Abstract

A detailed understanding and appreciation of the important mechanisms operating at the soil:root interface, commonly identified as the rhizosphere, is critical for evaluating the potential for particular plant species to be successfully used as part of a phytoremediation technique. For specific plants, mechanisms may exist to overcome the inherit limitation of the phytoremediation technique when poorly mobile soil metals are of interest. In the present study, the influence of root exudates on the rhizosphere chemistry of soil and consequential metal uptake were investigated following culture of vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides), recognized as a promising plant for land stabilization, in three different long-term contaminated soils and one non-contaminated control soil. The soil solution pH increased (0.3-1.1 units) following vetiver grass culture and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) also significantly increased in all soils with the highest increase in PP02 (23 to $173mg\;L^{-1}$). Chemical changes are contributed to root exudation by vetiver grass when exposed to high concentration of heavy metals. Chemical changes, consequently, influenced metal (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) solubility and speciation in the rhizosphere. The highest solubility was observed for soil Ko01 (eg. 2091 and $318{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ for Cd and Pb, respectively). Initial heavy metal solubility in soils varied with soil and either increased or decreased following vetiver grass culture depending on the soil type. An increase in pH following plant culture generally resulted in a decrease in metal solubility, while elevated DOC due to root exudation resulted in an increase in metal solubility via the formation of metal-DOC complexes. Donnan speciation demonstrated a significant decrease in free Cd and Zn in the rhizosphere and the concentration of Cd, Pb, and Zn in vetiver grass shoot was highly correlated with soluble concentration rather than total soil metal concentration.

일반적으로 근권부로 알려진, 토양과 뿌리 사이의 계면(soil-root interface)에서 일어나는 주요 기작에 대한 세부적 이해는 성공적인 phytoremediation 기술을 위해 특정 식물의 적용 가능성을 평가하는데 있어 매우 중요하다. 가령 어떤 식물은 토양중 낮은 중금속 유효도라는 제한인자를 극복하기 위해 근권부에서 특정 기작을 일으키기도 한다. 본 연구는 토양 고정 (land stabilization)에 탁월한 효과를 보이고 있는 vetiver grass(Vetiveria zizanioides)를 중금속으로 오염된 3가지의 다른 토양에 재배함으로써, 식물 뿌리가 근권부 토양의 화학적 특성에 미치는 영향과 이에 따른 식물의 중금속 흡수 특성을 조사하였다. Vetiver grass 재배 후 근권부 토양의 토양수 pH는 시험에 이용된 모든 토양에서 0.3-1.1 만큼 증가하였고, 토양수 중 유기탄소의 함량도 $23mg\;L^{-1}$ 에서 $173mg\;L^{-1}$로 가장 많이 증가한 PP02 토양을 비롯해서 모든 토양에서 증가하였다. 이와 같은 근권부 토양수의 화학적 변화는 중금속 오염토양에 노출된 vetiver grass의 뿌리에서 나온 분비물(exudates)에서 비롯된 것이다. 결과적으로 근권부 토양수의 화학적 특성 변화는 중금속(카드뮴, 납, 구리, 아연) 유효도 및 화학종 변화에 영향을 미쳤다. 중금속의 최초 유효도는 시험에 이용된 토양의 종류에 따라 달랐으며 vetiver grass 재배 후 이 유효도의 변화 또한 토양 종류의 영향을 받아 증가 또는 감소하였다. 가장 높은 중금속 유효도를 보인 토양은 Ko01 토양으로 토양수 중 카드뮴과 납의 농도가 각각 $2,091{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, $318{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ 이었다. 일반적으로 vetiver grass에 의해 증가한 pH는 중금속 유효도를 감소시켰고, 반면에 증가한 유기탄소는 토양중 중금속과 복합물질을 형성하면서 토양수 중 중금속의 농도를 높였다. Donnan speciation 기술을 이용한 화학종 분리 결과 토양수 중 순이온으로 존재하는 카드뮴과 아연의 농도가 현저히 감소하였고, vetiver grass에 의하여 체내에 축적된 중금속의 함량은 토양중 중금속 총함량이 아닌 토양수 중 중금속 유효도와 깊은 관계를 보였다.
