Spatial Distribution and Enrichment Characteristics of Selenium in Paddy Soil and Rice Around the Dongting Lake
Environmental Pollution(2024)
摘要
Selenium (Se) deficiency is a major global health issue. Given that the Dongting Lake region is a significant agricultural production area in China, its soil and geographical properties have a marked influence on Se accumulation in rice. Investigating these factors and their importance can provide technical guidance for the production of Se-rich rice locally and in other similar regions worldwide. Such studies can foster Se-enriched agricultural practices on a global scale, contributing to improved human health and environmental quality. Therefore, in this study, we investigated 15,403 paddy soil samples and their corresponding rice grains from the Dongting Lake area, by analyzing their Se content, spatial distribution, and bioaccumulation factor (BCF). The effects of parent materials, soil characteristics (physicochemical), and geographical factors on Se content in soil, rice grains, and BCF were also assessed. We found that the average Se content in the paddy soil of the Dongting Lake area was 0.43 mg/kg, which was 1.48 folds higher than the background Se content (0.29 mg/kg) in Chinese soil. The average Se content in rice grains was 0.059 mg/kg, surpassing the Chinese standard for Se-rich rice (0.04 mg/kg). Se distribution in the paddy soil and rice were the highest in the western and central regions and lowest in the eastern region. Se-enriched rice and Se-enriched rice fields are widely distributed in Dongting Lake area. Seven parent materials significantly influenced soil Se and BCF. Correlation analysis revealed positive correlations between soil Se and soil organic matter (SOM), zinc, altitude, and mean annual precipitation. BCF was positively correlated with pH and mean annual temperature. The Random Forest model highlighted that SOM played a pivotal role in soil Se enrichment, being the most influential factor for both soil and rice enrichment (RR type), whereas pH exerted the most significant influence on soil enrichment without rice enrichment (RN type).
