Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in soils is a common environmental issue. However, previous studies have primarily investigated the total concentrations of heavy metals, while fraction analysis of heavy metals has rarely been conducted. To bridge this gap, 18 topsoil samples of gray-brown desert farmland soil from the Jinchuan District, Gansu Province, China, were collected to analyze the total concentrations and fractions of Cu, Ni, Cd, Hg, Zn, Pb, and As with the Tessier sequential extraction method that were mainly found in the residual fraction (Pb 50%, As 99%). Ni and Pb were associated with secondary bound to carbonate fractions in most soil samples, while Cd, Hg, and Zn were associated with secondary bound to organic matter fractions. Cu was associated with secondary water-soluble, exchangeable, bound to carbonates, bound to Fe-Mn oxides, and bound to organic matter fractions. The mean values of RAC were in the sequence of Cu > Zn > Cd > Pb > Ni > Hg > As. The results of RSP indicated that the ecological risk levels of Cd, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, and Hg in the soils were low, and Pb was the most significant potential risk factor among all elements. The findings can be used to practice sustainable soil management in the area.
期刊介绍:
Eurasian Soil Science publishes original research papers on global and regional studies discussing both theoretical and experimental problems of genesis, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, fertility, management, conservation, and remediation of soils. Special sections are devoted to current news in the life of the International and Russian soil science societies and to the history of soil sciences.
Since 2000, the journal Agricultural Chemistry, the English version of the journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences Agrokhimiya, has been merged into the journal Eurasian Soil Science and is no longer published as a separate title.
