摘要:

In a forested catchment in theFichtelgebirgemountains (NE-Bavaria, Germany) the long term SO42-budget (average 1988–1994) indicated that about 40% of the input with throughfall (16.8 kg SO42-S·ha−1·yr−1) was retained in the catchment. In order to identify processes acting as potential SO42-sinks, δ34S values of SO42-in soil solutions and runoff were measured between May and November 1994. δ34S values of the runoff and the fen were higher (5.8‰) than the δ34S values of the soil solution of the oxic soils in the terrestrial area (3.9‰). Because there is no lithogenic S source within the catchment, it can be assumed that SO42-deposition is the only S source in the catchment. Thus the results were interpreted as a result of SO42-reduction within the catchment, because the uptake of32S is favoured during the dissimilatory SO42-reduction and34S is consequently enriched in the soil solution. To estimate the amount of SO42-reduced isotopic fractionation factors between − 9‰ and −46‰ were considered, resulting in SO42-reduction rates of 1.8–9.3 kg SO42-S·ha−1yr−1. It was concluded that besides dissimilatory SO42-reduction another sink exists in the catchment (e.g. SO42-sorption in deep soil layers).
