Modelling of Cadmium Transport in Soil-Crop System

A model for simulating cadmium transport in a soil-plant system was built using a commercial simulating program named Powersim on the basis of input-output processes happening in the soil-plant system. Convective and dispersive transport processes of cadmium in soil profile are embedded. Simulations on a daily base have been done up to a total simulating time of 250 years. Results show that applications of sewage sludge and fertilizer at the simulated rates would only cause slight cadmium accumulations in each layer of the soil, and cadmium accumulation would be levelling off, reaching an equilibrium concentrations layer by layer downward after certain time. The time scale to reach an equilibrium concentration varies from 10 years for the top three layers to over 250 years for the bottom layers. Plant cadmium uptake would increase from 52μg m-2 under initial soil cadmium concentrations to 65μg m-2 under equilibrium soil cadmium concentrations, which would not exceed the maximum allowable cadmium concentration in wheat grains. Main parameters which influence cadmium accumulation and transport in soil are total cadmium input, rainfall, evaporation, plant uptake and soil properties.

Monitoring Land Use Dynamics in Chanthaburi Province of Thailand Using Digital Remotely Sensed Images

A comprehensive method of image classification was developed for monitoring land use dynamics in Chanthaburi Province of Tailand. RS (Remote Sensing), GIS (Geographical Information System), GPS (Global Positioning System) and ancillary data were combined by the method which adopts the main idea of classifying images by steps from decision tree method and the hybridized supervised and unsupervised classification. An integration of automatic image interpretation, ancillary materials and expert knowledge was realized. Two subscenes of Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) images of bands 3, 4 and 5 obtained on December 15, 1992, and January 17, 1999, were used for image processing and spatial data analysis in the study. The overall accuracy of the results of classification reached 90%, which was verified by field check.Results showed that shrimp farm land, urban and traffic land, barren land, bush and agricultural developing area increased in area, mangrove, paddy field, swamp and marsh land, orchard and plantation, and tropical grass land decreased, and the forest land kept almost stable. Ecological analysis on the land use changes showed that more attentions should be paid on the effect of land development on ecological environment in the future land planning and management.

Dynamics of Microbial Biomass in a Rainfed Soil Under Wheat Cultivation

A pot experiment was conducted to determine the dynamics of soil microbial biomass in a rainfed soil under wheat cultivation at the University of Arid Agriculture, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The treatments applied were: 1) a control (CK), 2) NPK (0.44-0.26-0.18 g pot-1), 3) farmyard manure (FYM, 110 g pot-1), 4)poultry manure (PM, 110 g pot-1), 5) FYM (110 g pot-1) + NPK (0.44-0.26-0.18 g pot-1), 6) poultry manure (PM, 110 g pot-1) + NPK (0.44-0.26-0.18 g pot-1), 7) FYM (110 g pot-1) + NPK(S) (0.44-0.26-0.18 g pot-1, one half of the NPK at sowing and the other half one month after sowing), and 8) PM (110 g pot-1) + NPK(S) (0.44-0.26-0.18 g pot-1, one half of the NPK applied at sowing and the other half one month after sowing). The experiment was laid out using a completely randomized design with three replications. Microbial biomass C, N and P contents increased continuously from the beginning of the experiment up to the three-leaf stage. A slight decline was observed at the tillering stage in all treatments except with the organic manures + NPK(S) treatments. After tillering there was an increase in all treatments to the recorded maximum point at the full heading stage in all treatments except with the organic manures + NPK(S) treatments. In the FYM + NPK(S) and PM + NPK(S) treatments; however, there was a continuous increase in microbial biomass up to the heading stage. At the harvesting stage a sharp decline was noted in all treatments. The C:N ratio of microbial biomass in tested soil ranged from 7.8 to 11.3, while C:P ratio of microbial biomass in the tested soil ranged from 22.6 to 35.1 throughout all growth stages of the wheat crop.

Effects of Sorbed Phosphate on Kinetics of Cn^（2＋） Sec－ondary Adsorption in Soils

The effects of sorbed phosphate on the kinetics of Cu￣2+ secondary adsorption on three major types ofsoils in southern and Central China were studied using the batch method and flow (or miscible displacement)techniques. Both of the methods showed that diffusions were the ratedetermining steps in the Cu￣2+ adsorp-tion by the soils. By the flow method, the course of Cu￣2+ adsorption kinetics consisted of two steps-sn initialrapid process and a later slow process of Cu￣2+ adsorption; while by the batch method, the 90% of Cu￣2+adsorption reaction was found to finish within first 1 minute. The results obtained using the flow method alsoindicated that for red soil and yellow-brown soil, Cu￣2+ adsorptions during the initial reaction periods wererestrained when the soils sorbed phosphate, whereas the adsorption reactions were stimulated at the finaltime. For grey Chao soil, sorbed phosphate retarded the Cu￣2+ adsorption in the whole reaction period. Theresults obtained using the batch method and flow techniques all implied that the different effects of sorbedphosphate would be attributed to its effects on Cu￣2+ ion diffusion in soil solution.

1Assessing Soil Available Potassium by Cation Exchange Membrane and Conventional Chemical Extractions

Four testing methods using canon exchange membrane (CEM), ammonium acetate, ASI (0.25 mol L-1 NaHCO3+0.01 mol L-1 EDTA +0.01 mol L-1 NH4P) and 1.0 mol L-1 boiling nitric acid, respectively, were used to evaluate soil available K. The soil K tested by CEM was significantly correlated with that by the other (conventional) methods (r2=0.43**~0.95***). The soil K tested by CEM saturated with NH4HCO3 (15 min extraction) was most closely correlated with that by the other methods (2 =0. 60***~0.95***). Potassium availability, as predicted by soil test, was comparable to actual K uptake by canola and wheat grown on the soils in growth chamber. Regression analyses showed that plant K uptake was more closely correlated with K extracted by CEM (r2=0.56***~0.81***) than that by the conventional methods (r2=0.46***~;0.81***), most closely correlsted with that by NH4HCO3-saturated CEM for 15 min (r2=0.81***), and worst correlated with that by HNO3 (r2=0.45**~0.72***).

Synergism Among VA Mycorrhiza, Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria and Rhizobium for Symbiosis with Blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) Under Field Conditions

A field experiment was conducted at the G.B. Pant University Research Station, Ujhani (U.P.) in rainy (Kharif) season of the year 1994-1995 to study the effect of Rhizobium, VAM (vesicular arbuscular myc- orrhiza) and PSB (phosphate solubilizing bacteria) inoculation, with and without P, on blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) seed yield. Phosphorus application in soil with medium P content (5.4 mg kg～1) increased nodu- lation, grain yield, N and P in plant and grain over no phosphorus control. Forty kilograms of P-2O-5 each hactare recorded an increase of 20.6 % in nodule dry weight, significant increases of 0.35 g kg～(-1) in N con- centration and 1.28 g kg～(-1) in P concentration of plant over 20 kg P-2O-5 ha～(-1). Similar significant increases of 0.59 g kg～(-l) in grain yield and 0.54 and 0.23 g kg～(-1) in N and P concentrations of the grain, respectively, over 20 kg P-2O-5 ha～(-1) were also obtained with higher dose. Inoculation of Rhizobium ＋ VAM ＋ PSB at all the stages of plant growth recorded maximum increases in all the parameters studied. Dual inoculation of Rhizobium with either VAM or PSB was generally significant in the effect and better than that of VAM ＋ PSB, however, P accumulation in plant and grain was more with VAM ＋ PSB. Among single inocula tions, Rhizobium gave highest and 21.0 % more nodule number, 34.7 % more nodule dry mass, 0.73 g kg～(-1) more N in grain and 4.2 % higher grain yield over PSB. PSB, however, registered significant increases in P concentration in plant and grain over VAM and Rhizobium.

Influence of pH on Formation of Taranakites

Monoammonium phosphate (1 mol L-1), monopotassium phosphate (1 mol L-1) and aluminum ohloride (5×10-3 mol L-1) were used to investigate the influence of pH on the formation of NH4-taranakite and K-taranakite in systems with a high NH4H2PO4 or KH2PO4 concentration. The experimental data indicated that the reaction products of aluminum with NH4H2PO4 or KH2PO4 changed with the pH in the systems. In a pH range of 2.5 to 10.0, as the pH increased, the products in either ammonium or potassium system followed the sequence: taranakite, amorphous (NH4, K)2AlH(PO4)2 .4H2O, and then crystalline (NH4, K)AlPO4OH.2H2O. However, the pH ranges of the formation of these products in ammonium system were different from potassium system. NH4-taranakite formed from pH 2.75 to PH 5.75, whereas K-taranakite formed in the pH range of 3.00 to 5.00. From the theoretical calculation by a computer program (GEOCHEM version 2.0), NH4-taranakite and K-taranakite could form at the pH from 1.50 to 8.30 and from 1.25 to 8.45,respectively. These pH ranges were much wider than the experimental results. The difference between the experimental data and theoretical data was attributed to the lack of kinetic data and/or the incompleteness and inaccuracy of the thermodynamic data in the data base of the program. The PH ranges of the formation of the taranakites indicated that the taranakites could exist in the immediate vicinity of phosphate fertilizer zone as reaction products of phosphate fertilizers with soils, especially acidic soils, resulting in the fixation of not only phosphate but also nitrogen and/or potassium in soils.

Phosphate Distribution and Movement in Soil－Root In－terface Zone：Ⅲ．Dynamics

The depletion rate of phosphate in the soil-root interface zone increased along with growth and phosphateuptake of wheat or maize, which indicated that the phosphate distribution in soil near the root surfaceagreed well with the phosphate movement in rhizosphere and phosphate uptake by plant. The relativeaccumulation zone of phosphate within 0.5 mm apart from the root surface developed at the 15th day or soafter cultivating wheat or maize since the root phosphate secretion increased gradually in this stage. Thephosphate distribution in the soil-root interface zone against the growing time (t) and the distance from theroot plane (x) could be described by the non-linear regression equation with the third powers of x and t.

Assessment of Cation Exchange Membrane Method and Estimation of Potassium Critical Values

Soil and tissue analyses are usually used in identifying potassium(K) deficiencies and predicting K fertilizer requirements of crops.The critical levels of both soil and fresh leaf tissue at seventh leaf stage were developed and assessed for canola,chickpea and sunflower grown on two Saskatchewan,soils,with six rates of K fertilizer supply, in a growth chamber experiment.The available potassium in soils was determined by two methods:1)resin strip extraction, and 2) NH4OAC extraction. The potassium in fresh leaves was determined at seventh leaf stage by a simple procedure using a common garlic press and injector to extract the plant sap and testing the sap with a handheld ion selection electrode meter. The results shoWed significant relationships between the resin strip extractable K and NH4OAC extractable K, and between the plant uptake of total K and the supply of available K in the soils determined by the two methods. Good relationships were also found between the potassium in fresh leaves and the plant uptake of total K for canola, chickpea and sunflower.The resin strip extraction for K was calibrated using common NH4OAC extraction, and recommended for routine analyses because of its simplicity and sensitivity.

Phosphate Distribution and Movement in Soil－Root In－terface Zone：I． The Influence of Transpiration Rate

The experiments were conducted in the artificial climate laboratory using ￣(32)P labelled soil and soil-rootplane system to investigate phosphate distribution and its movement in the soil-root interface zone andtheir relations with phosphate uptake by plant as well as transpiration rate (atmosphere humidity). It wasfound that although the phosphate in the soilroot interface zone was of depletive distribution as a functionC/Co = ax￣b(C/Co is the relative content of fertilizer phosphate in a distance from the root surface x, aand b are the regression constants), and a relative accumulation zone of phosphate within 0.5 mm near theroot surface was often observed especially in the heavier texture soils because of root phosphate secretion.The depletion intensity of phosphate in the soil-root interface zone was in agreement with the phosphateuptake by plants under two humidities very well. However, the effects of air humidity on characteristics ofthe phosphate distribution near wheat or maize root surface were different. Wheat grew better under loweratmosphere humidity while maize, under higher humidity, which caused a more intensive uptake and thusa stronger depletion of phosphate in the rhizosphere. Moreover, the depletion intensity was greater by thebottom or the middle part of wheat roots and by the top or the middle part of maize roots. The depletivedistribution of phosphate in the rhizosphere soil and the relative contribution of phosphate diffusion to plant,which was more than 98% in the cultural experiments, indicated that diffusion was a major process forphosphorus supply to plants.

Mathematical Analyses for the Influence of Soil Conditions and Nutrient Interactions on Cotton Yields

The influence of soil chemical properties and soil nutrition on cotton yields was studied by means of establishing mathematical models.The nultivarate quadratic regression equations developed by a stepwise regression method not only presented the single effect of soil factors but also displayed the interaction(synergistic or antagonistic) of soil nutrients.The effect of individual factor and the way of nutrient interaction were further analysed by the path analysis method.The results showed that among major factors affecting cotton yields,there existed the interactions between macronutrients(available P× available K),and between macronutrients and microelements(N×Zn,P×Mo,P×Cu,P×Zn,K×Mo)besides the single effect of soil pH,total P ,available Cu and available Zn.

Effects of Electrolyte Anions and pH on Adsortpion of Sulfate by Variable Charge Soils

The effects of three electrolyte anions,ionic strength and pH on the adsorption of sulfate by two variable charge soils,with different surface charge properties were studied.Under the conditions of the same pH and ionic strength the effect of electrolyte anions on the adsorption of sulfate was in the order of Cl^->NO3^->ClO4^-,indicating the difference of the nature among these three anions.For ferralsol in the same concentration of chloride and perchloride solutions,the two sulfate adsorption-pH curves could intersect at certain pH value.When pH was higher than the intersecting point.more sulfate was adsorbed in the perchloride solution,while when it was lower than the intersecting point,more sulfate was adsorbed in the chloride solution.In different concentratioins of electrolyte solution,the curves of the amount of oxy-acid anion adsorbed,which changed with pH,could intersect at a certain pH,which is termed point of zero salt effect(PZSE) on adsortpion.The nature of electrolyte anions influenced obviously the appearace of PZSE for sulfate adsorption.For ferralsol the curves of adsorption converged to about pH 7 in NaCl solution seemed to intersect in NaNO3 solution and to have a typical PZSE for sulfate adsorption in NaClO4 solution,For Acrisol the three curves of adsorption were nearly parallel in NaCl and NaNO3 solutions and converged to pH 6.5 in NaClO4 solution.

Mineralogy of Selected Paddy Soils in Southeastern China

Limited information is available concerning the mineralogy of paddy soils in the southeastern China.Using chemical methods in conjunction with X-ray diffractometry, we studied the mineral composition of three paddy soils: Jinghua (paddy soil on Quaternary red clay), Fuyang (Hapl-percogenic loamy paddy soil), and Shaoxing (gleyic clayey paddy soil). All the soils contained quartz, mica, vermiculite, chlorite and kaolinite, and the distribution of these minerals varied with soil particle size fractions. The clay fraction of the F’uyang and Shaoxing soils also contained smectite. Although X-ray data did not show the presence of smectite in the Jinghua soil, this mineral was identified by the chemical method, suggesting a transitional property of the mineral in the soil. Hydroxy-Al interlayered minerals were also present in the clay fraction.The amount of smectite in the soils was 31.6 (Shaoxing), 16.5 (Fuyang), and 21.4 (Jinghua) g kg-1; for vermiculite it was 33.3 (Shaoxing), 16.5 (Fuyang), and 8.5 (Jinghua) g kg-1. Smectite was only found in the clay fraction. In contrast, amounts of vermiculite in soil particle size fractions were 3.0～11.4 (sand),2.1～6.0 (coarse silt), 4.6～18.9 (medium silt), 0.9～40.0 (fine silt), and 17.0～108 (clay) g kg-1. The amount of noncrystalline aluminosilicates in the soils in g kg-1 decreased in the order: Shaoxing (2.4) > Jinghua (1.9) > Fuyang (1.7). This study has provided useful mineralogical information that is fundamental in future developmellt of management strategies of the soils.

Characteristics of Oxides in Argillic Soils of Warm Tem-perate Zone in China

Studies of seven typical soil profiles showed that in the argillic soils derived from loess in the warmtemperate zone of China all the oxides of Fe, Mn, Al and Si were enriched with the accumulation of clayfraction in the profiles. But owing to the influence of oxidation-reduction process the migration velocity ofFe and Mn was faster than that of clay. The free degrees of those metals were in the sequence Mn>Fe>Al,which reflected their different chemical activities in soil. In soils at the same level of development, the freedegree of iron and its activity, the free degree of Al, Alo/Alt× 100, SiO_2/R_2O_3, Sio/Sit× 100, and themagnetic susceptibility were relatively close to each other respectively. It might be considered that both thefres degrees of Fe and Al and Alo/Alt× 100 could serve as the distinctive indexes for argillic soils in warmtemperate zone. The paleoclimate corresponding to the fifth layer of paleosol (s_5) in Lnochuan, Shaanxiwas warmer and more humid than the present, and the paleoecological landscape approximated to today'sbioclimatic belt between the temperate deciduous broadleaved forest and the semiarid forest types.The Mossbouer spectra of the colloidal fraction (<1um) in the clayified horizon of argillic dark loessialsoil, cinnamon soil, brown earth and (s_5) paleosol indicated the superparamagnetic state at room temperature.The magnetic splitting six line spectra were observed clearly at 80 K. The results fitted with a computershowed that hematite and goethite were predominant in iron oxides and commonly existed as fine particles.The proportion of hematite and goethite in soil colloids varied considerably with different climates. Thehigher the temperature, the larger the proportion of hematite.

Phosphate Distribution and Movement in Soil-Root In-terface Zone: II. The Infinence of Soil Water Contentand Application Rates of Phosphate

The phosphate in the soil-root interface zone under various soil water contents and application rates ofphosphate was still of depletion distribution which could be described by a power function in the form ofC/Co= ax￣b(C/Co is the relative content of fertilized phosphate in a distance from the root surface x, a andb are the regression constants). The depletion rate of phosphate in soil near the root surface was higher andthe depletion range was narrower under lower soil moisture. On the contrary, at higher soil water content thedepletion range was wider, generally The application rate of phosphate led to the greater depletion intensityof phosphorus was higher in the heavier texture soils. In general, the depletion intensity in the soils, whichdecreased with increasing clay content or increa.sing buffering power of soil, decreased in the order as loessalsoil and black fou soil> lou soil> yellow cinnamon soil when 50 or 100 mg of phosphorus were applied in theform of KH_2PO_4. This result indicated that the phosphate distribution and its movement in the soil-rootinterface zone closely related with the buffering capacity of soil.

Extraction of Soil Boron for Predicting Its Availability to Plants

Field and greenhouse studies were conducted in Prince Edward Island (P. E.I.) on soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), red clover (Trifolium praten.se L.), alfalfa (Medieagn saliva L.), and rutabaga (Brassica napobrassica. Mill). Plant B concentrations were compared to soil B extracted by hot-water, 0.05 M HCI, 1.5 M CH3COOH and 0.01 M CaCl2. The r values for extractable soil B vs. plant B were: hot water (0.67). 0.05 M HCl (0.82), 1.5 M CH3COOH (0.78) and hot 0.01 M CaCl2(0.61). Results of soil B from the 0.05 M HCl extracts were generally found to give the best correlation and linear regression among the four extractants tested for predicting the availability of B to the plants. Overall, the 0.05 M HCl proved to be superior to hot water extraction and is recommended for predicting the available B status of the acid soils of P. E. I. The probability of error with 0.05 M HCL is less since it is shaken for a fixed period of time as opposed to subjective error which could be caused in monitoring the boiling time using hot water.
