“…Soil acidification may increase the bioavailability of these metals worsening its contamination condition. Soil Cu accumulation has been reported in the surface layer of European and Australian vineyard soils (Delusia et al, 1996;Chopin et al, 2008;Wightwick et al, 2008). A similar increase in Cu has occurred in citrus orchards and avocado orchard soils with an established history of copperbased fungicide use, with current concentrations ranging between 110 and 1500 mg kg À1 Cu (Fan et al, 2011;Merrington et al, 2002).…”

a b s t r a c tThe bioavailability of Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd from field-aged orchard soils in a certified fruit plantation area of the Northeast Jiaodong Peninsula in China was assessed using bioassays with earthworms (Eisenia fetida) and chemical assays. Soil acidity increased with increasing fruit cultivation periods with a lowest pH of 4.34. Metals were enriched in topsoils after decades of horticultural cultivation, with highest concentrations of Cu (132 kg À1 ) and Zn (168 mg kg À1 ) in old apple orchards and Pb (73 mg kg À1 ) and Cd (0.57 mg kg À1 ) in vineyard soil. Earthworm tissue concentrations of Cu and Pb significantly correlated with 0.01 M CaCl 2 -extractable soil concentrations (R 2 ¼ 0.70, p < 0.001 for Cu; R 2 ¼ 0.58, p < 0.01 for Pb). Because of the increased bioavailability, regular monitoring of soil conditions in old orchards and vineyards is recommended, and soil metal guidelines need reevaluation to afford appropriate environmental protection under acidifying conditions.

A wide range of relatively high copper concentrations in orchard soils, especially in vineyard soils, has been reported in the international literature (Merry et al 1983;Deluisa et al 1996;Besnard et al 2001). Holland and Solomona (1999) proposed that elevated soil copper concentrations in orchard soils arise from the long-term use of copper-based fungicides.…”

It is accepted that the historical routine use of agrochemicals may have resulted in undesirable concentrations of metals in the environment. To investigate and assess the effects of land use on concentrations of heavy metals around the Guanting Reservoir in China, 52 surface soil samples (depth of 2-10 cm) were taken from areas where four types of land use were practiced (including arable land, woodland, bare land, orchard land). The metals and metalloids (As, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Significant accumulation of As, Cd, and Cr was found in soils of arable land. Based on correlation and cluster analysis, it can be concluded that Cd and Zn originate mainly from phosphate fertilizer, Pb from the use of insecticides, fertilizers, and sewage sludge as well as air deposition, and Cu from copper-based fungicides, while As, Ni and Cr might come from parent soil material. According to an ecological risk analysis of metals based on the ecological index suggested by Hakanson, the four types of land can be ranked by severity of ecological risk as follows: arable land [ woodland [ bare land [ orchard land, with a high ecological risk of Cd for all four types. Management measures for land use planners for avoiding water, soil, and sediment pollution caused by metals around the Guanting Reservoir are presented.

“…19 Algerian agricultural soils had a median copper level of 23.8 µg/g, 21 while higher copper levels were found in Italian vineyard soils (945 µg/g). 26 Chinese and French regulations stipulate maximum copper level in soil of 100 µg/g. 3,14 The Canadian Ministry of Environment limits Cu in agricultural soil to 63 µg/g.…”

Abstract. Interest in growing fruits and vegetables in private gardens is rising due to nowadays ecological awareness. Avoiding artificial fertilizers and plant protection products does not guarantee the absence of toxic substances, especially heavy metals in the soil and thus in the fruits harvested. Due to either geological bedrock weathering or environmental pollution, garden soils may be rich in certain potentially toxic elements. In the present study ten garden soils from central Croatia have been analysed by the BCR method for the contents and bioavailability of aluminium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, nickel and zinc.The total amounts of the elements are in the concentration range as reported for agricultural soils in different geographical regions. Only two soils of the capital Zagreb have higher concentrations of pollutant metals, such as chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese and zinc. Regarding nutrients, all soils have met the needs of common garden plants.
