Abstract Aims Hydraulic redistribution (HR) enhances water resources for neighboring crops in silvopastoral agroforestry (AF). Here, we tested whether and to what extent water stressed shallow-rooted neighboring plants benefit from water redistributed by deep-rooted poplar plants. Methods We conducted trace experiments with deuterated water (2H2O) in greenhouse soil column experiments. We measured hydraulic lift (HL) by poplars grown at two levels of soil drying and estimated the amount of hydraulically lifted water. In a parallel experiment we grew poplars and barley (Hordeum vulgare) in two columns connected via a small cross-rooting segment. Results Soil moisture measurements and stable isotope signatures of soil and xylem water proved the occurrence of HL in poplar. Additionally, stable isotopes proved the transport of water from deep roots of poplars to shallow roots of barley. Conclusions In conclusion, the experiments showed that poplars are capable to redistribute water during drought spells and that this water can facilitate plant growth of shallow-rooted crops. This result implies evidence for an enhanced soil water supply of plants in agroforest systems under drought conditions.

Illegal Waste

<p>Microplastics are not only found in marine and lacustrine environments but also in soils. Microplastics enter natural soil environments from legal or illegal waste deposition. In arable soils, microplastics often stem from the decomposition of plastic sheeting. The accumulation of (micro-)plastic from garbage bags in which biological waste is often disposed, is also a significant problem for the recycling and composting of organic waste. Commercially available compostable bags are advertised as degradable. Thus, these compostable bags ought to accumulate less in soils than non-compostable bags. We present a pilot study to determine the preference of earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris and Eisenia hortensis) for taking up and translocating different types of microplastic in soils. Our initial findings from the soil column experiment suggest that the earthworms show a strong tendency for the uptake of microplastic.  We also observed direct and indirect transport of microplastic by earthworms from the surface to deeper parts of the soil columns.</p>

In our research a chernozem soil sample formed on loess was collected from an area under cultivation. Our aim was to determine the lead adsorption capacity using a soil column experiment. The study showed saturation of lead content of the soil. The lead accumulation capacity of Lactuca sativa L. was measured in the sections of roots and leaves applying pot experiments. It could be observed that the lettuce accumulated lead easily from the chernozem soil. The lead content was increased in the analyzed sections of the plants against an increasing lead content.

Unlike other micro-irrigation facilities like a drip, trickle, and sprinklers that emits water at regularly spaced intervals with predefined discharges, porous rubber pipes (soaker hose) has openings of variable sizes that become unevenly spaced with uneven distribution. The latter makes discharge to be variant along its lateral. Shorter sections are used under laboratory column experiments of soil wetting pattern studies and for this reason, laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the extent of emission rates variability on short sections of commercial Irrigation Soaker Hose, 16 mm diameter. Three sections of 10 cm length pipes were randomly selected from 15 no's cuts from different parts of the twenty meters length pipe bundle and used to investigate the extent of variability on emission rates characteristics under six different operating pressures. The result was achieved by collecting and measuring water emitted through the pipe sections at pre-determined pressures. The various discharges, coefficient of variation, and pressure-discharge curves of the section of the pipe then determined from the data. The result shows somewhat similar trends on the increase for water collected with an increase in pressures; however, when statistically compared, the discharges among the pipe sections vary. The values of Coefficient of Variation (CV) are less than 10 % as the values CV range from 0.92 % to 5.82 %, which is within a good category, according to ASAE Standard EP405.1 of 0-10%. The findings indicate that, despite variations among the investigated sections, it can use any part as a representative unit in the soil column experiments with reasonable accuracy.

Migration Law

In this paper, we conduct the soil-column experiment on underground soil in a laboratory of Changping, Beijing, to simulate the effect of water table fluctuation on the cadmium migration law after twice pollution. The main job of the experience is to test the adsorption and desorption characteristics of the soil as well as the temporal and spatial distribution of cadmium ions in soil column. The experimental data show that (1) the two kinds of soil used in the test both have a strong adsorption capacity to cadmium ions, and the values could reach to 1026mg/kg and 2804mg/kg. (2) The dominant factor on cadmium ions migration under water table fluctuation is the soil adsorption when a small amount of cadmium ions are poured into soil column. On the other hand, convection plays a significant role in migration when plenty of cadmium ions are injected. (3) When plenty of cadmium nitrate are injected, the concentrations of cadmium ions in fluctuating zone increase with water table rise, and decrease with water table decline. The concentrations of cadmium ions, which exist in the saturated zone decrease when the water table rises and increase with water table decline.
