Abstract:
Adsorption experiments involving soil particles typically are performed in a sequence of three steps: (1) reactio of an adsorptive (ion or molecule) with a soil contacting an aqueous solution of known composition under controlled temperature and applied pressure for a prescribed period of time, (2) separationof the wet soil slurry from the supernatant aqueous solution, and (3) quantitationof the ion or molecule of interest, both in the aqueous solution and in the separated soil slurry along with its entrained soil solution. The reaction step can be performed in either a closed system (batch reactor) or an open system (flow-through reactor), and it can proceed over a time period that is either relatively short (to investigate adsorption kinetics) or very long (to investigate adsorption equilibration). The separation step is similarly open to choice, with centrifugation, filtration, or gravitational settling being conventional methods to achieve separation. The quantitation step, in principle, should be designed not only to determine the moles of adsorbate and unreacted adsorptive, but also to verify whether unwanted side reactions, such as precipitation of the adsorptive or dissolution of the adsorbent, have influenced the experiment. After reaction between an adsorptive i and a soil adsorbent, the moles of i adsorbed per kilogram of dry soil is calculated with the standard equation ni ≡ niT − Mwmi where niT is the total moles of species i per kilogram dry soil in a slurry (batch process) or a soil column (flow-through process), Mw is the gravimetric water content of the slurry or soil column (measured in kilograms water per kilogram dry soil), and mi is the molality (moles per kilogram water) of species i in the supernatant solution (batch process) or effluent solution (flow-through process). Equation 8.1 defines the surface exces, ni, of an ion or molecule adsorptive that has become an adsorbate. Formally, ni is the excess number of moles of i per kilogram soil relative to its molality in the supernatant solution. As mentioned in Section 7.2, this surface excess may be a positive, zero, or negative quantity.

Abstract:
The constitution and properties of soils have their macroscopic and microscopic aspects. Macroscopically, the profile of a soil consists of several horizons, each containing numerous aggregates and blocks of soil particles of different sizes. These structures are visible to the naked eye. Microscopically, a soil is composed of many kinds of minerals and organic matter interlinked in a complex manner. In addition, a soil is always inhabited by numerous microorganisms which can be observed by modern scientific instruments. To study these various aspects, several branches of soil science, such as soil geography, soil mineralogy, and soil microbiology, have been developed. If examined on a more minute scale, it can be found that most of the chemical reactions in a soil occur at the interface between soil colloidal surface and solution or in the solution adjacent to this interface. This is because these colloidal surfaces carry negative as well as positive charges, thus reacting with ions, protons, and electrons of the solution. The presence of surface charge is the basic cause of the fertility of a soil and is also the principal criterion that distinguishes soil from pure sand. The chief objective of soil chemical research is to deal with the interactions among charged particles (colloids, ions, protons, electrons) and their chemical consequences in soils. As depicted in Fig. 1.1, these charged particles are closely interrelated. The surface charge of soil colloids is the basic reason that a soil possesses a series of chemical properties. At present, considerable knowledge has been accumulated about the permanent charge of soils. On the other hand, our understanding is still at an early stage about the mechanisms and the affecting factors of variable charge. The quantity of surface charge determines the amount of ions that a soil can adsorb, whereas the surface charge density is the determining factor of adsorbing strength for these ions. Because of the complexities in the composition of soils, the distribution of positive and negative charges is uneven on the surface of soil colloidal particles. Insight into the origin and the distribution of these charges should contribute to a sound foundation of the surface chemistry of soils.

Abstract:
In Chapter 4, when the electrostatic adsorption of anions by variable charge soils is discussed, another type of adsorption, specific adsorption, has already been mentioned, although it is not very remarkable for chloride ions and nitrate ions. For some other anions, specific adsorption can be very important. Specific adsorption is determined by the nature of the anions and is also related to the kind of functional groups on the surface of soils. In general, this type of adsorption is more pronounced in soils containing large amounts of iron and aluminum oxides. Therefore, specific adsorption of anions is one of the important characteristics of variable charge soils. Specific adsorption is a common term. For anions, the mechanism of specific adsorption is ligand exchange between these ions and some groups that have already been coordinately linked on the surface of soil particles. Therefore, the term coordination adsorption may be more appropriate than the term specific adsorption. For variable charge soils, phosphate is the strongest specifically adsorbed anion species. Phosphate adsorption is also the most intensively studied anion adsorption in soil science. However, the valence status of phosphate ions is apt to change with the change in environmental conditions. In the adsorption of phosphate by soils, in addition to ligand exchange, other mechanisms, such as chemical precipitation, may also be involved. Therefore, the phenomenon of phosphate adsorption is rather complex, and it is often difficult to make definitive interpretations of experimental results. In the present chapter, the coordination adsorption of anions will be discussed, mainly taking sulfate as the example, because sulfate is only secondary to phosphate in importance for agricultural production among anions capable of undergoing coordination adsorption. For the purpose of comparison, the adsorption of fluoride ions will also be mentioned. On the surface of soil particles there are functional groups such as hydroxyl groups (M-OH) and water molecules (M-OH2) that can participate in ligand exchange with anions. Al-OH, Fe-OH, Al-OH2, and Fe-OH2 groups on the surface of soil particles are the important sites for coordination adsorption of anions. Therefore, when a soil contains large amounts of iron and aluminum oxides, the phenomenon of coordination adsorption of anions will be more pronounced.

Full text
Abstract:
Oxidation-reduction reactions are chemical reactions caused by the transfer of electrons between two substances. These reactions occur actively in variable charge soils. This is because that under conditions of high temperature and high precipitation both the accumulation and the decomposition of organic matter proceed rapidly. The decomposition products of organic matter may release electrons, providing the necessary condition for the occurrence of reduction reactions. In particular, because the soil may have a high content of water during seasonal rainy periods, the presence of a strongly reducing condition is possible. Furthermore, large areas of variable charge soils have been cultivated for rice production. For these paddy soils there are always intensive oxidation-reduction reactions proceeding alternately. Variable charge soils have a high content of iron oxides. The content of manganese is also higher than that of constant charge soils. Thus, the soil itself possesses plenty of electron-acceptors. Besides, the high concentration of hydrogen ions in variable charge soils is favorable for the occurrence of reduction reactions. Therefore, as shall be seen in this chapter, contrary to the belief that the significance of oxidation- reduction reactions is confined chiefly to submerged soils, these reactions may play an important role in soil genesis and soil fertility for variable charge soils even under well-aerated conditions. In this chapter, after discussions on factors affecting the intensity of oxidation-reduction and interactions among various oxidation-reduction substances, the oxidation-reduction regimes of variable charge soils under different utilization conditions will be presented. Ferrous and manganous ions, two important inorganic reducing substances in soils, shall be dealt with in the next chapter. The oxidation-reduction intensity of a substance is determined by its ability to liberate or accept electrons. Therefore, electron activity in an equilibrium system may be used as an index for expressing its reduction strength. An electron has a radius of only approximately 1/20,000 of that of a hydrogen atom. Its large charge-to-size ratio prevents it from persisting in free form in aqueous systems. The ephemeral “hydrated electron” has a half-life of less than 1 msec (Bartlett and James, 1993). As a species with a potential of -2.7 V vs. the standard potential of H+/H2, it is a powerful reducing agent.

Full text
Abstract:
Hydrological processes exert strong control over biological and climatic processes in every ecosystem. They are particularly important in the boreal zone, where the average annual temperatures of the air and soil are relatively near the phase-change temperature of water (Chapter 4). Boreal hydrology is strongly controlled by processes related to freezing and thawing, particularly the presence or absence of permafrost. Flow in watersheds underlain by extensive permafrost is limited to the near-surface active layer and to small springs that connect the surface with the subpermafrost groundwater. Ice-rich permafrost, near the soil surface, impedes infiltration, resulting in soils that vary in moisture content from wet to saturated. Interior Alaska has a continental climate with relatively low precipitation (Chapter 4). Soils are typically aeolian or alluvial (Chapter 3). Consequently, in the absence of permafrost, infiltration is relatively high, yielding dry surface soils. In this way, discontinuous permafrost distribution magnifies the differences in soil moisture that might normally occur along topographic gradients. Hydrological processes in the boreal forest are unique due to highly organic soils with a porous organic mat on the surface, short thaw season, and warm summer and cold winter temperatures. The surface organic layer tends to be much thicker on north-facing slopes and in valley bottoms than on south-facing slopes and ridges, reflecting primarily the distribution of permafrost. Soils are cooler and wetter above permafrost, which retards decomposition, resulting in organic matter accumulation (Chapter 15). The markedly different material properties of the soil layers also influence hydrology. The highly porous near-surface soils allow rapid infiltration and, on hillsides, downslope drainage. The organic layer also has a relatively low thermal conductivity, resulting in slow thaw below thick organic layers. The thick organic layer limits the depth of thaw each summer to about 50–100 cm above permafrost (i.e., the active layer). As the active layer thaws, the hydraulic properties change. For example, the moisture-holding capacity increases, and additional subsurface layers become available for lateral flow. The mosaic of Alaskan vegetation depends not only on disturbance history (Chapter 7) but also on hydrology (Chapter 6).

Abstract:
During the past half century, atmospheric concentrations of important greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) have been increasing at unprecedented rates ( I PCC, 1996, 2007). Trace gases such as methane (CH4), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrous oxide (N2O) are exchanged regularly between the soil and atmosphere, playing important roles in the greenhouse effect, in atmospheric chemistry, and in the redistribution of ecosystem nitrogen (N). Soils can be important sources of greenhouse gases, commonly contributing up to two thirds of atmospheric N2O and more than one third of atmospheric CH4 (Monson and Holland, 2001; Smith et al., 2003). Recent extensive changes in land management and in cultivation, which can stimulate N2O production and/or decrease CH4 uptake, could be contributing to the observed increases of both CH4 and N2O in the atmosphere (IPCC, 2007). Although the absolute amount of trace gases (such as CH4, NO, and N2O) released into the atmosphere from soils may be small, these gases are extremely effective at absorbing infrared radiation (Smith et al., 2003). Methane, for example, is 20 to 30 times more effcient than CO2 as a greenhouse gas (LeMer and Roger, 2001). As a result, even small changes in the production or consumption of these gases by soils could dramatically influence climate change. Of the gases exchanged between the soil and atmosphere, the major reactive ones are oxides of N (NO and NO2, collectively referred to as NOx). Combustion is a major source of NOx, but native and N-fertilized soils also contribute signi3 - cant amounts of NOx to the atmosphere (Williams et al., 1992). Nitric and nitrous oxide play a complex role in atmospheric chemistry. At low concentrations, it catalyzes the breakdown of ozone. At higher concentrations it can interact with carbon monoxide (CO), hydroxyl radicals (OH.), and hydrocarbons to produce ozone. Atmospheric NOx is converted within days to nitric acid, which is an important component (30% to 50%) of acidity in precipitation (Williams et al., 1992).

Abstract:
The number of species living in the soil may well represent the largest reservoir of biodiversity on earth (Giller 1996, Wardle and Giller 1996, Service 1997). Five thousand microbial species have been described and identified (Amann and Kuhl 1998), but the actual number of species may be greater than 1 million (American Society for Microbiology 1994), larger even than the number of insect species (Service 1997). Over the last 10 to 15 years, interest in soil biodiversity has soared, driven by advances in molecular techniques that allow for identification and analysis of soil microbes, many of which are difficult to extract and culture (Kennedy and Gewin 1997). However, the factors that control soil microbial biodiversity and the links between soil biodiversity and ecosystem function are still unclear (Beare et al. 1995, Schimel 1995, Freckman et al. 1997, Brussard et al. 1997, Wall and Moore 1999). Soil may represent an excellent venue for exploring links between biodiversity and ecosystem function. The vast numbers of species in soil and methodological problems have long necessitated a functional approach in soil studies. As a result, soil functions important to organic matter degradation, nutrient cycling, water quality, and air chemistry are well studied (Groffman and Bohlen 1999). As our knowledge of soil biodiversity increases, this information may provide a strong basis for evaluating links between biodiversity and these functions. Evaluating functional diversity of soil communities requires considering how microbes interact with plants and soil fauna to produce patterns of ecosystem processes (Wall and Moore 1999). These interactions vary within and between ecosystems (i.e., across landscapes). Throughout this book, we suggest that the science of biodiversity must consider links to ecosystem processes and interactions with landscape diversity (Shachak et al. this volume). The need for these links is particularly clear when considering soil biodiversity. There have been relatively few studies of microbial processes in desert soils, and very little analysis of desert soil biodiversity (Parker et al. 1984, Schlesinger et al. 1987, Peterjohn 1991, Fließbach et al. 1994, Zaady et al. 1996a,b, Steinberger et al. 1999).

Abstract:
Laboratories in traditional radiochemistry courses typically involve basic and fundamental understanding in solvent extraction, ion exchange, precipitation, etc. procedures. With the increased focus on nuclear forensics in pre- and post-detonation scenarios different skill sets are now required for the student to learn. At the University of Texas we have developed two independent graduate courses in gamma-ray spectrometry and radiochemistry. Currently, we have amalgamated these two courses to 1. better serve our nuclear engineering graduate students, many of which are involved in nuclear foren
