Pangkajene dan kepulauan (Pangkep) regency is one of the areas in South Sulawesi Province which has severe environmental pressure. Twenty two surface soils of Pangkajene dan Kepulauan (Pangkep) regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia were collected in order to determine the contamination status and potential ecological risks. The geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and potential ecological risk index (RI) were used to evaluate the contamination and risk level. The metal content in soils was determined using cold vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometer (CV-AAS) for Hg and fl ame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (F-AAS) for Pb. The results showed that the concentration of Hg and Pb ranged from 20.81223.47 mg kg-1 and 25.98108.68 mg kg-1 respectively. Pb concentration in studied soil was below the quality standard for soil, whereas the Hg concentration was exceeded the soil quality standard. Agriculture fi eld in Bungoro sub-district has the highest Hg concentration. The Igeo value showed that the soil in Pangkajene was extremely enriched with Hg and moderately enriched by Pb. The ecological risk index showed comprehensively the watershed area was at extreme risk level in need of effective monitoring and pollution control, and Hg is the important risk factor of Pangkajene watershed area.

The importance of this sector is reflected in its contribution to gross domestic product (GDP), its important share in national exports and its beneficial effects on regional and rural development through the creation of new jobs. Both globally and in Africa, the country was able to occupy a prominent place for a number of mineral substances. Morocco is thus the world’s leading exporter of phosphate, ranked as the world’s second-largest producer of barite and one of the main producers of silver in Africa (De Boer et al., 2018; Oshokoya and Tetteh, 2018). This is explained by the existence of a favorable and diversified geological context which has made it possible to develop mining activity in many regions of the national territory. If the socio-economic benefits of mining have been favorable to the country’s development, the same does not apply for its impact on the environment. Indeed, it is well known that mining and metallurgical processes in all their phases, i.e. extraction, processing, transport, and smelting, alters the natural landscape and cause serious environmental impacts (Ainoo et al., 2009; Matschullat and Gutzmer, 2012).

The present study evaluated the intensity of Cd and Pb pollution and the impact on soil microbial activity in agricultural soils in the vicinity of the brick kiln cluster of Hathazari, Chattogram, Bangladesh. It is a major concern as anthropogenic stress on soil microorganisms is directly related to crop productivity. Soil samples were collected from 21 sites covering 7 locations including the reference sites for the assessment of the toxic impact on soil biota. Soil samples were analyzed using standard procedures. In some of the sampling sites, Cd and Pb concentrations were signifi cantly higher than the reference sites. Metal concentration indicates that the anthropogenic input in the soils was in the range of 0.27 to 1.07 mg∙kg–1 of Cd and 19.07 to 52.07 mg∙kg–1 of Pb. However, the concentrations of Pb were not in toxic concentration when compared to the standard level by Chinese environmental quality standards for soil. The highest contamination degree (PER) of the soils was 200.87 and the lowest was 115.83. The contamination factor demonstrated that the soils were in the moderate to considerable level of contamination. The results showed that the number of soil microbial population, microbial activity, microbial biomass carbon, dehydrogenase, urease, acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase activities in the reference soil were all higher than in the agricultural soil in the vicinity of brick kiln cluster. Exponential curves showed a signifi cant positive correlation between heavy metal and microbial metabolic quotient (qCO2) indicating metal stress and high concentration of heavy metals decreased microbial biomass and enzyme activity. Soil pH and Cd content were identifi ed as the key infl uential factors controlling soil biological functions. A signifi cantly high correlation was observed for Cd and Pb (r = 0.89, p < 0.001), it suggests the same source of contamination input. Contamination of Cd and Pb is attributed to heavy input of aerial deposits of metal-enriched fumes from brick kiln operation. A signifi cant negative impact of Cd and Pb on soil microbial activities and enzyme activities was also profound from correlation studies and PCA analysis. However, regular application of fertilizer in agricultural soils may have supported adaptation to long-term Cd stress mainly through the maintenance of microbial activity. The study is important in eco-toxicological and biomonitoring aspects as the data on heavy metal toxicity to the soil environment can act as guidelines for the continuation of brick kiln operation and the sustainable utilization of natural resources.

The problem with this method lies in determining the relationship between the shape of the soil spectral response and soil physical or chemical properties. The LUCAS soil database collected by the EU’s ESDAC research centre is good material to analyse the relationship between the soil properties and the near infrared (NIR) spectral response. The modelling described in the paper is based on these data. The analysis of the impact of soil properties configuration on absorbance levels in various NIR spectrum ranges was conducted using the stepwise regression models with the properties, properties squared and products of properties being explanatory variables. The analysis of partial correlation of soil properties values with absorbance values and absorbance derivative in the entire spectral range was conducted in order to evaluate the impact of the absorbance transformation (the first derivative of absorbance vector) on the change of significance of relationship with properties values. The Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) models were used to estimate the absorbance relationship with single soil features. Soil property modelling based on the selection and transformation algorithm of raw values and first and second absorbance derivatives was also conducted along with the suitability evaluation of such models in building digital soil maps. The absorbance is affected by a limited number of tested soil features like pH, texture, content of carbonates, SOC, N, and CEC; P and K contents have, in case of this research, a negligible impact. The NIR methodology can be suitable in conditions of limited soil variation and particularly in development of thematic soil maps.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"87 1","pages":"298 - 313"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80124511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The values were developed on the basis of 1921 fields with wheat, evenly distributed throughout Poland. Soil samples were collected from these fields in 2016, together with the plants growing on them, at the stage of stem elongation (BBCH 30/31). The concentration of micronutrients was determined in all soil and plant samples. In addition, pH, texture, and the content of organic carbon and available phosphorus were determined in soil samples. Moreover, grain yield after wheat harvest was estimated for all fields. Limit values were developed by two independent methods: 1) the regression equation method and 2) the so-called high yield method. In the first case, the limit microelement concentration in soil was calculated from the equation describing the relationship between the bioaccumulation factor (R/G) and a specific soil feature (n=1921). The bioaccumulation factor is the quotient of the concentration of a micronutrient in a plant (R) and its concentration in the soil (G) determined by the Mehlich 3 method. The equations were constructed using the Stagraphics program. For each micronutrient, 8 models were tested in search for the equation with the highest determination coefficient r2. Limit values were calculated after substituting the critical value of microelements in the plant (R) to the selected model and transforming the equation accordingly. The basis of the second method was to separate the “high yield group” ≥7.0 t ha−1 (n=578) from the entire data set. In this group, lower quintiles for the Mehlich 3-concentration of individual microelements in soil were calculated. The lower quintiles (QU1) were taken as limit values. It was assumed that QU1 is a good indicator of the lowest micronutrient concentration in the soil at which a yield of 7.0 t ha−1 or higher can be obtained. The comparison of the values calculated with the regression equations method and the high yield method showed their similarity, which confirmed the reliability of these values. The proposed values define the limit for low microelements concentration in soil determined with the Mehlich 3 method, below which wheat fertilization with these nutrients is recommended.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"31 1","pages":"314 - 323"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73805851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The values were prepared on the basis of 1944 fields with rapeseed, covering the whole Poland. In 2017, the samplers of Polish agro-chemical laboratories took soil samples and corresponding plant samples at the BBCH 30/31 stage. In the plant samples, the concentration of microelements was determined, and in the soil samples, apart from microelements, also pH, texture and the concentration of organic carbon and available phosphorus, were determined. Moreover, for each field, data on rapeseed yield were collected. Limit values were determined by two independent methods: 1) the method of regression equations and 2) the so-called high yield method. In the first case, the limit microelement concentration in the soil was calculated from the equation describing the relationship between the R/G bioaccumulation coefficient and a specific soil feature (n=1944). The bioaccumulation coefficient is a quotient of the concentration of a microelement in a plant (R) and its concentration in the soil determined by the Mehlich 3 (G) method. Limit values were calculated after substituting the critical concentration of microelements in the plant (R) to the equation, and subsequently, an appropriate conversion of the equation. The second method was based on the separation of a group of high yields ≥4.0 t ha−1 (n=755) from the whole data set. Then in this group, the lower quintiles (QU1) were calculated for the concentration of individual microelements in the soil determined in Mehlich 3 extract and adopted as limit values. It was found that QU1 is a good indicator of the lowest microelement concentration in the soil at which a yield of at least 4.0 t ha−1 can be obtained. The final limit values were worked out by averaging the values calculated by the equations and high yield method and their appropriate correction. In the combined soil sample collections for wheat and rapeseed (n=3865), the values were checked by evaluating the percentage of soils with microelement shortage separately for rape and wheat. The results of this evaluation were compared with the evaluation using the old system based on the 1 M HCl, which did not take into account the plant species.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"37 1","pages":"324 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80379048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
