چکیده

Increased inputs of phosphorus (P) and heavy metals to agricultural soils have caused considerable concern. Information on accumulation and chemical forms of the elements in soils is needed as a guide for the judicious application of agricultural chemicals and organic manures. The focus of this study was to assess accumulation of P and heavy metals among various fractions of a sandy soil with a 25 year history of vegetable crop production and primarily inorganic fertilization. The results demonstrated that long-term vegetable production practices changed concentrations and partitioning of P and heavy metals in the soil. Phosphorus, Cu, Zn, and Mn were significantly accumulated and moved downward along the soil profile. Most of the total Cr in the vegetable soil accumulated in the upper 0-15 cm. However, there was no significant accumulation and transport of Cd, Co, Mo, Ni, and Pb in the vegetable soil. Major P fractions in the vegetable soil were NaHCO3-P, followed by HCl-P and residual P. Copper, Zn, and Mn accumulated predominantly in the CaCO3 fraction or oxide fraction, whereas Cr accumulated mainly in the organically bound fraction, indicating that P, Cu, Zn, and Mn in the vegetable soil have greater mobility potential. Compared with adjacent forest soil, the vegetable soil had a lower percentage of P, Cu, Zn, and Mn in the residual fractions, and a higher percentage of P, Cu, Zn, and Mn in the CaCO3 fractions or organically bound fraction.

Manures behave similar to superphosphate in phosphorus accumulation in long-term field soils

Repeated application of manures to agricultural soils could cause the accumulation of phosphorus (P) in soils. However, it is unclear if manure P can behave similar to P in soluble fertilizers in accumulation Olsen-P (0.5 mol L-1 NaHCO3 at pH 8.5) in soils. A long-term wheat-maize rotation experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of repeated application of manures on P accumulation i...

Status of heavy metals in agricultural soils as affected by different patterns of land use.

This study was conducted to determine status of heavy metals in agricultural soils under different patterns of land use. A total of 38, 40 and 45 soil samples for bare vegetable field, greenhouse vegetable field, and grain crop field were respectively taken from surface layer (0-20 cm) from selected experimental areas away from suburbs of ten counties (or districts or cities) in four provinces ...

Co-transport of dissolved organic matter and heavy metals in soils induced by excessive phosphorus applications.

To evaluate the effects of long-term applications of phosphorus fertilizers on mobility of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and heavy metals in agricultural soils, a sandy soil and a loamy soil were spiked with ammonium phosphate at application rates of 0, 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 mg P per kilogram of soil. A series of 15-cm long soil columns were constructed by packing incubated soils of varyin...

Impacts of Small-Scale Industrialized Swine Farming on Local Soil, Water and Crop Qualities in a Hilly Red Soil Region of Subtropical China

Industrialized small-scale pig farming has been rapidly developed in developing regions such as China and Southeast Asia, but the environmental problems accompanying pig farming have not been fully recognized. This study investigated 168 small-scale pig farms and 29 example pig farms in Yujiang County of China to examine current and potential impacts of pig wastes on soil, water and crop qualit...
