Abstract

The increase in P availability to rice under flooded soil conditions involves the reductive dissolution of iron phosphate and iron (hydr)oxide phosphate. However, since $NO_3^-$ is a more favourable electron acceptor in anaerobic soils than Fe, high$NO_3^-$ loads function as a redox buffer limiting the reduction of Fe. The effect of adding $NO_3^-$ on Fe reduction and P release in paddy soil was investigated. Pot experiment was conducted where $NO_3^-$ was added to flooded soil and changes of redox potential and $Fe_2^+$, $NO_3^-$ and $PO_4^{3-}$ concentrations in soil solution at 10 cm depth were monitored as a function of time. Redox potential decreased with time to -96 mV, but it was temporarily poised at about 330${\sim}$360 mV when $NO_3^-$ was present. Nitrate addition to soil led to reduced release of $Fe_2^+$ and prevented the solubilization of P. Phosphate in pore water began to rise soon after incubation and reached final concentrations about 0.82 mg P/L in the soil without $NO_3^-$ addition. But, in the soil with $NO_3^-$ addition, $PO_4^{3-}$ in pore water was maintained in the range of 0.2${\sim}$0.3 mg P/L. The duration of inhibition in $Fe_2^+$ release was closely related to the presence of $NO_3^-$, and the timing of $PO_4^{3-}$ release was inversely related to the $NO_3^-$ concentration in soil solution. The results suggest that preferential use of $NO_3^-$ as an electron acceptor in anaerobic soil condition can strongly limit Fe reduction and P solubilization.

환원상태가 발달된 담수상태의 토양이나 습지생태계에서 $NO_3^-$는 환원상태의 진전을 지연시키는 완충역할을 할 수 있다. 논토양에서 $NO_3^-$가 Fe의 환원과 그에 따른 P의 가용화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 담수 후 10 cm 깊이 토양의 산화환원전위 변화는 $NO_3^-$를 처리한 토양과 처리하지 않은 토양에서 현저하게 달리 나타났으며, $NO_3^-$의 환원이 일어나는 동안에는 산화환원전위가 330${\sim}$360 mV 범위에서 유지되었다. 그리고 이 기간 동안 Fe의 환원은 현저히 억제되었다. $NO_3^-$를 처리한 토양 용액의 $PO_4^{3-}$ 함량은 담수 이후 0.2${\sim}$0.3 mg/L 수준 또는 그 이하로 유지되었으며, 반면 $NO_3^-$를 처리하지 않은 경우에는 담수 후 9일째부터 Fe의 환원과 함께 토양 용액의 $PO_4^{3-}$ 함량이 급격히 증가하였다. 일반적인 토양에서 무기태 P의 상당부분이 Fe 산화물에 고정된 형태 및 Fe와 결합된 형태로 존재하므로 Fe의 환원에 따라서 $PO_4^{3-}$가 함께 용출되는 것이다. 이상의 결과를 보면 토양중의 $NO_3^-$가 $Fe^{2+}$와 $PO_4^{3-}$의 용출을 조절하는 요인인 것으로 확인할 수 있다. 토양 용액중의 $NO_3^-$ 농도가 1 mg/L 이상으로 유지되는 상태에서는 토양의 산화환원전위가 330 mV 이하로 낮아지지 못하며, 따라서 Fe의 환원과 그에 따른 P의 용출 또한 현저히 억제되는 것으로 판단된다.
