AFTER-Cu (LIFE) CEBAS-CSIC EXPERIMENT (B1 and C1, AFTER-Cu) “EFFECT OF COPPER ON SOIL MICRO-ORGANISMS ACTIVITY” OBJECTIVE: to demonstrate the environmentally negative impact of copper on soil microbiological community. The copper in soils can inhibit some enzyme activity through many pathways (Dick, 1997; Dussault et el., 2008): * Reducing the production of enzymes through its toxic effect on soil microflora. * Combining with the active protein groups of the enzyme. * Through complexation of the substrate. * Reacting with the enzyme-substrate complex.
AFTER-Cu (LIFE) EXPERIMENT: SOIL + Cu (doses, leaching..) 60 days of experiment (sampling at 0, 15, 30 and 60 days)
Cu in thesoil Cu: Ourexperimentshowedthatthe Cu was increasedlightly in thesoilwhenplants weretreatedwith CuSO4. Cu contentwillincrease in soilswiththe time becauseisused as continoustreatment. pH: No problemwith pH after Cu saltaddition. Itisindicative thatthesolubility of this metal isnotincreased in thesoil.
AFTER-Cu (LIFE) SOIL ENZYMES versus SOIL POLLUTION (HEAVY METALS) • Enzymes are proteinswhichhave a main role in soilfunctionality. • They are implied in themaincycles of elementssuch as C, N, P and S. A lot of processes in soil are carriedoutbyenzymes (degradation of organicwastes, oxidation of organicmatter, …). • Soilenzymes can be bioindicators of thepotential of a soil to carryoutspecificbiochemicalreaction in order to maintainsoilfertility.

AFTER-Cu (LIFE) Fig 4. Changes in Dehydrogenase activity (µgr INTF/g dry soil h) in Control, D1, D1P, D2 and D2P treatments after 60 days of incubation in growth chamber. Same letter in each figure indicate no significant differences between treatment (Tuckey’s method). A negativeeffectonDehydrogenaseactivitywasobservedafter Cu addition (initialpoint and after 15 days in sometreatments). Total metabolicactivitywasinfluencedby Cu treatment.
AFTER-Cu (LIFE) Thedegradation of organicmatteris a property of allheterotrophs, and itsrateiscommonlyused to indicatethelevel of microbialactivity After 30 days of theexperiment, no negativeeffectwasobservedonsoilmicrobialrespirationwhen Cu wasadded to thesoil. After 60 days, a positive effectwasshowed. A negativeeffectcouldprobably be observedwith a higuer Cu amount in soil
