Role Of The Chemistry Of Soil Organic Matter On The Sorption Of Diuron

The influence of organic matter chemistry on the sorption of diuron to soils collected from a small (2 ha) field was investigated. Organic carbon-normalized sorption coefficients (KOC), determined by batch sorption, varied between 405 and 598 Lkg-1 amongst 10 A11 horizons, and between 547 and 975 Lk...

Zusammenfassung:The influence of organic matter chemistry on the sorption of diuron to soils collected from a small (2 ha) field was investigated. Organic carbon-normalized sorption coefficients (KOC), determined by batch sorption, varied between 405 and 598 Lkg-1 amongst 10 A11 horizons, and between 547 and 975 Lkg-1 amongst 10 matching A12 horizons. In all cases KOC was greater for the A12 horizon than the corresponding A11 horizon by 27–81%. Organic matter chemistry of the A11 and A12 horizons was determined using solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. KOC was positively correlated with aryl C (r2 = 0.61, significance level 0.001) and negatively correlated with O-alkyl C (r2 = 0.88, significance level
