Potre-H: A Dynamic Model for Rationuclide Transport in Agricultural Ecosystems

Abstract

This paper presents a dynamic compartment model that simulates the transfer of radionuclides through components of agricultural systems following deposition to ground, and predicts the resulting concentrations in food products. The system of linear differential equations corresponding to this model was solved analytically for release in the dormant season, before or after sowing, and for release in the growing season as a single or time dependent deposition. Model predictions have also been compared with levels ¹³¹I and ¹³⁷Cs in grass and milk resulting from the Chernobyl accident.     

Soil matrix tracer contamination and canopy recycling did not impair 13CO2 plant–soil pulse labelling experiments

When conducting ¹³CO₂ plant–soil pulse labelling experiments, tracer material might cause unwanted side effects which potentially affect δ¹³C measurements of soil respiration (δ¹³C_SR) and the subsequent data interpretation. First, when the soil matrix is not isolated from the atmosphere, contamination of the soil matrix with tracer material occurs leading to a physical back-diffusion from soil pores. Second, when using canopy chambers continuously, ¹³CO₂ is permanently re-introduced into the atmosphere due to leaf respiration which then aids re-assimilation of tracer material by the canopy. Accordingly, two climate chamber experiments on European beech saplings (Fagus sylvatica L.) were conducted to evaluate the influence of soil matrix ¹³CO₂ contamination and canopy recycling on soil ¹³CO₂ efflux during ¹³CO₂ plant–soil pulse labelling experiments. For this purpose, a combined soil/canopy chamber system was developed which separates soil and canopy compartments in order to (a) prevent diffusion of ¹³C tracer into the soil chamber during a ¹³CO₂ canopy pulse labelling and (b) study stable isotope processes in soil and canopy individually and independently. In combination with laser spectrometry measuring CO₂ isotopologue mixing ratios at a rate of 1 Hz, we were able to measure δ¹³C in canopy and soil at very high temporal resolution. For the soil matrix contamination experiment, ¹³CO₂ was applied to bare soil, canopy only or, simultaneously, to soil and canopy of the beech trees. The obtained δ¹³C_SR fluxes from the different treatments were then compared with respect to label re-appearance, first peak time and magnitude. By determining the δ¹³C_SR decay of physical ¹³CO₂ back-diffusion from bare soils (contamination), it was possible to separate biological and physical components in δ¹³C_SR of a combined flux of both. A second pulse labelling experiment, with chambers permanently enclosing the canopy, revealed that ¹³CO₂ recycling at canopy level had no effect on δ¹³C_SR dynamics.     

Human and climate impact on 15N natural abundance of plants and soils in high-mountain ecosystems: a short review and two examples from the Eastern Pamirs and Mt. Kilimanjaro

Population pressure increasingly endangers high-mountain ecosystems such as the pastures in the Eastern Pamirs and the mountain forests on Mt. Kilimanjaro. At the same time, these ecosystems constitute the economic basis for millions of people living there. In our study, we, therefore, aimed at characterising the land-use effects on soil degradation and N-cycling by determining the natural abundance of ¹⁵N. A short review displays that δ¹⁵N of plant–soil systems may often serve as an integrated indicator of N-cycles with more positive δ¹⁵N values pointing towards N-losses. Results for the high-mountain pastures in the Eastern Pamirs show that intensively grazed pastures are significantly enriched in ¹⁵N compared to the less-exploited pastures by 3.5 ‰, on average. This can be attributed to soil organic matter degradation, volatile nitrogen losses, nitrogen leaching and a general opening of the N-cycle. Similarly, the intensively degraded savanna soils, the cultivated soils and the soils under disturbed forests on the foothill of Mt. Kilimanjaro reveal very positive δ¹⁵N values around 6.5 ‰. In contrast, the undisturbed forest soils in the montane zone are more depleted in ¹⁵N, indicating that here the N-cycle is relatively closed. However, significantly higher δ¹⁵N values characterise the upper montane forest zone at the transition to the subalpine zone. We suggest that this reflects N-losses by the recently monitored and climate change and antropogenically induced increasing fire frequency pushing the upper montane rainforest boundary rapidly downhill. Overall, we conclude that the analysis of the ¹⁵N natural abundance in high-mountain ecosystems is a purposeful tool for detecting land-use- or climate change-induced soil degradation and N-cycle opening.     

Evaluation of some pollutant levels in environmental samples collected from the area of the new campus of Taif University

The levels of radioactivity and heavy metals in soil, plant and groundwater samples collected from the area of the new campus of Taif University, Saudi Arabia, and its neighbouring areas have been determined. High-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy was used for radioactivity measurements, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy was used to determine the concentration of heavy metals. The means of ²²⁶Ra, ²²⁸Ra and ⁴⁰K concentrations in water samples collected from four wells were found to be 0.13±0.03, 0.05±0.03 and 1.3±0.5 Bq l^?1, respectively. The means of ²³⁸U, ²²⁶Ra, ²²⁸Ra (²³²Th for soil samples) and ⁴⁰K concentrations in wild plant and soil samples were found to be 3.7±4.1, 8.8±11.6, 3.8±2.9 and 1025±685, and 8.6±3.4, 12.8±3.4, 16.6±7.1 and 618±82 Bq kg^?1 dry weight (DW), respectively. The ¹³⁷Cs of artificial origin was also detected in soil samples with a mean concentration of 3.8±2.2 Bq kg^?1 DW. Evaluating the results, it can be concluded that the concentrations of ²³⁸U, ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K in soil samples fall within the world average. Furthermore, 19 trace and major elements in groundwater samples and 22 elements in soil and plant samples were determined. The sampling locations of soil can be classified into three groups (relatively high, medium and low polluted) according to their calculated metal pollution index using the contents of trace and major elements. A cluster analysis of the contents of radioactivity and trace element contents in soil samples shows the presence of two main distinct clusters of sampling locations.     

The dose dependence of 45 keV V+ and Bi+Ion sputtering yield of copper

The sputtering yield of 45 keV V⁺ ions on copper is found to decrease with increasing dose even for very large doses, whilst the yield of 45 keV Bi⁺ ions on copper increases with increasing dose until approximately ten times the projected range of the Bi⁺ ions has been sputtered away. The fate of the incoming V⁺ and Bi⁺ ions was investigated. A radiotracer technique showed that vanadium accumulated on the target surface, whilst bismuth diffused into the target, as was seen by means of Rutherford-scattering of light ions.

Analysis of soil flow and traction mechanics for lunar rovers over different types of soils using particle image velocimetry

Grouser wheels have been used in planetary rovers to improve mobility performance on sandy terrains. The biggest difference between a wheel with and without grousers is the soil behavior beneath the wheel as the grousers shovel the soil. By analyzing the soil flow, we gain insight into the mechanics dominating the interaction between the wheel and the soil, directly impacting performance. As the soil flow varies depending on the soil properties, the effects of soil type on soil behavior and wheel-traveling performance should be studied. This paper reveals the difference in soil flow and wheel performance on cohesive and non-cohesive soils. We conducted a series of single wheel tests over different types of soils under several wheel-traveling conditions. Soil flow was visualized by using particle image velocimetry (PIV). The experimental results indicate that soil flow characteristics highly depend on the shear strength of the soil. The cohesive soil exhibited lower fluidity due to its higher shear strength. At the same time, the wheel displayed a higher traveling performance over the cohesive soil, that is, a lower slip ratio.
