Abstract
Organic matter plays an important rolein controlling arsenic(As) release and transformation in soil, however, little is known about the effect of manure application on As behavior in soils with different As contents. In this study, waterlogged incubations using various As-contaminated paddy soils with manure amendment were conducted to investigate how manure application influence As mobilization and methylation in different paddy soils. The results indicated that manure application increased As release in paddy soils with high As (> 30mgkg-1) contents. Moreover, our findings also showed that manure application increased the relative abundance of arsM-harboring Euryacheota and Planctomycetes at the phylum level and arsM-harbouring Methanocellaceae, Anaerolinea and Bellinea at genus level, thereby promoting As methylation. These results provide important insights for the significant variation in As mobilization and methylation in paddy soils amended with manure. Moreover, our results suggest that serious consideration should be given to the manure application in As-contaminated paddy soil.
