英文摘要 | ( )Aeolian dust is a significant source of phosphorus (P) in various ecosystems. The Saharan desert is the major dust source on earth and it contributes atmospheric P to terrestrial ecosystems which often depend on these inputs. Since estimations on the contribution of dust to the atmospheric P cycle vary between studies, accurate estimations on the aerosol-P inputs to ecosystems can be enhanced by an identification method for dust from the other atmospheric P sources. In the current study, we explored the use of the oxygen stable isotopes in phosphate, delta(18)Op, as a marker for desert dust P. To characterize the delta(18)Op in Saharan dust, we analyzed atmospheric particles sampled in Puerto Rico, which has good exposure in summer to African dust with little exposure to wildfires, local, or anthropogenic influence on atmospheric inputs. Additionally, to evaluate possible isotopic fractionations in desert dust sources, which could affect the soil delta(18)Op before transport, we analyzed the delta(18)Op in Israeli desert soils that served as an analog. Saharan dust storms sampled at Puerto Rico were found to have delta(18)Op values of 22.5 + 0.3 parts per thousand in the resin fraction (which represents labile inorganic P), similar to previously reported values of Saharan dust sampled in Israel. The data from Israel desert soils demonstrated that biological activity in desert crusts can have a small effect (with a maximum difference of 3.3 parts per thousand. between the topsoil and the subsoil) on the delta(18)Op of desert soils, mainly when developed soil crust is present, as a result of intracellular isotopic equilibration between oxygen in phosphate and soil water. However, biological crusts are not considered a major dust source. Additionally, Saharan dust sampled in Israel and in Puerto Rico had a delta(18)Op similar to apatite minerals derived from sedimentary phosphorites. Thus, we suggest the dust source had little or no biological activity. Furthermore, the delta(18)Op in Saharan dust was distinctive from other atmospheric P sources, such as pollen and wildfire ash, and as a result, the delta(18)Op can be used to distinguish between these atmospheric P main sources. |
