“…The effects of nanomaterials on general soil processes and nutrient cycling were evaluated using four different enzyme activities. These enzyme activities are excellent indicators of soil microbial function, are key components in nutrient cycling (23,34,35), and have been applied in studies assessing soil quality and management (36). Soil acid phosphatase is an important enzyme in the catalysis of organic phosphate esters into inorganic phosphate, which is important in phosphorus mineralization and processing (37,38).…”

The nascent state of the nanoproduct industry calls for important early assessment of environmental impacts before significant releases have occurred. Clearly, the impact of manufactured nanomaterials on key soil processes must be addressed so that an unbiased discussion concerning the environmental consequences of nanotechnology can take place. In this study, soils were treated with either 1 μg C60 g-1 soil in aqueous suspension (nC60) or 1000 μg C60 g-1 soil in granular form, a control containing equivalent tetrahydrofuran residues as generated during nC60 formation process or water and incubated for up to 180 days. Treatment effects on soil respiration, both basal and glucose-induced, were evaluated. The effects on the soil microbial community size was evaluated using total phospholipid derived phosphate. The impact on community structure was evaluated using both fatty acid profiles and following extraction of total genomic DNA, by DGGE after PCR amplification of total genomic DNA using bacterial variable V3 region targeted primers. In addition, treatment affects on soil enzymatic activities for β-glucosidase, acid-phosphatase, dehydrogenase, and urease were followed. Our observations show that the introduction of fullerene, as either C60 or nC60, has little impact on the structure and function of the soil microbial community and microbial processes.

“…It has been repeatedly shown that heavy metals have a negative impact not only on the size, activity and diversity of soil microbial communities (Chander et al 2001), but they also affect soil enzymes (Belyaeva et al 2005). Soil enzyme activity is a reliable indicator reflecting the biological situation in soils and it is possible to very quickly obtain credible results of soil pollution.…”

Little attention has been paid to the effect of long-term fertilizer application on concentrations of elements in grain of barley produced on the metal non-contaminated agricultural soil. In 2010, we analyzed yield and concentrations of elements in grain of spring barley in unfertilized control, mineral fertilizer application (N 4 P 2 K 2 -70, 60 and 100 kg N, P and K per ha) and combinations of farmyard manure or poultry litter with mineral fertilizer (FMN 4 P 2 K 2 and PLN 4 P 2 K 2 ) treatments in the Ruzyně Fertilizer Experiment established on Luvisol in 1955 in Prague (Czech Republic). The yield of grain ranged from 4.03 to 9.74 t/ha in the control and FMN 4 P 2 K 2 treatment. There was a positive effect of fertilizer application on concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but no effect on concentrations of calcium and magnesium. With the exception of iron, concentrations of micro (copper and zinc) and risk elements (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese and nickel) were not significantly affected by the fertilizer treatments. Long-term use of organic and mineral fertilizers with appropriate application rates does not represent any risk for contamination of barley grain by risk elements on mineral rich and metal non-contaminated agricultural soils.
