Abstract
Developing innovative agricultural remediation technologies to mitigate the threat of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) to crop growth and development. In this study, four drip irrigation treatments: silver mulch (S), transparent mulch (T), black mulch (B), and no cover (CK), to investigate the mechanisms by which mulch-drip irrigation technology to drive Cr(VI) remediation through heat-Fe redox coupling in black soil. The results indicated that mulched drip irrigation alters soil thermal dynamics via photothermal regulation. Fe redox cycling exhibits color-dependent characteristics, and Cr(VI) distribution is synergistically regulated by heat-iron metabolism. The B treatment provided short-term remediation of Cr(VI) through Fe2+ chemical reduction facilitated by microbial activity; however, the mid-soil layer (10 ∼ 30 cm) was reactivated (CV= 0.22) due to redox shock, indicated by an Eh rebound of 71.61 mV). The T-treatment drives deep enrichment of Cr(VI) due to its high heat capacity and thermal diffusivity, whereas the S treatment establishes a pattern of “surface depletion - mid-layer locking.” This study provides a theoretical basis and technical optimization direction for the remediation of heavy metal pollution in agricultural land.
期刊介绍:
Soil & Tillage Research examines the physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic. Manuscripts will be considered on aspects of soil science, physics, technology, mechanization and applied engineering for a sustainable balance among productivity, environmental quality and profitability. The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research:
The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils. Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality. Characterization or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.
