Nitrate losses, nutrients and heavy metal accumulation from substrates assembled for urban soils reconstruction.

Abstract:

:Urban soils may suffer mild to severe degradation as a result of physical and chemical alterations. To reconstruct these soils, a new upper horizon must be created, usually through the application of organic matter, one source of which is biosolids. Different soil mixtures were evaluated with regard to loss of nitrates in percolates and the uptake and incorporation of nutrients and heavy metals into plant tissues. The experiment was conducted in trays; treatments were mixtures of biosolids and a coarse material (e.g., sand or pine wood sawdust), combined in different proportions. Randomized trays were seeded with a mix of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea L.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Plant biomass was quantified. Nitrates in percolates were measured, as were nutrients and heavy metals in mixtures and plant tissues. Plants accumulated substantially more N, and biomass was 40% higher, in the treatments with higher levels of biosolids. The same treatments released more nitrogen and resulted in higher percolate nitrate levels. Plants had normal concentrations of all nutrients, except nitrogen, which was low. Heavy metal concentrations were not significantly different among treatments. Based on the analysis of these data, the proportion of biosolids appears to be the most important factor affecting the quality of reconstructed soil and the rate of improvement. The type of coarse material used did not significantly affect the outcome.
