Response of Nematodes in a Hapli-Udic Argosol to Urea Amended with Urease and Nitrification Inhibitors

Effects of urea amended with urease and nitrification inhibitors on soil nematode communities were studied in a Hapli-Udic Argosol (Cambisoi, FAO) in Liaoning Province of Northeast China. A completely random design with four treatments, i.e., conventional urea (CU), slow-release urea amended with a liquid urease inhibitor (SRU1), SRU1 + nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (SRU2), and SRU1 + nitrification inhibitor 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (SRU3) and four replicates were applied. Thirty-nine genera of nematodes were identified, with Cephalobus and Aphelenchus being dominant; and in all treatments, the dominant trophic group was bacterivores. In addition, during the growth period of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), soil urease activity was lower in SRUs than in CU. The numbers of total nematodes and bacterivores at wheat heading and ripening stages, and omnivores-predators at ripening stage were higher in SUR3 than in CU, SRU1 and SRU2 (P < 0.05).

Binding and Adsorption Energies of Heavy Metal Ions with Hapli-Udic Argosol and Ferri-Udic Argosol Particles

Gibbs free binding energy and adsorption energy between cations and charged soil particles were used to evaluate the interactions between ions and soil particles.The distribution of Gibbs free adsorption energies could not be determined experimentally before the development of Wien effect measurements in dilute soil suspensions.In the current study,energy relationships between heavy metal ions and particles of Hapli-Udic Argosol(Alfisol)and Ferri-Udic Argosol were inferred from Wien effect measurements in dilute suspensions of homoionic soil particles(<2μm)of the two soils,which were saturated with ions of five heavy metals,in deionized water.The mean Gibbs free binding energies of the heavy metal ions with Hapli-Udic Argosol and Ferri-Udic Argosol particles diminished in the order of Pb^(2+)>Cd^(2+)>Cu^(2+)>Zn^(2+)>Cr^(3+),where the range of binding energies for Hapli-Udic Argosol(7.25-9.32 kJ mol^(-1))was similar to that for Ferri-Udic Argosol(7.43-9.35 kJ mol^(-1)).The electrical field-dependent mean Gibbs free adsorption energies of these heavy metal ions for Hapli-Udic Argosol and for Ferri-Udic Argosol descended in the order:Cu^(2+)≥Cd^(2+)≥Pb^(2+)>Zn^(2+)>Cr^(3+), and Cd^(2+)>Cu^(2+)>Pb^(2+)>Zn^(2+)>Cr^(3+),respectively.The mean Gibbs free adsorption energies of Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+),Cd^(2+), Pb^(2+),and Cr^(3+)at a field strength of 200 kV cm^(-1),for example,were in the range of 0.8-3.2 kJ mol^(-1)for the two soils.

商丹盆地黄土母质发育土壤的微形态特征及其诊断意义

阐明商丹盆地黄土母质发育土壤的微形态特征及其诊断意义。以茶房村土壤剖面为研究对象，在Lical 偏光显微镜下对土壤形成物、粗颗粒、孔隙等微形态单元的类型、空间分布及变化进行了研究。结果表明，与上部淋溶层和下部母质层相比，Bt 层（110~230 cm）黏土大量聚集且淀积黏土含量/残积黏土含量的比值（Ki/r）很高、但黏土胶膜不发育，粗颗粒数量减少、粒径降低孔隙个体增大，边沿更加平滑；矿物成分趋于单一。这些微形态特征证实了 Bt 属于典型的“黏化层”，结合成土因素检索，此土壤可归为简育湿润淋溶土。
