“…Addition of S 0 to contaminated soils has been reported to increase concentrations of heavy metals and S in plants. [11,13] In the present study, S application increased shoot concentrations of Zn and Cd in all treatments spiked with Zn or Cd, and this agrees well with the results of Kayser et al [11] and Tichy´et al [13] The other factor that can affect shoot concentrations of the metals is shoot biomass, this can be taken into account by calculating the quantities of the metals taken up by the shoots.…”

“…The soil acidifying effect of S 0 may be explained by the activities of certain groups of acidophilic soil bacteria, particularly the genus Thiobacillus, which can metabolize S 0 in the presence of O 2 and generate H þ and SO 2À 4 , leading to soil acidification. [11][12][13][14] …”

“…The use of S 0 has therefore been suggested for alleviation of these constraints and for soil acidification to increase the solubility of metals in contaminated soils. [11][12][13] However, there have been few studies that have evaluated the feasibility of this method as a tool for enhancement of metal uptake by plants growing in soils with different levels of Cd and Zn in addition to plant uptake of S. The objectives of our study were to investigate the tissue concentrations and uptake rates of Cd, Zn, and S in oilseed rape that was grown in soil experimentally contaminated with different levels of Cd and Zn with and without application of S 0 .…”

“…This could result from changes in soil pH. Sulfur decreases soil pH and increases the solubility, availability and mobility of heavy metals (Tichý et al 1997, Seidel et al 1998, Kayser et al 2000, Martinez et al 2000 al. 2004).…”

A three-year field experiment was conducted in North-East Poland. Each year three sulfur fertilization rates in the form of sulphate (S-SO 4 2-) and pure (S-S 0 ) sulfur were applied: 40, 80, and 120 kg/ha. After the third year of the study, the application of sulfate and elemental sulfur decreased the zinc content of 0-40 and 40-80 cm soil layers, as compared with soil sampled before the experiment. Over the entire experimental period, sulfur fertilization had no significant effect on changes in the natural copper content of soil at a depth of 0-40 and 40-80 cm. Manganese concentrations remained at a similar level at a soil depth of 0-40 cm. The manganese content of the 40-80 cm soil layer was substantially lower than in the 0-40 cm horizon. An insignificant increase in the lead content of soil was observed. The applied doses of sulfate and elemental sulfur led to an increase in the cadmium content of soil depth of 0-40 cm. Sulfur fertilization contributed to a decrease in the nickel content of soil. The applied doses of sulfate and elemental sulfur exerted a stronger effect in the 0-40 cm soil layer than in the 40-80 cm horizon. Ke y word s: fertilizer; S-SO 4

“…However, these methods have some limitations due to negative effects on the chemical, physical and biological properties of the soil, or may lead to groundwater pollution through leaching. To avoid some of these constraints, the use of elemental S to decrease soil pH and increase the solubility of heavy metals in soils has been suggested (Tichý et al, 1997;Seidel et al, 1998;Kayser et al, 2000). However, more investigations are needed to evaluate the feasibility of this method as a tool for the enhancement of metal solubility and uptake by a metal accumulator, especially in alkaline or neutral soils contaminated by different concentrations of heavy metals.…”

A pot experiment was conducted to study the influence of elemental sulphur (S) on solubility of soil Pb, Zn and Cd and uptake by maize (Zea mays L.). Two rates of elemental sulphur (S) applied at 0 (S 0 ) and 200 (S 200 À 1 soil, respectively. The result showed that with S application at 200 mmol S kg À 1 , soil pH decreased about 0.3 unit and the solubility of the Zn and Cd was significantly increased, but the solubility of Pb had no significant influence. The concentration of Pb, Zn and Cd in maize shoots and roots were increased with increasing rates of heavy metals. However, the concentration of Zn and Cd in shoots and roots were higher with application of S rather than without S but no significant difference was found for Pb. The highest concentration of Zn in the shoots was 2.3 times higher with application of S rather than without at the same rate of Zn, 200 mg kg. Plant biomass was also significantly affected by the application of S and of heavy metals. With heavy metal addition, the shoot and root biomass were decreased with the rates of those of heavy metals increased either with or without application of S. However, the shoot biomass was significantly decreased with S application at the same rate of heavy metals except that with Zn addition. The removal of Cd and Pb by maize uptake and accumulation with application of S had no significant increase compared to that without, but the removal Zn by maize uptake from the soil increased by application of S, 90.9 Ag plant À 1 contrast to 25.7 Ag plant À 1 at Zn 200 within a growth period of only 40 days.
