Soil Aggregate Construction: Contribution from Functional Soil Amendment Fertilizer Derived from Dolomite

doi: 10.3390/su141912287
Elastic and water stable macroaggregate are significant to soil structure. which is the base of the soil, to maintain sustainable agriculture. Whether and how functional amendment fertilizer is capable of construction of the macroaggregate is the main purpose of the study. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to investigate the effect of dolomite-based functional soil amendment fertilizers on soil structure. The fertilizers are beneficial to elastic-stable and water-stable aggregate construction. Calcined dolomite based soil amendment functional fertilizer (CDFF) was favorable to water-stable aggregates. The elastic-stable macroaggregate increased with lime, uncalcined dolomite based soil amendment functional fertilizer (UCDFF) and CDFF, and it was 3.0 to 4.2 times the microaggregate. The water-stable one of the CDFF was increased by 20.0%. The mean weight diameter (MWD) of the CDFF and the UCDFF increased by 0.05~0.19 mm, while that of lime only increased by 0.05 mm. The percentage of aggregate dispersion (PAD) of the CDFF was the least. SEM and EDS images revealed that Fe, Al, Si, Ca, Mg, C and O existed on the aggregates. The construction of stable aggregate lies in that the functional fertilizers can gradually neutralize soil H+ and prevent soil colloid dispersion. Soil particles are bounded together to construct micro-agglomerates and then macro-agglomerates through Ca2+, Mg2+ bond bridge and CaCO3, MgCO3 salt bridge and adhesion of SiO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3 as well as the other amorphous substances from the functional fertilizers.
