Activities such as irrigation with cyanobacteria-polluted water can lead to microcystins (MCs) migration from soil surface to the deeper layers, which could pose a potential risk to ground drinking water safety. The present study evaluated the sorption, degradation and leaching behavior of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) in two different soils amended with biochar and peat. Results showed that both biochar and peat could significantly increase MC-LR sorption in both soils. The Freundlich unit capacity coefficient (Kf) of 2% biochar treatment were 2–3 times higher than those of the control treatment. Amendment of 2% peat greatly boosted the biodegradation of MC-LR, whereas amendment of 2% biochar significantly reduced the biodegradation of MC-LR in both soils. The half-lives of MC-LR were 4.99 d (Control), 5.59 d (2% Biochar) and 3.50 d (2% Peat) in soil A and 6.66 d (Control), 6.93 d (2% Biochar) and 5.13 d (2% Peat) in soil B, respectively. All the amendments, except treatment 1% Peat, could significantly reduce the recovery rates of MC-LR in the leachate of columns with both soils. Amendment of 2% biochar and 2% peat reduced the recovery rates of MC-LR by 15.87% and 8.6% in soil A and 18.4% and 10.3% in soil B, compared with the controls. This work provides a better understanding of the environmental behavior of MC-LR in soils with different amendments, which is also meaningful for groundwater protection in cyanobacterial-polluted areas.
