摘要
Soil sulfur fractions, including monocalcium phosphate-extractable S, slowly soluble inorganic S, C- O-S ,C-bonded S and unidentified organic S, were analyzed for 48 soils, as representatives of 6 major groups ofupland soils, fiuvisol, cinnamon soil, loessial soil, chestnut soil, black soil and brown soil, in North China.The contemns of total S and monocalcium phosphate-extractable S in the above 48 soils ranged from 234 to860 and 5.1 to 220.3 mg kg--1 , respectively, and each of 6 soil groups contained the samples with a low level ofphosph ate-extractable S. Great differences in the average contents of each fraction of S were observed amongthe above 6 soil groups. Expressed as average percentage of the total S in soils, fiuvisols, cinnamon soils,loessial soils, chestnut soils, black soils and brown soils contained 6.1%, 9.5%, 5.7%, 13.2%, 3.5% and 6.8%monocalcium phosphate-extractable S, 5. 7%, 3. 0%, 9. 3%, 1 0. 4%, 3. 2% and 3. 1 % slowly soluble inorganic S ,51.6%, 26.7%, 17.4%, 31.2%, 28.9% and 22.7% C-O-S, 11.0%, 9.1%, 6.6%, 6.8%, 9.7% and 9.4% in C-bondedS, and 25.6%, 51.7%, 60.8%, 38.4%, 54.7% and 53.0% unidentified organic S, respectively. For the above 6groups of soils, the mean C/N ratios were remarkably similar, ranging from 9.7 to 10.7, while the mean N/Sratios ranged from 1.16 to 3.12. The highest ratios of C/N, C/C-O-S and C/C-bonded S were found in blacksoils, averaging 30.4, 104.9 and 314.7, respectively, while the lowest ratios arose in chestnut soil, averaging12.4, 39.7 and 183.3, respectively.
