A Rapid Synchronous Determination Method for Soil Inorganic Carbon Content and its Carbon Isotope Ratio

  • 摘要: 土壤无机碳的累积、淋失在全球碳平衡中起着重要作用,是陆地生态系统碳循环与全球变化研究的热点问题之一。准确量化土壤无机碳含量及其碳稳定同位素比值,对于解释当前“失踪”碳汇,探明无机碳成因等方面具有重要意义。本研究基于光腔衰荡光谱技术,结合小样品量气体自动进样器开发了一种快速高通量的土壤无机碳含量及其碳同位素比值同步测定方法。通过分析不同类型、不同无机碳含量的有证标准物质建立了碱性土壤无机碳含量及碳同位素比值同步分析方法。结果表明,方法的测量范围为0.050~0.500 mg(碳酸盐),相关系数≥0.999,无机碳含量分析精度>1 g/kg,碳同位素分析精度>0.5‰,无同位素分馏。将该方法应用于不同粒径土壤无机碳含量及其碳同位素比值测定,均可获得较好的重复性,与传统方法测定结果基本一致,且100目粒径土壤的无机碳含量及其碳同位素比值测定精度优于60目粒径土壤。优化后的前处理方法操作简单,检测限低,耗时短,重复性好,适用于土壤无机碳含量及其碳稳定同位素比值的快速、批量前处理和检测。

     

    Abstract: The accumulation and leaching of soil inorganic carbon (SIC) play crucial roles in the global carbon balance and represent a key research focus in carbon cycling studies. Accurate quantification of SIC content and its stable isotope ratio is critical for identifying the current "missing" carbon sink in terrestrial ecosystems. This study developed a rapid, high-throughput method for synchronous measurement of soil inorganic carbon (IC) content and its carbon isotope ratios using cavity ring-down spectroscopy(CRDS) combined with an automated small-volume gas sampler. A synchronous analysis method for inorganic carbon content and isotope ratios in different types of soils was established by analyzing certified reference materials. Results demonstrated that this method has a measurement range of 0.050−0.500 mg (as carbonate), with a correlation coefficient ≥0.999. The accuracy of SIC analysis was better than 1 g/kg, and the accuracy of carbon isotope analysis was better than 0.5 ‰, with no observed isotope fractionation. The newly developed method was applied to determine inorganic carbon content and isotope ratios in soils with different types and SIC contents. The results showed that all samples achieved good repeatability, and the results were consistent with those measured using the original method. Moreover, the accuracy of SIC content and isotope ratios in soils of 100 mesh is better than that in soils of 60 mesh. The optimized method is simple to operate, offers a low detection limit, requires minimal processing time, and exhibits excellent repeatability, making it highly suitable for rapid and batch analysis of SIC content and its stable carbon isotope ratio.
