A comparison of soil characteristics of an ultra- and a sub-urban area Ian Yesilonis Richard Pouyat

Citywide results P, K, and bulk density differentiated forest from residential soils possibly due to management. Ca and pH differentiated residential grass from other turf grass cover types. Cu, Pb, and Zn were related to automobile sources and not related to TRI sites. Heavy metals were not explained by land use/cover at citywide scale.

Neighborhood scale Ultra urban inner city neighborhood (WS263) Suburban neighborhood (Cub Hill)

Methods The 0-5 cm soil samples were taken randomly stratified by an Ecotope land use/cover classification system. The soils were digested with a strong acid.

High residential density watershed Low residential density watershed 1 km radius Sampling design

Mostly constructed Watershed 263 Ecotope map

Results C: Constructed D: Disturbed OM: Ornamental Mixed vegetation OP: Ornamental Perennial

WS 263 is higher in most soil metal and nutrient concentrations for each Ecotope class.

Automobile by-products Pb: 22, 120, 1700, 11, 56 State average, Eco-SSL: plants, soil invertebrates, avian, and mammalian wildlife Cu: 20, 70, 80, 28, 51 Zn: 39

Coal by-products V: 63, (m) 280 Cr: 47.9, (m) Cr III 34, Cr IV 81

Urban deposition of Calcium? Lawn nutrients Is the potassium from the surface geology, ie. Plagioclase feldspars?

pH series Increased management of young lawns?

Opposite of what we expected!

Conclusions WS 263 had greater concentrations of Ca, Zn, Pb, S, Cu, As, and Mn than Cub Hill. –The only metal of concern in WS 263 Pb. Cub Hill had greater concentrations of K. For the residential soils of Cub Hill Ca and pH were weakly correlated to age of residential development.

Future Research Identify hot spots for accumulation of metals –Community awareness (intervention) –Directing mitigation efforts Understand relationship of metals to human exposure –Transport and movement –Source sink relationships
