Abstract: |
In order to explore the stabilization effect of phosphoric acid-modified biochar on heavy metals in calcareous contaminated soil and the effect on microbial community structure, a 5-year trial was conducted in northern Henan Province from 2015 to 2019. In this study, phosphoric acid-modified rice husk biochar was selected as a soil modifier, and its continuous application during different years was conducted to analyze cadmium and lead contents in wheat grains and to explore the sustainability of its effect. Additionally, soil microbial diversity was also measured by high-throughput sequencing technology. The results showed that phosphoric acid-modified rice husk biochar used in this study reduced the pH of the calcareous soil to a certain extent. Available cadmium and lead contents in the soil were significantly reduced. Application of the soil modifier in different years could inhibit the accumulation of cadmium and lead in wheat grains. Compared to treatments without adding soil modifier, all treatments reduced the available soil cadmium and lead contents by 32%~46% and 24%~36%, respectively. Cadmium and lead contents in wheat grains decreased by 17%~43% and 9%~35%, respectively. In addition, the soil modifier significantly increased the abundance of Pseudolabrys and Nordella bacteria and Mortierella fungi, but decreased the abundance of Nocardioides and Bryobacter bacteria and Gibberella and Sarocladium fungi. It was observed that cadmium content in wheat grains reached the lowest level after continuous application of the soil modifier for 5 years, while lead content in wheat grains could be significantly reduced after application for 3 years. The application of a soil modifier had a certain impact on the soil microbial community structure and improved the diversity and richness of the soil bacterial community. |
