Abstract

Selenium speciation controls the bioavailability in soils. It is hypothesized that selenium species vary with soil parent material, and genesis affect redistribution in soil. Objectives of the study were to determine selenium species in relation with soil genesis and parent material. Triplicate soil profiles were selected at three distinct stages of development in each of loess, alluvium, shale and sandstone residuum and sampled at genetic horizon level. Basic characteristics and total selenium was determined at Department of Soil Science and Soil and Water Conservation, Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan and selenate and selenite species were determined at Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, University of Georgia USA, over the period from February 2014 to March 2015. Soil pH, redox potential, calcium carbonate, dissolved and total organic carbon and dithionite and oxalate extractable iron were determined. Selenite and selenate were extracted in 0.1 N NaOH for determination using IC-ICP/MS. Selenite distribution differed significantly with parent material. The mean selenite distribution in parent materials followed the order shale > loess > alluvium > sandstone. Selenate was highest in shale parent material, while other three parent materials were similar in distribution. Soil total selenium also differed statistically with parent material. Mean selenite was 5-7 % of total selenium in alluvial, 1-2.7 % in loess, 3-7 % in sandstone and 3-4 % in shale derived soils. Mean selenate was 6-7 % of total selenium in alluvium and 4-4.5 % in loess; 8-11% in sandstone and 5 % in shale except surface had 30 % in Murree soil profile. This study helps the better understanding of selenate and selenite distribution in soil derived from different parent materials.
