abstract = {Colloids and their subset nanoparticles are key soil
constituents for nutrient and Organic Carbon (OC) storage
and transport, yet little is known about their specific role
in overall transfer of elements under hyper-arid conditions.
We analyzed the Water Dispersible Colloids (WDCs) of two
adjacent soil profiles, located either on the active (named:
Fan) or passive (named: Crust) sections of an alluvial fan.
Colloidal particles (<500 nm) were fractionated using
Asymmetric Field-Flow-Field Fractionation (AF4), which was
coupled online to an Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass
Spectrometer (ICP-MS) and an Organic Carbon Detector (OCD)
to detect the composition of size-fractionated colloids.
Three size categories of particles were identified:
nanoparticles (0.6–24 nm), fine colloids (24–210 nm),
and medium colloids (210–500 nm). The two profiles
differed distinctively in vertical WDC distribution and
associated phosphorus (P) content. Fractograms of the Crust
profile predominantly showed fine colloids, whereas the
medium-sized colloids dominated those of the Fan.
Furthermore, the highest colloid content in the Crust
profile was found at the surface, while in the Fan, colloids
accumulated at 10–20 cm depth, thus overall reflecting the
different genesis and infiltration capacities of the soils.
Despite very low concentration of colloidal P in these
hyper-arid soils, a strong correlation between colloidal P
and calcium (Ca), Silica (Si), aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), and
OC content were found. This also revealed Ca-phosphates as
the primary P retention from, with the association of P to
phyllosilicates and Fe/Al (hydr-) oxides as the main soil
colloidal fractions. Overall, our results did highlight that
small local scale differences in topographic-derived
distribution of water flow pathways, defined the formation
of the crust-like surfaces, and ultimately the overall
movement and distribution of nanoparticles and colloids in
soil profiles under hyper-arid conditions.},
