growth was found to be significantly greater in sterile soils compared to non-sterile and glucose-amended soils. Comparison among the temperature treatments showed the greatest pore growth in the samples that experienced the greatest temperature change between wetting and drying (7 °C to 40 °C). These results support the thermal expansion hypothesis of vesicular pore development, but contradict the microbial activity hypothesis.

    Evaluation of heavy metal availability in soils near former zinc smelters by chemical extractions and geochemical modelling

    Song J.Gao H.Koopmans G.F.Comans R.N.J....

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2022Multi-surface modelling (MSM) is an important tool to predict heavy metal partitioning and speciation in soils. However, calcareous clay soils contaminated by smelting activities and mine waste have so far received little attention in MSM studies. In this work, 6 paired soil samples taken nearby former Zn smelters and at further distance were used for quantifying the essential input parameters for MSM including the size of the geochemically reactive pool of heavy metals and the reactivity of soil organic matter (SOM) for metal binding. The reactive heavy metal pool (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in these samples was determined by extracting soil with 0.43 M HNO3 and 0.005 M DTPA. For both extraction methods, the contribution of all heavy metals to their total contents was larger in most of the soil samples taken nearby former Zn smelters than in the paired samples from further distance. Furthermore, the amounts of heavy metals extracted with 0.43 M HNO3 were consistently larger than those extracted with 0.005 M DTPA. The sum of the humic acid (HA), fulvic acid (FA) + hydrophobic organic neutral (HON) fraction varied between 6.2 and 43% of total SOM with an average of 24%, which is at the lower end of what is commonly reported in literature. The lower SOM reactivity might be attributed to a lower humification rate of fresh soil organic matter due to heavy metal contamination. The accuracy of the MSM-predicted predictions of solubility of the heavy metals, especially for Ni and Zn, was higher when the results of the DTPA extraction method were used as model input, than when using the results of the HNO3 extraction method, especially when the soil carbonate content was > 4%. Hence, the measurement of the geochemical reactivity of heavy metals by the 0.005 M DTPA extraction method and the reactivity of SOM enable adequate MSM predictions of the solubility of heavy metals in smelter slag-contaminated calcareous clay soils.

    Land use impacts on weathering, soil properties, and carbon storage in wet Andosols, Indonesia

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2022 Elsevier B.V.We investigated changes in geochemical soil properties in response to deposition age and land use management over 30 – 50 years on tropical volcanic soils. Our purpose was to find out how weathering stage and land use interactively affect soil properties and organic carbon, and to check if phenoforms (management-related soil subtypes) exist within the genoforms (genetic soil types). Soil samples were taken at land uses that have been converted (pine forest and agricultural land) and a natural forest as the original land use. The results showed that pine forest soil displayed more intense weathering as indicated by higher values of three weathering indices. Intensive agricultural practices also improved soil chemical properties such as pH, exchangeable base cations, base saturation, and organic carbon stock leading to WRB-qualifier of “eutric” in cultivated soils, whereas the average of bulk density was relatively similar between forests and cultivated soils. Positive correlations were found between amorphous materials and Alo, specific surface area, and micropore volume. Correlations between the content of short-range order Al (hydr-) oxides (indicated by Alo) and organic carbon were found in pine forest and agricultural soils, particularly in subsoils. Our results clearly indicate the increase of base cations retention due to less acidification and an increase of organic carbon stock under agricultural land use, likely due to stabilization with non-crystalline materials.

    Interactions of dissolved organic matter with short-range ordered aluminosilicates by adsorption and co-precipitation

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Retention of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by short-range ordered aluminosilicates (SROAS) by adsorption and co-precipitation contributes to carbon accrual in soils and sediments. In this study, we investigated effects of SROAS composition on DOM adsorption, partitioning of carbon moieties by adsorption and co-precipitation, and the mineral structure of co-precipitates. We used four types of sorptive solutions, representing DOM collected in situ from topsoil and subsoil horizons of a Dystric Cambisol, and water-extracted DOM from beech and fir litter. We studied adsorption of soil DOM on three SROAS that structurally resemble proto-imogolites and Si-rich allophanes as a function of contact time (1–168 h) at initial pH 5. Co-precipitation of soil and litter-extracted DOM was quantified as a function of the molar Al:C ratio (0.3–1.4) and at two levels of Si concentration (molar Al:Si = 1 and 2). To resolve the impact of DOM on mineral structure, we first examined time-dependent structural evolution of SROAS within 1 to 72 h and subsequently investigated the effects of DOM interference in crystallization processes. Mineral structure of SROAS and co-precipitates was resolved by infrared, solid-state 27Al- and 29Si-NMR spectroscopy. Chemical composition of DOM prior to reaction with SROAS and in co-precipitates was analysed by solid-state 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Maximal C contents of adsorption complexes were 7.1 mg C g?1 for Al-rich and 20.4 mg C g?1 for Si-rich SROAS. We found selective adsorption of aromatic C and preferential exclusion of polysaccharide and alkyl C for both topsoil and subsoil DOM. Adsorption was larger for a Si-rich SROAS, since it exhibited a greater accessibility of aluminol groups. As a function of aromatic C content in initial DOM, 39.9 to 81% of C was retained by co-precipitation. Composition of co-precipitated organic matter was determined by C speciation in DOM supply, involving marked uptake of polysaccharides. In the absence of DOM, up to 50% of Si was present in imogolite-like configuration after 72 h, evidencing rapid development of short-range order. Complexation of Al by DOM during formation of SROAS caused partial exclusion of Si and slowed structural evolution, consequently enhancing abundance of ill-defied Si species in co-precipitates. Interactions of DOM with SROAS may cause selective accumulation of organic compounds and promote Si mobility in Andosols and Podzols.

    Topsoil clay content mapping in croplands from Sentinel-2 data: Influence of atmospheric correction methods across a season time series

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Recent studies demonstrated the capability of Sentinel-2 (S2) data to estimate topsoil properties and highlighted the sensitivity of these estimations to soil surface conditions depending on the S2 acquisition date. These estimations are based on Bottom of Atmosphere (BOA) reflectance images, obtained from Top of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance values using Atmospheric Correction (AC) methods. AC of optical satellite imagery is an important pre-processing stage before estimating biophysical variables, and several AC methods are currently operational to perform such conversion. This study aims at evaluating the sensitivity of topsoil clay content estimation to atmospheric corrections along an S2 time series. Three AC methods were tested (MAJA, Sen2Cor, and LaSRC) on a time series of eleven Sentinel-2 images acquired over a cultivated region in India (Karnataka State) from February 2017 to June 2017. Multiple Linear Regression models were built using clay content analyzed from topsoil samples collected over bare soil pixels and corresponding BOA reflectance data. The influence of AC methods was also analysed depending on bare soil pixels selections based on two spectral indices and several thresholds: the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI below 0.25, 0.3 and 0.35) and the combination of NDVI (below 0.3) and Normalized Burned Ratio 2 index (NBR2 below 0.09, 0.12 and 0.15) for masking green vegetation, crop residues and soil moisture. First, this work highlighted that regression models were more sensitive to acquisition date than to AC method, suggesting that soil surface conditions were more influent on clay content estimation models than variability among atmospheric corrections. Secondly, no AC method outperformed other methods for clay content estimation, and the performances of regression models varied mostly depending on the bare soil pixels selection used to calibrate the regression models. Finally, differences in BOA reflectance among AC methods for the same acquisition date led to differences in NDVI and NBR2, and hence in bare soil coverage identification and subsequent topsoil clay content mapping coverage. Thus, selecting S2 images with respect to the acquisition date appears to be a more critical step than selecting an AC method, to ensure optimal retrieval accuracy when mapping topsoil properties assumed to be relatively stable over time.
