1 The Role of Soil Organic Matter in Potassium Fixation Nathan Smith Undergraduate Research Assistant in Agronomy Senior in Agronomy and Environmental Science Iowa State University
2 Soil Potassium (K + ) Pools Structural K (in primary minerals, feldspars, micas) applied K (as fertilizer) Exchangeable K (in clays, organic matter) Solution K (non exchangeable) Fixed K (in vermiculite) Plant/Crop K (in biomass, residues) Figure modified after ML Thompson 2014, Sparks and Huang 1985.
3 K Fixation Importance plant uptake Fixed K longer equilibration (weeks seasons) Exchangeable K instantaneous equilibration Solution K applied K Fixed K is not immediately available to plants. Fertilizer recommendations based on exchangeable (available) K levels, but a fraction of applied fertilizer is fixed before uptake by plants. McLean et al, 1979, 1982 found a range of 10 80% of applied fertilizer is fixed in 7 weeks
4 K Fixation Good or Bad? Well, that depends On one hand, K fixation might be viewed as a loss of fertilizer since plants cannot readily access fixed K On the other hand, one study (Schneider et al. 2013) suggests that fixation may be a favorable factor limiting K leaching. Checking/Savings analogy Exchangeable K is the checking account Fixed K is the savings account Exchangeable K Fixed K
5 Fixed K Edge Mechanism Hydrated Cations (Ca 2+, Mg 2+ ) Fixed K Lattice K weathered edge of mica (vermiculite) mica with structural K Figure modified after Nommik and Vahtras, 1982.
6 Potential to Fix K K fixation capacity One method: Vermiculite determination Coffman and Fanning, 1974 Estimate vermiculite to find fixation capacity % Procedure: 1. Determine total CEC using Ca saturation (CaEC) 2. K saturate and promote K fixation by 110 C oven drying 3. Determine KEC by neutral NH 4 OAc displacement 4. AA analysis of extract solutions for Ca and K

8 Experiment: K Fixation Capacity First Treatment Remove organic matter before determination of CaEC and KEC Oxidize OM with H 2 O 2 Second Treatment Do not remove OM Determine CaEC and KEC on whole soil sample Hypothesis: Organic matter may block the cation exchange surface of the clay particles, reducing the overall CEC (and thus fixation capacity) of the soil. Therefore, removing organic matter should increase the K fixation capacity.
9 Results organic matter removed Plot ID CaEC KEC Fixation Capacity % Vermiculite cmol/kg cmol/kg cmol/kg g/100g soil AVG
10 Results organic matter included Plot ID CaEC KEC Fixation Capacity % Vermiculite cmol/kg cmol/kg cmol/kg g/100g soil AVG
11 Results familiarized It is helpful to visualize the fixation capacity in units of fertilizer application rather than charge per soil mass. The amounts of KCl and K 2 O fertilizer that can potentially be fixed are expressed in ton/ac, assuming an acre of soil with a mass of 2 million lbs/ac to a depth of 6in. Organic Matter Included Fixation Capacity g K/kg soil ton KCl / ac ton K 2 O / ac 3.7 cmol kg Organic Matter Removed Fixation Capacity g K/kg soil ton KCl / ac ton K 2 O / ac 1.3 cmol
12 Results comparison Organic Matter Included CaEC KEC Fixation Capacity % Vermiculite Organic Matter Removed CaEC KEC Fixation Capacity % Vermiculite On average, 60% of the K fixation capacity was lost upon removal of organic matter. In addition, for each sample, there was a larger decrease in the CaEC than the KEC after removal of organic matter.
13 Well What happened? A few things to consider The hypothesis was incorrect removal of OM did not increase fixation capacity it reduced it. However, total CEC did decrease, which is expected as OM is a contributor to soil CEC. But the presence of OM should not enhance K fixation, so why did the K fixation capacity decrease as well?
14 Decrease in total CEC The CEC of OM can be roughly estimated as a function of the soil ph by: ph The CEC lost by OM removal in the procedure is of the same magnitude as the predicted CEC of the OM as a function of soil ph. cmol/kg soil Actual Predicted y = x R² = y = x R² = kg OM/kg soil
15 Decrease in Fixation Capacity One possible explanation: Organic matter was removed by oxidation with H 2 O 2 In addition to oxidizing organic carbon, the H 2 O 2 treatment may have oxidized iron in the clay minerals from Fe 2+ to Fe 3+ reducing the negative charge of the clay fraction. Less negatively charged minerals would have a smaller CEC and diminished ability to fix K.
16 Conclusions Presence of organic matter is still believed to affect fixation of K in soils but in what way? Methods used in this study did not consider the effect of H 2 O 2 on structural iron in clay minerals BUT, iron reduction s role in K fixation is currently under investigation by others (Thompson and Stephen 2014), and results suggest iron reduction as a mechanism of increasing CEC and K fixation.
