[Effects of Water Management on Soil Properties and Cd Behavior of Typical Paddy Soils]

To explore the effects of water management mode on Cd environmental behavior in different parent-material-developed paddy soils, two parent-material-developed paddy soils (yellow clayey soil and granitic sandy soil) under three exogenous Cd levels (0.5, 2.0, and 5.0 mg·kg^-1) with different water management modes (long-term flooding, moistening irrigation, and wet-dry rotation) were cultured in this study. The soil redox potential (Eh value), pH value, Cd concentration in soil solution, and Cd fractionation were also determined. The results showed that water management mode had different effects on the pH and Eh values of soils developed from different parent materials. The change rates of soil pH value were as follows:long-term flooding:-2.61% (yellow clayey soil), 2.25% (granitic sandy soil); alternation of dry and wet:-1.96% (yellow clayey soil); 0.52% (granitic sandy soil); wet irrigation:-4.08% (yellow clayey soil) and -0.52% (granitic sandy soil). The Eh value of the soils was negatively correlated with the pH value. The influence pattern of water management model on Cd mass concentration of soil solutions in two parent-material soils was consistent. The Cd mass concentration of soil solutions in granitic sandy soil was higher than that in yellow clayey soil. The mean values of Cd concentration were 1.03 μg·L^-1 for yellow clayey soil and 1.07 μg·L^-1 for granitic sandy soil. Water management mode had no significant effect on the proportions of organic bound Cd or Fe-Mn bound Cd in two different parent-material-developed soils. The long-term flooding mode promoted the transformation of exogenous Cd to residual Cd, and this promotion in yellow clayey soil was higher than that in granitic sandy soil. In conclusion, during the process of regulating soil Cd bioavailability through water management, the role of soil parent materials needs to be considered.
