Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play key roles in soil biogeochemical processes, yet the occurrence and accumulation of ROS in the rhizosphere are poorly documented. Herein, we first developed a ROS-trapping membrane to in situ determine ROS in the ryegrass rhizosphere and then quantified the temporal and spatial variations of representative ROS (i.e., O2•─, H2O2, and •OH). Fluorescence imaging clearly visualized the production of ROS in the rhizosphere. Both O2•─ and H2O2 content increased first and then declined throughout the life cycle of ryegrass, while •OH concentration decreased continuously. Spatially, ROS contents remained at a relatively high level at 0-5 mm and then descended with increasing distance. The concentrations of ROS in different soils followed the order of black soil > latosol soil > yellow-brown soil > tier soil ∼ red soil. Analysis of soil properties suggested that both biotic factors (microbial community) and abiotic factors (Fe(II) and water-soluble phenols) played critical roles in ROS production. The combined processes, including Fe(II) and water-soluble phenol-mediated electron transfer, microbial community-driven extracellular O2•─ release, and Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycling, may be responsible for ROS production. These findings provide insights into ROS-associated rhizosphere effects and inspiration for the phytoremediation of pollutants and element cycling.
