Popis: | Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the most active soil components and plays critical direct and indirect roles in heavy metal migration, transformation, bioavailability, and toxicity in soils. In this study, isothermal adsorption/desorption experiments and pot experiments were performed and samples were physically characterized to study the effects of different sources of DOM on adsorption and desorption behavior and bioavailability of Cd and Hg in a plant-soil system. The results showed that microbial DOM promoted Cd and Hg adsorption in soil and decreased Cd and Hg bioavailability to pak choi (Brassica chinensis Linn.). In contrast, straw DOM and farmyard manure DOM decreased Cd and Hg adsorption and improved Cd and Hg migration and bioavailability. These results might be explained by the different types of DOM having different molecular weights and degrees of aromaticity. Cd was more readily desorbed by the soil and was more phytoavailable than Hg. We concluded that exogenous microbial DOM can inhibit Cd and Hg migration and bioavailability in soil but straw DOM and farmyard manure DOM can activate Cd and Hg in soil and promote Cd and Hg accumulation in plants. The results could help in developing rational agricultural fertilization regimes. |
