Purpose

Mining has been carried out in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, since 1592, which has led to severe pollution issues affecting both the environment and human health. To address this, remediation projects have been initiated to restore the soil and its ecosystem services. These efforts involve removing the contaminants and restoring the soil’s health and quality. This study aims to assess the biochemical impact of soil remediation carried out in the field, on areas that have been heavily contaminated with heavy metals over a prolonged period.

Methods

The enzymatic activity, physiological profile, structure, and microbial diversity were used as bioindicators to assess the remediation of soil and two reference soils.

Results

The results indicated that Pb and As decreased, but not at levels indicated by Mexican regulations, Cd concentrations decreased to be below Mexican regulations, the enzymatic activity between the soil with and without remediation did not present significant differences, both with low activity, arylsulfatase was the one with the highest inhibition, and urease the most activated. The evolution of the physiological activity of the microorganisms was greater in the remediated soil. Normal values of evenness and diversity were observed in soils with and without remediation, likewise, the consumption of substrates initially was towards carbohydrates and amines/amides, but in the end, carboxylic acids and polymers were consumed.

Conclusion

The remediation process shows positive results; the recovery of soil health is in progress. It was demonstrated that the bioindicators used were adequate to evaluate the soil remediation process.

目的自 1592 年以来,墨西哥圣路易斯波托西一直在进行采矿活动,这导致了严重的污染问题,对环境和人类健康都造成了影响。为解决这一问题,墨西哥启动了修复项目,以恢复土壤及其生态系统服务。这些工作包括清除污染物,恢复土壤健康和质量。本研究旨在评估土壤修复对长期受到重金属严重污染地区的生化影响。方法采用酶活性、生理特征、结构和微生物多样性作为生物指标,评估土壤和两种参考土壤的修复情况。结果结果表明,铅和砷的浓度有所下降,但未达到墨西哥规定的水平;镉的浓度有所下降,低于墨西哥规定的水平;土壤中的酶活性在经过修复和未经过修复的土壤中没有明显差异,都很低,其中芳基硫酸酯酶的抑制率最高,而脲酶的活性最高。经修复的土壤中微生物生理活性的变化更大。同样,底物的消耗最初以碳水化合物和胺/酰胺为主,但最后以羧酸和聚合物为主。事实证明,所使用的生物指标足以评估土壤修复过程。

Abstract

Purpose

The chemistry of soil organic matter (SOM) is fundamental for sustainable and climate-smart agroecosystems. However, the differences in SOM chemistry between the upland and paddy soils developing under the same climatic and edaphic conditions are unclear.

Materials and methods

Py-GC/MS was applied to characterize the biochemical features of SOM in three physical size fractions: coarse particulate (> 0.25 mm, cPOM), fine particulate (0.053–0.25 mm, fPOM), and mineral-associated OM (< 0.053 mm, MAOM) of upland and paddy fields under long-term (> 30 years) mineral and manure fertilizations.

Results and discussion

Paddy fields had higher contents of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) mainly accumulated in MAOM fraction than uplands. These two soils had different molecular compositions of SOM: N-containing compounds including amino-N and heterocyclic-N compounds enriched in the uplands, whereas paddy had higher proportions of lipids and phenolics. The SOM composition was also dependent on particle size, especially in the uplands, where POM fractions had high contents of lignin and MAOM accumulated N-containing components. In contrast, POM in paddy accumulated polysaccharides, whereas MAOM was enriched with lipids. Particle size controlled the C oxidation state (Cox), and paddy soils had higher Cox than that of uplands, mainly in the MAOM fraction.

Conclusions

The molecular composition SOM was primarily regulated by land-use type, following by fraction size and fertilization regime, while the Cox was controlled by fraction size. The Cox needs more attention to understand the direction of formation of SOM fractions.

摘要 目的 土壤有机质(SOM)的化学性质对可持续发展和气候智能型农业生态系统至关重要。然而,在相同的气候和土壤条件下,高地土壤和水稻田土壤的有机质化学差异尚不清楚。 材料与方法 应用 Py-GC/MS 分析了长期(30 年)施用矿物质肥料和粪肥的高地和水田中粗颗粒(0.25 毫米,cPOM)、细颗粒(0.053-0.25 毫米,fPOM)和矿物质相关 OM(0.053 毫米,MAOM)这三种物理粒度 SOM 的生化特征。 结果与讨论 与高地相比,水田的土壤有机碳(SOC)和全氮(TN)含量较高,主要积累在 MAOM 部分。这两种土壤的 SOM 分子组成不同:高地富含含氮化合物,包括氨基-氮和杂环-氮化合物,而水稻田的脂类和酚类比例较高。SOM 的组成还与颗粒大小有关,尤其是在高地,POM 部分的木质素含量较高,而 MAOM 则含有较多的含 N 成分。相比之下,水稻中的 POM 含有多糖,而 MAOM 则富含脂类。粒径控制着 C 氧化态(Cox),水稻土的 Cox 值高于高地,主要体现在 MAOM 部分。 结论 SOM 的分子组成主要受土地利用类型的影响,其次是颗粒大小和施肥制度,而 Cox 则受颗粒大小的控制。要了解 SOM 各组分的形成方向,需要对 Cox 给予更多关注。

Purpose

This study aims to assess the spatial distribution of carbon reserves in the surface of organic and mineral soil layers, in a carbon landfill. The studied areas are located within the broad-leaved forests of the Southern Urals.

Methods

The analysis of the forest carbon cycle was conducted in early spring on trees, shrubs, and grass vegetation. Soil gas flux measurements were performed using a Smart Chamber connected to a LI-COR 7810 gas analyser. CO2 flux emission from the soil surface reached up to 493.2 Gf a day, under the tree canopy and did not exceed 471.8 Gf in uncovered areas (glades).

Results

Thus, in early spring, the CO2 flux emissions from the soil surface in forest stands is higher in absolute terms, than in uncovered areas. It can presumably be explained by the difference in vegetation cover, along with the size, depth, and spatial distribution of roots from trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants.

Conclusion

Forest litter and humus, mainly composed of potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus, are critical for maintaining the carbon balance in forest areas.

Purpose

The Buenavista del Cobre mine is in a semiarid environment in NW Mexico. A part of the mine tailings dam has been flooded with wastewater from Cananea, generating an artificial wetland. The main objectives of this work were to evaluate the effect of wastewater on the pedogenesis of wetland Technosols developed on mine tailings and to compare them with the soil of non-irrigated tailings and with a natural soil profile.

Materials and methods

Three profiles were studied inside the dam as follows: a profile under waterlogging conditions, a profile under conditions of periodic sewage saturation, and a profile with no waterlogging conditions. Laboratory methods included the micromorphological analysis of the soil structure and pedo-features, fertility properties, identification of clay minerals, and analysis of bulk chemical composition.

Results and discussion

It was found that the biogenic structure and voids associated with organic materials were the main micromorphological features of the studied wetland Technosols. Primary sulfides remained unaltered in the Technosols irrigated with wastewater, whereas incipient sulfide oxidation was observed in the non-irrigated tailings. Chlorite and smectite were detected in the Technosols. Such mineral assemblage was found to be mostly generated by hydrothermal processes.

Conclusion

Irrigation of tailings with wastewater supported the biological aggregation and porosity formation within the soil matrix, supplied plant nutrients, and enhanced the ecological soil quality of the studied hydromorphic Technosols. Saturation with wastewater hampered the oxidation of primary sulfides in the hydromorphic Technosols, preventing soil acidification and the mobilization of heavy metal contaminants.

目的 Buenavista del Cobre 矿位于墨西哥西北部的半干旱环境中。矿山尾矿坝的一部分被来自 Cananea 的废水淹没,形成了一个人工湿地。这项工作的主要目的是评估废水对在矿山尾矿上形成的湿地 Technosols 的成土过程的影响,并将其与未灌溉尾矿的土壤和自然土壤剖面进行比较。材料和方法对大坝内的三个剖面进行了研究,分别是:积水条件下的剖面、周期性污水饱和条件下的剖面和无积水条件下的剖面。实验室方法包括土壤结构和土壤特性的微观形态分析、肥力特性、粘土矿物鉴定和大体积化学成分分析。在用废水灌溉的 Technosols 中,原生硫化物保持不变,而在未灌溉的尾矿中则观察到硫化物氧化的萌芽。在技术溶胶中检测到了绿泥石和直闪石。结论用废水灌溉尾矿有助于土壤基质中生物聚集和孔隙的形成,为植物提供养分,并提高所研究的水成岩土壤的生态质量。废水饱和阻碍了水成岩硫化物的氧化,防止了土壤酸化和重金属污染物的迁移。

Purposes

This research focuses on the characterization of phosphate ore, its solid effluents, and nearby contaminated soils in the southwest Tunisia (Gafsa-Metlaoui Basin). It aims also at evaluating the vertical distribution and abundance of critical rare earth elements (REE) in the different materials and their ecological and environmental risks.

Materials and methods

The sampled materials went through physical, chemical, and mineralogical characterization which involved XRF, XPS, XRD, and ICP-MS analyses. The REE anomalies and the environmental and ecological indices were calculated.

Results and discussions

Results show relatively high concentrations of nine rare REEs, following the sequence La > Ce > Nd > Y > Gd > Eu > Sm > Yb > Tb and trace metal elements (TME) such as Cd, Cr, Mn, Zn, Co, Fe, Sr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Ba that surpass, in some cases, international standards. The vertical distribution of the studied elements within a sediment, tailings, and soil profiles (beyond 20 cm of depth) indicates their likely in-depth migration. TME- and REE-bearing phosphate samples reflect mostly oxic conditions in the southern area with high positive Eu anomalies signifying possible mixing of sources. The environmental assessment indicate no contamination and a moderate enrichment of REEs, except for Eu, which displays significant contamination and extreme enrichment. Whereas, a deficiency of Y has been detected in most of the studied samples except for sludge sample which was also found significantly enriched with REE.

Conclusions

There are fundamental similarities between the different studied samples with high carbonate mineral concentrations. Statistical analysis confirmed the spectroscopic fingerprints demonstrating that the different materials share a similar composition. All of these similarities are most likely linked to the impact of mining activities on sediments and soils. Overall, our findings highlight the global effect of ore processing in determining the geochemical and the mineralogical characteristics of the surrounding environments of mines.

目的 本研究侧重于分析突尼斯西南部(Gafsa-Metlaoui 盆地)磷矿石、其固体废物和附近受污染土壤的特征。研究还旨在评估不同材料中关键稀土元素 (REE) 的垂直分布和丰度及其生态和环境风险。结果和讨论结果表明,九种稀有稀土元素(按照 La > Ce > Nd > Y > Gd > Eu > Sm > Yb > Tb 的顺序排列)和微量金属元素(如镉、铬、锰、锌、钴、铁、锶、铜、镍、铅、钡)的浓度相对较高,在某些情况下超过了国际标准。所研究元素在沉积物、尾矿和土壤剖面(深度超过 20 厘米)中的垂直分布表明,它们可能会深入迁移。含 TME 和 REE 的磷酸盐样本主要反映了南部地区的含氧条件,其高正 Eu 异常表明可能存在混合来源。环境评估结果表明,除了 Eu 显示出严重污染和极度富集之外,REEs 没有受到污染,富集程度适中。除污泥样本外,大多数研究样本中都检测到了钇的缺乏,而污泥样本中也发现了大量富集的稀土元素。统计分析证实了光谱指纹,表明不同材料具有相似的成分。所有这些相似之处很可能与采矿活动对沉积物和土壤的影响有关。总之,我们的研究结果凸显了矿石加工在决定矿山周围环境的地球化学和矿物学特征方面的全球性影响。

Purpose

Brazilian territory is divided into six biomes (Amazon, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Caatinga, Pantanal, and Pampa) that represent important global biodiversity hotspots. Research into soil science in these environments has increased in recent years, but a quantitative and qualitative mapping of research into the soils of Brazilian biomes has never been carried out. In this study, research on soil science in the Brazilian biomes were analyzed to map the evolution, scientific collaboration, current status, research trends and impact over the last 50 years (1972–2022).

Methods

The database was obtained from the Core Collection of Web of Science. The data was quantitatively analyzed through descriptive statistics and linear regression using Microsoft Excel, and qualitatively using the bibliometric software VOSviewer.

Results

A total of 11,231 papers were obtained. The results indicated a significant increase in soil science research across all biomes (polynomial growth), with greater emphasis for research in the Cerrado (R2 = 0.9361), Amazon (R2 = 0.9170) and Atlantic Forest (R2 = 0.9104) biomes. Soil science research in the Amazon accounted for 47.0% of the research conducted in all Brazilian biomes. While in the Amazon (38.8%), Atlantic Forest (34.8%), and Pantanal (36.7%), most of the research was related to environmental sciences and ecology, in the Cerrado (47.4%), Caatinga (58.2%), and Pampa biome (48.9%), research in the field of agriculture was more significant. For all biomes, except for the Caatinga (a dry climate biome), a significant participation of international researchers and institutions was evident in the overall publications. This demonstrates a lower global interest in soil science research in the Brazilian dry ecosystem.

Conclusion

Soil science research in the Brazilian biomes is disproportionate, with greater interest in the soils of the larger forest biomes and less interest in the dry and flooded areas. The results of this study can be useful for the development of public policies, research and scientific collaboration aimed at soil conservation in Brazilian terrestrial biomes.

目的 巴西领土被划分为六个生物群落(亚马逊、大西洋森林、塞拉多、卡廷加、潘塔纳尔和潘帕),是全球生物多样性的重要热点地区。近年来,对这些环境中土壤科学的研究不断增加,但对巴西生物群落土壤研究的定量和定性调查却从未进行过。本研究对巴西生物群落的土壤科学研究进行了分析,以绘制过去 50 年(1972-2022 年)的演变、科学合作、现状、研究趋势和影响图。通过使用 Microsoft Excel 进行描述性统计和线性回归对数据进行了定量分析,并使用文献计量软件 VOSviewer 对数据进行了定性分析。结果表明,所有生物群落的土壤科学研究都有显著增长(多项式增长),其中塞拉多(R2 = 0.9361)、亚马逊(R2 = 0.9170)和大西洋森林(R2 = 0.9104)生物群落的研究更为突出。亚马逊地区的土壤科学研究占巴西所有生物群落研究的 47.0%。在亚马逊生物群落(38.8%)、大西洋森林生物群落(34.8%)和潘塔纳尔生物群落(36.7%),大部分研究与环境科学和生态学有关,而在塞拉多生物群落(47.4%)、卡廷加生物群落(58.2%)和潘帕生物群落(48.9%),农业领域的研究更为重要。在所有生物群落中,除卡廷加(气候干燥的生物群落)外,国际研究人员和机构在整个出版物中的参与程度明显较高。这表明全球对巴西干旱生态系统土壤科学研究的兴趣较低。结论:巴西生物群落的土壤科学研究比例失调,对较大森林生物群落土壤的兴趣较大,而对干旱和洪涝地区的兴趣较小。这项研究的结果有助于制定公共政策、开展研究和科学合作,以保护巴西陆地生物群落的土壤。

摘要 目的 人为影响导致土壤性质和功能发生重大变化。潜在有毒金属对土壤的污染是城市环境中的主要环境问题之一。传统的土壤监测方法虽然准确,但往往成本高昂且劳动密集,因此要捕捉城市土壤中污染物错综复杂的空间变化具有挑战性。基于 X 射线荧光(XRF)分析的近端传感被认为是快速评估土壤污染的一种经济有效的方法。评估精度取决于土壤特性(如质地、水分、有机物含量)和不同元素的检测限。这项研究旨在测试便携式 XRF 分析仪,以评估莫斯科大都市绿化区土壤中潜在有毒金属的污染情况。 材料和方法 最初,奥林巴斯 Vanta C pXRF 使用受镍、铜、铅、锌和镉人为污染的混合土壤进行校准,这些土壤代表了莫斯科城市土壤的多样性。使用线性回归法将 pXRF 结果与 ICP-OES 方法进行比较,并根据土壤特性使用回归系数为观测到的潜在有毒金属设定校正系数 (k)。随后,根据 ICP-OES 参考浓度,使用 pXRF(有校正因子和无校正因子)评估了三个不同绿化区表土污染的空间绘图精度。 结果 经校准的 pXRF 对铅(R2 = 0.94,b = 0.91,p < 0.05)、铜(R2 = 0.95,b = 0.95,p < 0.05)和锌(R2 = 0.95,b = 1.04,p < 0.由于镉的检出限较高,其在典型城市污染水平上的准确度有限(p > 0.05)。通过与健康阈值(近似允许浓度和污染指数)进行比较,确定了土壤污染的空间变异性,并根据区域环境法规确定了受土地使用限制的区域。经校正因子校准后,基于 pXRF 的绘图精度在主要地区的镍、铜和铅方面接近 ICP-OES 的精度(在 10% 的范围内)。 结论 研究表明,未经校正的 pXRF 测量结果高估了污染程度。如果针对特定的城市土壤条件进行调整,pXRF 将为评估土壤污染提供一种可行的、具有成本效益的替代方法。所开发的方法通过捕捉传统方法忽略的空间模式,提高了当地土壤污染地图的准确性和可靠性,这对于优化土壤修复成本和城市土壤的可持续管理至关重要。

Purpose

Sediments are one of the ultimate destinies of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment. This study aims to investigate the distribution, source characteristics, and ecological risks of PAHs in black-odorous urban river sediments, providing support for environmental safety assessment and pollution control.

Material and methods

A total of 173 surface sediment samples were collected and analyzed for 17 types of PAHs using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The sources of PAHs were identified using isomer ratio indicator analysis and a positive matrix factorization model (PMF). Furthermore, the health risks of the PAHs were assessed using the Sediment Quality Guidelines and the organic carbon normalization method.

Results

The total PAH concentration ranged from 0.02 to 52 μg g1 dry weight. PMF and isomer ratio indicators revealed that the predominant sources were petroleum and fuel combustion. The ratio of perylene to pentacyclic aromatic isomers was < 10 in 75% of the samples. Most areas posed a low risk.

Conclusions

PAH concentrations exceeded those typically found in lakes and river surface sediments, ordinary industrial parks, and agricultural soils. However, no distinct spatial distribution was evident. The primary contributors were fossil, coal, and biomass fuel combustion. Moreover, the source of perylene exhibited spatial variability—natural biodiagenesis in South China and anthropogenic pyrolysis in North China. These suggest that as an index to trace the sediment footprint of large river influences, its environmental significance varied with different locations. The ecological risk assessment indicated that PAHs in most polluted urban river sediments posed low to moderate risks.

目的沉积物是多环芳烃(PAHs)在环境中的最终归宿之一。本研究旨在探讨多环芳烃在城市黑臭河道沉积物中的分布、来源特征和生态风险,为环境安全评估和污染控制提供支持。材料与方法共采集表层沉积物样品 173 份,采用气相色谱-质谱联用技术(GC-MS)分析了 17 种多环芳烃。利用同分异构体比率指标分析和正矩阵因式分解模型(PMF)确定了多环芳烃的来源。此外,还采用《沉积物质量准则》和有机碳归一化方法评估了多环芳烃的健康风险。PMF 和异构体比率指标显示,主要来源是石油和燃料燃烧。在 75% 的样本中,过二甲苯与五环芳香族异构体的比率为 <10。大多数地区的风险较低。结论 多环芳烃的浓度超过了通常在湖泊和河流表层沉积物、普通工业园区和农业土壤中发现的浓度。但是,没有明显的空间分布。化石、煤炭和生物质燃料燃烧是主要的污染源。此外,高岭土的来源也具有空间差异性--华南地区为自然生物成因,华北地区为人为热解。这表明,作为追踪大江大河影响沉积物足迹的指标,其环境意义因地而异。生态风险评估表明,大多数受污染的城市河流沉积物中的多环芳烃具有低至中度风险。

Purpose

Microbial necromass carbon (C) is a major contributor to soil organic C (SOC) sequestration. Soil aggregates are key functional units in regulating SOC dynamics. Fertilization and plastic film mulching, as common agricultural management practices, affect soil aggregation and microbial activities. However, how microbial necromass C is accumulated and contributes to organic C sequestration within soil aggregates remains poorly understood, especially under fertilization combined with plastic film mulching.

Methods

We set the mulching and no-mulching sub-treatments under three long-term (28 years) fertilization treatments (no fertilization, NF; inorganic fertilization, IF; manure application, MF) and conducted a 900-day field mesocosm experiment. We quantified the proportion of microbial necromass C in organic C within soil aggregates using amino sugar biomarkers, and investigated the effects of fertilization combined with mulching on the dynamics of microbial necromass C within soil aggregates.

Results

Microbial necromass C accounted for 28.2–42.9% of organic C of macroaggregates (> 0.25 mm) and 40.4–55.8% of organic C of microaggregates (< 0.25 mm) on day 900. The proportion of fungal necromass C in organic C of soil aggregates was nearly two times more than that of bacterial necromass C within 360–900 days. Regardless of mulching or no-mulching, the MF treatment increased the microbial necromass C content within macroaggregates and microaggregates, on average, by 148.6% and 84.5% compared with the NF treatment during the entire incubation period, respectively. Mulching facilitated microbial necromass C accrual within macroaggregates under the NF and IF treatments only on day 360, but increased it under the MF treatment on both day 360 and day 900. Mulching increased the fungal necromass C content and its contribution to organic C within macroaggregates by an average of 17.4% and 11.2% under the MF treatment during the entire incubation period, respectively.

Conclusions

Manure application combined with mulching promoted organic C sequestration within macroaggregates via the accumulation of fungal necromass C.

目的微生物坏死碳(C)是土壤有机碳(SOC)螯合的主要贡献者。土壤团聚体是调节 SOC 动态的关键功能单元。施肥和塑料薄膜覆盖作为常见的农业管理方法,会影响土壤团聚和微生物活动。方法 我们在三种长期(28 年)施肥处理(不施肥,NF;无机施肥,IF;施肥,MF)下设置了地膜覆盖和不地膜覆盖子处理,并进行了为期 900 天的田间中观试验。我们利用氨基酸糖生物标记物量化了土壤团聚体中微生物坏死物质 C 在有机 C 中的比例,并研究了施肥与覆盖相结合对土壤团聚体中微生物坏死物质 C 动态变化的影响。结果 在第 900 天,微生物坏死物质 C 占大团聚体(> 0.25 mm)有机 C 的 28.2-42.9%,占微团聚体(< 0.25 mm)有机 C 的 40.4-55.8%。在 360-900 天内,土壤团聚体有机碳中真菌坏死物质碳的比例是细菌坏死物质碳的近 2 倍。在整个培养期内,无论是否覆盖地膜,MF 处理与 NF 处理相比,大聚集体和微聚集体中的微生物坏死物质 C 含量平均分别增加了 148.6% 和 84.5%。在 NF 和 IF 处理中,覆膜仅在第 360 天促进了大团聚体中微生物坏死质 C 的积累,但在 MF 处理中,覆膜在第 360 天和第 900 天都会增加微生物坏死质 C 的积累。结论施用粪肥与覆盖物相结合可通过真菌坏死物质 C 的积累促进有机碳在大聚落内的固碳。

Purpose

Hypolimnetic hypoxia has become increasingly prevalent in stratified water bodies in recent decades due to climate change. One primary sink of dissolved oxygen (DO) is sediment oxygen uptake (({J}_{{O}_{2}})). On the water side of the sediment–water interface (SWI), ({J}_{{O}_{2}}) is controlled by a diffusive boundary layer (DBL), a millimeter-scale layer where molecular diffusion is the primary transport mechanism. In previous studies, the DBL was determined by visual inspection, which is subjective and time-consuming.

Material and methods

In this study, a computational procedure is proposed to determine the SWI and DBL objectively and automatically. The procedure was evaluated for more than 300 DO profiles in the sediment of three eutrophic water bodies spanning gradients of depth and surface area. Synthetic DO profiles were modeled based on sediment characteristics estimated by laboratory experiments. The procedure was further verified adopting the synthetic profiles.

Results and discussion

The procedure, which was evaluated for both measured and synthetic DO profiles, determined the SWI and DBL well for both steady and non-steady state DO profiles. A negative relationship between DBL thickness and aeration rates was observed, which agrees with existing literatures.

Conclusions

The procedure is recommended for future studies involving characterizing DBL to improve efficiency and consistency.

目的近几十年来,由于气候变化,高溶解氧缺氧现象在分层水体中越来越普遍。溶解氧(DO)的一个主要吸收汇是沉积物摄氧量(({J}_{O}_{2}}))。在沉积物-水界面(SWI)的水侧,({J}_{O}_{2}}) 受扩散边界层(DBL)控制,这是一个毫米尺度的层,分子扩散是其主要的传输机制。在以前的研究中,DBL 是通过目测来确定的,这种方法既主观又耗时。该程序针对三个富营养化水体中跨越深度和表面积梯度的 300 多个沉积物溶解氧剖面进行了评估。合成溶解氧剖面是根据实验室实验估计的沉积物特征建模的。结果与讨论 对测量和合成溶解氧剖面进行评估后发现,该程序能很好地确定稳态和非稳态溶解氧剖面的 SWI 和 DBL。观察到 DBL 厚度与曝气速率之间存在负相关关系,这与现有文献一致。
