“…and 4), indicating that these two amendments could significantly enhance the sorption of Cu 2+ and Cd 2+ on soil. Soil pH directly and indirectly influences all chemical processes, and consequently the behavior of trace elements in soils . It is an important factor in affecting sorption and desorption of heavy metals by soil .…”

Sorption and desorption processes control the bioavailability of heavy metals in the environment. Soil incubation and batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of soil amendments on sorption, and desorption of Cu 2þ and Cd 2þ in a contaminated acidic paddy soil. The study showed that limestone and silicon fertilizer increased Cu 2þ and Cd 2þ sorption 2.43-and 1.13-fold, which was higher than calcium magnesium phosphate, Chinese milk vetch, pig manure, and peat. The Freundlich equation fitted sorption of Cu 2þ and Cd 2þ better than the Langmuir and Temkin equations. High desorption percentages of sorbed Cu 2þ (mean of 67.1%) and Cd 2þ (mean of 78.2%) were observed from the contaminated soil. Limestone and silicon fertilizer significantly decreased the desorption percentage of sorbed Cu 2þ to 11.4 and 40.0%, respectively, and significantly decreased the desorption percentage of sorbed Cd 2þ to 42.5 and 61.0%, respectively. However, the other four amendments did not show significant impact. Increasing soil pH significantly increased contents of sorbed Cu 2þ and Cd 2þ , and negatively influenced desorption of sorbed Cu 2þ and Cd 2þ . Application of amendments changed Cu and Cd fractions in soils, which might affect the sorption and desorption of Cu 2þ and Cd 2þ . The effects of soil amendments on sorption and desorption of heavy metals may be useful for predication of their remedy efficiency to heavy metal contamination.

“…Wang et al [40] indicated that wastewater irrigation caused a slight increase in soil compaction. Particularly high-suspended solid concentration in wastewater may increase the bulk density, while lower concentrations may not significantly affect it [41]. These values reflect, on one hand, the plowing practices in the study sites and, on the other hand, a less favorable effect of the accumulation of organic matter in the fields located upstream of the effluent.…”

Our objective is to study interaction between physical and chemical properties of soils and their earthworm community characteristics in different areas irrigated by wastewaters and well waters. The fields have different topography and agricultural practices conditions and are located in two regions of Batna department (Eastern Algeria). Both regions are characterized by a semiarid climate with cold winters and Calcisol soils. Nine fields were subject of this study. Three of these fields are located in Ouled Si Slimane region whose irrigation is effectuated by natural waters of Kochbi effluent. The other six fields are located at edges of Wed El Gourzi, effluent from Batna city, and partially treated through water treatment station. The best rates of water saturation and infiltration as well as abundance of earthworms were recorded at sites characterized by irrigation with wastewaters downstream of El Gourzi effluent. PCA characterizes two major groups: a group of hydrodynamic infiltration parameters and structural index stability of soil, explained by fields irrigated with wastewaters downstream of El Gourzi effluent. This group includes chemical characteristics: pH and electric conductivity. The second group is the characteristics of earthworms and includes organic matter content, active limestone levels, and Shannon Biodiversity Index.
