Abstract We summarize progress with respect to (1) different approaches isolate, extract, and quantify organo‐mineral compounds from soils, (2) types of mineral surfaces associated interactions, (3) the distribution function soil biota at surfaces, (4) content associations, (5) factors controlling turnover organic matter (OM) in associations temperate soils. Physical fractionation achieves a rough separation between plant residues mineral‐associated OM, which makes density or particle‐size...
Abstract Traditionally, the selective preservation of certain recalcitrant organic compounds and formation humic substances have been regarded as an important mechanism for soil matter (SOM) stabilization. Based on a critical overview available methods results from cooperative research program, this paper evaluates how relevant recalcitrance is long‐term stabilization SOM or its fractions. Methodologically, difficult to assess, since persistence fractions specific may also be caused by other...
ABSTRACT Residues of pharmaceutical antibiotics are found in the environment, whose fate and effects governed by sorption. Thus, extent mechanisms soil sorption p ‐aminobenzoic acid five sulfonamide (sulfanilamide, sulfadimidine, sulfadiazine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfapyridine) were investigated using topsoils fertilized unfertilized Chernozem their organic–mineral particle‐size fractions. Freundlich adsorption coefficients ( K f ) ranged from 0.5 to 6.5. Adsorption increased with aromaticity...
The chemical nature of soil organic nitrogen (N) is still poorly understood and one-third to one-half it typically classified as `unknown N'. Nitrogen K-edge XANES spectroscopy has been used develop a systematic overview on spectral features all major N functions in environmental samples. absolute calibration the photon energy was completed using 1s → π* transitions pure gas-phase N2. On this basis library provided for mineral N, nitro amino acids, peptides, substituted pyrroles, pyridines,...
Biocrusts are associations of various prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms in the top millimeters soil, which can be found every climate zone on Earth. They stabilize soils introduce carbon nitrogen into this compartment. The worldwide occurrence biocrusts was proven by numerous studies Europe, Africa, Asia North America, leaving South America understudied. Using an integrative approach, combines morphological molecular characters (small subunit rRNA ITS region), we examined diversity...
Summary Heavy density fractions of soil contain organic matter tightly bound to the surface minerals. The chemical composition and ecological meaning non‐metabolic decomposition products microbial metabolites in organic–mineral bonds is poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated heavy fraction (density > 2 g cm –3 ) from topsoil a Gleysol (Bainsville, Ottawa, Canada). It accounted for 952 kg –1 contained 19 C. Pyrolysis‐field ionization mass spectra showed intensive signals...
Summary We should know the effects of soil use and management on contents forms phosphorus (P) resulting potential for leaching losses P to prevent eutrophication surface water. determined test values, amounts sequentially extracted P, sorption capacities degrees saturation in 20 differently treated soils compared these data with lysimeters. One‐way analyses variance indicated that most fractions were significantly influenced by texture, land (grassland, arable or fallow reafforestation),...
Abstract Plaggen soils were produced by farmers in the sandy lowlands of Denmark, NW Germany, Belgium, and Netherlands long‐term application plaggen manure. The present paper summarizes genesis, properties, landscape impact soils. objectives methods management are outlined. Evidence for can be traced back to late Bronze Age. It has continued until last century. Numerous references indicate geographical expansion over Europe. various conditions soil formation reflected their basic physical...
Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi have been shown to affect metal transfer from the soil host plant, but use of these for increased phytoextraction heavy metals has scarcely investigated. Therefore, a two‐factorial pot experiment was conducted with Salix × dasyclados and (1) two contaminated soils different concentrations NH 4 NO 3 ‐extractable (2) strains ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus (one strain originating noncontaminated site—Pax1, another site—Pax2). The inoculation Pax2...
