摘要: Current work proposes an innovative wheat straw biomass utilization strategy that connects efficient lignocellulose biodegradation with exo-polysaccharide (EPS) production in I. obliquus under submerged fermentation. The addition of Tween 80 increased the activities of ligninolytic enzymes MnP, LiP and Lac by 1200%, 125% and 39.9%, respectively. When wheat straw lignin recalcitrance was substantially reduced with the aid of Tween 80, I. obliquus was capable of utilizing the substrates and in turn accumulated EPS. The degradation of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin reached 46.1%, 46.4% and 44.1% on Day 9 of growth, respectively. Meanwhile, the maximum mycelial biomass and EPS production increased by 23.3% and 142.9%, respectively. The EPS had higher contents of sugar, protein, uronic acid, and mannose ratio, and higher antioxidant activity against 2, 2 - diphenyl - 1 - picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2, 2 - azinobis - (3 - ethylbenzothiazoline - 6 - sulfonic acid) (ABTS^•+) and hydroxyl radicals.

摘要: Anthropogenic impacts on lake ecosystems have increased substantially towards the present. However, the strength and timing in most cases are not evaluated in detail, missing valuable information on the response and recovery of an aquatic system. In this study, we use the sediment total organic carbon/total nitrogen ratio (C/N) and inductively coupled-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) elements and the available information about the biological processes to explore anthropogenic land use impact on the lake ecosystem. As a case study we selected a hemiboreal lake Trikātas (Latvia, NE Europe). The Pearson correlation was used to statistically test the correlations of all variables. Our results show that the C/N ratio lowered immediately with the onset of crop cultivation at 500 BCE. Extensive forest clearance and an abrupt increase in land use are reflected through the associated chemical elements from ICP-OES and the increasing presence of herbivore dung spores since 1200 CE. These changes concur with the excess of fish remains suggesting a decrease in fish populations. Interestingly, anthropogenic land use driven erosion and accompanied calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) matter influx favoured the abundance of Chara spp. in Lake Trikātas since 500 CE, which currently forms the protected specific habitat-type (H3140) of the European Union. At present, specific submerged macrophyte Chara habitat-type diminished almost entirely due to increased nutrient input, phytoplankton blooming, hypertrophic conditions and reduced light availability. The continued land use practices led to a switch in organic matter source in the lake from macrophytes to solely algal origin. The current study underlines the need of additional methods used to detect the sensitivity of lake ecosystem to external disturbances such as minor anthropogenic land use that might not necessarily be apparent in more traditional analyses such as palynology.

摘要: Mangroves sequester large amounts of carbon in soils but limited information is available on carbon losses from tropical mangrove systems. Here we quantify carbon outwelling, CO₂ emissions and pore-water exchange rates from two nearby (∼2 km apart) tropical mangrove creeks located in different geomorphic settings on the island of Palau, Micronesia during the monsoonal storm season. On average, POC and pCO₂ were >100% higher and DOC, DIC and TA were 62%, 25%, 16% higher, respectively, from Creek 1 (located within a semi-enclosed bay) than from Creek 2 (located along the coast adjacent to fringing reefs). Both creeks were net exporters of DIC, DOC, POC and emitters of CO₂. However, outwelling rates of POC, DIC and DOC and CO₂ emissions were 27-fold, 8-fold, 4-fold and 3-fold higher at Creek 1. DIC outwelling (37%) and CO₂ emissions (39%) were the major terms contributing to total carbon losses at Creek 1, whilst CO₂ emission (61%) was the major contributor at Creek 2. Monsoon storms appeared to explain the organic carbon dynamics whilst tidal pumping appears to drive the inorganic carbon dynamics at both creeks. Our data demonstrates the considerable heterogeneity of mangroves creeks that are in close proximity and subject to similar weather conditions but in differing geomorphological settings.

摘要: Humic waters (HW) are globally unique, deep underground, dark-brown waters containing humic acids, and they present numerous therapeutic activities including anti-inflammatory. In the present study, we use HW from source in Poland. Diabetes has become an epidemic and is a risk factor of cardiovascular diseases. Hyperglycemia in diabetes is responsible for damaging of the endothelium and increases inflammation on the surface of the vascular lining. The inflammatory process in diabetes is associated with the secretion of inflammatory cytokines by endothelial cells, e.g., tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), and with the reduction of cell proliferation. In the study, we used cultures of endothelial cells (HUVEC line—human umbilical vein endothelial cells) with the addition 30 mM/L of glucose in the culture medium which imitated the conditions of uncontrolled diabetes. The addition of HW in the proper volume to the culture medium causes reduction of inflammation by significant decrease in inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα and IL-6 and also leads to enhancement of the cell proliferation. It appears that the adverse effects of hyperglycemia on vascular endothelial cells may be corrected by addition of humic water. The above promising results of in vitro tests provide an opportunity to the possible use of humic water in the supportive treatment of endothelial dysfunction disorders in diabetes. However, this issue requires further clinical research.

摘要: Ongoing permafrost thaw in the Arctic may remobilize large amounts of old organic matter. Upon transport to the Siberian shelf seas, this material may be degraded and released to the atmosphere, exported off‐shelf or buried in the sediments. While our understanding of the fate of permafrost‐derived organic matter in shelf waters is improving, poor constraints remain regarding degradation in sediments. Here, we use an extensive dataset of organic carbon concentrations and isotopes (n=109) to inventory terrigenous organic carbon (terrOC) in surficial sediments of the Laptev and East Siberian Seas (LS+ESS). About 55 % of these ~2.7 Tg terrOC appear resistant to degradation on a millennial timescale. A first‐order degradation rate constant of 1.5 kyr‐1 is derived by combining a previously established relationship between water depth and cross‐shelf sediment‐terrOC transport time with mineral‐associated terrOC loadings. This yields a terrOC degradation flux of ~1.7 Gg yr‐1 from surficial sediments during cross‐shelf transport, which is orders of magnitude lower than earlier estimates for degradation fluxes of dissolved and particulate terrOC in the water column of the LS+ESS. The difference is mainly due to the low degradation rate constant of sedimentary terrOC, likely caused by a combination of factors: (i) the lower availability of oxygen in the sediments compared to fully oxygenated waters, (ii) the stabilizing role of terrOC‐mineral associations and (iii) the higher proportion of material that is intrinsically recalcitrant due to its chemical/molecular structure in sediments. Sequestration of permafrost‐released terrOC in shelf sediments may thereby attenuate the otherwise expected permafrost carbon‐climate feedback.

摘要: Permafrost thaw is projected to restructure the connectivity of surface and subsurface flowpaths, influencing export dynamics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) through Arctic watersheds. Resulting shifts in flowpath exchange between both soil horizons (organic‐mineral) and landscape positions (hillslope‐riparian) could alter DOM mobility and molecular‐level patterns in chemical composition. Using conservative tracers, we found relatively rapid lateral flows occurred across a headwater Arctic tundra hillslope, as well as along the mineral‐permafrost interface. While pore waters collected from the organic horizon were associated with plant‐derived molecules, those collected from permafrost‐influenced mineral horizons had a microbial origin, as determined by fluorescence spectroscopy. Using high‐resolution NMR spectroscopy, we found that riparian DOM had greater structural diversity than hillslope DOM, suggesting riparian soils could supply a diverse array of compounds to surface waters if terrestrial‐aquatic connectivity increases with warming. In combination, these results suggest integrating DOM mobilization with its chemical and spatial heterogeneity can help predict how permafrost loss will structure ecosystem metabolism and carbon‐climate feedbacks in Arctic catchments with similar topographic features.

摘要: N₂ production by denitrification can occur in anoxic water or potentially inside organic particles. Here we compare data from the Black Sea, a permanently anoxic basin, during two organic matter regimes: suspended particulate organic matter concentrations were high in the oxycline after the spring bloom in March 2005 compared to lower organic matter concentrations in June 2005, May and October 2007, July 2008 and May 2001. For all cruises, N₂ gas had a maximum in the suboxic zone [O₂ <10 μmol L^‐1]. During the high organic matter event [March 2005], an additional shallower N₂ gas and δ¹⁵N‐N₂ maxima occurred above the suboxic zone in the oxycline where oxygen concentrations were 30‐50 μmol L^‐1. Examination of 16S rRNA indicated that anammox bacteria were not present in the oxycline. The δ¹⁵N of biologically produced N₂ in the oxycline in March 2005 was significantly enriched (+7 to +38‰), not depleted, as would be expected from water column fractionation. A simple diffusion calculation indicated that ammonium produced from remineralization inside particles could be oxidized to nitrate and then completely consumed by denitrification inside the particle. In this calculation, half of denitrified N atoms originated from organic N [δ¹⁵N = 11‰] and half of N atoms originated from ambient nitrate [δ¹⁵N = 5‐7‰], producing enriched δ¹⁵N‐N₂ values. We suggest that denitrifiers were active in microzones inside particulates in hypoxic waters above the suboxic zone of the Black Sea. Denitrification in particles may also explain previous data from the oxycline above ocean oxygen deficient zones.

摘要: Desertification is a serious environmental problem on the Tibetan Plateau and various strategies, such as long‐term fencing and grazing management, have been implemented in that region to control the soil degradation. However, little is known about the role of interactions among the soil aggregate, microbial communities, and nutrient traits in the soil restoration. In this study, we compared the effects of different restoration strategies on the formation of aggregates, the amount and distribution of soil nutrients, as well as the abundance and diversity of bacteria in a sandy soil of grassland at the Tibetan Plateau. The results demonstrated that both the grazing exclusion (GE: artificial planting and nutrient addition) and wise grazing (WG: artificial planting and nutrient addition with controlled grazing) treatments significantly increased the proportion of macroaggregates (4.0 and 5.2 times, P < 0.05) compared with the control. Increased soil organic carbon (SOC), total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) were found in the aggregates of WG treatment, but not in the GE samples. In addition, WG significantly changed the bacterial composition and increased bacterial abundance in soil. This study evaluated WG as an efficient management for restoration of degraded sandy grassland in the Tibetan Plateau since it significantly enriched the soil nutrients, improved the soil structure and increased bacterial abundance. This is the first study to relate the aggregates with nutrient accumulation and bacterial community during the soil restoration in the Tibetan Plateau.

摘要: Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) dechlorination affected by humic acids (HA) was evaluated in terms of HA redox capacity, HA concentrations, and microbial community, as well as the correlation between HA redox capacity values and HCB concentrations. With addition of HA in the initial stage, redox capacity values increased by 2.19 meq/L (80 mg/L of HA addition, HA₈₀), 2.51 meq/L (120 mg/L of HA addition, HA₁₂₀), and 3.64 meq/L (200 mg/L of HA addition, HA₂₀₀), respectively. The addition of HA could prominently enhance the HCB degradation rate. However, the concentration and the redox capacity of HA decreased during the anaerobic digestion process. Illumina MiSeq sequencing showed that microbial community affected by HA. Bacillus, Comamonas, and Pseudomonas were the predominant genera during the HCB dechlorination treatment. Moreover, Bacillus and Pseudomonas can improve HA electron transfer capability and promote the dechlorination of HCB.

摘要: Aims: We studied the effects of mixing rice straw and hairy vetch plant residues in a subtropical paddy soil, on subsequent carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics. Methods: Using a theoretical framework, we designed two groups of experiments (involving equal amounts of residual C or N addition, referred to as either C or N treatments). Each experiment included mixed residues of rice straw and hairy vetch at different mixing ratios. Soils together with residues were incubated at 25 °C under waterlogged conditions for 100 days. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and soil C and N fractions were measured continuously. Results: Both C and N treatments affected soil C and N dynamics, and these dynamics were quantitatively dependent on residue C/N ratios. The effect of residue mixtures on C and N dynamics could not be predicted from single residues, since there were non-additive effects of residue mixtures. Synergistic effects were generally more frequent than antagonistic effects. Residue mixtures tended to enhance CO₂ and CH₄ emissions in both C and N treatments but decreased N₂O emissions in the N treatment. In the N treatment, dissolved organic C (DOC), dissolved organic N (DON), and microbial biomass C (MBC) concentrations increased. DOC and DON concentrations decreased in the C treatment. Residue mixtures enhanced the global warming potentials (GWP) of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted from soil by non-additive synergistic effects. The C/N ratio of residue mixtures affected the non-additive responses of soil C and N dynamics, for example mixtures with a C/N ratio of 25 had higher CO₂ emissions and DOC concentrations than those with a C/N ratio of 35 as a consequence of non-additive effects, however, CH₄ emissions and MBC concentrations were higher in mixtures with a C/N ratio of 35 than in mixtures with a C/N ration of 25. Conclusions: These results indicated that non-additive effects can impact soil C and N dynamics and that residue C/N ratios play an important role in influencing non-additive effects. Applying a single residue to paddy soils may be better than residue mixtures from a GWP mitigation perspective.

摘要: In this study, a simple submersible device was tested to remove and recover Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) from model wastewater and real natural water. To obtain this device, fine particles (< 0.1 mm) of a new hybrid adsorbent based on the mesoporous carbon and Fenton-modified humic acids were fixed onto a highly porous polymeric matrix. The hybrid adsorbent was characterized by various methods. The main mechanism for Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) adsorption by the hybrid adsorbent is chemosorption by surface functional groups, the total concentration of which was found to be 1.56 mmol g⁻¹. The adsorption capacity depends on pH, and at pH 6.0, it has the following order (mmol g⁻¹): Cu(II) (1.14) > Pb(II) (0.86) > Zn(II) (0.59) > Cd(II) (0.50). The possibility of applying a submersible device for the removal and recovery of these metals from multi-metal wastewaters and reservoirs was studied. A high efficiency of metal removal (95–99.9%) and recovery (85–99%) from wastewater remained in at least six consecutive adsorption–desorption cycles. Effective removal of metals from the water of a contaminated reservoir contributed to the rapid restoration of the phytoplankton organisms after their oppression by metals. Thus, the use of a submerged device with the new hybrid adsorbent can be an effective way of remediating wastewaters and natural waters contaminated with metals.

摘要: Removal and recovery of phosphorus (P) from sewage are essential for sustainable development of P resource. Based on the water quality determination of sludge dewatering filtrate from a wastewater treatment plant in Beijing, this study investigated the adsorption and regeneration characteristics of P by magnetic anion exchange resin (MAEX). The experiments showed that the P adsorption capacity of MAEX could reach a maximum of 2.74 mg/mL when initial P concentration was 25 mg/L and dosage of MAEX was 8 mL/L. The P adsorption on MAEX resin was suitable for large temperature range (283–323 K). However, the adsorption capacity was reduced in various degrees due to the interference of different anions (Br⁻, SO₄²⁻, Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, HCO₃⁻, CO₃²⁻) and organic compounds (bovine serum albumin, humic acid). Kinetics studies indicated that the P adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model. The MAEX resin had a rapid P adsorption rate and the P adsorption capacity at 30 min could reach 97.7–99.3% of q_e. Increase of temperature was favorable to P adsorption on MAEX, and the adsorption isotherm data fitted to Langmuir model more than Freundlich model. Meanwhile, the thermodynamics parameters were calculated; it was shown that the adsorption process was an endothermic reaction. Desorption and regeneration experiments showed that NaHCO₃ was a suitable regenerant, and the P adsorption capacity could reach 90.51% of the original capacity after 10 times of adsorption-desorption cycles; this indicated that MAEX resin has an excellent regeneration performance and thus has a very good application prospect of P removal and recovery. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed that ion exchange, charge attraction, and hydrogen bonding affected the removal of P by the MAEX resin. The vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis revealed that MAEX resin was a kind of soft magnetic materials with good magnetism.

摘要: Purpose: Tobacco stems collected from tobacco cultivation fields were pyrolyzed to produce value-added biochar that was used to remediate metal-contaminated soil which was then used for tobacco cultivation. The feasibility of the scheme was evaluated. Materials and methods: A pot experiment was carried out to assess the impacts of tobacco stem-derived biochar (TSB 0, 2, 4, and 8%) on tobacco growth and leaf yields, soil properties, the availability of soil Cr, Cu, and Pb, and the accumulation of the three metals in tobacco plants. Results and discussion: Soil pH, organic matter content, and available phosphorus content increased with increasing application of TSB from 2 to 8% compared to the control (no biochar addition). In contrast, the acid-soluble and the reducible fractions of soil Cu and the reducible fraction of soil Pb and Cr decreased markedly, and the oxidizable fraction of the metals increased significantly with increasing application of TSB. This indicates that adding more TSB led to increasing immobilization of all three metals in the soil. Furthermore, both the number of tobacco leaves and the foliar biomass increased significantly with the addition of TSB to the soil. Based on our data, 4% is an economically suitable application rate of TSB for decreasing metal accumulation in plants and increasing tobacco leaf yields. Conclusions: The results indicate that it is feasible to use biochar derived from tobacco stem waste to remediate metal-contaminated soils which can then be used for tobacco cultivation. This is very useful in the recycling of the waste biomass and for remediation of soil metal pollution.

摘要: Purpose: Humins, as solid-phase redox mediators, are important for enhancing anaerobic biotransformation processes. Although humins are broadly distributed in estuarine and marine sediments, to date, their electron transfer capacity (ETC) from marine sediments has been poorly characterized. This study determined the potential of humins as redox mediators for microbial redox metabolic reactions in sediments along a transect from the Yangtze Estuary to the adjacent East China Sea and analyzed their electron-mediating characteristics. Materials and methods: Comparative analyses of humins in sediments along this transect were conducted to investigate their ETC as redox mediators for microbial redox metabolic reactions, namely dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), using Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Elemental composition, electrochemical, and Fourier transform infrared analyses were performed to better understand the functional redox groups in humins. Results and discussion: All the humins functioned as solid-phase redox mediators and enhanced DIR and DNRA by Shewanella oneidensis, although with varying efficacy. The humins extracted from sampling site P1 (P1-HM), located close to the Yangtze Estuary, most effectively enhanced iron and nitrate reduction without nitrite accumulation. Electrochemical analysis confirmed the highest redox activity and ETC in P1-HM and a weakening trend of ETC with increasing distance from the estuary. Fourier transform infrared analysis suggested that quinone moieties might serve as key redox functional groups in humins. Conclusions: Considering their high yield and ETC, P1-HM could be important redox mediators that influence microbial redox metabolic reactions in sedimentary ecosystems of the Yangtze Estuary. Thus, this study provides insights into the distribution of humins, their ECT, and their potential role as redox mediators for microbial redox reactions, which could improve understanding of elemental biogeochemical cycling processes involving microorganisms in the Yangtze Estuary and East China Sea sedimentary ecosystems and provide important reference information for researches on other estuary areas.

摘要: The simultaneous fate of organic matter and 4 endocrine disruptors (3 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, and benzo(a)pyrene) and nonylphenols (NP)) was studied during the anaerobic digestion followed by composting of sludge at lab-scale. Sludge organic matter was characterized, thanks to chemical fractionation and 3D fluorescence deciphering its accessibility and biodegradability. Total chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was 41% and 56% during anaerobic digestion and composting, respectively. 3D fluorescence highlighted the quality changes of organic matter. During continuous anaerobic digestion, organic micropollutants’ removal was 22 ± 14%, 6 ± 5%, 18 ± 9%, and 0% for fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, and nonylphenols, respectively. Discontinuous composting allowed to go further on the organic micropollutants’ removal as 34 ± 8%, 31 ± 20%, 38 ± 10%, and 52 ± 6% of fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, and nonylphenols were dissipated, respectively. Moreover, the accessibility of PAH and NP expressed by their presence in the various sludge organic matter fractions and its evolution during both treatments was linked to both the quality evolution of the organic matter and the physicochemical properties of the PAH and NP; the presence in most accessible fractions explained the amount of PAH and NP dissipated.

摘要: In this study, a new type of composite material, namely modified biochar (MBC), was synthesized by loading the magnetic ferromanganese oxide nanoparticles on pine biochar. BET, SEM, and FTIR were employed to analyze the surface properties and pore structures of MBC. In addition, XRD was adopted to examine the crystal structure of MBC. Characterization results showed that the surface area and porosity of MBC have been greatly improved, and the functional groups have been introduced by ferromanganese oxides. Adsorption experiments of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) including kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics as well as the influence of pH, salt ion strength, and the environmental risk of MBC, were evaluated. The results revealed that the experimental data conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm model. In the adsorption process, MBC showed excellent adsorption ability (maximum capacity for TC 100.74 mg g⁻¹) to BC (33.76 mg g⁻¹). In isotherm experiments, the maximum adsorption capacity of TC by MBC reached 177.71 mg g⁻¹. Toxicity studies showed that the MBC had no harm to the environment. To conclude, MBC has great potential for applications in removing TC from water.

摘要: Purpose: Our goal was to understand how differences in source material (allochthonous vs. autochthonous) and phytoplankton communities (diatoms vs. cyanobacteria) influence composition and settling properties of suspended particulate matter. Materials and methods: We characterized the composition and settling properties of suspended particulate matter in two systems—one which has a high hydrologic loading factor (watershed to surface area ratio), and a diatom-dominated phytoplankton community (James River Estuary, USA), and a second, where hydrologic inputs are proportionally smaller, and the summer phytoplankton community is dominated by cyanobacteria (Curonian Lagoon, Lithuania). Results and discussion: In the James, we found that TSS concentrations were positively related to discharge, whereas POC concentrations were negatively correlated with discharge and positively correlated with Chl-a. We infer that suspended particulate matter in this system was largely derived from allochthonous inputs, but that the organic matter fraction was derived from autochthonous production. In the Curonian Lagoon, TSS concentrations were correlated with Chl-a, but not discharge, indicating that suspended particulate matter was largely of autochthonous origin. In the James, the proportion of settleable materials was greater during high TSS concentrations, indicating that high discharge events delivered heavier particulates. In the Curonian Lagoon, we observed a seasonal decline in settling rates associated with the shift from mixed (diatoms and chlorophytes) to cyanobacteria-dominated phytoplankton, which we attribute to the presence of positively buoyant cyanobacteria. Conclusions: We found that a comparative approach yielded useful insights regarding sources, composition, and settling properties of suspended particulate matter in two estuaries that differ in hydrologic loading and phytoplankton community composition. Our findings suggest that the presence of positively buoyant cyanobacteria favors export losses of particulate C, N, and P to marine waters over retention through sedimentation in transitional zones.

摘要: Under conditions of increased fire season length and area affected by fire, stocks of carbon stored in forests are at increased risk of burning. While much research has investigated the immediate loss of above ground and below ground carbon stocks through combustion during a fire, there has been little research on subsequent organic matter cycling in post-fire environments. Fire can introduce new organic matter to the litter layer through the formation of a post-fire litter layer composed of debris from fire induced plant stress or death. This litter may have different chemistry and decomposition dynamics to the pre-fire litter due to the changed pathway from plant to ground and the narrow age range of the debris. In this study, litters collected from two vegetation types (Pinus and Eucalyptus dominated) and from adjacent areas either fire affected (FA) or not fire affected (NFA) were incubated as litter, or as water extracts of litter, in soils to determine fire induced changes in nutrient pools, microbial biomass and microbial activity. Post-fire litters contained more labile C (15 and 30 mg C g native/pine litter⁻¹, respectively) than litters unaffected by fire (4 mg C g litter⁻¹). Increased labile C concentration correlated (r² > 0.95) with increased microbial activity without a concurrent change in nitrogen (microbial) or phosphorus (resin and microbial) pools. Our results suggest that labile C in post-fire litter can alter microbial carbon cycling and that effects may be more pronounced under pine compared to native forest.

摘要: The development of anoxic conditions in riparian wetland (RW) soils is widely known to release dissolved phosphorus (DP), but the respective roles of reductive dissolution of Fe-oxyhydroxide, pH changes and sediment inputs in this release remain debated. This study aimed to identify and quantify these respective roles via laboratory anaerobic/aerobic incubation of RW soils with and without the addition of sediment. The investigated soils came from two RWs with contrasting P status and organic matter (OM) content in their soils, while the added sediment came from an adjacent cultivated field. Results showed that the amount and speciation of the DP released during anaerobic/aerobic incubations were controlled by soil P status and soil OM content. During anaerobic incubation, DP release in the soil with high extractable P and low OM contents was controlled by reductive dissolution of Fe-oxyhydroxides (83%), whereas that released in the soil with low extractable P and high OM contents was controlled by an increase in pH (88%). Anaerobic incubation of a mixture of eroded sediments and RW soils increased the release of DP, dissolved organic carbon and Fe(II) (by 16%, 4% and 18%, respectively) compared to the simple addition of the amounts released during their separate incubations. Management practices should decrease soil erosion from upland fields to avoid deposition of P-rich sediments on RW soils. Management efforts should focus preferentially on RWs whose Fe:P molar ratios in the soil solution during reduction are the lowest, since they indicate a high risk that the DP released will be transferred to watercourses.

摘要: Reclamation of marshlands for agricultural land use is widespread. An example of large-scale land use shifts is evident in the Everglades Agricultural Area of Florida where freshwater wetlands were converted to sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) production. Such land-use shifts can markedly influence soil organic matter cycling and processes. The effect of such land use change on molecular characteristics of soil organic carbon is unknown. In this study, three surface soils cores (0–5 cm, 5–10 cm, and 10–19 cm) from a representative marsh and a sugarcane field in the Florida Everglades with known land use history and management practices were characterized using pyrolysis-gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) to investigate molecular characteristics of soil organic matter. Soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen, total sulfur, and water extractable organic carbon contents in sugarcane soil were 37.02%, 2.44%, 0.46% and 0.11%, while they were 44.57%, 2.62%, 0.73% and 0.38%, respectively. On the whole, marshland reclamation to sugarcane caused increase of aromatics (from 11.37% to 13.20%), polyaromatic hydrocarbon (from 0% to 1.63%), n-alkanes (from 8.90% to 16.17%), n-alkenes (from 25.10% to 28.77%), other aliphatics (from 7.33% to 11.77%) and fatty acids (from 1.93% to 3.87%) in pyrolysis products of soil organic matter (SOM), whereas this shift reduced lignin (from 12.87% to 2.47%), phenols (from 23.33% to 16.13%), polysaccharides (from 2.40% to 1.03%), benzofuran (from 1.67% to 0.27) and nitrogen containing compounds (from 5.07% to 4.67%), respectively. Overall, the conversion of marsh to sugarcane land use not only reduced total SOC contents but also altered molecular features of SOM with significant increases in aliphatic fractions and almost complete exhaustion of lignin fractions, signifying SOC dynamic shift due to land change in the Everglades.
