To test whether substrate addition changes background CO2 evolution of soil, we measured both 14CO2 and net CO2 evolution from various test compounds. Glucose caused a priming effect, defined as substrate-stimulated soil organic matter mineralization. Formate, benzoate, n-hexadecane, and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate caused no priming, and phenol caused only a transient one. The priming effect of glucose appears to be unusual and does not require a general rejection of net CO2 evolution measurements in biodegradability testing.
为了测试添加底物是否会改变土壤的背景二氧化碳释放量,我们测量了来自各种测试化合物的14CO2和净二氧化碳释放量。葡萄糖引起了激发效应,即底物刺激的土壤有机质矿化。甲酸盐、苯甲酸盐、正十六烷和邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯未引起激发效应,苯酚仅引起短暂的激发效应。葡萄糖的激发效应似乎并不寻常,在生物降解性测试中并不需要一概拒绝净二氧化碳释放量的测量。
