Earthworms affect reactive surface area and thereby phosphate solubility in iron-(hydr)oxide dominated soils

چکیده
Sustainability of agricultural systems is at stake, as phosphorus (P) a non-renewable resource while its global reserves are limited. Stimulating earthworm activity can be technology to increase the level readily plant-available phosphate (PO4). However, conclusive evidence on mechanisms underlying an earthworm-enhanced PO4 solubility yet missing. This study aimed reveal possibly overlooked pathways by which earthworms affect solubility, and quantify relative importance all contributing mechanisms. Therefore, we set up greenhouse pot experiment in investigated large water-extractable casts three species (Lumbricus rubellus, Aporrectodea caliginosa, Lumbricus terrestris) soils with either predominantly Fe- or Al-(hydr)oxides. Oxalate-extractable was increased compared bulk soil attributed mineralisation natural organic matter (NOM). Surface complexation modelling used elucidate that control solubility. The results our showed pH affects only minor extent. Besides NOM mineralisation, two major (i) decrease reactive surface area (RSA) metal-(hydr)oxide fraction; (ii) competition between for binding sites metal-(hydr)oxides. As newly discovered RSA found Fe-(hydr)oxide-dominated soils, have largest potential enhance those soils.

a quantitative analysis of phosphate adsorption on iron hydroxide goethite (α-feooh): ph and surface area effects
abstract phosphate is an essential element for plants, animals, and human. mobility and availability of phosphate in the natural systems is controlled by the adsorption-desorption and dissolution-precipitation reactions. iron (hydr)oxides including goethite play an important role in phosphate adsorption reactions in soil. surface area, crystallinity, and morphology of iron (hydr)oxides are the ...

16 The common practice of remediating metal contaminated mine soils with compost can reduce 17 metal mobility and promote re-vegetation, but the effect of introduced or colonising 18 earthworms on metal solubility is largely unknown. We amended soils from an As/Cu (1150 19 mgAs kg and 362 mgCu kg) and Pb/Zn mine (4550 mgPb kg and 908 mgZn kg) with 0, 20 5, 10, 15 and 20 % compost and then intro...

Oxidation of sulfide-containing ores is the main cause of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), which is an environmental problem associated with both the abandoned and active mines. Iron-bearing sulfide minerals can be oxidized and form mine waters with high sulfate content, low pH, high electrical conductivity, high redox potential, and high concentrations of iron, aluminum, and other heavy metals. In th...
