Molecular Chemodiversity of Dissolved Organic Matter in Paddy Soils.
Environmental Science & Technology 2018 Februrary 7
Organic matter (OM), and dissolved organic matter (DOM), have a major influence upon biogeochemical processes; most significantly, the carbon cycle. To date, very few studies have examined the spatial heterogeneity of DOM in paddy soils. Thus, very little is known about the DOM molecular profiles and the key environmental factors that underpin DOM molecular chemodiversity in paddy soils. Here, Fourier-Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry was applied to unambiguously resolve 11 361 molecular formulas in 16 paddy soils; thereby elucidating the molecular characteristics of paddy soil DOM. Soil pH, iron complexing index (Fep /FeR ) and C/N ratio were established to be key factors controlling DOM profiles. Polycyclic aromatics (derived from combustion) and polyphenols (derived from plants) increased with increasing pH, while polyphenols molecules, pyrogenic aromatics, and carboxylic compounds decreased with increasing iron complexing index. Patterns in molecular profiles indicated DOM in paddy soils to become more recalcitrant at higher soil C/N ratio and higher pH. Furthermore, plant-derived polyphenols and pyrogenic DOM were retained favorably by iron and the chemodiversity of DOM in paddy soil increased with increasing soil C/N ratios. This study provides critical information about DOM characteristics at a molecular level and will inform better global management of soil carbon in paddy soil ecosystems.
