摘要： Previous studies have reported that flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum can be used as an amendment for saline-alkali soils. However, little information is available regarding the effects of FGD gypsum on soil quality and crop production at large scales. Thus, we evaluated the changes in the soil salinity, sodicity, soluble ion levels, paddy rice (Oryza saliva L.) yield and heavy metal levels in soil and rice after reclamation with FGD gypsum and paddy planting over three years. Data (90 samples) were also collected from three neighbouring saline-sodic fields (1780 ha). As expected, soil salinity and sodicity decreased significantly after two years of reclamation. The levels of electrical conductivity (EC) and the sodium absorption ratio (SAR) decreased rapidly in the first year, and the pH and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) decreased substantially in the second year. Averaged across the experimental sites, the mean EC, pH, ESP and SAR levels of the soils two years after reclamation decreased by 38.6%, 14.6%, 61.2% and 87.8%, respectively, compared to those of the initial soils. In addition, the concentrations of water-soluble Na+ and CO32- + HCO3- were 97.5% and 96.8% lower, respectively, two years after reclamation than the concentrations before reclamation. The paddy rice yield increased over time with reclamation; the mean level in the second year was 7.4 t ha(-1) or 80% of the yield harvested from the managed fields of neighbouring farmers. Moreover, the heavy metal (Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb and As) contents of both soils and rice were lower than the established standards and below detectable limits after FGD gypsum application. These results confirm that FGD gypsum is a safe and effective way to reclaim saline-sodic soils and worthy of widespread application on the Songnen Plain in Northeast China and in similar ecological areas.
