abstract = {Amazonian Dark Earths (or terra preta de índico) are known
as highly fertile soils that can maintain elevated crop
yields for centuries. While this fertility was frequently
ascribed to the presence of black carbon, the availability
and colloidal binding of major nutrients received limited
attention. We examined the size distribution and the
elemental compositions of water-dispersible colloids (WDC)
in both forested and cultivated Terra Preta topsoils (0–10
cm, Anthrosols), as well as in their adjacent non-Terra
Preta controls (Acrisols) via asymmetric flow field-flow
fractionation (FFF). Liquid-state 31P-nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) spectra, black carbon content, and scanning
electron microscope (SEM) images were also obtained. We
found that WDC in Terra Preta soils contained a significant
proportion of organo-mineral associations in the size range
30–300 nm, whereas, in contrast, water-dispersible
nanoparticles with a diameter < 30 nm were dominant in the
adjacent Acrisols. The shifts to larger WDC sizes in the
Terra Preta soils went along with elevated pH values, as
well as with elevated contents of Si, Al, Fe, Ca and organic
matter-containing particles. Also P concentrations were
enriched in both the water-extractable phase (WEP) and WDC
extracts of Terra Preta soils relative to the adjacent
Acrisols. We assume that the higher pH values and Ca ion
concentrations promoted the involvement of soil organic
matter (SOM) into the formation of larger-sized colloids
consisting of kaolinite-like clay minerals, iron oxides and
Ca ions in the Terra Preta soils. The elevated content of Ca
in Terra Preta soil colloids may also contribute to the
retention of P, likely via bridging of anionic P like
orthophosphate to SOM. Preventing soil acidification is thus
not only to be recommended for Acrisols, but also for
maintaining colloidal structures and related fertility in
Terra Preta soils.},
