摘要

Abstract

The tidal flat along the Changjiang (Yangtze) River estuary has long been reclaimed for the agricultural purposes

with the prevailing hydrological conditions during such pedogenic transformations being of great importance to their successful development. In this study

samples of surface sediment from Chongming Dongtan

situated at the mouth of the Changjiang River estuary

were collected and analyzed in order to understand how hydrological management can influence the concentrations of heavy metals and salt ions in pore water

and chemical fractionation of heavy metals during the reclamation process. We performed a series of experiments that simulated three different hydrological regimes: permanent flooding (R1)

alternative five-day periods of wetting and drying (R2)

continuous field capacity (R3). Our results exhibited good Pearson correlations coefficients between heavy metals and salt ions in the pore water for both R1 and R2. In particular

the concentrations of salt ions in the pore water decreased in all three regimes

but showed the biggest decline in R2. With this R2 experiment

the periodic concentration patterns in the pore water varied for Fe and Mn

but not for Cr

Pb and Zn. Neither the fractionation of Ni nor the residual fractions of any metals changed significantly in any regime. In R1

the reducible fractions of heavy metals (Cr

Zn and Pb) in the sediment decreased

while the acid extractable fractions increased. In R2

the acid extractable and the reducible fractions of Cr

Zn and Pb both decreased

as did the oxidizable fraction of Cu. These data suggest that an alternating hydrological regime can reduce both salinity and the availability of heavy metals in sediments.
