Particulate organic matter (POM) significantly affects the distribution of heavy metals in contaminated soil. However, the effect of POM on the fate of heavy metals during in situ-aided phytostabilization of waste slag is unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the distributions of heavy metals such as Cu, Pb, Zn, and Cd in the POM fractions at a zinc smelting waste slag site under in situ-aided phytostabilization after five years. The results showed that the litters and residues of four plants―Arundo donax, Broussonetia papyrifera, Cryptomeria fortunei, and Robinia pseudoacacia―decomposed to form different POM size fractions. The percentage of the 0.05–0.25 mm POM size fraction was the highest, followed by the >1 mm and 0.5–1 mm POM size fractions, and that of the 0.25–0.5 mm POM size fraction was the lowest. The masses of POM derived from the four plants were in the following order: C. fortunei > B. papyrifera > A. donax > R. pseudoacacia. The contents, enrichment coefficients, and mass loads of heavy metals such as Cu, Pb, Zn, and Cd in the POM increased with decreasing POM size, and those in the 0.05–0.25 mm POM size fraction were the highest. The mass load of heavy metals in the POM occurred in the following order: Cu > Cd > Zn > Pb. The surfaces of the POM with coarser and smaller size fractions were smoother and rougher, respectively, and the smaller POM size fractions had larger specific surface areas. The main functional groups in the different POM size fractions were –COOH, –OH, CO, CC, C–H, Si–O, and –CH₃. The POM fractions played a significant role in determining the distribution of heavy metals in the revegetated waste slag. These findings have important implications for aided phytostabilization, which significantly influences the fate and speciation of heavy metals at the phytoremediation site.

Soil microbial stoichiometry and community structure responses to long-term natural forest conversion to plantations in a subtropical region
2022
Soil microbial stoichiometry reflects carbon (C) and nutrient (e.g., nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)) elemental balances under land-use change (LUC). However, how soil microbial community (SMC) structure and stoichiometry respond to long-term LUC in forests is still unclear. Here, we investigated three 36-year-old typical plantations, Cryptomeria fortunei, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, and Cunninghamia lanceolata, and the natural forest to assess their soil microbial stoichiometry and SMC structure. Three plots (30×30 m²) were randomly set in each forest site. In each plot of every forest site, soil samples of three depths (0–10, 10–30, and 30–60 cm) were collected. Dissolved organic C, N, and P (abbreviated as DOC, DON, and DOP, respectively) and environmental factors were measured. We also detected microbial biomass C, N, and P as well as SMC structure. The results showed that the soil microbial C:N:P stoichiometry had a strong or strict homeostasis regardless of soil depth and exhibited decoupling from the SMC structure at each depth. The SMC structure across forest types was mainly driven by mean annual soil temperature (MAST) and DOC at 0–10 cm depth, by soil water content and MAST at 10–30 cm depth, and by DOC to DOP ratio at 30–60 cm depth. Thus, SMC structure could be jointly regulated by available resources and environment. These results suggest that the C dynamics in forests tend to gain resilience or re-equilibrium over more than three decades after forest conversion. These findings highlight the importance of reforested plantations forest management for sustaining soil C over a long term.
