ABSTRACT The main objective of this research is to evaluate the CO2 evolution in a Red Eutrophic Latosol (Eutrudox) fertigated with treated sanitary wastewater under “Prata-Anã” banana cultivation. Disturbed soil samples were collected from 0-20 and 20-40 cm soil profile depths. The experimental design was random blocks arranged in split-plots with four replications. The main plot factors were different treated sanitary wastewater doses applied as 130% and 200% compared with the maximum annual soil application limit (150 kg sodium ha-1) and a control treatment (clean water + mineral fertilization). Soil respiration was evaluated on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days. The assessment of soil respiration at a depth of 0-20 cm indicates that the use of wastewater increases soil respiration by 19.89 and 28.46%, respectively for treatments TSW1 and TSW2 in relation to the control treatment. At a depth of 20-40 cm, the use of the control treatment promotes an exponential reduction in soil respiration, tending to decrease and stabilize at 58.185 mg C-CO2 kg-1 evolved on the 28th day of evaluation. Treatments with wastewater present respiratory behavior in a quadratic behavior, with minimum respiratory values estimated on the 18th day, respectively 83.4 and 54.0 mg evolved C-CO2 kg-1 for treatments TSW1 and TSW2. | RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a evolução de CO2 em um LatossoloVermelho Eutrófico (Typic Eutrustox) fertirrigado com água residuária sanitária tratada e cultivado com Banana“Prata-Anã”. Foram coletadas amostras de solo com estrutura deformada nas profundidades de 0-20 e 20-40 cm no perfil do solo cultivado com banana “Prata-Anã”. O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualizados em arranjo de parcelas subdividas, com quatro repetições. Os fatores na parcela principal consistiram na aplicação de diferentes doses de água residuária sanitária tratada sendo: 130 % e 200 % em relação ao limite máximo de aplicação anual de 150 kg ha-1 de sódio no solo mais uma testemunha (água limpa + adubação mineral). Avaliou-se aos 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias a respiração microbiana no solo. Na profundidade de 20-40 cm o uso do tratamento controle promove redução exponencial na respiração do solo, tendendo a diminuir e estabilizar em 58,185 mg C-CO2 kg-1 evoluído no 28º dia de avaliação.

Microbes live throughout the soil profile. Microbial communities in subsurface horizons are impacted by a saltwater–freshwater transition zone formed by seawater intrusion (SWI) in coastal regions. The main purpose of this study is to explore the changes in microbial communities within the soil profile because of SWI. The study characterizes the depth-dependent distributions of bacterial and archaeal communities through high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons by collecting surface soil and deep core samples at nine soil depths in Longkou City, China. The results showed that although microbial communities were considerably impacted by SWI in both horizontal and vertical domains, the extent of these effects was variable. The soil depth strongly influenced the microbial communities, and the microbial diversity and community structure were significantly different (p < 0.05) at various depths. Compared with SWI, soil depth was a greater influencing factor for microbial diversity and community structure. Furthermore, soil microbial community structure was closely related to the environmental conditions, among which the most significant environmental factors were soil depth, pH, organic carbon, and total nitrogen.
